I'm Jonathan '5' Harris (Rev. 3:7-13Revelation 3:7-13 - And to the 1messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says 2the Holy One, the true One, the One who has the key of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:
I know your 3works; behold, I have put before you an 4opened door which no one can shut, because you have a 5little power and have 6kept My word and have 7not denied My name. Behold, I will make 8those of the synagogue of Satan, those who call themselves Jews and are not, but lie––behold, I will cause them to come and fall prostrate before your feet and to know that I have loved you. 9Because you have kept the 10word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the 11hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth. 12I come quickly; 13hold fast what you have that no one take your crown. 14He who overcomes, him I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore, and I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Footnote: Note 1 The messenger of the church in Philadelphia to whom the Lord is speaking in this portion of John's Revelation is a Christian brother, prophet of Jehovah, and slave of our Lord Jesus Christ from Atlanta, Georgia, USA who is currently residing in the metro-atlanta area. The 43 years old Jonathan Paul Harris (a.k.a. '5', 'J5', or 'jony5', pronounced as "Johnny Five") is serving the Lord before both God and man at the end of this age to faithfully and openly bear this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom before the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14Matthew 24:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.). Saints, when God our heavenly Father sees fruit from this gospel preaching being borne in the hearts of men throughout all the nations (i.e. the hearts of the unregenerate or non-Christian have received this testimony), then the end (of the world or age) will come.
Through a door opened by the Lord (Rev. 3:8Revelation 3:8 - I know your works; behold, I have put before you an opened door which no one can shut, because you have a little power and have kept My word and have not denied My name.) in Q4 of 2011 and continuing until today, this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom is being borne by the messenger of the church in Philadelphia before all of God's people on the earth. When this word bears fruit in the hearts of the dear saints, the "40 years" (full measure of trials, tests, and sufferings, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 32:13Numbers 32:13 - And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation which had done evil in the sight of Jehovah was consumed.; Josh. 5:6Joshua 5:6 - For the children of Israel went for forty years through the wilderness until all the nation, the men of war who had come out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not listen to the voice of Jehovah, they to whom Jehovah swore that they would not see the land that Jehovah has sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.; Psa. 95:10-11Psalms 95:10-11 - For forty years I loathed that generation,
   And I said, They are a people who go astray in heart;
   And they do not know My ways;
Therefore I swore in My anger:
   They shall by no means enter into My rest!; Num. 14:35Numbers 14:35 - I, Jehovah, have spoken; surely I will do this to all this evil assembly who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.; Matt. 4:1-2Matthew 4:1-2 - Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He became hungry.) of God's people wandering in the wilderness where their corpses were being strewn along (Num. 14:29-30Numbers 14:29-30 - Your corpses shall fall in this wilderness, and none of you who were numbered, according to the number you counted from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, Shall come into the land, in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son Nun.; 1 Cor. 10:51 Corinthians 10:23 - But with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn along in the wilderness.) on account of their unbelief in God's word (Heb. 3:9-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.) will be over.
In fact and in practicality, this places the typological fulfillment of the Jordan River crossing of God's people (Num. 33:50-54Numbers 33:50-56 - Then Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and you shall destroy all their figured stones and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places; And you shall take possession of the land and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it. And you shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain of them will become as splinters in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you are dwelling. And just as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you.) as having started in Q2 of 2019 with the re-speaking (the deuteronomy) of the gospel on jony5.com where Christians were reminded of their blood-sealed and eternally binding covenant with Jehovah to keep the commandments of the Lord which are written upon their very heart of flesh (Ezek. 11:17-25Ezekiel 11:17-25 - Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. And they will come there and take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from it. And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, That they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them; and they will be My people, and I will be their God. But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their ways upon their heads, declares the Lord Jehovah. Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were next to them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain which is east of the city. And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to Chaldea, to the captives, in a vision by the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen went up from me. Then I told the captives all the things that Jehovah had shown me.; Jer. 31:33-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). And yet, many of God's people, lacking repentance (Rev. 2:21-22Revelation 2:21-22 - And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works;) and even rejecting this very revelation, will be measured by the Lord in that day, will be found by the Lord to be wanting, and will have thus fallen in the wilderness (Heb. 4:11Hebrews 4:11 - Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.) due to their unbelief in
God's word.
A new generation of God's people (even the children of those who are stumbling at the stone of stumbling, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 1 Pet. 2:7-81 Peter 2:7-8 - To you therefore who believe is the preciousness; but to the unbelieving, "The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner," And, "A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense"; who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.; Rom. 9:31-33Romans 9:31-33 - But Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not attain to that law. Why? Because they pursued it not out of faith, but as it were out of works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling, As it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense, and he who believes on Him shall not be put to shame."; 1 Cor. 1:23-251 Corinthians 1:22-25 - For indeed Jews require signs and Greeks seek wisdom, But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, But to those who 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.) will be the generation to enter into and to possess the good land, their own heart, with all boldness (Heb. 10:35Hebrews 10:35 - Do not cast away therefore your boldness, which has great reward.) according to all the promises of God. Saints, we are the "stone become bread" people...the "water become wine" peop...no...we are the "water become whiskey" people! We are the "stone become steamed 10 lb. lobster" people! We are the "stone become factory fresh Bugatti Chiron PUR Sport" people (John 14:12-14John 14:12-14 - Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! God our Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies to the praise of the glory of His grace (Eph. 1:3-14Ephesians 1:3-14 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.). This is our hope of glory laid up in the heavens (Col. 1:5Colossians 1:5 - Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,; 1:27Colossians 1:27 - To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,; 1 Pet. 1:3-51 Peter 1:3-5 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time.; 1:131 Peter 1:13 - Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.; Tit. 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb. 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; Heb. 10:23Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;). Jesus, our real Joshua (Heb. 4:8-16Hebrews 4:8-16 - For if Joshua had brought them into rest, He would not have spoken concerning another day after these things. So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His own. Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature that is not maifest before Him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we are to give our account. Having therefore a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin. Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may recieve mercy and find grace for timely help.), is now leading us to enter and to take the land, our heart...our eternal inheritance. A saint's good pleasure (Rom. 12:2Romans 12:2 - And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.; Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) to smoke a cigarette is the will of God or God's very commandment made known to them, as a faithful slave of God and laboring priest in the temple (John 2:21John 2:21 - But He spoke of the temple of His body.; Matt. 12:5Matthew 12:5 - Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?). Since they are a Christian and are thus enslaved to God (Rom. 6:22Romans 6:22 - But now, having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.), in order to faithfully satisfy the blood sealed and eternally effective (Heb. 9:14Hebrews 9:14 - How much more will the blood Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?) contract of their enslavement to righteousness (Rom. 6:18-19Romans 6:18-19 - And having been freed from sin, you were enslaved to righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.), they have no choice but to obey (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.; John 14:15, 20-21John 14:15, 20-21 - 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.) the will of God made known to them through their recognition of what is pleasurable or most delightful to their soul (2 Cor. 3:32 Corinthians 3:3 - Since you are being manifested that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone but in tablets of hearts of flesh.; Heb. 8:10Hebrews 8:10 - For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will impart My laws into their mind, and on their hearts I will inscribe them; and I will be God to them, and they will be a people to Me.; Jer. 31:31-34Jeremiah 31:31-34 - Indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.) which at this very moment and in this demonstration of a hope or of a spiritual blessing kept in the heavenlies (Eph. 1:3Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 8:16-17, 24-25Romans 8:16-17, 24-25 - 16 The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. And if children, heirs also; on the one hand, heirs of God; on the other, joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified with Him. 24 For we were saved in hope. But a hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it through endurance.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 2 Cor. 3:122 Corinthians 3:12 - Therefore since we have such hope, we use much boldness,; Gal. 5:5-6Galatians 5:5-6 - For we by the Spirit out of faith eagerly await the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith avails, operating
through love.; Eph. 1:9-14, 18-23Ephesians 1:9-14, 18-23 - 9 Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory. 18 The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength, Which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, Far above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come; And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.; Col. 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27Colossians 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27 - 5 Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, Which has come to you, even as it is also in all the world, bearing fruit and growing, as also in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God
in truth; 21 And you, though once alienated and enemies in your mind because of your evil works, He now has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and without reproach before Him; If indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a minister. 26 The mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations but now has been manifested to His saints; To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope
of glory,; 1 Thes. 1:2-31 Thessalonians 1:2-3 - We thank God always concerning all of you, making mention of you in our prayers, Remembering unceasingly your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;; 5:7-111 Thessalonians 5:7-11 - For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk are drunk during the night; But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us in order that whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with Him. Therefore comfort one another, and build up each one the other, even as you also do.; 2 Thes. 2:16-172 Thessalonians 2:16-17 - Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope in grace, Comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.; 1 Tim. 1:11 Timothy 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,; 6:171 Timothy 6:17 - Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;; Titus 1:1-3Titus 1:1-3 - Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's chosen ones and the full knowledge of the truth, which is according to godliness, In the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the times of the ages But in its own times manifested His word in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the command of our Savior God;; 2:11-15Titus 2:11-15 - For the grace of God, bringing salvation to all men, has appeared, Training us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age, Awaiting the blessed hope, even the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify to Himself a particular people as His unique possession, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort and convict with all authority. Let no one despise you.; 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; 6:17-20Hebrews 6:17-20 - Therefore God, intending to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His counsel, interposed with an oath, In order that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us, Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm and which enters within the veil, Where the Forerunner, Jesus, has entered for us, having become forever a High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.; 7:17-19Hebrews 7:17-19 - For it is testified, "You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." For there is, on the one hand, the setting aside of the preceding commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness (For the law perfected nothing), and, on the other hand, the bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as He was not made a Priest without the taking of an oath (For they are appointed priests without the taking of an oath, but He, with the taking of an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not regret it, You are a Priest forever"), By so much Jesus has also become the surety of a better covenant.; 10:21-23Hebrews 10:21-23 - And having a great Priest over the house of God, Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;; 11:1Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.; 1 Pet. 1:3-9, 13, 211 Peter 1:3-9, 13, 21 - 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time; In which time you exult, though for a little while at present, if it must be, you have been made sorrowful by various trials, So that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; Whom having not seen, you love; into whom though not seeing Him at present, yet believing, you exult with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of
your souls. 13 Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 21 Who through Him believe into God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.; 3:5-7, 14-221 Peter 3:5-7, 14-22 - 5 For in this manner formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands, As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children you have become, if you do good and do not fear any terror. Husbands, in like manner dwell together with them according to knowledge, as with the weaker, female vessel, assigning honor to them as also to fellow heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 14 But even if you suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not be afraid with fear from them, nor be troubled, But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you, Yet with meekness and fear, having a good conscience, so that in the manner in which you are spoken against, those who revile your good manner of life in Christ may be put
to shame. For it is better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also has suffered once for sins, the Righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, on the one hand being put to death in the flesh, but on the other, made alive in the Spirit; In which also He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, Who had formerly disobeyed when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared; entering into which, a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through
by water. Which water, as the antitype, also now saves you, that is, baptism, not a putting away of the filth of the flesh but the appeal of a good conscience unto God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to Him.; 1 John 3:1-101 John 3:1-10 - Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. Because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is. And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, even as He is pure. Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness also, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested that He might take away sins; and sin is not in Him. Everyone who abides in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him. Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who practices righteousness is righteous, even as He
is righteous; He who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Everyone who has been begotten of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten
of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest. Everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, neither he who does not love his brother.), kept in Christ for this particular saint...is lighting up a cigarette. For it is God who operates in that saint (1) to make His will manifest to them and (2) to affect the working out of His will in their life. This shit is always in alignment with the good pleasure (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) of one's soul; how can one fail under such a light burden? A saint always does what they want to do, and this is their "law." Our heavenly Master's burden is easy, and His yoke is light (Matt. 11:28-30Matthew 11:28-30 - Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.). If a saint has routine "failures," in daily life––. Saints, our vessel (Matt. 25:4, lit. soulMatthew 25:4 - But the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.) holds our person with its' God created natural delights (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) or what one may even call soulish pleasures, and our vessel also holds God the Father in Christ the Son as the Spirit with all of Their (Gen. 1:26Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.) delight and good pleasure (Eph. 1:9Ephesians 1:9 - Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself,). This makes the soul of the saint to be a container or vessel for a proper and tasty tea blend of the person of that saint and that of their Creator, God the Almighty, whom the saint formally addresses in their heart as Jesus Christ, the man. There is no need for formality, however. One can live by the feeling of the Lord in their soul and never mention or even consider His
name...His person. As the saint considers their feelings here and there throughout the day, they are kinda just sipping on this tea. If something tastes good to them, they will consider going that way; God's will is there. If it tastes bad, they turn away; the will of God for the path they walk in life is in this, too. Just believe it. Many times considerations result in or are unto enjoyment or pleasure for body and/or soul. Again, if you feel good about it ––,...and if you feel bad ––. The faithful slave sanctifies Christ Jesus as Lord in their heart (Jer. 24:7Jeremiah 24:7 - And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am Jehovah; and they will be My people, and I will be their God; for they will return to Me with their whole heart.; 1 Pet. 3:151 Peter 3:15 - But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you,), and then they honor God's commandments (Lev. 26:3-13Leviticus 26:3-13 - If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, Then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit. Indeed your threshing will overtake the vintage, and the vintage will overtake the sowing time. Thus you will eat your bread unto satisfaction and dwell securely in your land. And I will give you peace in the land, so that you will lie down and no one will make you afraid; and I will cause wild beasts to cease out of your land, and no sword will pass through your land. And you will chase your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. And five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; and your enemies will fall by the sword before you. And I will turn My face toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you. And you will eat the old supply long stored and will have to clear out the old because of the new. And I will set My tabernacle among you; and My soul will not abhor you. And I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright.; Deut. 4:1-2, 39-40Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 39-40 - 1 And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the ordinances which I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, is giving you. You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you. 39 Know therefore today and bring it to heart that Jehovah is God in heaven above and upon the earth below; there is no other. Therefore keep His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, so that you may extend your days upon the land which Jehovah your God is giving you forever.; 5:10, 29Deuteronomy 5:10, 29 - 10 Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 29 Oh that this heart of theirs would be in them always to fear Me and keep all My commandments so that it may go well with them and with their children forever!; 6:1-6, 16-25Deuteronomy 6:1-6, 16-25 - 1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God has commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land into which you are crossing over to possess; That you may fear Jehovah your God and keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life; and that your days may be extended. Therefore hear, O Israel, and be certain to do it, that it may go well with you and that you may be greatly increased, in a land flowing with milk and honey, even as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, promised you. Hear, O Israel, Jehovah is our God; Jehovah is one. And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I command you today, shall be upon your heart; 16 You shall not test Jehovah your God, as you tested Him at Massah. You shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and His testimonies and His statutes, which He has commanded you. And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah so that it may go well with you and you may enter and possess the good land, concerning which Jehovah swore to your fathers To drive out all your enemies from before you, as Jehovah has spoken. When your son asks you in the future, saying, What is the significance of the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Jehovah our God commanded you? Then you will say to your son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And Jehovah put forth before our eyes great and grievous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his house. Then He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, that He might give us the land which He swore to our fathers. And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes so that we would fear Jehovah our God for our good always and He would preserve us alive, as we are this day. And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 6:25Deuteronomy 6:25 - And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 7:9-26Deuteronomy 7:9-26 - Know therefore that it is Jehovah your God who is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and lovingkindness to the thousandth generation with those who love him and keep His commandments, But repays directly those who hate Him by destroying them. He will not be slow toward him who hates Him; He will repay him directly. Therefore you shall keep the commandment, and the statutes and the ordinances, which I am commanding you today to do. And it will be that because you listen to these ordinances, and keep them and do them, Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock, on the land which He swore to your fathers to give you. You will be more blessed than all other peoples; there will not be any barren male or female among you or among your animals. And Jehovah will remove every sickness from you, and none of the evil illnesses of Egypt, which you know about, will He put upon you; but He will give them to all who hate you. And you shall devour all the peoples which Jehovah your God is giving you; your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you. If you say in your heart, These nations are greater than I, how will I be able to dispossess them? You shall not be afraid of them; you must remember what Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt, The great trials that your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders, and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm with which Jehovah your God brought you out; so will Jehovah your God do to all the peoples whom you are afraid of. Furthermore, Jehovah your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and those who hide themselves from you are destroyed. You shall not be terrified of them, for Jehovah your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. And Jehovah your God will clear away these nations from before you little by little; you shall not devour all of them immediately, lest the beasts of the field multiply against you. But Jehovah your God will deliver them up before you and rout them utterly until they
are destroyed. And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under heaven; no man will be able to stand against you until you destroy them. The idols of their gods you shall burn with fire; you shall not desire the silver or gold upon them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God. And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, lest you become a cursed thing like it; you shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.; 8:1-10Deuteronomy 8:1-10 - The whole commandment which I am commanding you today, you shall keep and do, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers. And you shall remember all the way that Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness in order to humble you and test you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. And He humbled you and let you go hungry and fed you the manna, which you had never known nor your fathers had ever known, so that He might make you know that man lives not by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out from the mouth of Jehovah. Your clothing did not wear out from upon you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Jehovah your God was disciplining you; Therefore keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him. For Jehovah your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of waterbrooks, of springs and of fountains, flowing forth in valleys and in mountians; A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees with oil and of honey; A land in which you will eat bread without scarcity; you will not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and from whose mountains you can mine copper. And you shall eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless Jehovah your God for the good land which He has given you.; 11:1, 8-15, 22-28Deuteronomy 11:1, 8-15, 22-28 - 1 Therefore you shall love Jehovah your God and keep His charge and His statutes and His ordinances and His
commandments always. 8 Therefore you shall keep the whole commandment which I am commanding you today so that you may be strong and that you may go in and possess the land into which you are crossing over to possess, And so that you may extend your days upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. For the land which you are entering in to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you came forth, where you used to sow your seed and water by foot as in a vegetable garden. But the land into which you are crossing over to possess is a land of mountains and valleys; by virtue of heaven's rain, it drinks in water. It is a land which Jehovah your God cares for; always the eyes of Jehovah your God are upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. And if you are certain to listen to my commandments, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil. And I will put grass in your field for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. 22 For if you are certain to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him, Jehovah will dispossess all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads will be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the farmost sea will be your territory. No man will be able to stand against you; Jehovah your God will put the dread and fear of you upon all the land on which you tread, as He has spoken to you. See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: The blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today; And the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God and you turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after other gods whom you have not known.; 26:16-19Deuteronomy 26:16-19 - This day Jehovah your God is commanding you to do these statutes and ordinances; therefore you shall keep them and do them with all your heart and with all your soul. It is Jehovah whom you have today declared to be your God and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes and His commandments and His ordinances, and will listen to His voice. And it is Jehovah who has today declared you to be a people for His personal treasure, even as He promised you; and that you will keep all His commandments; And that He will set you high above all the nations which He has made, for praise and for a name and for honor; and that you will be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as He has spoken.; 28:1-14Deuteronomy 28:1-14 - And if you listen diligently to the voice of Jehovah your God and are certain to do all His commandments, which I am commanding you today, Jehovah your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth; And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you listen to the voice of Jehovah your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your animals, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. Jehovah will cause your enemies, who rise up against you, to be struck down before you; on one road they will come out against you, but on seven roads they will flee before you. Jehovah will command the blessing upon you in your storehouses and in all your undertakings; and He will bless you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you. Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in His ways. And all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by Jehovah's name, and they will be afraid of you. And Jehovah will give you an excess of prosperity in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your animals and in the fruit of your ground, upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you. Jehovah will open up to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give rain for your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings. And you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. And Jehovah will make you the head and not the tail, and you will tend only upward, and you will not tend downward, if you will listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today to keep and to do. And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.; 30:11-20Deuteronomy 30:11-20 - For this commandment which I am commanding you today, it is not too difficult for you, nor is it distant. It is not in heaven that you should say, Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? Nor is it across the sea that you should say, Who will go across the sea for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? But the word is very near to you, even in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have put before you today life and good, and death and evil. If you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and walk in His ways and keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you will live and multiply, and Jehovah your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns and you do not listen, but rather you are drawn away in worship to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish; your days will not be extended upon the land into which you are crossing over the Jordan to go and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life that you and your seed may live, In loving Jehovah your God by listening to His voice and holding fast to Him; for He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell upon the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Issac, and to Jacob, to give them.; Exo. 15:26Exodus 15:26 - And He said, If you will listen carefully to the voice of Jehovah your God and do what is right in His eyes and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who heals you.; 1 Kings 8:54-661 Kings 8:54-66 - And when Solomon has finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he rose up from before the alter of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward the heavens. And he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. Not one word of all His good promises which He spoke through Moses His servant has failed. May Jehovah our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; let Him not forsake us nor abandon us, That He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers. And let these words of mine, with which I made supplication to Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night to maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel as each day requires; That all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God; there is none else. Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments as on this day. And the king and all Israel with Him offered sacrifices before Jehovah. And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. Thus the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah. On that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings because the bronze alter which was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings. And Solomon held a feast at that time and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven more days, fourteen days in all. On the eight day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king and went to their tents joyful and happy in heart for all the goodness which Jehovah had shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.; Neh. 1:1-11Nehemiah 1:1-11 - The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa the capital, Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and some men from Judah; and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who were left from the captivity, and about Jerusalem. And they said to me, The remnant who are left from the captivity there in the province are in an exceedingly bad state and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates have been burned with fire. And when I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and I mourned for some days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, And I said, I beseech You, O Jehovah the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep His commandments: Let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now day and night, concerning the children of Israel, Your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel that we have sinned against You. Indeed, I and the house of my father have sinned; We have been most corrupt toward You and have not kept the commandments and the statutes and the ordinances that You commanded Moses Your servant. Remember now the word that You commanded Moses Your servant, saying, If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; But if you return to Me and keep My commandments and perform them, though your outcasts are under the ends of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell. Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand. I beseech You, O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayer of Your servants, who take delight in fearing Your name; and cause Your servant to prosper today, and grant him to find compassion before this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.) which are written upon the very same (Jer. 31:31-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - Indeed days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). This is what Jehovah says is to "love the Lord your God" (Dan. 9:4Daniel 9:4 - And I prayed to Jehovah my God and confessed; and I said, Ah, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep
His commandments,; Gen. 26:4-5Genesis 26:4-5 - And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and will give to your seed all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, Because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.; Exo. 20:6Exodus 20:6 - Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.). Can anyone guess what hatred of God looks like to Jehovah? Next question...who throws away their child's best porno mag? As a Christian, as a slave of God, there is a blood sealed contractual obligation for one to honor their God created God given natural desires according to the terms of peace (Luke 14:31-32Luke 14:31-32 - Or what king, going to engage another king in war, will not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? Otherwise, while he is yet at a distance, he sends an envoy and asks for the terms of peace.), and there should also be a desire to "NOT be put to shame" before their Master in heaven above (Phil. 1:20Philippians 1:20 - According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.) and before so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us (Heb. 12:1Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, put away every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and run with endurance the race which is set before us,). Being a proper slave of God will definitely make a Christian to be salty to God (Matt. 5:13Matthew 5:13 - You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has become tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything except to be cast out and trampled underfoot by men.; Mark 9:50Mark 9:50 - Salt is good, but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you restore its saltiness? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another.; Luke 14:34-35Luke 14:34-35 - Therefore salt is good; but if even the salt becomes tasteless, with what will its saltiness be restored? It is fit neither for the land nor for the manure pile; they will throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.)...lots of flavor! In complete ignorance and with no instructions save the teaching of the Anointing, I applied this truth perfectly as a young single college brother in 2003 (now Jan. 23, 2023). After 20 years of living in this truth...people, at a glance, think that I am a criminal (or a rapper). Christian living during the apostolic period of church history (A.D. 33–100) left many saints dead or imprisoned as criminals. So, I think I can say I am living (and am here teaching) the perfect carbon copy of a pure and apostolically sourced Christian living,...with exceptions being on account of maybe the internet existing and the popularity of human rights...oh yeah, and we have penicillin. Hey, don't knock it; penicillin is the next best thing to having a son of God with leaves in your midst (Rev. 22:2Revelation 22:2 - And on this side and on that side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations.). This is the truth of the Gospel which the saints guarded as a secret in the midst of those most violent and pagan days (Matt. 10:16-33Matthew 10:16-33 - Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore prudent as serpents and guileless as doves. And beware of men, for they will deliver you up to sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. And you will also be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you should speak, for it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; For you are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is the One speaking in you. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death. And you will be hated by all because of My name. But he who has endured to the end, this one shall be saved. And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another. For truly I say to you, You shall by no means finish the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is sufficient for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of
His household! Therefore do not fear them; for there is nothing covered which will not be revealed, and hidden which will not be made known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And not one of them will fall to the earth apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. Everyone therefore who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father who is in the heavens; But whoever will deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father who is in the heavens.); this is the narrow Way that leads to life (Matt. 7:13-14Matthew 7:13-14 - Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it.). This good pleasure of soul can and must be honored (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.). If the heart of God should "feel differently" on any matter, in Him is the Yes, through Him is the Amen to God (2 Cor. 1:20-222 Corinthians 1:20-22 - For as many promises of God as there are, in Him is the Yes; therefore also through Him is the Amen to God, for glory through us to God. But the One who firmly attaches us with you unto Christ and has anointed us is God, He who has also sealed us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.). The slave's response, as being obedient, is always "Amen" or "yes" to their Lord. And this is especially true when their heavenly Master says "no." "Amen, my Lord." The Lord saying "no" always (read this as...always check 2 out of the 3) turns out to be so easy, precious, and completely unpredictable. As a faithful slave of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can testify that usually, I just get to do what I want to do day to day. And to secretly suffer loss of enjoyment at your Masters beckoning and for your Master's sake–– ...well, our Lord suffered loss as He faithfully walked in obedience to the Father, so the company is good if one is hanging around in that place. We will follow our Master spontaneously as we consider one another in love under the light of the truth of the Gospel. When at the moment of choice, it is clearly realized by any faithful slave...uplifting sacrifice (loss) before the eyes of the saints with all the talk of sacrifice and teaching of sacrifice is useless. Teaching sacrifice (loss) does nothing but tempt the saints to deny (Matt. 26:33-35, 69-75Matthew 26:33-35, 69-75 - 33 Then Peter answered and said to Him, If all will be stumbled because of You, I will never be stumbled. Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that in this night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. Peter said to Him, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You. And all the disciples said likewise. 69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, You also were with Jesus the Galilean. But he denied it before all, saying, I do not know what you are talking about! And after he had gone out to the porch, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man! And after a little while those who were standing there came to Peter and said, Surely you also are one of them, for your speech also makes it clear that you are. Then he began to curse and to swear: I do not know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus has said, Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.; Mark 14:27-31, 66-72Mark 14:27-31, 66-72 - 27 And Jesus said to them, You will all be stumbled, because it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." But after I have been raised, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said to Him, Even if all will be stumbled, yet I will not! And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that today in this night, before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. But he went on speaking more intensely, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You! And they all said similarly. 66 And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, And seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus. But he denied it, saying, I neither know nor understand what you are talking about. And he went outside into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed. And the servant girl, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by, This man is one of them! But again he denied it. And after a little while, those standing by again said to Peter, Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean as well. But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak! And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus had said to him, Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And thinking upon it, he wept.; Luke 22:33-34, 54-62Luke 22:33-34, 54-62 - 33 And he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death. But He said, I tell you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me. 54 And having arrested Him, they led Him away, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. But Peter followed at a distance. And when they had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. And a certain servant girl, seeing him seated in the light of the fire, looked intently at him and said, This man was with Him too. But he denied it, saying, I do not know Him, woman. And after a short time, another person, seeing him, said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not! And after about one hour had passed, another one insisted, saying, Surely this man was also with Him, for he is also a Galilean. But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And instantly, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly.; John 13:37-38; 18:14-27John 13:37-38; 18:14-27 - 13:37 Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times. 18:14 Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, as well as another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest; But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door and brought Peter in. Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not. Now the slaves and the attendants were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The high priest then questioned Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and I spoke nothing in secret. Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard Me, concerning what I spoke to them; behold, these know what I said. And when He said these things, one of the attendants standing by slapped Jesus, saying, Is that how You answer the high priest? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken wrongly, testify concerning the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me? Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you not also one of His disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the slaves of the high priest, who was a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with Him? Then Peter denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed.) the Lord. What can the saints even do? They can only lose enjoyment when their Master says to them "no". What does teaching sacrifice (loss) accomplish? Rebellion. Honoring all revelation and practicality, the dominant force of understanding for the Christian notion of sacrifice should strongly align with feasting and enjoyment. Overemphasizing sacrifice (loss) to the saints tempts the slaves of the Lord to start playing the role of master (Phil. 2:5-8Philippians 2:5-8 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) with themselves whilst randomly selecting some God created, God honored, and basically God mandated pleasure of the soul to be denyed to themselves after having sent themselves on an unguided, soul, searching, strain-out-the-gnat tour of duty passing through all of the high places in the good land (their soul) for any frigg'n stick or stone pillar that can be earnestly bowed down to for a sugar pill demonstration to themselves of their devotion to God through suffering borne out of zeal (Rom. 10:2-3Romans 10:2-3 - For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full knowledge; For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness and sought to establish their own righteousness, they were not subject to the righteousness of God.; Gal. 1:14Galatians 1:14 - And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being more abundantly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.) but absent of revelation. With a swiftness, there should be zeal exercised unto repentance (Rev. 3:19Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore
and repent.) in all of these situations amongst the people of the Lord. When a slave of the Lord follows and honors their enjoyment of smoking a cigarette in their soul moment by moment and day by day, they are walking by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25Galatians 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25 - 16 But I say, Walk by the Spirit and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.). As laboring priest in the temple of their own body (John 2:20-21John 2:20-21 - Then the Jews said, This temple was built in forty-six years, and You will raise it up in three days? But He spoke of the temple of His body.), they do the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:581 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.; Matt. 10:10bMatthew 10:10b - For the worker is worthy of his food.; John 14:10John 14:10 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.; Rom 2:6-7Romans 2:6-7 - Who will render to each according to his works: To those who by endurance in good work seek glory and honor and incorruptibility, life eternal;), and they light up that cigarette...being faithful and obedient even unto death...and that the death of a cigarette. Our Lord, also, was a faithful and obedient slave (Phil. 2:8Philippians 2:8 - And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) of God. Disobeying God's commandments (i.e. dishonoring but especially denying (John 13:37-38John 13:37-38 - Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times.) one's own natural desires of the soul) can provoke the chastening of the Lord. Chastisement has various severities and, absent repentance, all can lead to discipline by fire and brimstone in outer darkness. What a saint under the chastening of the Lord can look like:
For example and brevity: "A-B-C-X-Y-Z." = I <3 smoking cigarettes!

Daily Prayers:
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z."
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" for the last time.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z"...last time...really.
The rebellion of the saint:
As a created being, the soul's naturally inclined sentiments of appreciation are a significant factor in a saint's realization of the will God for them. Indeed, all of the hopes of that saint in Christ will align with these their naturally created God given delights as part of the expected fulfillment of all of the promises of God. If the saint can faithfully keep God's commandments to them, which commandments are written upon their very heart, they will receive all of their hopes (Eph. 1:3-12Ephesians 1:3-12 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ.; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 1 Cor. 9:8-11, 131 Corinthians 9:8-11, 13 - 8 Am I speaking these things according to man? Or does the law not also say these things? For in the law of Moses it is written: "You shall not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain." Is it for oxen that God cares? Or does He say it altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written because the plowman should plow in hope, and he who threshes, in hope of partaking. If we have sown to you the spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap from you the fleshly things? 13 Do you not know that those who labor on the sacred things eat the things of the sacred temple, that those who attend to the alter have their portion with the alter?) or promised blessings. Today I purchase cigarettes, tomorrow, "stone become cigarette" (John 14:10-14John 14:10-14 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! Following blind guides under the influence of the teachings of Satan (1 Tim. 4:1-51 Timothy 4:1-5 - But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons By means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, of men who are branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron, Who forbid marriage and command abstaining from foods, which God has created to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if received with thanksgiving; For it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.; Rev. 2:12-17Revelation 2:12-17 - And to the messenger of the church in Pergamos write: These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name and have not denied My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, that you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol sacrifices and to
commit fornication. In the same way you also have some who hold in like manner the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Repent therefore; but if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of My mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and to him I will give a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.; 2:18-23Revelation 2:18-23 - And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like shining bronze: I know your works and love and faith and service and your endurance and that your last works are more than the first. But I have something against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and leads My slaves astray to commit fornication and to eat idol sacrifices. And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works; And her children I will kill with death; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the inward parts and the hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to
your works.), the saint is taught to appreciate "clean smoke free Christian living", and the saint enjoys eating sacrifice at the feet of this Asherah idol with other Christians of similar ilk. Now when this saint desires to smoke a cigarette according to their God created natural desires, the "clean living" Asherah idol with all of that saint's appreciation from enjoyment at sacrifice are insulted. The saint has sinned in the face of their Asherah idol and the deceitfulness (2 Thes. 2:8-122 Thessalonians 2:8-12 - And then the lawless one will be revealed (whom the Lord Jesus will slay by the breath of His mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of His coming), The coming of whom is according to Satan's operation in all power and signs and wonders of a lie And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might
be saved. And because of this God sends to them an operation of error that they might believe the lie, So that all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness might be judged.; Heb. 3:7-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.; John 8:1-11John 8:1-11 - But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst, They said to Him, Teacher, this woman has been caught committing adultery, in the very act. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say? But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and 1wrote with His finger on the ground. But when they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. And when they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the older ones. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman stood where she was, in the midst. And Jesus stood up and said to her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more. Footnote: 8:61 While the Holy Spirit sealed (or kept as a secret) the word of the Lord written in the dirt upon the ground here before the adulterous woman, before her accusers, and before the writer of this book of gospel, there is yet clear scriptural record of this hidden truth spoken openly by the Lord in His earthly ministry. This truth was able to muzzle the mouths of the accusing and unbelieving Jews in the days of our Lord, and this...now unsealed...speaking will have the same affect upon the unbelieving, the finger pointing, and the beating-their-fellow-slaves-and-drunk-with-the-blood-of-the-saints Christians today in 2023. What Jesus wrote upon the ground would have aligned very closely to the word spoken by the Lord (recorded in scripture) later in the gospel of John. According to the word of the Lord in John 9:39-41, if a saint sees sin in another (or in themselves!), this is equal to that saint (the accuser) still having that sin; I.e. an accuser is not forgiven by God of any sin they see in themselves or another. This is the deceitfulness of sin–– Therefore, those bringing accusation against the adulterous woman here in John 8...they still had their sin; they made it very clear that they saw sin in their Hebrew sister. And because the accusers still had their sin, they were not qualified to throw a single stone at the woman...as the Lord said when He stood up. "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Only the Lord Jesus, who saw no sin in the woman, was qualified to throw a stone at the woman, and the scriptural record indicates that the Lord did not condemn her to death. Neither will our heavenly Master condemn us, dear saints; His burden is easy, and His yoke is light. Furthermore, the woman was told to "go, and from now on sin no more." This was a command from the king of kings for the believing woman to simply live out her life...to simply honor the desires (the good pleasures) of her heart, to simply fear nothing, and...most importantly...to simply see no sin in herself! This woman walked out of the presence of the Lord as a believing Christian living in simplicity according to the two (2) pillars! All things are lawful; honor the good pleasures of your heart as commandment from God. This adulterous woman will be fucking forever...unlike most of the saints whose carcasses fell in the wilderness as they wandered aimlessly for forty years. According to the Bible, most Christians
(1 Cor. 10:5) will be made to be as eunuchs from God for the healing of the nations; most of the Christians will live forever in the kingdom of God as such...eunuchs who heal the basic and natural humans that are allowed live in the kingdom of God and which said humans comprise the totality of all the nations living in God's earthly kingdom for all eternity. This is the truth of the Gospel; this is the two (2) pillars. When a Christian points a finger and makes accusation against another or even against themselves (a house divided), that accusing saint still has their sin, and they will die in that sin when they stand before the Lord at His judgement seat. For with what judgement you judge, you shall be judged by God, and in what you judge another, you condemn yourself...to death. On a slightly more positive note, the scriptures hold record elsewhere of another woman "caught in promiscuity", and yet with very different results. In this other scene, the "adulterous" woman does not find herself surrounded by those with a thirst for the bloodshed of the saints (Rev. 17:6; 16:5-6; 18:23-24), does not find herself surrounded by those like the self righteous and unbelieving scribes and Pharisees who live as if their conscience is branded as with a hot iron (1 Tim. 4:2-3), and does not find herself surrounded by the unrighteous who only see trespasses and sins in their brethren (John 9:41). The "adulterous" woman in this other scene is shepherded unto life and much blessing (Luke 1:42-55) by
the righteous. When a Hebrew sister named Mary was found to be with child before she had come together with her husband, Joseph (Matt. 1:18), her husband did not drag her out by the hair and to the synagogue or to the temple in Jerusalem for judgement before the high priest and also for the subsequent stoning. Instead, Joseph sought to send his wife away in secret to thus spare her any public shame, spare her any additional embarrassment, and of course spare her from the judgement of death. Today in 2023, unfaithful spouses are shamefully and openly crucified with all fanfare and celebrity by Christians as standard issue, and the kings of the earth (human governments) get rich (Rev. 17:2; 18:3, 9) taking their money. This is a Babylonian business model that is permeated through and through with Asherah idol sacrifice (savage appreciation of fairytale white dress marriage ceremony). This is a business model that is powered by fornication (marriage contract violators are expected...even taught...to feel bad (Rev. 2:14, 20, 24)). And this is a business model that is promoted by Catholicism along with her
many daughters. The king of kings has judged this satanic system in its entirety, and He is returning soon (Matt. 24:15-22) in order to miserably kill all of these demonically influenced (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 10:19-20; 1 Tim. 4:1-5; Rev. 9:20-21; 18:2-3) and murderous people of Babylon with the sword of His mouth and to burn their city (Matt. 21:40-41; Luke 19:15, 27; Rev. 2:16; 19:15, 21; Matt. 22:7) to the ground. The New Testament...the covenant (legally binding and blood sealed contract) that Christians have with Jehovah...teaches and testifies to all Christians that the manner in which Joseph sought to handle his "unfaithful" wife, Mary, was a clear demonstration of righteousness as coming from a righteous saint (Matt. 1:19). And as a righteous saint, Joseph will hence be feasting and fucking forever. Any Christian that is seeking to have a testimony of righteousness before God and man will honor the testimony of this husband that is recorded in the Bible with their Christian life and with a healthy fear of the Lord God the Almighty presiding over
their heart. This is the testimony of the Gospel. Any Christian who expects to be fucking for all eternity surely has to do better than the unbelieving scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 5:20), lest the appointment of that Christians' portion be as with the hypocrites (Matt. 24:51), as with the unbelievers (Luke 12:46). In that place[outer darkness or lake of fire or the second death] there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. In that place, no rest will be found for the soul in waterless places (Matt. 12:43). This is because in waterless places (wherever there is land), the righteous and joyfully living people...the saints and the nations...are eating, drinking,...and fucking. Observation of and longings for this wedding feast enjoyment from the position of the lake of fire will trigger destruction within the souls that are under the authority of the second death. The souls of the saints that are in outer darkness will face destruction when their desires for participation are provoked by observation of the feasting and fucking in the 1,000 year millennium kingdom. Furthermore, it must be understood that both hell[death before the King's return] and the lake of fire[outer darkness or the second death after the return of the King in about 5 years] are right here on earth. The bodyless souls of men in these places (or rather...in these conditions of existence) are invisible to the living and even to the other dead, but the dead can talk to and hear each other. They have no bodies to be seen, nonetheless. So all of the dead unregenerate[not God's Old/New Testament people] and all of the sleeping saints are right here on earth with full access to travel anywhere, to see anything in their line of sight, and to hear everything from the surface of the moon, to the ISS in orbit, down to a submarine in the Mariana Trench. Understand that there are no secrets (Matt. 10:26). Every single human that has ever existed is still here, and they will always be here...no...matter...what...for...all...eternity. Only God's people amongst the living will ever have access to heaven in that day, however. Saints in outer darkness have to wait 1,000 years before that can go between heaven and earth at their own will. Most Christians, the eunuchs (sons of Gehenna), will have to wait 1,000 years before they are able to climb the heavenly ladder to go to heaven. The harlot and the tax collector will have been ascending and descending upon the Son of Man as the heavenly ladder for 1,000 years (and starting in about 5 years) by the time the workers of lawlessness (the broken cisterns which hold no water for the enjoyment of God and man (Jer. 2:12-13)) gain access to heaven (Matt. 21:28-32). In hell or hades, unbelievers[not God's people] hunger and thirst for the satisfaction of their hearts' desires (Luke 16:24-25) according to what they can see and hear in the living. From Adam and Eve until today, all of God's people in hell are resting in peace in Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22) and will be as such until the return of the King. The "bosom of Abraham" or "Paradise" (Luke 23:42-43) is a condition of comfort and rest for those who have completed their course in life and are chosen by God to be among God's people...even those chosen to live in His kingdom for all eternity. In the lake of fire, both the unbelievers (lasting for all eternity, and to start in 5 years for:
- the tares[fake christians (Matt. 13:24-30)],
- the antichrist (Rev. 19:20),
- the false prophet (Rev. 19:20),
- and the deceived modern-society-nations[the goats (Matt. 25:32-46)] who live to see Jesus return in about 5 years;
- and to start in just over 1,000 years for those not written in the book of life and already dead + the armies at Armageddon that Jesus will send to hell by speaking (Rev. 19:21)) and the lawless Christians (lasting for 1,000 years, and to start in about 5 years for most of the Christians) will all face the agony of the loss or destruction of their soul. In the lake of fire which burns with fire and brimstone (Rev. 14:9-11), when the desires of the heart are stirred up by what one can see and hear of the enjoyment of the living upon the surface of the earth, the agony of the destruction (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 3:3; Gal. 6:8; James 5:3; Col. 3:5-6) of the desires of the heart comes upon the soul like a flame to the flesh. In the kingdom of the heavens, there is an actual place, a literal Gehenna, that will begin to smoke as visible indication to the saints in heaven...even to the martyrs and faithful witnesses...of the torment of the souls of men (and eventually of Satan with his principalities, powers, and the demons) in the lake of fire. Once started, Gehenna will always have smoke ascending from it in heaven for all eternity. Today, Jan 31, 2023 @ 0645 hrs, there is no smoke in that place, called Gehenna, in heaven. There is no smoke because the lake of fire here on earth is currently empty; Soul occupancy = 0; smoke = 0. Soon, Gehenna in heaven will pop smoke, and the sons of Gehenna (Matt. 23:15)...which also includes all of the fear mongering 9/11 murderers and their children appointed by God to complete destruction...will be produced by God here on earth in the lake of fire. These workers of lawlessness (Matt. 7:23; 13:40-42) who, in 2011, came into apartment #305 on Marietta Street in Atlanta will comprise the most savagely FUBAR'd segment of the population of eternal eunuchs in the kingdom of the heavens ever to be produced by God our Father for the healing of the nations (Rev. 22:2) for all eternity. When these saints walk into the room, everyone will know they were in my apartment in 2011; everyone will know they fucked with the messeger to the church in Philadelphia towards and even through the end of the age of grace in 2023; everyone will know these are the Christians who picked the wrong nigger to fuck with. It is strongly indicated in scripture that all such workers may neither eat nor drink, as well; their only food may be to do the will of God (John 4:31-34), and rivers of living water come forth from their innermost being (John 7:38)...this may be their eternal drink. More than 50% of all Christians have been appointed by God to receive this portion (1 Cor. 10:5) of wrath from God. Furthemore and as prophesied by Jesus (Matt. 24:15), abominations coming out of the possessions of and supporting the political agendas of the desolator...these same 9/11 murders...with said desolation having been set to trample, set to come up against, and even set to satisfy legalities for the destruction of the holy temple, and as if that's not enough, with set resolve to hinder all priestly temple services, sacrifice (this shit is strictly personal), and oblation contained therein–– Which said holy temple...the vessel of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia (a veritable and God damned muther fucking badass community college negro from the south hailing from Atlanta, GA) is simultaneously being trampled and, by virtue and provocation of said trampling before the eyes of God the Father, is also commanding a special portion of complete destruction from God Himself for the desolator (the same fear mongering bloodshed 9/11 idiots mentioned above) and their children...as prophesied by Daniel the prophet (Dan. 9:17-27). This destruction is being stored up at this very moment and daily in 2023 for (and will be dispensed by God Himself personally to ALL) of the 9/11 conspirators (and those UK bombings wankers) and their spiritual children, even to the third and fourth generation (Exo. 20:5) of those who hate Jehovah. Says the messenger, J5: [earmuffs!] "I wish these ivy league PhDs would go home, get way more people and permission to waste another 12 years of the prime of my life; then come back and trample the outer court (the mortal body) of my temple (soul) with both feet. I'm most terribly bored and almost certainly...no...definitely...dying slowly from boredom and lack of any current or even a forseable challenge that I can use to muster up some feeling of excitement or anticipation. I have nothing to dream about. All of these muppets are dumb as fuck and soft like a napkin...in summary...they're just a bunch of academically juiced, scare mongering, story-telling pussies with nothing but organizational book smarts, with old age in spades, with the Catholic Pope's dick repeatedly getting jammed down their throat (absolutely no gagging––), and with an around-the-clock need to have their dusty ivy league PhD-umb asses wiped by this negro community college boy from Atlanta with an undergrad from state and a B-minus GPA. Gawd dammit...where's my friggin' beer!?! I can be piss freekin' drunk 24/7/365 and still hand this crowd-of-dunces-riff-raff-of-men their dusty flippin' asses every...God...damn...muther...lovin' day!! ...and this is all before my heavenly Master has even stepped up to the plate to have a swing at these chumps. YEAH, that's right, you suckers! I haven't even tagged my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into the ring yet, you fools! And I happen to know for a God-damned muther truckin' fact that my heavenly Father God in God-dawggit freekin' heaven above is absolutely and positively chomping at the bit to have just one round with your stuck up lil' miss fancy pants asses. At this point, I've taken like 12 years to go to town and back on a daily basis and all over your dumb ivy league asses. My God in heaven above...He only wants one day (Psa. 90:4; 2 Pet. 3:8). NOW GO GET WAY MORE PEOPLE SO I CAN TAG JESUS INTO THIS BITCH ON SOMETHING FRESH!! THIS OLD THING IS SLOPPY AND TIRED...Well, mainly sloppy... p.s. - Tell your girl I said hi...Just tell her I said, hello!" Like a cast-out-of-body and wandering demon in Satan's kingdom of darkness, the saint which took the teachings of demons from blind guides and then fell short of Joseph's testimony in caring for themself and others before the Lord...the saint that fell short of a testimony borne in righteousness...that saint will run like a demon to the middle of the South Pacific Ocean for their unclean spirit to brood over the deep, dark, and rolling waters in order to find rest for their soul (Mark 5:7-13). In that place, there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth for 1,000 years. The Lord's speaking, as recorded in John 9:39-41: And Jesus said, For judgement I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may
become blind. Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, We are not blind also, are we? Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now that you say, We see; your sin remains. ) of said transgression (there is no sin) then leads their heart into fornication. As the Lord wrote in the dirt, if you see sin, you have sin (John 8:6John 8:6 - But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote with His finger on the ground.; 9:41John 9:41 - Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; your sin remains.). Something that is NOT the Holy Spirit has pricked this Christian's conscience, telling them that they did wrong and have sinned before heaven and earth; this is spiritual fornication, and the wrath of God will come (Col. 3:6Colossians 3:6 - Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;) to destroy the offending desire from the soul. The good land will vomit this saint out (Lev. 18:1-5, 24-28Leviticus 18:1-5, 24-28 - 1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am Jehovah your God. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt; and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, nor shall you walk in their statutes. You shall observe My ordinances, and you shall keep My statutes to walk in them; I am Jehovah your God. So you shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, by which, if a man does them, he will live; I am Jehovah. 24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these things, for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have defiled themselves. Because the land has become defiled, I visited its iniquity upon it, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. You therefore shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native nor the sojourner who sojourns among you (For the men of the land who were before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled); That the land does not vomit you out when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation which was before you. For all who do any of these abominations, those persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore you shall keep My charge, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and you do not defile yourselves by them; I am Jehovah your God.) at the location in question and at every high place in the soul (Col. 3:5Colossians 3:5 - Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry.) where the saint has setup an Asherah or (and with the highest degree of certainty) a Baal (1 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-181 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-18 - 37 Answer me, O Jehovah; answer me, that this people may know that You, O Jehovah, are God and that You have turned their heart back again. And the fire of Jehovah fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. And when the people saw this, they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah––He is God! Jehovah––He is God! And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there. 45 And in the meantime the heavens became black with clouds, and there was wind and a great rain. And Ahab mounted his chariot and went to Jezreel. And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and all about how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, The gods do so to me and even more, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the life of one of them! And because he was afraid, he rose up and went away for his life; and he came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his attendant there. And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a certain broom shrub; and he requested for himself that he might die and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers. And he lay down and slept under the broom shrub. And suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, Rise up and eat. And he looked, and there at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time and touched him and said, Rise up and eat; for the journey is too great for you. And he rose up and ate and drank, and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. And there he went into a cave and lodged there. And at that time the word of Jehovah came to him; and He said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And He said, Go out, and stand upon the mountain before Jehovah. And suddenly Jehovah passed by, and a great, strong wind rent the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before Jehovah––Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake––Jehovah was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire––Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a gentle, quiet voice. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And then a voice came to him and said, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And Jehovah said to him, Go; return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you come there, anoint Hazael as king over Syria; And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint as king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. And him who escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and him who escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. Yet I have left Myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.). If the offending (offending to the dumb idol set up in the good land, a pillar stood up at a grand vista [a place with a good view] in the heart of the saint) desire of the saint is something like online pornography, then the wrath of God will come as the Spirit to sweep the soul of that saint unto destruction (Isa. 14:21-24Isaiah 14:21-24 - Prepare a slaughterhouse for his children
   Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
So that they do not rise up and possess the land,
   And fill the surface of the world with cities. And I will rise up against them,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts.
And I will cut off from Babylon name and remnant,
   And posterity and progeny, declares Jehovah.
And I will make it a possession for porcupines
   And muddied pools of water,
And I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts. Jehovah of hosts has sworn, saying,
Surely just as I conceived it, so has it happened;
   And just as I have purposed it, so shall this stand,) in the territory of the heart where the idol was setup...the territory that lead the saint one to appreciate pornography. Therefore, in the case of certain forms of idolatry such as fornication, passion, and evil[in the eyes of a pagan society] desire, discipline from God can produce an eternal eunuch (Matt. 19:12Matthew 19:12 - For there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who can accept it, let him accept it.). The prayers of the saint (above) indicate that there exists a certain delight within the soul of this Christian. The saint builds regularly at this place in their soul. Then the saint destroys what they built in confession (Gal. 2:18). Jesus, forgive me for doing
"A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again. The saint despises their God-given portion of the good land (their God created soul), and they hate their Creator (Exo. 20:5; Deut. 5:9-10). This is what Jezebel (Roman Catholicism and her many daughters) produces in God's people. This is rebellion. The chastisement from Jehovah:
In the Old Testament, the nations (Canaanites, Jebusites, Amorites, Moabites, etc. See Exo. 23:23 and footnotes, Recovery Version) represent different aspects of our natural life. When a saint brings idolatry and fornication into the promised good land (their heart) Jehovah will cause the sword from the pagan tribes in the land to rise up against them to dispossess them from off of the land...to bring them into slavery or captivity. If there is no repentance and return to the good land (honoring their whole heart) whilst breath is still in the lungs of that saint and before their Master's return, the high places in their portion of the good land (soul) which kept the idols will get destruction from the Spirit (Isa. 14:23; Luke 15:8-10; Col. 3:5-6) in outer darkness. Effectively the saint will have gotten evicted or vomited out of their own heart in the ressurection. The commandments of God written upon the heart of this dear saint, with all of their heart's natural or soulish delights included therein, have become the very instrument of this saint's destruction due to their disobedience unto the Lord. The saint in this example naturally likes smoking cigarettes, but then they brought idolatry into their heart, and set up a pillar unto Baal at that grand vista, high place, or splendid vantage point of the soul. Other high places of the soul...common Asherah and Baal worship locations in the good land...are mentioned in Col. 3:5. The Baal is for the protection of some kind of appreciation (Asherah) that was taught to the saint (Gen. 2:17). "Feeling good" about "clean smoke free Christian living" when you smoke cigarettes is to eat idol sacrifiice at the feet of an Asherah. This will result in fornication, and Catholicism teaches (Rev. 2:20) this rebellious and leavened shit to Christians as if it were clean, straight, and standard issue church doctrine. As chastisement, Jehovah then allowed the saint's God created natural (the pagan nations in the good land) desire for cigarettes to rise up against the saint provoking bouts of apparent loss of self control. Many apparent "transgressions" (Heb. 3:13; 2 Thes. 2:10) against a "clean smoke free Christian living" false god burst forth. This uprising of the saint's own natural desires for cigarettes also provoked many trespass offerings unto Jehovah at the alter in the outer court...but offerings that were without the Holy Spirit (laver). The laboring priest must first wash in the laver before offering sacrifice at the alter. See excerpt from the Life Study of ExodusLife Study of Exodus page 1672 - THE RESULT OF SERVING IN THE TABERNACLE WITHOUT FIRST WASHING IN THE LAVER When we pray to offer something to the Lord, we first need to wash our hands and even our feet in the laver. To come to the meeting to function is actually to come into the tabernacle to serve the Lord. Before we serve the Lord in the tabernacle, we need to wash. However, in the Christian life of many believers and in their service to God there does not seem to be a laver. When they come to the alter to make an offering to God, they have unclean hands. They may come into the church meetings and serve without washing their hands in the laver. This kind of service brings in death. This is the reason Exodus 30:21 says "Then they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die." We should be careful not to touch God's service unless we have first washed our hands in the laver. If we try to serve God in the tabernacle with unclean hands, we shall die, spiritually speaking. How much death there is among Christians today! The more they serve, the more death they have because they serve with unclean hands. Praying and serving with unclean hands brings in death. If we do not pray in the meetings or function, in a sense we may be somewhat living. But if we pray or function without washing in the laver, we shall bring death to ourselves and also spread death to others. Death is the result of our trying to pray or serve without washing in the laver. for more fellowship on the laver in Christian experience. In the example here (cigarettes), the Holy Spirit has not convicted a single soul, and the Holy Spirit has had nothing to do with any trespass offering unto the Lord. It is a "clean smoke free Christian living" dumb idol that is somehow lodging complaints. But idols don't speak (Psa. 38:13; Hab. 2:18; 1 Cor. 12:2). It is solely the uncircumcised heart of the dear fornicating saint making the accusations. There is no god, so there is actually no "physical" trespass. The "sin" here is an illusion, but sacrifice for forgiveness (this is called a trespass offering) at the alter unto Jehovah without the laver (Holy Spirit) is a sin unto death (Exo. 30:18-21). ; Gen. 49:1, 25-28Genesis 49:1, 25-28 - 1 And Jacob called to his sons and said, Gather yourselves together that I may tell you what will happen to you in the last days. 25 From the God of your father, who will help you,
   And from the All-sufficient One, who will bless you
With blessings of heaven above,
   Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
   Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
The blessings of your father surpass
   The blessings of my ancestors
   To the utmost bound of the everlasting hills.
They will be on the head of Joseph,
   And on the crown of the head of the one who was separate from
      his brothers.
Benjamin is a 1ravenous wolf,
   In the morning devouring the prey
   And in the evening dividing the spoil.
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them when he blessed them; he blessed them, each one according to his blessing. Footnote: 49:271 Lit., tearing. As a tearing wolf, Benjamin is a type of Christ, who destroys the enemy by tearing him to pieces (Eph. 4:8; 2 Cor. 10:5). - w. lee. ; Deut. 33:1-4, 12, 29Deuteronomy 33:1-4, 12, 29 - 1 And this is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God,
blessed the children of Israel before his death.
And he said,
Jehovah came from Sinai,
   And He dawned upon them from Seir;
He shined forth from Mount Paran,
   And He approached from the myriads of holy ones;
   From His right hand a fiery law went out to them.
Indeed, He loves the people.
   All His saints were in Your hand,
And they sat down at Your feet;
   Everyone receives of Your words.
Moses commanded us a law,
   A possession of the congregation of Jacob.
12 Concerning Benjamin he said,
The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell securely beside Him;
   Jehovah shall cover over him all the day,
   And He shall dwell between his shoulders.
29 Happy are you, O Israel; who is like you?
   A people saved by Jehovah,
The shield of your help
   And He who is the sword of your majesty!
So your enemies shall come cringing to you,
   And you shall tread upon their high places.; Isa. 16:1-5Isaiah 16:1-5 - Send a lamb of tribute
   To the ruler of the land,
From Sela across the wilderness
   To the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
Like wandering birds,
   Like a scattered nest,
Will the daughters of Moab be
   At the fords of the Arnon.
Give us counsel,
   Make a judgement concerning us.
Make your shadow at high noon
   Like night to us.
Hide the outcasts;
   Do not expose him who wanders.
Let the outcasts of Moab
   Dwell with you;
Be a hiding place to them
   From the destroyer.
When the extortioner finishes
   And destruction ends,
   When the oppressor is completely gone from the land,
Then will a throne be established in lovingkindness,
   And upon it One will sit in truth
   In the tent of David,
Judging and pursuing justice
   And hastening righteousness.; Dan. 9:17-27Daniel 9:17-27 - And now hear, O our God, the prayer of Your servant and his supplications, and cause Your face to shine upon Your sanctuary that has been desolated, for the Lord's sake. O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city that is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You based upon any righteous doings that we have done, but based upon Your great compassion. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! Do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God; for Your city and Your people are called by Your own name. And while I was still speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God, Even while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, reached me in my utter exhaustion about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me and talked with me and said, Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications the command went forth, and I have come to tell you, for you are preciousness itself. Therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are apportioned for your people and for your holy city, to close the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make propitiation for iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Holy of Holies. Know therefore and comprehend: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the time of Messiah the Prince will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with street and trench, even in distressful times. And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing; and the people of the prince who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end of it will be a flood, and even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week; and in the middle of the week he will 1cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease and will replace the sacrifice and the oblation with abominations of the desolator, even until the complete destruction that has been determined is poured out upon the desolator. Footnote: 9:271 The fulfillment of the prophecies concerning both the ceasing of the sacrifice and the bringing in of the abominations of the desolator have transpired within the temple (John 2:19-21) or soul of a christian brother, the messenger to the church in Philadelphia, between Q4 2011 and 2023. For more on the messenger to the church in Philadelphia, see Rev. 3:7, note 1Revelation 3:7-13 - And to the 1messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says 2the Holy One, the true One, the One who has the key of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:
I know your 3works; behold, I have put before you an 4opened door which no one can shut, because you have a 5little power and have 6kept My word and have 7not denied My name. Behold, I will make 8those of the synagogue of Satan, those who call themselves Jews and are not, but lie––behold, I will cause them to come and fall prostrate before your feet and to know that I have loved you. 9Because you have kept the 10word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the 11hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth. 12I come quickly; 13hold fast what you have that no one take your crown. 14He who overcomes, him I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore, and I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Footnote: Note 1 The messenger of the church in Philadelphia to whom the Lord is speaking in this portion of John's Revelation is a Christian brother, prophet of Jehovah, and slave of our Lord Jesus Christ from Atlanta, Georgia, USA who is currently residing in the metro-atlanta area. The 43 years old Jonathan Paul Harris (a.k.a. '5', 'J5', or 'jony5', pronounced as "Johnny Five") is serving the Lord before both God and man at the end of this age to faithfully and openly bear this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom before the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14Matthew 24:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.). Saints, when God our heavenly Father sees fruit from this gospel preaching being borne in the hearts of men throughout all the nations (i.e. the hearts of the unregenerate or non-Christian have received this testimony), then the end (of the world or age) will come.
Through a door opened by the Lord (Rev. 3:8Revelation 3:8 - I know your works; behold, I have put before you an opened door which no one can shut, because you have a little power and have kept My word and have not denied My name.) in Q4 of 2011 and continuing until today, this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom is being borne by the messenger of the church in Philadelphia before all of God's people on the earth. When this word bears fruit in the hearts of the dear saints, the "40 years" (full measure of trials, tests, and sufferings, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 32:13Numbers 32:13 - And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation which had done evil in the sight of Jehovah was consumed.; Josh. 5:6Joshua 5:6 - For the children of Israel went for forty years through the wilderness until all the nation, the men of war who had come out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not listen to the voice of Jehovah, they to whom Jehovah swore that they would not see the land that Jehovah has sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.; Psa. 95:10-11Psalms 95:10-11 - For forty years I loathed that generation,
   And I said, They are a people who go astray in heart;
   And they do not know My ways;
Therefore I swore in My anger:
   They shall by no means enter into My rest!; Num. 14:35Numbers 14:35 - I, Jehovah, have spoken; surely I will do this to all this evil assembly who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.; Matt. 4:1-2Matthew 4:1-2 - Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He became hungry.) of God's people wandering in the wilderness where their corpses were being strewn along (Num. 14:29-30Numbers 14:29-30 - Your corpses shall fall in this wilderness, and none of you who were numbered, according to the number you counted from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, Shall come into the land, in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son Nun.; 1 Cor. 10:51 Corinthians 10:23 - But with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn along in the wilderness.) on account of their unbelief in God's word (Heb. 3:9-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.) will be over.
In fact and in practicality, this places the typological fulfillment of the Jordan River crossing of God's people (Num. 33:50-54Numbers 33:50-56 - Then Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and you shall destroy all their figured stones and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places; And you shall take possession of the land and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it. And you shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain of them will become as splinters in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you are dwelling. And just as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you.) as having started in Q2 of 2019 with the re-speaking (the deuteronomy) of the gospel on jony5.com where Christians were reminded of their blood-sealed and eternally binding covenant with Jehovah to keep the commandments of the Lord which are written upon their very heart of flesh (Ezek. 11:17-25Ezekiel 11:17-25 - Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. And they will come there and take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from it. And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, That they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them; and they will be My people, and I will be their God. But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their ways upon their heads, declares the Lord Jehovah. Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were next to them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain which is east of the city. And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to Chaldea, to the captives, in a vision by the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen went up from me. Then I told the captives all the things that Jehovah had shown me.; Jer. 31:33-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). And yet, many of God's people, lacking repentance (Rev. 2:21-22Revelation 2:21-22 - And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works;) and even rejecting this very revelation, will be measured by the Lord in that day, will be found by the Lord to be wanting, and will have thus fallen in the wilderness (Heb. 4:11Hebrews 4:11 - Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.) due to their unbelief in
God's word.
A new generation of God's people (even the children of those who are stumbling at the stone of stumbling, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 1 Pet. 2:7-81 Peter 2:7-8 - To you therefore who believe is the preciousness; but to the unbelieving, "The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner," And, "A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense"; who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.; Rom. 9:31-33Romans 9:31-33 - But Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not attain to that law. Why? Because they pursued it not out of faith, but as it were out of works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling, As it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense, and he who believes on Him shall not be put to shame."; 1 Cor. 1:23-251 Corinthians 1:22-25 - For indeed Jews require signs and Greeks seek wisdom, But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, But to those who 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.) will be the generation to enter into and to possess the good land, their own heart, with all boldness (Heb. 10:35Hebrews 10:35 - Do not cast away therefore your boldness, which has great reward.) according to all the promises of God. Saints, we are the "stone become bread" people...the "water become wine" peop...no...we are the "water become whiskey" people! We are the "stone become steamed 10 lb. lobster" people! We are the "stone become factory fresh Bugatti Chiron PUR Sport" people (John 14:12-14John 14:12-14 - Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! God our Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies to the praise of the glory of His grace (Eph. 1:3-14Ephesians 1:3-14 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.). This is our hope of glory laid up in the heavens (Col. 1:5Colossians 1:5 - Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,; 1:27Colossians 1:27 - To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,; 1 Pet. 1:3-51 Peter 1:3-5 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time.; 1:131 Peter 1:13 - Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.; Tit. 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb. 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; Heb. 10:23Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;). Jesus, our real Joshua (Heb. 4:8-16Hebrews 4:8-16 - For if Joshua had brought them into rest, He would not have spoken concerning another day after these things. So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His own. Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature that is not maifest before Him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we are to give our account. Having therefore a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin. Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may recieve mercy and find grace for timely help.), is now leading us to enter and to take the land, our heart...our eternal inheritance. A saint's good pleasure (Rom. 12:2Romans 12:2 - And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.; Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) to smoke a cigarette is the will of God or God's very commandment made known to them, as a faithful slave of God and laboring priest in the temple (John 2:21John 2:21 - But He spoke of the temple of His body.; Matt. 12:5Matthew 12:5 - Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?). Since they are a Christian and are thus enslaved to God (Rom. 6:22Romans 6:22 - But now, having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.), in order to faithfully satisfy the blood sealed and eternally effective (Heb. 9:14Hebrews 9:14 - How much more will the blood Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?) contract of their enslavement to righteousness (Rom. 6:18-19Romans 6:18-19 - And having been freed from sin, you were enslaved to righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.), they have no choice but to obey (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.; John 14:15, 20-21John 14:15, 20-21 - 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.) the will of God made known to them through their recognition of what is pleasurable or most delightful to their soul (2 Cor. 3:32 Corinthians 3:3 - Since you are being manifested that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone but in tablets of hearts of flesh.; Heb. 8:10Hebrews 8:10 - For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will impart My laws into their mind, and on their hearts I will inscribe them; and I will be God to them, and they will be a people to Me.; Jer. 31:31-34Jeremiah 31:31-34 - Indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.) which at this very moment and in this demonstration of a hope or of a spiritual blessing kept in the heavenlies (Eph. 1:3Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 8:16-17, 24-25Romans 8:16-17, 24-25 - 16 The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. And if children, heirs also; on the one hand, heirs of God; on the other, joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified with Him. 24 For we were saved in hope. But a hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it through endurance.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 2 Cor. 3:122 Corinthians 3:12 - Therefore since we have such hope, we use much boldness,; Gal. 5:5-6Galatians 5:5-6 - For we by the Spirit out of faith eagerly await the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith avails, operating
through love.; Eph. 1:9-14, 18-23Ephesians 1:9-14, 18-23 - 9 Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory. 18 The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength, Which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, Far above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come; And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.; Col. 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27Colossians 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27 - 5 Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, Which has come to you, even as it is also in all the world, bearing fruit and growing, as also in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God
in truth; 21 And you, though once alienated and enemies in your mind because of your evil works, He now has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and without reproach before Him; If indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a minister. 26 The mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations but now has been manifested to His saints; To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope
of glory,; 1 Thes. 1:2-31 Thessalonians 1:2-3 - We thank God always concerning all of you, making mention of you in our prayers, Remembering unceasingly your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;; 5:7-111 Thessalonians 5:7-11 - For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk are drunk during the night; But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us in order that whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with Him. Therefore comfort one another, and build up each one the other, even as you also do.; 2 Thes. 2:16-172 Thessalonians 2:16-17 - Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope in grace, Comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.; 1 Tim. 1:11 Timothy 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,; 6:171 Timothy 6:17 - Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;; Titus 1:1-3Titus 1:1-3 - Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's chosen ones and the full knowledge of the truth, which is according to godliness, In the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the times of the ages But in its own times manifested His word in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the command of our Savior God;; 2:11-15Titus 2:11-15 - For the grace of God, bringing salvation to all men, has appeared, Training us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age, Awaiting the blessed hope, even the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify to Himself a particular people as His unique possession, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort and convict with all authority. Let no one despise you.; 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; 6:17-20Hebrews 6:17-20 - Therefore God, intending to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His counsel, interposed with an oath, In order that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us, Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm and which enters within the veil, Where the Forerunner, Jesus, has entered for us, having become forever a High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.; 7:17-19Hebrews 7:17-19 - For it is testified, "You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." For there is, on the one hand, the setting aside of the preceding commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness (For the law perfected nothing), and, on the other hand, the bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as He was not made a Priest without the taking of an oath (For they are appointed priests without the taking of an oath, but He, with the taking of an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not regret it, You are a Priest forever"), By so much Jesus has also become the surety of a better covenant.; 10:21-23Hebrews 10:21-23 - And having a great Priest over the house of God, Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;; 11:1Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.; 1 Pet. 1:3-9, 13, 211 Peter 1:3-9, 13, 21 - 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time; In which time you exult, though for a little while at present, if it must be, you have been made sorrowful by various trials, So that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; Whom having not seen, you love; into whom though not seeing Him at present, yet believing, you exult with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of
your souls. 13 Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 21 Who through Him believe into God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.; 3:5-7, 14-221 Peter 3:5-7, 14-22 - 5 For in this manner formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands, As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children you have become, if you do good and do not fear any terror. Husbands, in like manner dwell together with them according to knowledge, as with the weaker, female vessel, assigning honor to them as also to fellow heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 14 But even if you suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not be afraid with fear from them, nor be troubled, But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you, Yet with meekness and fear, having a good conscience, so that in the manner in which you are spoken against, those who revile your good manner of life in Christ may be put
to shame. For it is better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also has suffered once for sins, the Righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, on the one hand being put to death in the flesh, but on the other, made alive in the Spirit; In which also He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, Who had formerly disobeyed when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared; entering into which, a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through
by water. Which water, as the antitype, also now saves you, that is, baptism, not a putting away of the filth of the flesh but the appeal of a good conscience unto God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to Him.; 1 John 3:1-101 John 3:1-10 - Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. Because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is. And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, even as He is pure. Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness also, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested that He might take away sins; and sin is not in Him. Everyone who abides in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him. Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who practices righteousness is righteous, even as He
is righteous; He who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Everyone who has been begotten of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten
of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest. Everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, neither he who does not love his brother.), kept in Christ for this particular saint...is lighting up a cigarette. For it is God who operates in that saint (1) to make His will manifest to them and (2) to affect the working out of His will in their life. This shit is always in alignment with the good pleasure (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) of one's soul; how can one fail under such a light burden? A saint always does what they want to do, and this is their "law." Our heavenly Master's burden is easy, and His yoke is light (Matt. 11:28-30Matthew 11:28-30 - Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.). If a saint has routine "failures," in daily life––. Saints, our vessel (Matt. 25:4, lit. soulMatthew 25:4 - But the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.) holds our person with its' God created natural delights (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) or what one may even call soulish pleasures, and our vessel also holds God the Father in Christ the Son as the Spirit with all of Their (Gen. 1:26Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.) delight and good pleasure (Eph. 1:9Ephesians 1:9 - Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself,). This makes the soul of the saint to be a container or vessel for a proper and tasty tea blend of the person of that saint and that of their Creator, God the Almighty, whom the saint formally addresses in their heart as Jesus Christ, the man. There is no need for formality, however. One can live by the feeling of the Lord in their soul and never mention or even consider His
name...His person. As the saint considers their feelings here and there throughout the day, they are kinda just sipping on this tea. If something tastes good to them, they will consider going that way; God's will is there. If it tastes bad, they turn away; the will of God for the path they walk in life is in this, too. Just believe it. Many times considerations result in or are unto enjoyment or pleasure for body and/or soul. Again, if you feel good about it ––,...and if you feel bad ––. The faithful slave sanctifies Christ Jesus as Lord in their heart (Jer. 24:7Jeremiah 24:7 - And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am Jehovah; and they will be My people, and I will be their God; for they will return to Me with their whole heart.; 1 Pet. 3:151 Peter 3:15 - But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you,), and then they honor God's commandments (Lev. 26:3-13Leviticus 26:3-13 - If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, Then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit. Indeed your threshing will overtake the vintage, and the vintage will overtake the sowing time. Thus you will eat your bread unto satisfaction and dwell securely in your land. And I will give you peace in the land, so that you will lie down and no one will make you afraid; and I will cause wild beasts to cease out of your land, and no sword will pass through your land. And you will chase your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. And five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; and your enemies will fall by the sword before you. And I will turn My face toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you. And you will eat the old supply long stored and will have to clear out the old because of the new. And I will set My tabernacle among you; and My soul will not abhor you. And I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright.; Deut. 4:1-2, 39-40Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 39-40 - 1 And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the ordinances which I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, is giving you. You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you. 39 Know therefore today and bring it to heart that Jehovah is God in heaven above and upon the earth below; there is no other. Therefore keep His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, so that you may extend your days upon the land which Jehovah your God is giving you forever.; 5:10, 29Deuteronomy 5:10, 29 - 10 Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 29 Oh that this heart of theirs would be in them always to fear Me and keep all My commandments so that it may go well with them and with their children forever!; 6:1-6, 16-25Deuteronomy 6:1-6, 16-25 - 1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God has commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land into which you are crossing over to possess; That you may fear Jehovah your God and keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life; and that your days may be extended. Therefore hear, O Israel, and be certain to do it, that it may go well with you and that you may be greatly increased, in a land flowing with milk and honey, even as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, promised you. Hear, O Israel, Jehovah is our God; Jehovah is one. And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I command you today, shall be upon your heart; 16 You shall not test Jehovah your God, as you tested Him at Massah. You shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and His testimonies and His statutes, which He has commanded you. And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah so that it may go well with you and you may enter and possess the good land, concerning which Jehovah swore to your fathers To drive out all your enemies from before you, as Jehovah has spoken. When your son asks you in the future, saying, What is the significance of the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Jehovah our God commanded you? Then you will say to your son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And Jehovah put forth before our eyes great and grievous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his house. Then He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, that He might give us the land which He swore to our fathers. And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes so that we would fear Jehovah our God for our good always and He would preserve us alive, as we are this day. And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 6:25Deuteronomy 6:25 - And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 7:9-26Deuteronomy 7:9-26 - Know therefore that it is Jehovah your God who is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and lovingkindness to the thousandth generation with those who love him and keep His commandments, But repays directly those who hate Him by destroying them. He will not be slow toward him who hates Him; He will repay him directly. Therefore you shall keep the commandment, and the statutes and the ordinances, which I am commanding you today to do. And it will be that because you listen to these ordinances, and keep them and do them, Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock, on the land which He swore to your fathers to give you. You will be more blessed than all other peoples; there will not be any barren male or female among you or among your animals. And Jehovah will remove every sickness from you, and none of the evil illnesses of Egypt, which you know about, will He put upon you; but He will give them to all who hate you. And you shall devour all the peoples which Jehovah your God is giving you; your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you. If you say in your heart, These nations are greater than I, how will I be able to dispossess them? You shall not be afraid of them; you must remember what Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt, The great trials that your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders, and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm with which Jehovah your God brought you out; so will Jehovah your God do to all the peoples whom you are afraid of. Furthermore, Jehovah your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and those who hide themselves from you are destroyed. You shall not be terrified of them, for Jehovah your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. And Jehovah your God will clear away these nations from before you little by little; you shall not devour all of them immediately, lest the beasts of the field multiply against you. But Jehovah your God will deliver them up before you and rout them utterly until they
are destroyed. And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under heaven; no man will be able to stand against you until you destroy them. The idols of their gods you shall burn with fire; you shall not desire the silver or gold upon them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God. And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, lest you become a cursed thing like it; you shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.; 8:1-10Deuteronomy 8:1-10 - The whole commandment which I am commanding you today, you shall keep and do, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers. And you shall remember all the way that Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness in order to humble you and test you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. And He humbled you and let you go hungry and fed you the manna, which you had never known nor your fathers had ever known, so that He might make you know that man lives not by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out from the mouth of Jehovah. Your clothing did not wear out from upon you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Jehovah your God was disciplining you; Therefore keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him. For Jehovah your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of waterbrooks, of springs and of fountains, flowing forth in valleys and in mountians; A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees with oil and of honey; A land in which you will eat bread without scarcity; you will not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and from whose mountains you can mine copper. And you shall eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless Jehovah your God for the good land which He has given you.; 11:1, 8-15, 22-28Deuteronomy 11:1, 8-15, 22-28 - 1 Therefore you shall love Jehovah your God and keep His charge and His statutes and His ordinances and His
commandments always. 8 Therefore you shall keep the whole commandment which I am commanding you today so that you may be strong and that you may go in and possess the land into which you are crossing over to possess, And so that you may extend your days upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. For the land which you are entering in to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you came forth, where you used to sow your seed and water by foot as in a vegetable garden. But the land into which you are crossing over to possess is a land of mountains and valleys; by virtue of heaven's rain, it drinks in water. It is a land which Jehovah your God cares for; always the eyes of Jehovah your God are upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. And if you are certain to listen to my commandments, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil. And I will put grass in your field for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. 22 For if you are certain to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him, Jehovah will dispossess all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads will be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the farmost sea will be your territory. No man will be able to stand against you; Jehovah your God will put the dread and fear of you upon all the land on which you tread, as He has spoken to you. See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: The blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today; And the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God and you turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after other gods whom you have not known.; 26:16-19Deuteronomy 26:16-19 - This day Jehovah your God is commanding you to do these statutes and ordinances; therefore you shall keep them and do them with all your heart and with all your soul. It is Jehovah whom you have today declared to be your God and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes and His commandments and His ordinances, and will listen to His voice. And it is Jehovah who has today declared you to be a people for His personal treasure, even as He promised you; and that you will keep all His commandments; And that He will set you high above all the nations which He has made, for praise and for a name and for honor; and that you will be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as He has spoken.; 28:1-14Deuteronomy 28:1-14 - And if you listen diligently to the voice of Jehovah your God and are certain to do all His commandments, which I am commanding you today, Jehovah your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth; And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you listen to the voice of Jehovah your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your animals, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. Jehovah will cause your enemies, who rise up against you, to be struck down before you; on one road they will come out against you, but on seven roads they will flee before you. Jehovah will command the blessing upon you in your storehouses and in all your undertakings; and He will bless you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you. Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in His ways. And all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by Jehovah's name, and they will be afraid of you. And Jehovah will give you an excess of prosperity in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your animals and in the fruit of your ground, upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you. Jehovah will open up to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give rain for your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings. And you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. And Jehovah will make you the head and not the tail, and you will tend only upward, and you will not tend downward, if you will listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today to keep and to do. And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.; 30:11-20Deuteronomy 30:11-20 - For this commandment which I am commanding you today, it is not too difficult for you, nor is it distant. It is not in heaven that you should say, Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? Nor is it across the sea that you should say, Who will go across the sea for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? But the word is very near to you, even in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have put before you today life and good, and death and evil. If you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and walk in His ways and keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you will live and multiply, and Jehovah your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns and you do not listen, but rather you are drawn away in worship to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish; your days will not be extended upon the land into which you are crossing over the Jordan to go and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life that you and your seed may live, In loving Jehovah your God by listening to His voice and holding fast to Him; for He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell upon the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Issac, and to Jacob, to give them.; Exo. 15:26Exodus 15:26 - And He said, If you will listen carefully to the voice of Jehovah your God and do what is right in His eyes and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who heals you.; 1 Kings 8:54-661 Kings 8:54-66 - And when Solomon has finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he rose up from before the alter of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward the heavens. And he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. Not one word of all His good promises which He spoke through Moses His servant has failed. May Jehovah our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; let Him not forsake us nor abandon us, That He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers. And let these words of mine, with which I made supplication to Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night to maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel as each day requires; That all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God; there is none else. Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments as on this day. And the king and all Israel with Him offered sacrifices before Jehovah. And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. Thus the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah. On that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings because the bronze alter which was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings. And Solomon held a feast at that time and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven more days, fourteen days in all. On the eight day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king and went to their tents joyful and happy in heart for all the goodness which Jehovah had shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.; Neh. 1:1-11Nehemiah 1:1-11 - The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa the capital, Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and some men from Judah; and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who were left from the captivity, and about Jerusalem. And they said to me, The remnant who are left from the captivity there in the province are in an exceedingly bad state and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates have been burned with fire. And when I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and I mourned for some days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, And I said, I beseech You, O Jehovah the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep His commandments: Let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now day and night, concerning the children of Israel, Your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel that we have sinned against You. Indeed, I and the house of my father have sinned; We have been most corrupt toward You and have not kept the commandments and the statutes and the ordinances that You commanded Moses Your servant. Remember now the word that You commanded Moses Your servant, saying, If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; But if you return to Me and keep My commandments and perform them, though your outcasts are under the ends of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell. Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand. I beseech You, O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayer of Your servants, who take delight in fearing Your name; and cause Your servant to prosper today, and grant him to find compassion before this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.) which are written upon the very same (Jer. 31:31-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - Indeed days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). This is what Jehovah says is to "love the Lord your God" (Dan. 9:4Daniel 9:4 - And I prayed to Jehovah my God and confessed; and I said, Ah, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep
His commandments,; Gen. 26:4-5Genesis 26:4-5 - And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and will give to your seed all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, Because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.; Exo. 20:6Exodus 20:6 - Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.). Can anyone guess what hatred of God looks like to Jehovah? Next question...who throws away their child's best porno mag? As a Christian, as a slave of God, there is a blood sealed contractual obligation for one to honor their God created God given natural desires according to the terms of peace (Luke 14:31-32Luke 14:31-32 - Or what king, going to engage another king in war, will not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? Otherwise, while he is yet at a distance, he sends an envoy and asks for the terms of peace.), and there should also be a desire to "NOT be put to shame" before their Master in heaven above (Phil. 1:20Philippians 1:20 - According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.) and before so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us (Heb. 12:1Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, put away every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and run with endurance the race which is set before us,). Being a proper slave of God will definitely make a Christian to be salty to God (Matt. 5:13Matthew 5:13 - You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has become tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything except to be cast out and trampled underfoot by men.; Mark 9:50Mark 9:50 - Salt is good, but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you restore its saltiness? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another.; Luke 14:34-35Luke 14:34-35 - Therefore salt is good; but if even the salt becomes tasteless, with what will its saltiness be restored? It is fit neither for the land nor for the manure pile; they will throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.)...lots of flavor! In complete ignorance and with no instructions save the teaching of the Anointing, I applied this truth perfectly as a young single college brother in 2003 (now Jan. 23, 2023). After 20 years of living in this truth...people, at a glance, think that I am a criminal (or a rapper). Christian living during the apostolic period of church history (A.D. 33–100) left many saints dead or imprisoned as criminals. So, I think I can say I am living (and am here teaching) the perfect carbon copy of a pure and apostolically sourced Christian living,...with exceptions being on account of maybe the internet existing and the popularity of human rights...oh yeah, and we have penicillin. Hey, don't knock it; penicillin is the next best thing to having a son of God with leaves in your midst (Rev. 22:2Revelation 22:2 - And on this side and on that side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations.). This is the truth of the Gospel which the saints guarded as a secret in the midst of those most violent and pagan days (Matt. 10:16-33Matthew 10:16-33 - Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore prudent as serpents and guileless as doves. And beware of men, for they will deliver you up to sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. And you will also be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you should speak, for it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; For you are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is the One speaking in you. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death. And you will be hated by all because of My name. But he who has endured to the end, this one shall be saved. And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another. For truly I say to you, You shall by no means finish the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is sufficient for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of
His household! Therefore do not fear them; for there is nothing covered which will not be revealed, and hidden which will not be made known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And not one of them will fall to the earth apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. Everyone therefore who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father who is in the heavens; But whoever will deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father who is in the heavens.); this is the narrow Way that leads to life (Matt. 7:13-14Matthew 7:13-14 - Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it.). This good pleasure of soul can and must be honored (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.). If the heart of God should "feel differently" on any matter, in Him is the Yes, through Him is the Amen to God (2 Cor. 1:20-222 Corinthians 1:20-22 - For as many promises of God as there are, in Him is the Yes; therefore also through Him is the Amen to God, for glory through us to God. But the One who firmly attaches us with you unto Christ and has anointed us is God, He who has also sealed us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.). The slave's response, as being obedient, is always "Amen" or "yes" to their Lord. And this is especially true when their heavenly Master says "no." "Amen, my Lord." The Lord saying "no" always (read this as...always check 2 out of the 3) turns out to be so easy, precious, and completely unpredictable. As a faithful slave of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can testify that usually, I just get to do what I want to do day to day. And to secretly suffer loss of enjoyment at your Masters beckoning and for your Master's sake–– ...well, our Lord suffered loss as He faithfully walked in obedience to the Father, so the company is good if one is hanging around in that place. We will follow our Master spontaneously as we consider one another in love under the light of the truth of the Gospel. When at the moment of choice, it is clearly realized by any faithful slave...uplifting sacrifice (loss) before the eyes of the saints with all the talk of sacrifice and teaching of sacrifice is useless. Teaching sacrifice (loss) does nothing but tempt the saints to deny (Matt. 26:33-35, 69-75Matthew 26:33-35, 69-75 - 33 Then Peter answered and said to Him, If all will be stumbled because of You, I will never be stumbled. Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that in this night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. Peter said to Him, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You. And all the disciples said likewise. 69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, You also were with Jesus the Galilean. But he denied it before all, saying, I do not know what you are talking about! And after he had gone out to the porch, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man! And after a little while those who were standing there came to Peter and said, Surely you also are one of them, for your speech also makes it clear that you are. Then he began to curse and to swear: I do not know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus has said, Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.; Mark 14:27-31, 66-72Mark 14:27-31, 66-72 - 27 And Jesus said to them, You will all be stumbled, because it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." But after I have been raised, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said to Him, Even if all will be stumbled, yet I will not! And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that today in this night, before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. But he went on speaking more intensely, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You! And they all said similarly. 66 And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, And seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus. But he denied it, saying, I neither know nor understand what you are talking about. And he went outside into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed. And the servant girl, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by, This man is one of them! But again he denied it. And after a little while, those standing by again said to Peter, Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean as well. But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak! And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus had said to him, Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And thinking upon it, he wept.; Luke 22:33-34, 54-62Luke 22:33-34, 54-62 - 33 And he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death. But He said, I tell you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me. 54 And having arrested Him, they led Him away, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. But Peter followed at a distance. And when they had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. And a certain servant girl, seeing him seated in the light of the fire, looked intently at him and said, This man was with Him too. But he denied it, saying, I do not know Him, woman. And after a short time, another person, seeing him, said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not! And after about one hour had passed, another one insisted, saying, Surely this man was also with Him, for he is also a Galilean. But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And instantly, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly.; John 13:37-38; 18:14-27John 13:37-38; 18:14-27 - 13:37 Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times. 18:14 Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, as well as another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest; But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door and brought Peter in. Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not. Now the slaves and the attendants were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The high priest then questioned Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and I spoke nothing in secret. Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard Me, concerning what I spoke to them; behold, these know what I said. And when He said these things, one of the attendants standing by slapped Jesus, saying, Is that how You answer the high priest? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken wrongly, testify concerning the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me? Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you not also one of His disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the slaves of the high priest, who was a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with Him? Then Peter denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed.) the Lord. What can the saints even do? They can only lose enjoyment when their Master says to them "no". What does teaching sacrifice (loss) accomplish? Rebellion. Honoring all revelation and practicality, the dominant force of understanding for the Christian notion of sacrifice should strongly align with feasting and enjoyment. Overemphasizing sacrifice (loss) to the saints tempts the slaves of the Lord to start playing the role of master (Phil. 2:5-8Philippians 2:5-8 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) with themselves whilst randomly selecting some God created, God honored, and basically God mandated pleasure of the soul to be denyed to themselves after having sent themselves on an unguided, soul, searching, strain-out-the-gnat tour of duty passing through all of the high places in the good land (their soul) for any frigg'n stick or stone pillar that can be earnestly bowed down to for a sugar pill demonstration to themselves of their devotion to God through suffering borne out of zeal (Rom. 10:2-3Romans 10:2-3 - For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full knowledge; For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness and sought to establish their own righteousness, they were not subject to the righteousness of God.; Gal. 1:14Galatians 1:14 - And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being more abundantly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.) but absent of revelation. With a swiftness, there should be zeal exercised unto repentance (Rev. 3:19Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore
and repent.) in all of these situations amongst the people of the Lord. When a slave of the Lord follows and honors their enjoyment of smoking a cigarette in their soul moment by moment and day by day, they are walking by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25Galatians 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25 - 16 But I say, Walk by the Spirit and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.). As laboring priest in the temple of their own body (John 2:20-21John 2:20-21 - Then the Jews said, This temple was built in forty-six years, and You will raise it up in three days? But He spoke of the temple of His body.), they do the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:581 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.; Matt. 10:10bMatthew 10:10b - For the worker is worthy of his food.; John 14:10John 14:10 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.; Rom 2:6-7Romans 2:6-7 - Who will render to each according to his works: To those who by endurance in good work seek glory and honor and incorruptibility, life eternal;), and they light up that cigarette...being faithful and obedient even unto death...and that the death of a cigarette. Our Lord, also, was a faithful and obedient slave (Phil. 2:8Philippians 2:8 - And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) of God. Disobeying God's commandments (i.e. dishonoring but especially denying (John 13:37-38John 13:37-38 - Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times.) one's own natural desires of the soul) can provoke the chastening of the Lord. Chastisement has various severities and, absent repentance, all can lead to discipline by fire and brimstone in outer darkness. What a saint under the chastening of the Lord can look like:
For example and brevity: "A-B-C-X-Y-Z." = I <3 smoking cigarettes!

Daily Prayers:
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z."
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" for the last time.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z"...last time...really.
The rebellion of the saint:
As a created being, the soul's naturally inclined sentiments of appreciation are a significant factor in a saint's realization of the will God for them. Indeed, all of the hopes of that saint in Christ will align with these their naturally created God given delights as part of the expected fulfillment of all of the promises of God. If the saint can faithfully keep God's commandments to them, which commandments are written upon their very heart, they will receive all of their hopes (Eph. 1:3-12Ephesians 1:3-12 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ.; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 1 Cor. 9:8-11, 131 Corinthians 9:8-11, 13 - 8 Am I speaking these things according to man? Or does the law not also say these things? For in the law of Moses it is written: "You shall not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain." Is it for oxen that God cares? Or does He say it altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written because the plowman should plow in hope, and he who threshes, in hope of partaking. If we have sown to you the spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap from you the fleshly things? 13 Do you not know that those who labor on the sacred things eat the things of the sacred temple, that those who attend to the alter have their portion with the alter?) or promised blessings. Today I purchase cigarettes, tomorrow, "stone become cigarette" (John 14:10-14John 14:10-14 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! Following blind guides under the influence of the teachings of Satan (1 Tim. 4:1-51 Timothy 4:1-5 - But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons By means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, of men who are branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron, Who forbid marriage and command abstaining from foods, which God has created to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if received with thanksgiving; For it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.; Rev. 2:12-17Revelation 2:12-17 - And to the messenger of the church in Pergamos write: These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name and have not denied My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, that you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol sacrifices and to
commit fornication. In the same way you also have some who hold in like manner the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Repent therefore; but if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of My mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and to him I will give a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.; 2:18-23Revelation 2:18-23 - And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like shining bronze: I know your works and love and faith and service and your endurance and that your last works are more than the first. But I have something against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and leads My slaves astray to commit fornication and to eat idol sacrifices. And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works; And her children I will kill with death; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the inward parts and the hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to
your works.), the saint is taught to appreciate "clean smoke free Christian living", and the saint enjoys eating sacrifice at the feet of this Asherah idol with other Christians of similar ilk. Now when this saint desires to smoke a cigarette according to their God created natural desires, the "clean living" Asherah idol with all of that saint's appreciation from enjoyment at sacrifice are insulted. The saint has sinned in the face of their Asherah idol and the deceitfulness (2 Thes. 2:8-122 Thessalonians 2:8-12 - And then the lawless one will be revealed (whom the Lord Jesus will slay by the breath of His mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of His coming), The coming of whom is according to Satan's operation in all power and signs and wonders of a lie And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might
be saved. And because of this God sends to them an operation of error that they might believe the lie, So that all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness might be judged.; Heb. 3:7-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.; John 8:1-11John 8:1-11 - But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst, They said to Him, Teacher, this woman has been caught committing adultery, in the very act. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say? But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and 1wrote with His finger on the ground. But when they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. And when they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the older ones. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman stood where she was, in the midst. And Jesus stood up and said to her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more. Footnote: 8:61 While the Holy Spirit sealed (or kept as a secret) the word of the Lord written in the dirt upon the ground here before the adulterous woman, before her accusers, and before the writer of this book of gospel, there is yet clear scriptural record of this hidden truth spoken openly by the Lord in His earthly ministry. This truth was able to muzzle the mouths of the accusing and unbelieving Jews in the days of our Lord, and this...now unsealed...speaking will have the same affect upon the unbelieving, the finger pointing, and the beating-their-fellow-slaves-and-drunk-with-the-blood-of-the-saints Christians today in 2023. What Jesus wrote upon the ground would have aligned very closely to the word spoken by the Lord (recorded in scripture) later in the gospel of John. According to the word of the Lord in John 9:39-41, if a saint sees sin in another (or in themselves!), this is equal to that saint (the accuser) still having that sin; I.e. an accuser is not forgiven by God of any sin they see in themselves or another. This is the deceitfulness of sin–– Therefore, those bringing accusation against the adulterous woman here in John 8...they still had their sin; they made it very clear that they saw sin in their Hebrew sister. And because the accusers still had their sin, they were not qualified to throw a single stone at the woman...as the Lord said when He stood up. "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Only the Lord Jesus, who saw no sin in the woman, was qualified to throw a stone at the woman, and the scriptural record indicates that the Lord did not condemn her to death. Neither will our heavenly Master condemn us, dear saints; His burden is easy, and His yoke is light. Furthermore, the woman was told to "go, and from now on sin no more." This was a command from the king of kings for the believing woman to simply live out her life...to simply honor the desires (the good pleasures) of her heart, to simply fear nothing, and...most importantly...to simply see no sin in herself! This woman walked out of the presence of the Lord as a believing Christian living in simplicity according to the two (2) pillars! All things are lawful; honor the good pleasures of your heart as commandment from God. This adulterous woman will be fucking forever...unlike most of the saints whose carcasses fell in the wilderness as they wandered aimlessly for forty years. According to the Bible, most Christians
(1 Cor. 10:5) will be made to be as eunuchs from God for the healing of the nations; most of the Christians will live forever in the kingdom of God as such...eunuchs who heal the basic and natural humans that are allowed live in the kingdom of God and which said humans comprise the totality of all the nations living in God's earthly kingdom for all eternity. This is the truth of the Gospel; this is the two (2) pillars. When a Christian points a finger and makes accusation against another or even against themselves (a house divided), that accusing saint still has their sin, and they will die in that sin when they stand before the Lord at His judgement seat. For with what judgement you judge, you shall be judged by God, and in what you judge another, you condemn yourself...to death. On a slightly more positive note, the scriptures hold record elsewhere of another woman "caught in promiscuity", and yet with very different results. In this other scene, the "adulterous" woman does not find herself surrounded by those with a thirst for the bloodshed of the saints (Rev. 17:6; 16:5-6; 18:23-24), does not find herself surrounded by those like the self righteous and unbelieving scribes and Pharisees who live as if their conscience is branded as with a hot iron (1 Tim. 4:2-3), and does not find herself surrounded by the unrighteous who only see trespasses and sins in their brethren (John 9:41). The "adulterous" woman in this other scene is shepherded unto life and much blessing (Luke 1:42-55) by
the righteous. When a Hebrew sister named Mary was found to be with child before she had come together with her husband, Joseph (Matt. 1:18), her husband did not drag her out by the hair and to the synagogue or to the temple in Jerusalem for judgement before the high priest and also for the subsequent stoning. Instead, Joseph sought to send his wife away in secret to thus spare her any public shame, spare her any additional embarrassment, and of course spare her from the judgement of death. Today in 2023, unfaithful spouses are shamefully and openly crucified with all fanfare and celebrity by Christians as standard issue, and the kings of the earth (human governments) get rich (Rev. 17:2; 18:3, 9) taking their money. This is a Babylonian business model that is permeated through and through with Asherah idol sacrifice (savage appreciation of fairytale white dress marriage ceremony). This is a business model that is powered by fornication (marriage contract violators are expected...even taught...to feel bad (Rev. 2:14, 20, 24)). And this is a business model that is promoted by Catholicism along with her
many daughters. The king of kings has judged this satanic system in its entirety, and He is returning soon (Matt. 24:15-22) in order to miserably kill all of these demonically influenced (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 10:19-20; 1 Tim. 4:1-5; Rev. 9:20-21; 18:2-3) and murderous people of Babylon with the sword of His mouth and to burn their city (Matt. 21:40-41; Luke 19:15, 27; Rev. 2:16; 19:15, 21; Matt. 22:7) to the ground. The New Testament...the covenant (legally binding and blood sealed contract) that Christians have with Jehovah...teaches and testifies to all Christians that the manner in which Joseph sought to handle his "unfaithful" wife, Mary, was a clear demonstration of righteousness as coming from a righteous saint (Matt. 1:19). And as a righteous saint, Joseph will hence be feasting and fucking forever. Any Christian that is seeking to have a testimony of righteousness before God and man will honor the testimony of this husband that is recorded in the Bible with their Christian life and with a healthy fear of the Lord God the Almighty presiding over
their heart. This is the testimony of the Gospel. Any Christian who expects to be fucking for all eternity surely has to do better than the unbelieving scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 5:20), lest the appointment of that Christians' portion be as with the hypocrites (Matt. 24:51), as with the unbelievers (Luke 12:46). In that place[outer darkness or lake of fire or the second death] there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. In that place, no rest will be found for the soul in waterless places (Matt. 12:43). This is because in waterless places (wherever there is land), the righteous and joyfully living people...the saints and the nations...are eating, drinking,...and fucking. Observation of and longings for this wedding feast enjoyment from the position of the lake of fire will trigger destruction within the souls that are under the authority of the second death. The souls of the saints that are in outer darkness will face destruction when their desires for participation are provoked by observation of the feasting and fucking in the 1,000 year millennium kingdom. Furthermore, it must be understood that both hell[death before the King's return] and the lake of fire[outer darkness or the second death after the return of the King in about 5 years] are right here on earth. The bodyless souls of men in these places (or rather...in these conditions of existence) are invisible to the living and even to the other dead, but the dead can talk to and hear each other. They have no bodies to be seen, nonetheless. So all of the dead unregenerate[not God's Old/New Testament people] and all of the sleeping saints are right here on earth with full access to travel anywhere, to see anything in their line of sight, and to hear everything from the surface of the moon, to the ISS in orbit, down to a submarine in the Mariana Trench. Understand that there are no secrets (Matt. 10:26). Every single human that has ever existed is still here, and they will always be here...no...matter...what...for...all...eternity. Only God's people amongst the living will ever have access to heaven in that day, however. Saints in outer darkness have to wait 1,000 years before that can go between heaven and earth at their own will. Most Christians, the eunuchs (sons of Gehenna), will have to wait 1,000 years before they are able to climb the heavenly ladder to go to heaven. The harlot and the tax collector will have been ascending and descending upon the Son of Man as the heavenly ladder for 1,000 years (and starting in about 5 years) by the time the workers of lawlessness (the broken cisterns which hold no water for the enjoyment of God and man (Jer. 2:12-13)) gain access to heaven (Matt. 21:28-32). In hell or hades, unbelievers[not God's people] hunger and thirst for the satisfaction of their hearts' desires (Luke 16:24-25) according to what they can see and hear in the living. From Adam and Eve until today, all of God's people in hell are resting in peace in Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22) and will be as such until the return of the King. The "bosom of Abraham" or "Paradise" (Luke 23:42-43) is a condition of comfort and rest for those who have completed their course in life and are chosen by God to be among God's people...even those chosen to live in His kingdom for all eternity. In the lake of fire, both the unbelievers (lasting for all eternity, and to start in 5 years for:
- the tares[fake christians (Matt. 13:24-30)],
- the antichrist (Rev. 19:20),
- the false prophet (Rev. 19:20),
- and the deceived modern-society-nations[the goats (Matt. 25:32-46)] who live to see Jesus return in about 5 years;
- and to start in just over 1,000 years for those not written in the book of life and already dead + the armies at Armageddon that Jesus will send to hell by speaking (Rev. 19:21)) and the lawless Christians (lasting for 1,000 years, and to start in about 5 years for most of the Christians) will all face the agony of the loss or destruction of their soul. In the lake of fire which burns with fire and brimstone (Rev. 14:9-11), when the desires of the heart are stirred up by what one can see and hear of the enjoyment of the living upon the surface of the earth, the agony of the destruction (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 3:3; Gal. 6:8; James 5:3; Col. 3:5-6) of the desires of the heart comes upon the soul like a flame to the flesh. In the kingdom of the heavens, there is an actual place, a literal Gehenna, that will begin to smoke as visible indication to the saints in heaven...even to the martyrs and faithful witnesses...of the torment of the souls of men (and eventually of Satan with his principalities, powers, and the demons) in the lake of fire. Once started, Gehenna will always have smoke ascending from it in heaven for all eternity. Today, Jan 31, 2023 @ 0645 hrs, there is no smoke in that place, called Gehenna, in heaven. There is no smoke because the lake of fire here on earth is currently empty; Soul occupancy = 0; smoke = 0. Soon, Gehenna in heaven will pop smoke, and the sons of Gehenna (Matt. 23:15)...which also includes all of the fear mongering 9/11 murderers and their children appointed by God to complete destruction...will be produced by God here on earth in the lake of fire. These workers of lawlessness (Matt. 7:23; 13:40-42) who, in 2011, came into apartment #305 on Marietta Street in Atlanta will comprise the most savagely FUBAR'd segment of the population of eternal eunuchs in the kingdom of the heavens ever to be produced by God our Father for the healing of the nations (Rev. 22:2) for all eternity. When these saints walk into the room, everyone will know they were in my apartment in 2011; everyone will know they fucked with the messeger to the church in Philadelphia towards and even through the end of the age of grace in 2023; everyone will know these are the Christians who picked the wrong nigger to fuck with. It is strongly indicated in scripture that all such workers may neither eat nor drink, as well; their only food may be to do the will of God (John 4:31-34), and rivers of living water come forth from their innermost being (John 7:38)...this may be their eternal drink. More than 50% of all Christians have been appointed by God to receive this portion (1 Cor. 10:5) of wrath from God. Furthemore and as prophesied by Jesus (Matt. 24:15), abominations coming out of the possessions of and supporting the political agendas of the desolator...these same 9/11 murders...with said desolation having been set to trample, set to come up against, and even set to satisfy legalities for the destruction of the holy temple, and as if that's not enough, with set resolve to hinder all priestly temple services, sacrifice (this shit is strictly personal), and oblation contained therein–– Which said holy temple...the vessel of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia (a veritable and God damned muther fucking badass community college negro from the south hailing from Atlanta, GA) is simultaneously being trampled and, by virtue and provocation of said trampling before the eyes of God the Father, is also commanding a special portion of complete destruction from God Himself for the desolator (the same fear mongering bloodshed 9/11 idiots mentioned above) and their children...as prophesied by Daniel the prophet (Dan. 9:17-27). This destruction is being stored up at this very moment and daily in 2023 for (and will be dispensed by God Himself personally to ALL) of the 9/11 conspirators (and those UK bombings wankers) and their spiritual children, even to the third and fourth generation (Exo. 20:5) of those who hate Jehovah. Says the messenger, J5: [earmuffs!] "I wish these ivy league PhDs would go home, get way more people and permission to waste another 12 years of the prime of my life; then come back and trample the outer court (the mortal body) of my temple (soul) with both feet. I'm most terribly bored and almost certainly...no...definitely...dying slowly from boredom and lack of any current or even a forseable challenge that I can use to muster up some feeling of excitement or anticipation. I have nothing to dream about. All of these muppets are dumb as fuck and soft like a napkin...in summary...they're just a bunch of academically juiced, scare mongering, story-telling pussies with nothing but organizational book smarts, with old age in spades, with the Catholic Pope's dick repeatedly getting jammed down their throat (absolutely no gagging––), and with an around-the-clock need to have their dusty ivy league PhD-umb asses wiped by this negro community college boy from Atlanta with an undergrad from state and a B-minus GPA. Gawd dammit...where's my friggin' beer!?! I can be piss freekin' drunk 24/7/365 and still hand this crowd-of-dunces-riff-raff-of-men their dusty flippin' asses every...God...damn...muther...lovin' day!! ...and this is all before my heavenly Master has even stepped up to the plate to have a swing at these chumps. YEAH, that's right, you suckers! I haven't even tagged my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into the ring yet, you fools! And I happen to know for a God-damned muther truckin' fact that my heavenly Father God in God-dawggit freekin' heaven above is absolutely and positively chomping at the bit to have just one round with your stuck up lil' miss fancy pants asses. At this point, I've taken like 12 years to go to town and back on a daily basis and all over your dumb ivy league asses. My God in heaven above...He only wants one day (Psa. 90:4; 2 Pet. 3:8). NOW GO GET WAY MORE PEOPLE SO I CAN TAG JESUS INTO THIS BITCH ON SOMETHING FRESH!! THIS OLD THING IS SLOPPY AND TIRED...Well, mainly sloppy... p.s. - Tell your girl I said hi...Just tell her I said, hello!" Like a cast-out-of-body and wandering demon in Satan's kingdom of darkness, the saint which took the teachings of demons from blind guides and then fell short of Joseph's testimony in caring for themself and others before the Lord...the saint that fell short of a testimony borne in righteousness...that saint will run like a demon to the middle of the South Pacific Ocean for their unclean spirit to brood over the deep, dark, and rolling waters in order to find rest for their soul (Mark 5:7-13). In that place, there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth for 1,000 years. The Lord's speaking, as recorded in John 9:39-41: And Jesus said, For judgement I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may
become blind. Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, We are not blind also, are we? Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now that you say, We see; your sin remains. ) of said transgression (there is no sin) then leads their heart into fornication. As the Lord wrote in the dirt, if you see sin, you have sin (John 8:6John 8:6 - But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote with His finger on the ground.; 9:41John 9:41 - Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; your sin remains.). Something that is NOT the Holy Spirit has pricked this Christian's conscience, telling them that they did wrong and have sinned before heaven and earth; this is spiritual fornication, and the wrath of God will come (Col. 3:6Colossians 3:6 - Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;) to destroy the offending desire from the soul. The good land will vomit this saint out (Lev. 18:1-5, 24-28Leviticus 18:1-5, 24-28 - 1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am Jehovah your God. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt; and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, nor shall you walk in their statutes. You shall observe My ordinances, and you shall keep My statutes to walk in them; I am Jehovah your God. So you shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, by which, if a man does them, he will live; I am Jehovah. 24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these things, for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have defiled themselves. Because the land has become defiled, I visited its iniquity upon it, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. You therefore shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native nor the sojourner who sojourns among you (For the men of the land who were before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled); That the land does not vomit you out when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation which was before you. For all who do any of these abominations, those persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore you shall keep My charge, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and you do not defile yourselves by them; I am Jehovah your God.) at the location in question and at every high place in the soul (Col. 3:5Colossians 3:5 - Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry.) where the saint has setup an Asherah or (and with the highest degree of certainty) a Baal (1 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-181 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-18 - 37 Answer me, O Jehovah; answer me, that this people may know that You, O Jehovah, are God and that You have turned their heart back again. And the fire of Jehovah fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. And when the people saw this, they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah––He is God! Jehovah––He is God! And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there. 45 And in the meantime the heavens became black with clouds, and there was wind and a great rain. And Ahab mounted his chariot and went to Jezreel. And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and all about how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, The gods do so to me and even more, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the life of one of them! And because he was afraid, he rose up and went away for his life; and he came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his attendant there. And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a certain broom shrub; and he requested for himself that he might die and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers. And he lay down and slept under the broom shrub. And suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, Rise up and eat. And he looked, and there at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time and touched him and said, Rise up and eat; for the journey is too great for you. And he rose up and ate and drank, and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. And there he went into a cave and lodged there. And at that time the word of Jehovah came to him; and He said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And He said, Go out, and stand upon the mountain before Jehovah. And suddenly Jehovah passed by, and a great, strong wind rent the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before Jehovah––Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake––Jehovah was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire––Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a gentle, quiet voice. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And then a voice came to him and said, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And Jehovah said to him, Go; return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you come there, anoint Hazael as king over Syria; And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint as king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. And him who escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and him who escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. Yet I have left Myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.). If the offending (offending to the dumb idol set up in the good land, a pillar stood up at a grand vista [a place with a good view] in the heart of the saint) desire of the saint is something like online pornography, then the wrath of God will come as the Spirit to sweep the soul of that saint unto destruction (Isa. 14:21-24Isaiah 14:21-24 - Prepare a slaughterhouse for his children
   Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
So that they do not rise up and possess the land,
   And fill the surface of the world with cities. And I will rise up against them,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts.
And I will cut off from Babylon name and remnant,
   And posterity and progeny, declares Jehovah.
And I will make it a possession for porcupines
   And muddied pools of water,
And I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts. Jehovah of hosts has sworn, saying,
Surely just as I conceived it, so has it happened;
   And just as I have purposed it, so shall this stand,) in the territory of the heart where the idol was setup...the territory that lead the saint one to appreciate pornography. Therefore, in the case of certain forms of idolatry such as fornication, passion, and evil[in the eyes of a pagan society] desire, discipline from God can produce an eternal eunuch (Matt. 19:12Matthew 19:12 - For there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who can accept it, let him accept it.). The prayers of the saint (above) indicate that there exists a certain delight within the soul of this Christian. The saint builds regularly at this place in their soul. Then the saint destroys what they built in confession (Gal. 2:18). Jesus, forgive me for doing
"A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again. The saint despises their God-given portion of the good land (their God created soul), and they hate their Creator (Exo. 20:5; Deut. 5:9-10). This is what Jezebel (Roman Catholicism and her many daughters) produces in God's people. This is rebellion. The chastisement from Jehovah:
In the Old Testament, the nations (Canaanites, Jebusites, Amorites, Moabites, etc. See Exo. 23:23 and footnotes, Recovery Version) represent different aspects of our natural life. When a saint brings idolatry and fornication into the promised good land (their heart) Jehovah will cause the sword from the pagan tribes in the land to rise up against them to dispossess them from off of the land...to bring them into slavery or captivity. If there is no repentance and return to the good land (honoring their whole heart) whilst breath is still in the lungs of that saint and before their Master's return, the high places in their portion of the good land (soul) which kept the idols will get destruction from the Spirit (Isa. 14:23; Luke 15:8-10; Col. 3:5-6) in outer darkness. Effectively the saint will have gotten evicted or vomited out of their own heart in the ressurection. The commandments of God written upon the heart of this dear saint, with all of their heart's natural or soulish delights included therein, have become the very instrument of this saint's destruction due to their disobedience unto the Lord. The saint in this example naturally likes smoking cigarettes, but then they brought idolatry into their heart, and set up a pillar unto Baal at that grand vista, high place, or splendid vantage point of the soul. Other high places of the soul...common Asherah and Baal worship locations in the good land...are mentioned in Col. 3:5. The Baal is for the protection of some kind of appreciation (Asherah) that was taught to the saint (Gen. 2:17). "Feeling good" about "clean smoke free Christian living" when you smoke cigarettes is to eat idol sacrifiice at the feet of an Asherah. This will result in fornication, and Catholicism teaches (Rev. 2:20) this rebellious and leavened shit to Christians as if it were clean, straight, and standard issue church doctrine. As chastisement, Jehovah then allowed the saint's God created natural (the pagan nations in the good land) desire for cigarettes to rise up against the saint provoking bouts of apparent loss of self control. Many apparent "transgressions" (Heb. 3:13; 2 Thes. 2:10) against a "clean smoke free Christian living" false god burst forth. This uprising of the saint's own natural desires for cigarettes also provoked many trespass offerings unto Jehovah at the alter in the outer court...but offerings that were without the Holy Spirit (laver). The laboring priest must first wash in the laver before offering sacrifice at the alter. See excerpt from the Life Study of ExodusLife Study of Exodus page 1672 - THE RESULT OF SERVING IN THE TABERNACLE WITHOUT FIRST WASHING IN THE LAVER When we pray to offer something to the Lord, we first need to wash our hands and even our feet in the laver. To come to the meeting to function is actually to come into the tabernacle to serve the Lord. Before we serve the Lord in the tabernacle, we need to wash. However, in the Christian life of many believers and in their service to God there does not seem to be a laver. When they come to the alter to make an offering to God, they have unclean hands. They may come into the church meetings and serve without washing their hands in the laver. This kind of service brings in death. This is the reason Exodus 30:21 says "Then they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die." We should be careful not to touch God's service unless we have first washed our hands in the laver. If we try to serve God in the tabernacle with unclean hands, we shall die, spiritually speaking. How much death there is among Christians today! The more they serve, the more death they have because they serve with unclean hands. Praying and serving with unclean hands brings in death. If we do not pray in the meetings or function, in a sense we may be somewhat living. But if we pray or function without washing in the laver, we shall bring death to ourselves and also spread death to others. Death is the result of our trying to pray or serve without washing in the laver. for more fellowship on the laver in Christian experience. In the example here (cigarettes), the Holy Spirit has not convicted a single soul, and the Holy Spirit has had nothing to do with any trespass offering unto the Lord. It is a "clean smoke free Christian living" dumb idol that is somehow lodging complaints. But idols don't speak (Psa. 38:13; Hab. 2:18; 1 Cor. 12:2). It is solely the uncircumcised heart of the dear fornicating saint making the accusations. There is no god, so there is actually no "physical" trespass. The "sin" here is an illusion, but sacrifice for forgiveness (this is called a trespass offering) at the alter unto Jehovah without the laver (Holy Spirit) is a sin unto death (Exo. 30:18-21). . For a laboring priest of Jehovah, a portion of food is often available from God for the priest's satisfaction and enjoyment through the ordinary course and fulfillment of the priestly duties. In the Old Testament, the animal sacrifices often provided meat for the offering priest and offerrer to eat after sacrificing to Jehovah. Now that the Lord is the Spirit (2 Cor 3:17) within the believers, when the prophet of Jehovah faithfully speaks the word of the Lord, the heavenly Master of the prophet can respond within the heart of the laboring priest with "AMEN!", which to the speaking prophet is truly a most satisfying meal to their soul (John 4:32-34). This is an example of the enjoyment of sacrifice for a priest in God's New Testament economy. When the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 3:9) uses advanced technology to trample the outer court (Rev. 11:1-2) of the temple (John 2:21)...perverting the mouth of the prophet away from speaking the word of the Lord, the heavenly Master of the prophet does not respond with "AMEN!" inside of the heart of the speaking saint. This deprives His own slave (Rev. 10:7) of food and the enjoyment of sacrifice; the sacrifice and enjoyment within the soul of the prophet has ceased. This is the precise method and manner of the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the ceasing of the sacrifice and the oblation recorded in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15). Sacrifice, as used here, (1) refers generally to the satisfaction, rest, and enjoyment of the soul obtained in the course of normal human living, and (2) refers specifically to the food or enjoyment received from doing the will of God our Father. Oftentimes, there is significant overlap betwixt the former and the latter...such as when going to a rave, when crushing a beer, or when leaving independent contractors at the strip club with no other option but to bring out the rakes. All of these forms of sacrifice and many more unmentioned have ceased in the living of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia to fulfill the Word of God at the end of this age. The vessel or soul of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia is the temple within which the abominations or the evil possessions (even intentions of heart) of the desolation (Matt. 24:15; see synagogue of Satan in Rev. 3:9) are slanderously established (or cast by shadow and illusion)...and all this whilst the testimony of the gospel of the kingdom is being preached with boldness, clarity, and wit to the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14). ; Matt. 24:15-22Matthew 24:15-22 - Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the Holy Place (let 1him who reads understand), Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take the things out of his house; And let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days. And pray that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath, For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not occurred from the beginning of the world until now, nor shall by any means ever occur. And unless those days had been cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen, those days will be cut short. Footnote: 24:151 In its literal application, "him" refers to or is the Lord speaking to a Christian brother, prophet of Jehovah, and slave of our Lord Jesus Christ from Atlanta, Georgia, USA who is currently residing in the metro-atlanta area. The 43 years old Jonathan Paul Harris (a.k.a. '5', 'J5', or 'jony5', pronounced as "Johnny Five") serving the Lord before both God and man at the end of this age to faithfully and openly bear this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom before the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14) is spoken to by the Lord here. This brother is the specific saint to whom the Holy Spirit is directing this word of Scripture to cause this one to bear the responsibility of drawing out interpretation of prophecy and application of the same in order to signal the close of the age. More importantly...or more interestingly,...the vessel of this saint is the precise location for the application of the temple or Holy Place in the prophecy that the same brother is here responsible for interpreting. Our brothers Daniel the prophet (Dan 9) and Jesus the Prophet (Matt 24) were not talking about sacrifice ceasing in a physical building in Jerusalem rebuilt by the Jewish people at the end of the age. But He spoke of the temple of His body (John 2:21). The prophecy of sacrifice ceasing in the Holy Place when viewed through the lens of God's New Testament economy and honoring everything the Lord has given to His people to this day basically implies as clear as day that in the midst of slanderous accusations (or abominations) cast at the contents of (even the disposition of) the soul of a saint (the Holy Place), a Christian is going to be persecuted dearly in their soul for it's enjoyment to reduce the enjoyment (or sacrifice in the Holy Place) down to nothing. See more on the sacrifice ceasing in Dan. 9:17-27, note 1Daniel 9:17-27 - And now hear, O our God, the prayer of Your servant and his supplications, and cause Your face to shine upon Your sanctuary that has been desolated, for the Lord's sake. O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city that is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You based upon any righteous doings that we have done, but based upon Your great compassion. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! Do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God; for Your city and Your people are called by Your own name. And while I was still speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God, Even while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, reached me in my utter exhaustion about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me and talked with me and said, Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications the command went forth, and I have come to tell you, for you are preciousness itself. Therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are apportioned for your people and for your holy city, to close the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make propitiation for iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Holy of Holies. Know therefore and comprehend: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the time of Messiah the Prince will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with street and trench, even in distressful times. And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing; and the people of the prince who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end of it will be a flood, and even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week; and in the middle of the week he will 1cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease and will replace the sacrifice and the oblation with abominations of the desolator, even until the complete destruction that has been determined is poured out upon the desolator. Footnote: 9:271 The fulfillment of the prophecies concerning both the ceasing of the sacrifice and the bringing in of the abominations of the desolator have transpired within the temple (John 2:19-21) or soul of a christian brother, the messenger to the church in Philadelphia, between Q4 2011 and 2023. For more on the messenger to the church in Philadelphia, see Rev. 3:7, note 1Revelation 3:7-13 - And to the 1messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says 2the Holy One, the true One, the One who has the key of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:
I know your 3works; behold, I have put before you an 4opened door which no one can shut, because you have a 5little power and have 6kept My word and have 7not denied My name. Behold, I will make 8those of the synagogue of Satan, those who call themselves Jews and are not, but lie––behold, I will cause them to come and fall prostrate before your feet and to know that I have loved you. 9Because you have kept the 10word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the 11hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth. 12I come quickly; 13hold fast what you have that no one take your crown. 14He who overcomes, him I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore, and I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Footnote: Note 1 The messenger of the church in Philadelphia to whom the Lord is speaking in this portion of John's Revelation is a Christian brother, prophet of Jehovah, and slave of our Lord Jesus Christ from Atlanta, Georgia, USA who is currently residing in the metro-atlanta area. The 43 years old Jonathan Paul Harris (a.k.a. '5', 'J5', or 'jony5', pronounced as "Johnny Five") is serving the Lord before both God and man at the end of this age to faithfully and openly bear this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom before the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14Matthew 24:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.). Saints, when God our heavenly Father sees fruit from this gospel preaching being borne in the hearts of men throughout all the nations (i.e. the hearts of the unregenerate or non-Christian have received this testimony), then the end (of the world or age) will come.
Through a door opened by the Lord (Rev. 3:8Revelation 3:8 - I know your works; behold, I have put before you an opened door which no one can shut, because you have a little power and have kept My word and have not denied My name.) in Q4 of 2011 and continuing until today, this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom is being borne by the messenger of the church in Philadelphia before all of God's people on the earth. When this word bears fruit in the hearts of the dear saints, the "40 years" (full measure of trials, tests, and sufferings, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 32:13Numbers 32:13 - And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation which had done evil in the sight of Jehovah was consumed.; Josh. 5:6Joshua 5:6 - For the children of Israel went for forty years through the wilderness until all the nation, the men of war who had come out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not listen to the voice of Jehovah, they to whom Jehovah swore that they would not see the land that Jehovah has sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.; Psa. 95:10-11Psalms 95:10-11 - For forty years I loathed that generation,
   And I said, They are a people who go astray in heart;
   And they do not know My ways;
Therefore I swore in My anger:
   They shall by no means enter into My rest!; Num. 14:35Numbers 14:35 - I, Jehovah, have spoken; surely I will do this to all this evil assembly who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.; Matt. 4:1-2Matthew 4:1-2 - Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He became hungry.) of God's people wandering in the wilderness where their corpses were being strewn along (Num. 14:29-30Numbers 14:29-30 - Your corpses shall fall in this wilderness, and none of you who were numbered, according to the number you counted from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, Shall come into the land, in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son Nun.; 1 Cor. 10:51 Corinthians 10:23 - But with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn along in the wilderness.) on account of their unbelief in God's word (Heb. 3:9-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.) will be over.
In fact and in practicality, this places the typological fulfillment of the Jordan River crossing of God's people (Num. 33:50-54Numbers 33:50-56 - Then Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and you shall destroy all their figured stones and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places; And you shall take possession of the land and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it. And you shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain of them will become as splinters in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you are dwelling. And just as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you.) as having started in Q2 of 2019 with the re-speaking (the deuteronomy) of the gospel on jony5.com where Christians were reminded of their blood-sealed and eternally binding covenant with Jehovah to keep the commandments of the Lord which are written upon their very heart of flesh (Ezek. 11:17-25Ezekiel 11:17-25 - Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. And they will come there and take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from it. And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, That they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them; and they will be My people, and I will be their God. But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their ways upon their heads, declares the Lord Jehovah. Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were next to them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain which is east of the city. And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to Chaldea, to the captives, in a vision by the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen went up from me. Then I told the captives all the things that Jehovah had shown me.; Jer. 31:33-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). And yet, many of God's people, lacking repentance (Rev. 2:21-22Revelation 2:21-22 - And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works;) and even rejecting this very revelation, will be measured by the Lord in that day, will be found by the Lord to be wanting, and will have thus fallen in the wilderness (Heb. 4:11Hebrews 4:11 - Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.) due to their unbelief in
God's word.
A new generation of God's people (even the children of those who are stumbling at the stone of stumbling, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 1 Pet. 2:7-81 Peter 2:7-8 - To you therefore who believe is the preciousness; but to the unbelieving, "The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner," And, "A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense"; who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.; Rom. 9:31-33Romans 9:31-33 - But Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not attain to that law. Why? Because they pursued it not out of faith, but as it were out of works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling, As it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense, and he who believes on Him shall not be put to shame."; 1 Cor. 1:23-251 Corinthians 1:22-25 - For indeed Jews require signs and Greeks seek wisdom, But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, But to those who 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.) will be the generation to enter into and to possess the good land, their own heart, with all boldness (Heb. 10:35Hebrews 10:35 - Do not cast away therefore your boldness, which has great reward.) according to all the promises of God. Saints, we are the "stone become bread" people...the "water become wine" peop...no...we are the "water become whiskey" people! We are the "stone become steamed 10 lb. lobster" people! We are the "stone become factory fresh Bugatti Chiron PUR Sport" people (John 14:12-14John 14:12-14 - Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! God our Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies to the praise of the glory of His grace (Eph. 1:3-14Ephesians 1:3-14 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.). This is our hope of glory laid up in the heavens (Col. 1:5Colossians 1:5 - Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,; 1:27Colossians 1:27 - To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,; 1 Pet. 1:3-51 Peter 1:3-5 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time.; 1:131 Peter 1:13 - Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.; Tit. 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb. 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; Heb. 10:23Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;). Jesus, our real Joshua (Heb. 4:8-16Hebrews 4:8-16 - For if Joshua had brought them into rest, He would not have spoken concerning another day after these things. So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His own. Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature that is not maifest before Him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we are to give our account. Having therefore a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin. Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may recieve mercy and find grace for timely help.), is now leading us to enter and to take the land, our heart...our eternal inheritance. A saint's good pleasure (Rom. 12:2Romans 12:2 - And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.; Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) to smoke a cigarette is the will of God or God's very commandment made known to them, as a faithful slave of God and laboring priest in the temple (John 2:21John 2:21 - But He spoke of the temple of His body.; Matt. 12:5Matthew 12:5 - Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?). Since they are a Christian and are thus enslaved to God (Rom. 6:22Romans 6:22 - But now, having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.), in order to faithfully satisfy the blood sealed and eternally effective (Heb. 9:14Hebrews 9:14 - How much more will the blood Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?) contract of their enslavement to righteousness (Rom. 6:18-19Romans 6:18-19 - And having been freed from sin, you were enslaved to righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.), they have no choice but to obey (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.; John 14:15, 20-21John 14:15, 20-21 - 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.) the will of God made known to them through their recognition of what is pleasurable or most delightful to their soul (2 Cor. 3:32 Corinthians 3:3 - Since you are being manifested that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone but in tablets of hearts of flesh.; Heb. 8:10Hebrews 8:10 - For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will impart My laws into their mind, and on their hearts I will inscribe them; and I will be God to them, and they will be a people to Me.; Jer. 31:31-34Jeremiah 31:31-34 - Indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.) which at this very moment and in this demonstration of a hope or of a spiritual blessing kept in the heavenlies (Eph. 1:3Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 8:16-17, 24-25Romans 8:16-17, 24-25 - 16 The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. And if children, heirs also; on the one hand, heirs of God; on the other, joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified with Him. 24 For we were saved in hope. But a hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it through endurance.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 2 Cor. 3:122 Corinthians 3:12 - Therefore since we have such hope, we use much boldness,; Gal. 5:5-6Galatians 5:5-6 - For we by the Spirit out of faith eagerly await the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith avails, operating
through love.; Eph. 1:9-14, 18-23Ephesians 1:9-14, 18-23 - 9 Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory. 18 The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength, Which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, Far above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come; And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.; Col. 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27Colossians 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27 - 5 Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, Which has come to you, even as it is also in all the world, bearing fruit and growing, as also in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God
in truth; 21 And you, though once alienated and enemies in your mind because of your evil works, He now has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and without reproach before Him; If indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a minister. 26 The mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations but now has been manifested to His saints; To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope
of glory,; 1 Thes. 1:2-31 Thessalonians 1:2-3 - We thank God always concerning all of you, making mention of you in our prayers, Remembering unceasingly your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;; 5:7-111 Thessalonians 5:7-11 - For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk are drunk during the night; But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us in order that whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with Him. Therefore comfort one another, and build up each one the other, even as you also do.; 2 Thes. 2:16-172 Thessalonians 2:16-17 - Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope in grace, Comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.; 1 Tim. 1:11 Timothy 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,; 6:171 Timothy 6:17 - Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;; Titus 1:1-3Titus 1:1-3 - Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's chosen ones and the full knowledge of the truth, which is according to godliness, In the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the times of the ages But in its own times manifested His word in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the command of our Savior God;; 2:11-15Titus 2:11-15 - For the grace of God, bringing salvation to all men, has appeared, Training us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age, Awaiting the blessed hope, even the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify to Himself a particular people as His unique possession, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort and convict with all authority. Let no one despise you.; 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; 6:17-20Hebrews 6:17-20 - Therefore God, intending to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His counsel, interposed with an oath, In order that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us, Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm and which enters within the veil, Where the Forerunner, Jesus, has entered for us, having become forever a High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.; 7:17-19Hebrews 7:17-19 - For it is testified, "You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." For there is, on the one hand, the setting aside of the preceding commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness (For the law perfected nothing), and, on the other hand, the bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as He was not made a Priest without the taking of an oath (For they are appointed priests without the taking of an oath, but He, with the taking of an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not regret it, You are a Priest forever"), By so much Jesus has also become the surety of a better covenant.; 10:21-23Hebrews 10:21-23 - And having a great Priest over the house of God, Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;; 11:1Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.; 1 Pet. 1:3-9, 13, 211 Peter 1:3-9, 13, 21 - 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time; In which time you exult, though for a little while at present, if it must be, you have been made sorrowful by various trials, So that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; Whom having not seen, you love; into whom though not seeing Him at present, yet believing, you exult with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of
your souls. 13 Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 21 Who through Him believe into God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.; 3:5-7, 14-221 Peter 3:5-7, 14-22 - 5 For in this manner formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands, As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children you have become, if you do good and do not fear any terror. Husbands, in like manner dwell together with them according to knowledge, as with the weaker, female vessel, assigning honor to them as also to fellow heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 14 But even if you suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not be afraid with fear from them, nor be troubled, But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you, Yet with meekness and fear, having a good conscience, so that in the manner in which you are spoken against, those who revile your good manner of life in Christ may be put
to shame. For it is better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also has suffered once for sins, the Righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, on the one hand being put to death in the flesh, but on the other, made alive in the Spirit; In which also He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, Who had formerly disobeyed when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared; entering into which, a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through
by water. Which water, as the antitype, also now saves you, that is, baptism, not a putting away of the filth of the flesh but the appeal of a good conscience unto God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to Him.; 1 John 3:1-101 John 3:1-10 - Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. Because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is. And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, even as He is pure. Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness also, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested that He might take away sins; and sin is not in Him. Everyone who abides in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him. Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who practices righteousness is righteous, even as He
is righteous; He who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Everyone who has been begotten of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten
of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest. Everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, neither he who does not love his brother.), kept in Christ for this particular saint...is lighting up a cigarette. For it is God who operates in that saint (1) to make His will manifest to them and (2) to affect the working out of His will in their life. This shit is always in alignment with the good pleasure (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) of one's soul; how can one fail under such a light burden? A saint always does what they want to do, and this is their "law." Our heavenly Master's burden is easy, and His yoke is light (Matt. 11:28-30Matthew 11:28-30 - Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.). If a saint has routine "failures," in daily life––. Saints, our vessel (Matt. 25:4, lit. soulMatthew 25:4 - But the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.) holds our person with its' God created natural delights (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) or what one may even call soulish pleasures, and our vessel also holds God the Father in Christ the Son as the Spirit with all of Their (Gen. 1:26Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.) delight and good pleasure (Eph. 1:9Ephesians 1:9 - Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself,). This makes the soul of the saint to be a container or vessel for a proper and tasty tea blend of the person of that saint and that of their Creator, God the Almighty, whom the saint formally addresses in their heart as Jesus Christ, the man. There is no need for formality, however. One can live by the feeling of the Lord in their soul and never mention or even consider His
name...His person. As the saint considers their feelings here and there throughout the day, they are kinda just sipping on this tea. If something tastes good to them, they will consider going that way; God's will is there. If it tastes bad, they turn away; the will of God for the path they walk in life is in this, too. Just believe it. Many times considerations result in or are unto enjoyment or pleasure for body and/or soul. Again, if you feel good about it ––,...and if you feel bad ––. The faithful slave sanctifies Christ Jesus as Lord in their heart (Jer. 24:7Jeremiah 24:7 - And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am Jehovah; and they will be My people, and I will be their God; for they will return to Me with their whole heart.; 1 Pet. 3:151 Peter 3:15 - But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you,), and then they honor God's commandments (Lev. 26:3-13Leviticus 26:3-13 - If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, Then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit. Indeed your threshing will overtake the vintage, and the vintage will overtake the sowing time. Thus you will eat your bread unto satisfaction and dwell securely in your land. And I will give you peace in the land, so that you will lie down and no one will make you afraid; and I will cause wild beasts to cease out of your land, and no sword will pass through your land. And you will chase your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. And five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; and your enemies will fall by the sword before you. And I will turn My face toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you. And you will eat the old supply long stored and will have to clear out the old because of the new. And I will set My tabernacle among you; and My soul will not abhor you. And I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright.; Deut. 4:1-2, 39-40Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 39-40 - 1 And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the ordinances which I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, is giving you. You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you. 39 Know therefore today and bring it to heart that Jehovah is God in heaven above and upon the earth below; there is no other. Therefore keep His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, so that you may extend your days upon the land which Jehovah your God is giving you forever.; 5:10, 29Deuteronomy 5:10, 29 - 10 Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 29 Oh that this heart of theirs would be in them always to fear Me and keep all My commandments so that it may go well with them and with their children forever!; 6:1-6, 16-25Deuteronomy 6:1-6, 16-25 - 1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God has commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land into which you are crossing over to possess; That you may fear Jehovah your God and keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life; and that your days may be extended. Therefore hear, O Israel, and be certain to do it, that it may go well with you and that you may be greatly increased, in a land flowing with milk and honey, even as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, promised you. Hear, O Israel, Jehovah is our God; Jehovah is one. And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I command you today, shall be upon your heart; 16 You shall not test Jehovah your God, as you tested Him at Massah. You shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and His testimonies and His statutes, which He has commanded you. And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah so that it may go well with you and you may enter and possess the good land, concerning which Jehovah swore to your fathers To drive out all your enemies from before you, as Jehovah has spoken. When your son asks you in the future, saying, What is the significance of the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Jehovah our God commanded you? Then you will say to your son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And Jehovah put forth before our eyes great and grievous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his house. Then He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, that He might give us the land which He swore to our fathers. And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes so that we would fear Jehovah our God for our good always and He would preserve us alive, as we are this day. And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 6:25Deuteronomy 6:25 - And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 7:9-26Deuteronomy 7:9-26 - Know therefore that it is Jehovah your God who is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and lovingkindness to the thousandth generation with those who love him and keep His commandments, But repays directly those who hate Him by destroying them. He will not be slow toward him who hates Him; He will repay him directly. Therefore you shall keep the commandment, and the statutes and the ordinances, which I am commanding you today to do. And it will be that because you listen to these ordinances, and keep them and do them, Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock, on the land which He swore to your fathers to give you. You will be more blessed than all other peoples; there will not be any barren male or female among you or among your animals. And Jehovah will remove every sickness from you, and none of the evil illnesses of Egypt, which you know about, will He put upon you; but He will give them to all who hate you. And you shall devour all the peoples which Jehovah your God is giving you; your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you. If you say in your heart, These nations are greater than I, how will I be able to dispossess them? You shall not be afraid of them; you must remember what Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt, The great trials that your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders, and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm with which Jehovah your God brought you out; so will Jehovah your God do to all the peoples whom you are afraid of. Furthermore, Jehovah your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and those who hide themselves from you are destroyed. You shall not be terrified of them, for Jehovah your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. And Jehovah your God will clear away these nations from before you little by little; you shall not devour all of them immediately, lest the beasts of the field multiply against you. But Jehovah your God will deliver them up before you and rout them utterly until they
are destroyed. And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under heaven; no man will be able to stand against you until you destroy them. The idols of their gods you shall burn with fire; you shall not desire the silver or gold upon them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God. And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, lest you become a cursed thing like it; you shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.; 8:1-10Deuteronomy 8:1-10 - The whole commandment which I am commanding you today, you shall keep and do, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers. And you shall remember all the way that Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness in order to humble you and test you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. And He humbled you and let you go hungry and fed you the manna, which you had never known nor your fathers had ever known, so that He might make you know that man lives not by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out from the mouth of Jehovah. Your clothing did not wear out from upon you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Jehovah your God was disciplining you; Therefore keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him. For Jehovah your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of waterbrooks, of springs and of fountains, flowing forth in valleys and in mountians; A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees with oil and of honey; A land in which you will eat bread without scarcity; you will not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and from whose mountains you can mine copper. And you shall eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless Jehovah your God for the good land which He has given you.; 11:1, 8-15, 22-28Deuteronomy 11:1, 8-15, 22-28 - 1 Therefore you shall love Jehovah your God and keep His charge and His statutes and His ordinances and His
commandments always. 8 Therefore you shall keep the whole commandment which I am commanding you today so that you may be strong and that you may go in and possess the land into which you are crossing over to possess, And so that you may extend your days upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. For the land which you are entering in to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you came forth, where you used to sow your seed and water by foot as in a vegetable garden. But the land into which you are crossing over to possess is a land of mountains and valleys; by virtue of heaven's rain, it drinks in water. It is a land which Jehovah your God cares for; always the eyes of Jehovah your God are upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. And if you are certain to listen to my commandments, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil. And I will put grass in your field for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. 22 For if you are certain to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him, Jehovah will dispossess all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads will be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the farmost sea will be your territory. No man will be able to stand against you; Jehovah your God will put the dread and fear of you upon all the land on which you tread, as He has spoken to you. See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: The blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today; And the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God and you turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after other gods whom you have not known.; 26:16-19Deuteronomy 26:16-19 - This day Jehovah your God is commanding you to do these statutes and ordinances; therefore you shall keep them and do them with all your heart and with all your soul. It is Jehovah whom you have today declared to be your God and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes and His commandments and His ordinances, and will listen to His voice. And it is Jehovah who has today declared you to be a people for His personal treasure, even as He promised you; and that you will keep all His commandments; And that He will set you high above all the nations which He has made, for praise and for a name and for honor; and that you will be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as He has spoken.; 28:1-14Deuteronomy 28:1-14 - And if you listen diligently to the voice of Jehovah your God and are certain to do all His commandments, which I am commanding you today, Jehovah your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth; And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you listen to the voice of Jehovah your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your animals, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. Jehovah will cause your enemies, who rise up against you, to be struck down before you; on one road they will come out against you, but on seven roads they will flee before you. Jehovah will command the blessing upon you in your storehouses and in all your undertakings; and He will bless you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you. Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in His ways. And all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by Jehovah's name, and they will be afraid of you. And Jehovah will give you an excess of prosperity in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your animals and in the fruit of your ground, upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you. Jehovah will open up to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give rain for your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings. And you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. And Jehovah will make you the head and not the tail, and you will tend only upward, and you will not tend downward, if you will listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today to keep and to do. And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.; 30:11-20Deuteronomy 30:11-20 - For this commandment which I am commanding you today, it is not too difficult for you, nor is it distant. It is not in heaven that you should say, Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? Nor is it across the sea that you should say, Who will go across the sea for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? But the word is very near to you, even in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have put before you today life and good, and death and evil. If you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and walk in His ways and keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you will live and multiply, and Jehovah your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns and you do not listen, but rather you are drawn away in worship to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish; your days will not be extended upon the land into which you are crossing over the Jordan to go and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life that you and your seed may live, In loving Jehovah your God by listening to His voice and holding fast to Him; for He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell upon the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Issac, and to Jacob, to give them.; Exo. 15:26Exodus 15:26 - And He said, If you will listen carefully to the voice of Jehovah your God and do what is right in His eyes and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who heals you.; 1 Kings 8:54-661 Kings 8:54-66 - And when Solomon has finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he rose up from before the alter of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward the heavens. And he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. Not one word of all His good promises which He spoke through Moses His servant has failed. May Jehovah our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; let Him not forsake us nor abandon us, That He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers. And let these words of mine, with which I made supplication to Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night to maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel as each day requires; That all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God; there is none else. Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments as on this day. And the king and all Israel with Him offered sacrifices before Jehovah. And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. Thus the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah. On that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings because the bronze alter which was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings. And Solomon held a feast at that time and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven more days, fourteen days in all. On the eight day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king and went to their tents joyful and happy in heart for all the goodness which Jehovah had shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.; Neh. 1:1-11Nehemiah 1:1-11 - The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa the capital, Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and some men from Judah; and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who were left from the captivity, and about Jerusalem. And they said to me, The remnant who are left from the captivity there in the province are in an exceedingly bad state and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates have been burned with fire. And when I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and I mourned for some days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, And I said, I beseech You, O Jehovah the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep His commandments: Let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now day and night, concerning the children of Israel, Your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel that we have sinned against You. Indeed, I and the house of my father have sinned; We have been most corrupt toward You and have not kept the commandments and the statutes and the ordinances that You commanded Moses Your servant. Remember now the word that You commanded Moses Your servant, saying, If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; But if you return to Me and keep My commandments and perform them, though your outcasts are under the ends of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell. Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand. I beseech You, O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayer of Your servants, who take delight in fearing Your name; and cause Your servant to prosper today, and grant him to find compassion before this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.) which are written upon the very same (Jer. 31:31-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - Indeed days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). This is what Jehovah says is to "love the Lord your God" (Dan. 9:4Daniel 9:4 - And I prayed to Jehovah my God and confessed; and I said, Ah, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep
His commandments,; Gen. 26:4-5Genesis 26:4-5 - And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and will give to your seed all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, Because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.; Exo. 20:6Exodus 20:6 - Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.). Can anyone guess what hatred of God looks like to Jehovah? Next question...who throws away their child's best porno mag? As a Christian, as a slave of God, there is a blood sealed contractual obligation for one to honor their God created God given natural desires according to the terms of peace (Luke 14:31-32Luke 14:31-32 - Or what king, going to engage another king in war, will not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? Otherwise, while he is yet at a distance, he sends an envoy and asks for the terms of peace.), and there should also be a desire to "NOT be put to shame" before their Master in heaven above (Phil. 1:20Philippians 1:20 - According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.) and before so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us (Heb. 12:1Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, put away every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and run with endurance the race which is set before us,). Being a proper slave of God will definitely make a Christian to be salty to God (Matt. 5:13Matthew 5:13 - You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has become tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything except to be cast out and trampled underfoot by men.; Mark 9:50Mark 9:50 - Salt is good, but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you restore its saltiness? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another.; Luke 14:34-35Luke 14:34-35 - Therefore salt is good; but if even the salt becomes tasteless, with what will its saltiness be restored? It is fit neither for the land nor for the manure pile; they will throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.)...lots of flavor! In complete ignorance and with no instructions save the teaching of the Anointing, I applied this truth perfectly as a young single college brother in 2003 (now Jan. 23, 2023). After 20 years of living in this truth...people, at a glance, think that I am a criminal (or a rapper). Christian living during the apostolic period of church history (A.D. 33–100) left many saints dead or imprisoned as criminals. So, I think I can say I am living (and am here teaching) the perfect carbon copy of a pure and apostolically sourced Christian living,...with exceptions being on account of maybe the internet existing and the popularity of human rights...oh yeah, and we have penicillin. Hey, don't knock it; penicillin is the next best thing to having a son of God with leaves in your midst (Rev. 22:2Revelation 22:2 - And on this side and on that side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations.). This is the truth of the Gospel which the saints guarded as a secret in the midst of those most violent and pagan days (Matt. 10:16-33Matthew 10:16-33 - Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore prudent as serpents and guileless as doves. And beware of men, for they will deliver you up to sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. And you will also be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you should speak, for it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; For you are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is the One speaking in you. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death. And you will be hated by all because of My name. But he who has endured to the end, this one shall be saved. And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another. For truly I say to you, You shall by no means finish the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is sufficient for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of
His household! Therefore do not fear them; for there is nothing covered which will not be revealed, and hidden which will not be made known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And not one of them will fall to the earth apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. Everyone therefore who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father who is in the heavens; But whoever will deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father who is in the heavens.); this is the narrow Way that leads to life (Matt. 7:13-14Matthew 7:13-14 - Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it.). This good pleasure of soul can and must be honored (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.). If the heart of God should "feel differently" on any matter, in Him is the Yes, through Him is the Amen to God (2 Cor. 1:20-222 Corinthians 1:20-22 - For as many promises of God as there are, in Him is the Yes; therefore also through Him is the Amen to God, for glory through us to God. But the One who firmly attaches us with you unto Christ and has anointed us is God, He who has also sealed us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.). The slave's response, as being obedient, is always "Amen" or "yes" to their Lord. And this is especially true when their heavenly Master says "no." "Amen, my Lord." The Lord saying "no" always (read this as...always check 2 out of the 3) turns out to be so easy, precious, and completely unpredictable. As a faithful slave of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can testify that usually, I just get to do what I want to do day to day. And to secretly suffer loss of enjoyment at your Masters beckoning and for your Master's sake–– ...well, our Lord suffered loss as He faithfully walked in obedience to the Father, so the company is good if one is hanging around in that place. We will follow our Master spontaneously as we consider one another in love under the light of the truth of the Gospel. When at the moment of choice, it is clearly realized by any faithful slave...uplifting sacrifice (loss) before the eyes of the saints with all the talk of sacrifice and teaching of sacrifice is useless. Teaching sacrifice (loss) does nothing but tempt the saints to deny (Matt. 26:33-35, 69-75Matthew 26:33-35, 69-75 - 33 Then Peter answered and said to Him, If all will be stumbled because of You, I will never be stumbled. Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that in this night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. Peter said to Him, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You. And all the disciples said likewise. 69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, You also were with Jesus the Galilean. But he denied it before all, saying, I do not know what you are talking about! And after he had gone out to the porch, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man! And after a little while those who were standing there came to Peter and said, Surely you also are one of them, for your speech also makes it clear that you are. Then he began to curse and to swear: I do not know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus has said, Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.; Mark 14:27-31, 66-72Mark 14:27-31, 66-72 - 27 And Jesus said to them, You will all be stumbled, because it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." But after I have been raised, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said to Him, Even if all will be stumbled, yet I will not! And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that today in this night, before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. But he went on speaking more intensely, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You! And they all said similarly. 66 And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, And seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus. But he denied it, saying, I neither know nor understand what you are talking about. And he went outside into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed. And the servant girl, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by, This man is one of them! But again he denied it. And after a little while, those standing by again said to Peter, Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean as well. But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak! And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus had said to him, Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And thinking upon it, he wept.; Luke 22:33-34, 54-62Luke 22:33-34, 54-62 - 33 And he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death. But He said, I tell you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me. 54 And having arrested Him, they led Him away, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. But Peter followed at a distance. And when they had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. And a certain servant girl, seeing him seated in the light of the fire, looked intently at him and said, This man was with Him too. But he denied it, saying, I do not know Him, woman. And after a short time, another person, seeing him, said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not! And after about one hour had passed, another one insisted, saying, Surely this man was also with Him, for he is also a Galilean. But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And instantly, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly.; John 13:37-38; 18:14-27John 13:37-38; 18:14-27 - 13:37 Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times. 18:14 Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, as well as another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest; But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door and brought Peter in. Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not. Now the slaves and the attendants were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The high priest then questioned Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and I spoke nothing in secret. Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard Me, concerning what I spoke to them; behold, these know what I said. And when He said these things, one of the attendants standing by slapped Jesus, saying, Is that how You answer the high priest? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken wrongly, testify concerning the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me? Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you not also one of His disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the slaves of the high priest, who was a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with Him? Then Peter denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed.) the Lord. What can the saints even do? They can only lose enjoyment when their Master says to them "no". What does teaching sacrifice (loss) accomplish? Rebellion. Honoring all revelation and practicality, the dominant force of understanding for the Christian notion of sacrifice should strongly align with feasting and enjoyment. Overemphasizing sacrifice (loss) to the saints tempts the slaves of the Lord to start playing the role of master (Phil. 2:5-8Philippians 2:5-8 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) with themselves whilst randomly selecting some God created, God honored, and basically God mandated pleasure of the soul to be denyed to themselves after having sent themselves on an unguided, soul, searching, strain-out-the-gnat tour of duty passing through all of the high places in the good land (their soul) for any frigg'n stick or stone pillar that can be earnestly bowed down to for a sugar pill demonstration to themselves of their devotion to God through suffering borne out of zeal (Rom. 10:2-3Romans 10:2-3 - For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full knowledge; For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness and sought to establish their own righteousness, they were not subject to the righteousness of God.; Gal. 1:14Galatians 1:14 - And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being more abundantly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.) but absent of revelation. With a swiftness, there should be zeal exercised unto repentance (Rev. 3:19Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore
and repent.) in all of these situations amongst the people of the Lord. When a slave of the Lord follows and honors their enjoyment of smoking a cigarette in their soul moment by moment and day by day, they are walking by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25Galatians 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25 - 16 But I say, Walk by the Spirit and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.). As laboring priest in the temple of their own body (John 2:20-21John 2:20-21 - Then the Jews said, This temple was built in forty-six years, and You will raise it up in three days? But He spoke of the temple of His body.), they do the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:581 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.; Matt. 10:10bMatthew 10:10b - For the worker is worthy of his food.; John 14:10John 14:10 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.; Rom 2:6-7Romans 2:6-7 - Who will render to each according to his works: To those who by endurance in good work seek glory and honor and incorruptibility, life eternal;), and they light up that cigarette...being faithful and obedient even unto death...and that the death of a cigarette. Our Lord, also, was a faithful and obedient slave (Phil. 2:8Philippians 2:8 - And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) of God. Disobeying God's commandments (i.e. dishonoring but especially denying (John 13:37-38John 13:37-38 - Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times.) one's own natural desires of the soul) can provoke the chastening of the Lord. Chastisement has various severities and, absent repentance, all can lead to discipline by fire and brimstone in outer darkness. What a saint under the chastening of the Lord can look like:
For example and brevity: "A-B-C-X-Y-Z." = I <3 smoking cigarettes!

Daily Prayers:
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z."
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" for the last time.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z"...last time...really.
The rebellion of the saint:
As a created being, the soul's naturally inclined sentiments of appreciation are a significant factor in a saint's realization of the will God for them. Indeed, all of the hopes of that saint in Christ will align with these their naturally created God given delights as part of the expected fulfillment of all of the promises of God. If the saint can faithfully keep God's commandments to them, which commandments are written upon their very heart, they will receive all of their hopes (Eph. 1:3-12Ephesians 1:3-12 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ.; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 1 Cor. 9:8-11, 131 Corinthians 9:8-11, 13 - 8 Am I speaking these things according to man? Or does the law not also say these things? For in the law of Moses it is written: "You shall not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain." Is it for oxen that God cares? Or does He say it altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written because the plowman should plow in hope, and he who threshes, in hope of partaking. If we have sown to you the spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap from you the fleshly things? 13 Do you not know that those who labor on the sacred things eat the things of the sacred temple, that those who attend to the alter have their portion with the alter?) or promised blessings. Today I purchase cigarettes, tomorrow, "stone become cigarette" (John 14:10-14John 14:10-14 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! Following blind guides under the influence of the teachings of Satan (1 Tim. 4:1-51 Timothy 4:1-5 - But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons By means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, of men who are branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron, Who forbid marriage and command abstaining from foods, which God has created to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if received with thanksgiving; For it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.; Rev. 2:12-17Revelation 2:12-17 - And to the messenger of the church in Pergamos write: These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name and have not denied My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, that you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol sacrifices and to
commit fornication. In the same way you also have some who hold in like manner the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Repent therefore; but if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of My mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and to him I will give a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.; 2:18-23Revelation 2:18-23 - And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like shining bronze: I know your works and love and faith and service and your endurance and that your last works are more than the first. But I have something against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and leads My slaves astray to commit fornication and to eat idol sacrifices. And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works; And her children I will kill with death; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the inward parts and the hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to
your works.), the saint is taught to appreciate "clean smoke free Christian living", and the saint enjoys eating sacrifice at the feet of this Asherah idol with other Christians of similar ilk. Now when this saint desires to smoke a cigarette according to their God created natural desires, the "clean living" Asherah idol with all of that saint's appreciation from enjoyment at sacrifice are insulted. The saint has sinned in the face of their Asherah idol and the deceitfulness (2 Thes. 2:8-122 Thessalonians 2:8-12 - And then the lawless one will be revealed (whom the Lord Jesus will slay by the breath of His mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of His coming), The coming of whom is according to Satan's operation in all power and signs and wonders of a lie And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might
be saved. And because of this God sends to them an operation of error that they might believe the lie, So that all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness might be judged.; Heb. 3:7-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.; John 8:1-11John 8:1-11 - But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst, They said to Him, Teacher, this woman has been caught committing adultery, in the very act. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say? But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and 1wrote with His finger on the ground. But when they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. And when they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the older ones. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman stood where she was, in the midst. And Jesus stood up and said to her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more. Footnote: 8:61 While the Holy Spirit sealed (or kept as a secret) the word of the Lord written in the dirt upon the ground here before the adulterous woman, before her accusers, and before the writer of this book of gospel, there is yet clear scriptural record of this hidden truth spoken openly by the Lord in His earthly ministry. This truth was able to muzzle the mouths of the accusing and unbelieving Jews in the days of our Lord, and this...now unsealed...speaking will have the same affect upon the unbelieving, the finger pointing, and the beating-their-fellow-slaves-and-drunk-with-the-blood-of-the-saints Christians today in 2023. What Jesus wrote upon the ground would have aligned very closely to the word spoken by the Lord (recorded in scripture) later in the gospel of John. According to the word of the Lord in John 9:39-41, if a saint sees sin in another (or in themselves!), this is equal to that saint (the accuser) still having that sin; I.e. an accuser is not forgiven by God of any sin they see in themselves or another. This is the deceitfulness of sin–– Therefore, those bringing accusation against the adulterous woman here in John 8...they still had their sin; they made it very clear that they saw sin in their Hebrew sister. And because the accusers still had their sin, they were not qualified to throw a single stone at the woman...as the Lord said when He stood up. "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Only the Lord Jesus, who saw no sin in the woman, was qualified to throw a stone at the woman, and the scriptural record indicates that the Lord did not condemn her to death. Neither will our heavenly Master condemn us, dear saints; His burden is easy, and His yoke is light. Furthermore, the woman was told to "go, and from now on sin no more." This was a command from the king of kings for the believing woman to simply live out her life...to simply honor the desires (the good pleasures) of her heart, to simply fear nothing, and...most importantly...to simply see no sin in herself! This woman walked out of the presence of the Lord as a believing Christian living in simplicity according to the two (2) pillars! All things are lawful; honor the good pleasures of your heart as commandment from God. This adulterous woman will be fucking forever...unlike most of the saints whose carcasses fell in the wilderness as they wandered aimlessly for forty years. According to the Bible, most Christians
(1 Cor. 10:5) will be made to be as eunuchs from God for the healing of the nations; most of the Christians will live forever in the kingdom of God as such...eunuchs who heal the basic and natural humans that are allowed live in the kingdom of God and which said humans comprise the totality of all the nations living in God's earthly kingdom for all eternity. This is the truth of the Gospel; this is the two (2) pillars. When a Christian points a finger and makes accusation against another or even against themselves (a house divided), that accusing saint still has their sin, and they will die in that sin when they stand before the Lord at His judgement seat. For with what judgement you judge, you shall be judged by God, and in what you judge another, you condemn yourself...to death. On a slightly more positive note, the scriptures hold record elsewhere of another woman "caught in promiscuity", and yet with very different results. In this other scene, the "adulterous" woman does not find herself surrounded by those with a thirst for the bloodshed of the saints (Rev. 17:6; 16:5-6; 18:23-24), does not find herself surrounded by those like the self righteous and unbelieving scribes and Pharisees who live as if their conscience is branded as with a hot iron (1 Tim. 4:2-3), and does not find herself surrounded by the unrighteous who only see trespasses and sins in their brethren (John 9:41). The "adulterous" woman in this other scene is shepherded unto life and much blessing (Luke 1:42-55) by
the righteous. When a Hebrew sister named Mary was found to be with child before she had come together with her husband, Joseph (Matt. 1:18), her husband did not drag her out by the hair and to the synagogue or to the temple in Jerusalem for judgement before the high priest and also for the subsequent stoning. Instead, Joseph sought to send his wife away in secret to thus spare her any public shame, spare her any additional embarrassment, and of course spare her from the judgement of death. Today in 2023, unfaithful spouses are shamefully and openly crucified with all fanfare and celebrity by Christians as standard issue, and the kings of the earth (human governments) get rich (Rev. 17:2; 18:3, 9) taking their money. This is a Babylonian business model that is permeated through and through with Asherah idol sacrifice (savage appreciation of fairytale white dress marriage ceremony). This is a business model that is powered by fornication (marriage contract violators are expected...even taught...to feel bad (Rev. 2:14, 20, 24)). And this is a business model that is promoted by Catholicism along with her
many daughters. The king of kings has judged this satanic system in its entirety, and He is returning soon (Matt. 24:15-22) in order to miserably kill all of these demonically influenced (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 10:19-20; 1 Tim. 4:1-5; Rev. 9:20-21; 18:2-3) and murderous people of Babylon with the sword of His mouth and to burn their city (Matt. 21:40-41; Luke 19:15, 27; Rev. 2:16; 19:15, 21; Matt. 22:7) to the ground. The New Testament...the covenant (legally binding and blood sealed contract) that Christians have with Jehovah...teaches and testifies to all Christians that the manner in which Joseph sought to handle his "unfaithful" wife, Mary, was a clear demonstration of righteousness as coming from a righteous saint (Matt. 1:19). And as a righteous saint, Joseph will hence be feasting and fucking forever. Any Christian that is seeking to have a testimony of righteousness before God and man will honor the testimony of this husband that is recorded in the Bible with their Christian life and with a healthy fear of the Lord God the Almighty presiding over
their heart. This is the testimony of the Gospel. Any Christian who expects to be fucking for all eternity surely has to do better than the unbelieving scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 5:20), lest the appointment of that Christians' portion be as with the hypocrites (Matt. 24:51), as with the unbelievers (Luke 12:46). In that place[outer darkness or lake of fire or the second death] there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. In that place, no rest will be found for the soul in waterless places (Matt. 12:43). This is because in waterless places (wherever there is land), the righteous and joyfully living people...the saints and the nations...are eating, drinking,...and fucking. Observation of and longings for this wedding feast enjoyment from the position of the lake of fire will trigger destruction within the souls that are under the authority of the second death. The souls of the saints that are in outer darkness will face destruction when their desires for participation are provoked by observation of the feasting and fucking in the 1,000 year millennium kingdom. Furthermore, it must be understood that both hell[death before the King's return] and the lake of fire[outer darkness or the second death after the return of the King in about 5 years] are right here on earth. The bodyless souls of men in these places (or rather...in these conditions of existence) are invisible to the living and even to the other dead, but the dead can talk to and hear each other. They have no bodies to be seen, nonetheless. So all of the dead unregenerate[not God's Old/New Testament people] and all of the sleeping saints are right here on earth with full access to travel anywhere, to see anything in their line of sight, and to hear everything from the surface of the moon, to the ISS in orbit, down to a submarine in the Mariana Trench. Understand that there are no secrets (Matt. 10:26). Every single human that has ever existed is still here, and they will always be here...no...matter...what...for...all...eternity. Only God's people amongst the living will ever have access to heaven in that day, however. Saints in outer darkness have to wait 1,000 years before that can go between heaven and earth at their own will. Most Christians, the eunuchs (sons of Gehenna), will have to wait 1,000 years before they are able to climb the heavenly ladder to go to heaven. The harlot and the tax collector will have been ascending and descending upon the Son of Man as the heavenly ladder for 1,000 years (and starting in about 5 years) by the time the workers of lawlessness (the broken cisterns which hold no water for the enjoyment of God and man (Jer. 2:12-13)) gain access to heaven (Matt. 21:28-32). In hell or hades, unbelievers[not God's people] hunger and thirst for the satisfaction of their hearts' desires (Luke 16:24-25) according to what they can see and hear in the living. From Adam and Eve until today, all of God's people in hell are resting in peace in Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22) and will be as such until the return of the King. The "bosom of Abraham" or "Paradise" (Luke 23:42-43) is a condition of comfort and rest for those who have completed their course in life and are chosen by God to be among God's people...even those chosen to live in His kingdom for all eternity. In the lake of fire, both the unbelievers (lasting for all eternity, and to start in 5 years for:
- the tares[fake christians (Matt. 13:24-30)],
- the antichrist (Rev. 19:20),
- the false prophet (Rev. 19:20),
- and the deceived modern-society-nations[the goats (Matt. 25:32-46)] who live to see Jesus return in about 5 years;
- and to start in just over 1,000 years for those not written in the book of life and already dead + the armies at Armageddon that Jesus will send to hell by speaking (Rev. 19:21)) and the lawless Christians (lasting for 1,000 years, and to start in about 5 years for most of the Christians) will all face the agony of the loss or destruction of their soul. In the lake of fire which burns with fire and brimstone (Rev. 14:9-11), when the desires of the heart are stirred up by what one can see and hear of the enjoyment of the living upon the surface of the earth, the agony of the destruction (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 3:3; Gal. 6:8; James 5:3; Col. 3:5-6) of the desires of the heart comes upon the soul like a flame to the flesh. In the kingdom of the heavens, there is an actual place, a literal Gehenna, that will begin to smoke as visible indication to the saints in heaven...even to the martyrs and faithful witnesses...of the torment of the souls of men (and eventually of Satan with his principalities, powers, and the demons) in the lake of fire. Once started, Gehenna will always have smoke ascending from it in heaven for all eternity. Today, Jan 31, 2023 @ 0645 hrs, there is no smoke in that place, called Gehenna, in heaven. There is no smoke because the lake of fire here on earth is currently empty; Soul occupancy = 0; smoke = 0. Soon, Gehenna in heaven will pop smoke, and the sons of Gehenna (Matt. 23:15)...which also includes all of the fear mongering 9/11 murderers and their children appointed by God to complete destruction...will be produced by God here on earth in the lake of fire. These workers of lawlessness (Matt. 7:23; 13:40-42) who, in 2011, came into apartment #305 on Marietta Street in Atlanta will comprise the most savagely FUBAR'd segment of the population of eternal eunuchs in the kingdom of the heavens ever to be produced by God our Father for the healing of the nations (Rev. 22:2) for all eternity. When these saints walk into the room, everyone will know they were in my apartment in 2011; everyone will know they fucked with the messeger to the church in Philadelphia towards and even through the end of the age of grace in 2023; everyone will know these are the Christians who picked the wrong nigger to fuck with. It is strongly indicated in scripture that all such workers may neither eat nor drink, as well; their only food may be to do the will of God (John 4:31-34), and rivers of living water come forth from their innermost being (John 7:38)...this may be their eternal drink. More than 50% of all Christians have been appointed by God to receive this portion (1 Cor. 10:5) of wrath from God. Furthemore and as prophesied by Jesus (Matt. 24:15), abominations coming out of the possessions of and supporting the political agendas of the desolator...these same 9/11 murders...with said desolation having been set to trample, set to come up against, and even set to satisfy legalities for the destruction of the holy temple, and as if that's not enough, with set resolve to hinder all priestly temple services, sacrifice (this shit is strictly personal), and oblation contained therein–– Which said holy temple...the vessel of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia (a veritable and God damned muther fucking badass community college negro from the south hailing from Atlanta, GA) is simultaneously being trampled and, by virtue and provocation of said trampling before the eyes of God the Father, is also commanding a special portion of complete destruction from God Himself for the desolator (the same fear mongering bloodshed 9/11 idiots mentioned above) and their children...as prophesied by Daniel the prophet (Dan. 9:17-27). This destruction is being stored up at this very moment and daily in 2023 for (and will be dispensed by God Himself personally to ALL) of the 9/11 conspirators (and those UK bombings wankers) and their spiritual children, even to the third and fourth generation (Exo. 20:5) of those who hate Jehovah. Says the messenger, J5: [earmuffs!] "I wish these ivy league PhDs would go home, get way more people and permission to waste another 12 years of the prime of my life; then come back and trample the outer court (the mortal body) of my temple (soul) with both feet. I'm most terribly bored and almost certainly...no...definitely...dying slowly from boredom and lack of any current or even a forseable challenge that I can use to muster up some feeling of excitement or anticipation. I have nothing to dream about. All of these muppets are dumb as fuck and soft like a napkin...in summary...they're just a bunch of academically juiced, scare mongering, story-telling pussies with nothing but organizational book smarts, with old age in spades, with the Catholic Pope's dick repeatedly getting jammed down their throat (absolutely no gagging––), and with an around-the-clock need to have their dusty ivy league PhD-umb asses wiped by this negro community college boy from Atlanta with an undergrad from state and a B-minus GPA. Gawd dammit...where's my friggin' beer!?! I can be piss freekin' drunk 24/7/365 and still hand this crowd-of-dunces-riff-raff-of-men their dusty flippin' asses every...God...damn...muther...lovin' day!! ...and this is all before my heavenly Master has even stepped up to the plate to have a swing at these chumps. YEAH, that's right, you suckers! I haven't even tagged my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into the ring yet, you fools! And I happen to know for a God-damned muther truckin' fact that my heavenly Father God in God-dawggit freekin' heaven above is absolutely and positively chomping at the bit to have just one round with your stuck up lil' miss fancy pants asses. At this point, I've taken like 12 years to go to town and back on a daily basis and all over your dumb ivy league asses. My God in heaven above...He only wants one day (Psa. 90:4; 2 Pet. 3:8). NOW GO GET WAY MORE PEOPLE SO I CAN TAG JESUS INTO THIS BITCH ON SOMETHING FRESH!! THIS OLD THING IS SLOPPY AND TIRED...Well, mainly sloppy... p.s. - Tell your girl I said hi...Just tell her I said, hello!" Like a cast-out-of-body and wandering demon in Satan's kingdom of darkness, the saint which took the teachings of demons from blind guides and then fell short of Joseph's testimony in caring for themself and others before the Lord...the saint that fell short of a testimony borne in righteousness...that saint will run like a demon to the middle of the South Pacific Ocean for their unclean spirit to brood over the deep, dark, and rolling waters in order to find rest for their soul (Mark 5:7-13). In that place, there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth for 1,000 years. The Lord's speaking, as recorded in John 9:39-41: And Jesus said, For judgement I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may
become blind. Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, We are not blind also, are we? Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now that you say, We see; your sin remains. ) of said transgression (there is no sin) then leads their heart into fornication. As the Lord wrote in the dirt, if you see sin, you have sin (John 8:6John 8:6 - But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote with His finger on the ground.; 9:41John 9:41 - Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; your sin remains.). Something that is NOT the Holy Spirit has pricked this Christian's conscience, telling them that they did wrong and have sinned before heaven and earth; this is spiritual fornication, and the wrath of God will come (Col. 3:6Colossians 3:6 - Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;) to destroy the offending desire from the soul. The good land will vomit this saint out (Lev. 18:1-5, 24-28Leviticus 18:1-5, 24-28 - 1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am Jehovah your God. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt; and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, nor shall you walk in their statutes. You shall observe My ordinances, and you shall keep My statutes to walk in them; I am Jehovah your God. So you shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, by which, if a man does them, he will live; I am Jehovah. 24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these things, for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have defiled themselves. Because the land has become defiled, I visited its iniquity upon it, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. You therefore shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native nor the sojourner who sojourns among you (For the men of the land who were before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled); That the land does not vomit you out when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation which was before you. For all who do any of these abominations, those persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore you shall keep My charge, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and you do not defile yourselves by them; I am Jehovah your God.) at the location in question and at every high place in the soul (Col. 3:5Colossians 3:5 - Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry.) where the saint has setup an Asherah or (and with the highest degree of certainty) a Baal (1 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-181 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-18 - 37 Answer me, O Jehovah; answer me, that this people may know that You, O Jehovah, are God and that You have turned their heart back again. And the fire of Jehovah fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. And when the people saw this, they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah––He is God! Jehovah––He is God! And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there. 45 And in the meantime the heavens became black with clouds, and there was wind and a great rain. And Ahab mounted his chariot and went to Jezreel. And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and all about how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, The gods do so to me and even more, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the life of one of them! And because he was afraid, he rose up and went away for his life; and he came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his attendant there. And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a certain broom shrub; and he requested for himself that he might die and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers. And he lay down and slept under the broom shrub. And suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, Rise up and eat. And he looked, and there at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time and touched him and said, Rise up and eat; for the journey is too great for you. And he rose up and ate and drank, and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. And there he went into a cave and lodged there. And at that time the word of Jehovah came to him; and He said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And He said, Go out, and stand upon the mountain before Jehovah. And suddenly Jehovah passed by, and a great, strong wind rent the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before Jehovah––Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake––Jehovah was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire––Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a gentle, quiet voice. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And then a voice came to him and said, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And Jehovah said to him, Go; return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you come there, anoint Hazael as king over Syria; And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint as king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. And him who escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and him who escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. Yet I have left Myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.). If the offending (offending to the dumb idol set up in the good land, a pillar stood up at a grand vista [a place with a good view] in the heart of the saint) desire of the saint is something like online pornography, then the wrath of God will come as the Spirit to sweep the soul of that saint unto destruction (Isa. 14:21-24Isaiah 14:21-24 - Prepare a slaughterhouse for his children
   Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
So that they do not rise up and possess the land,
   And fill the surface of the world with cities. And I will rise up against them,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts.
And I will cut off from Babylon name and remnant,
   And posterity and progeny, declares Jehovah.
And I will make it a possession for porcupines
   And muddied pools of water,
And I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts. Jehovah of hosts has sworn, saying,
Surely just as I conceived it, so has it happened;
   And just as I have purposed it, so shall this stand,) in the territory of the heart where the idol was setup...the territory that lead the saint one to appreciate pornography. Therefore, in the case of certain forms of idolatry such as fornication, passion, and evil[in the eyes of a pagan society] desire, discipline from God can produce an eternal eunuch (Matt. 19:12Matthew 19:12 - For there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who can accept it, let him accept it.). The prayers of the saint (above) indicate that there exists a certain delight within the soul of this Christian. The saint builds regularly at this place in their soul. Then the saint destroys what they built in confession (Gal. 2:18). Jesus, forgive me for doing
"A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again. The saint despises their God-given portion of the good land (their God created soul), and they hate their Creator (Exo. 20:5; Deut. 5:9-10). This is what Jezebel (Roman Catholicism and her many daughters) produces in God's people. This is rebellion. The chastisement from Jehovah:
In the Old Testament, the nations (Canaanites, Jebusites, Amorites, Moabites, etc. See Exo. 23:23 and footnotes, Recovery Version) represent different aspects of our natural life. When a saint brings idolatry and fornication into the promised good land (their heart) Jehovah will cause the sword from the pagan tribes in the land to rise up against them to dispossess them from off of the land...to bring them into slavery or captivity. If there is no repentance and return to the good land (honoring their whole heart) whilst breath is still in the lungs of that saint and before their Master's return, the high places in their portion of the good land (soul) which kept the idols will get destruction from the Spirit (Isa. 14:23; Luke 15:8-10; Col. 3:5-6) in outer darkness. Effectively the saint will have gotten evicted or vomited out of their own heart in the ressurection. The commandments of God written upon the heart of this dear saint, with all of their heart's natural or soulish delights included therein, have become the very instrument of this saint's destruction due to their disobedience unto the Lord. The saint in this example naturally likes smoking cigarettes, but then they brought idolatry into their heart, and set up a pillar unto Baal at that grand vista, high place, or splendid vantage point of the soul. Other high places of the soul...common Asherah and Baal worship locations in the good land...are mentioned in Col. 3:5. The Baal is for the protection of some kind of appreciation (Asherah) that was taught to the saint (Gen. 2:17). "Feeling good" about "clean smoke free Christian living" when you smoke cigarettes is to eat idol sacrifiice at the feet of an Asherah. This will result in fornication, and Catholicism teaches (Rev. 2:20) this rebellious and leavened shit to Christians as if it were clean, straight, and standard issue church doctrine. As chastisement, Jehovah then allowed the saint's God created natural (the pagan nations in the good land) desire for cigarettes to rise up against the saint provoking bouts of apparent loss of self control. Many apparent "transgressions" (Heb. 3:13; 2 Thes. 2:10) against a "clean smoke free Christian living" false god burst forth. This uprising of the saint's own natural desires for cigarettes also provoked many trespass offerings unto Jehovah at the alter in the outer court...but offerings that were without the Holy Spirit (laver). The laboring priest must first wash in the laver before offering sacrifice at the alter. See excerpt from the Life Study of ExodusLife Study of Exodus page 1672 - THE RESULT OF SERVING IN THE TABERNACLE WITHOUT FIRST WASHING IN THE LAVER When we pray to offer something to the Lord, we first need to wash our hands and even our feet in the laver. To come to the meeting to function is actually to come into the tabernacle to serve the Lord. Before we serve the Lord in the tabernacle, we need to wash. However, in the Christian life of many believers and in their service to God there does not seem to be a laver. When they come to the alter to make an offering to God, they have unclean hands. They may come into the church meetings and serve without washing their hands in the laver. This kind of service brings in death. This is the reason Exodus 30:21 says "Then they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die." We should be careful not to touch God's service unless we have first washed our hands in the laver. If we try to serve God in the tabernacle with unclean hands, we shall die, spiritually speaking. How much death there is among Christians today! The more they serve, the more death they have because they serve with unclean hands. Praying and serving with unclean hands brings in death. If we do not pray in the meetings or function, in a sense we may be somewhat living. But if we pray or function without washing in the laver, we shall bring death to ourselves and also spread death to others. Death is the result of our trying to pray or serve without washing in the laver. for more fellowship on the laver in Christian experience. In the example here (cigarettes), the Holy Spirit has not convicted a single soul, and the Holy Spirit has had nothing to do with any trespass offering unto the Lord. It is a "clean smoke free Christian living" dumb idol that is somehow lodging complaints. But idols don't speak (Psa. 38:13; Hab. 2:18; 1 Cor. 12:2). It is solely the uncircumcised heart of the dear fornicating saint making the accusations. There is no god, so there is actually no "physical" trespass. The "sin" here is an illusion, but sacrifice for forgiveness (this is called a trespass offering) at the alter unto Jehovah without the laver (Holy Spirit) is a sin unto death (Exo. 30:18-21). . For a laboring priest of Jehovah, a portion of food is often available from God for the priest's satisfaction and enjoyment through the ordinary course and fulfillment of the priestly duties. In the Old Testament, the animal sacrifices often provided meat for the offering priest and offerrer to eat after sacrificing to Jehovah. Now that the Lord is the Spirit (2 Cor 3:17) within the believers, when the prophet of Jehovah faithfully speaks the word of the Lord, the heavenly Master of the prophet can respond within the heart of the laboring priest with "AMEN!", which to the speaking prophet is truly a most satisfying meal to their soul (John 4:32-34). This is an example of the enjoyment of sacrifice for a priest in God's New Testament economy. When the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 3:9) uses advanced technology to trample the outer court (Rev. 11:1-2) of the temple (John 2:21)...perverting the mouth of the prophet away from speaking the word of the Lord, the heavenly Master of the prophet does not respond with "AMEN!" inside of the heart of the speaking saint. This deprives His own slave (Rev. 10:7) of food and the enjoyment of sacrifice; the sacrifice and enjoyment within the soul of the prophet has ceased. This is the precise method and manner of the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the ceasing of the sacrifice and the oblation recorded in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15). Sacrifice, as used here, (1) refers generally to the satisfaction, rest, and enjoyment of the soul obtained in the course of normal human living, and (2) refers specifically to the food or enjoyment received from doing the will of God our Father. Oftentimes, there is significant overlap betwixt the former and the latter...such as when going to a rave, when crushing a beer, or when leaving independent contractors at the strip club with no other option but to bring out the rakes. All of these forms of sacrifice and many more unmentioned have ceased in the living of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia to fulfill the Word of God at the end of this age. The vessel or soul of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia is the temple within which the abominations or the evil possessions (even intentions of heart) of the desolation (Matt. 24:15; see synagogue of Satan in Rev. 3:9) are slanderously established (or cast by shadow and illusion)...and all this whilst the testimony of the gospel of the kingdom is being preached with boldness, clarity, and wit to the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14). . But...just a grain of salt,...this may all seem so obvious to me simply because of where I am sitting. For a duration of +10 years (Q4 2011 –– Jan. 10, 2023 0926 hrs) now the desolation has been trampling the outer court and causing the sacrifice to cease in the temple...the body...of a particular saint,...the messenger to the church in Philadelphia. Death to the soul life for this length of time makes the fulfillment of this prophecy in Dan 9 and Matt 24 to be borne in the Spirit of martyrdom in full and proper measure (Rev. 2:10-11). And in fact, there may be many other saints also bearing the testimony of martyrdom under this +10 years running prophetic fulfillment of the desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. For more on the abomination of desolation spoken of here in Matt 24 and the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning both the ceasing of the sacrifice and the abominations of the desolator setup in the Holy Place, see Dan. 9:17-27, note 1Daniel 9:17-27 - And now hear, O our God, the prayer of Your servant and his supplications, and cause Your face to shine upon Your sanctuary that has been desolated, for the Lord's sake. O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city that is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You based upon any righteous doings that we have done, but based upon Your great compassion. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! Do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God; for Your city and Your people are called by Your own name. And while I was still speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God, Even while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, reached me in my utter exhaustion about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me and talked with me and said, Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications the command went forth, and I have come to tell you, for you are preciousness itself. Therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are apportioned for your people and for your holy city, to close the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make propitiation for iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Holy of Holies. Know therefore and comprehend: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the time of Messiah the Prince will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with street and trench, even in distressful times. And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing; and the people of the prince who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end of it will be a flood, and even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week; and in the middle of the week he will 1cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease and will replace the sacrifice and the oblation with abominations of the desolator, even until the complete destruction that has been determined is poured out upon the desolator. Footnote: 9:271 The fulfillment of the prophecies concerning both the ceasing of the sacrifice and the bringing in of the abominations of the desolator have transpired within the temple (John 2:19-21) or soul of a christian brother, the messenger to the church in Philadelphia, between Q4 2011 and 2023. For more on the messenger to the church in Philadelphia, see Rev. 3:7, note 1Revelation 3:7-13 - And to the 1messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says 2the Holy One, the true One, the One who has the key of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:
I know your 3works; behold, I have put before you an 4opened door which no one can shut, because you have a 5little power and have 6kept My word and have 7not denied My name. Behold, I will make 8those of the synagogue of Satan, those who call themselves Jews and are not, but lie––behold, I will cause them to come and fall prostrate before your feet and to know that I have loved you. 9Because you have kept the 10word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the 11hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth. 12I come quickly; 13hold fast what you have that no one take your crown. 14He who overcomes, him I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore, and I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Footnote: Note 1 The messenger of the church in Philadelphia to whom the Lord is speaking in this portion of John's Revelation is a Christian brother, prophet of Jehovah, and slave of our Lord Jesus Christ from Atlanta, Georgia, USA who is currently residing in the metro-atlanta area. The 43 years old Jonathan Paul Harris (a.k.a. '5', 'J5', or 'jony5', pronounced as "Johnny Five") is serving the Lord before both God and man at the end of this age to faithfully and openly bear this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom before the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14Matthew 24:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.). Saints, when God our heavenly Father sees fruit from this gospel preaching being borne in the hearts of men throughout all the nations (i.e. the hearts of the unregenerate or non-Christian have received this testimony), then the end (of the world or age) will come.
Through a door opened by the Lord (Rev. 3:8Revelation 3:8 - I know your works; behold, I have put before you an opened door which no one can shut, because you have a little power and have kept My word and have not denied My name.) in Q4 of 2011 and continuing until today, this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom is being borne by the messenger of the church in Philadelphia before all of God's people on the earth. When this word bears fruit in the hearts of the dear saints, the "40 years" (full measure of trials, tests, and sufferings, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 32:13Numbers 32:13 - And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation which had done evil in the sight of Jehovah was consumed.; Josh. 5:6Joshua 5:6 - For the children of Israel went for forty years through the wilderness until all the nation, the men of war who had come out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not listen to the voice of Jehovah, they to whom Jehovah swore that they would not see the land that Jehovah has sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.; Psa. 95:10-11Psalms 95:10-11 - For forty years I loathed that generation,
   And I said, They are a people who go astray in heart;
   And they do not know My ways;
Therefore I swore in My anger:
   They shall by no means enter into My rest!; Num. 14:35Numbers 14:35 - I, Jehovah, have spoken; surely I will do this to all this evil assembly who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.; Matt. 4:1-2Matthew 4:1-2 - Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He became hungry.) of God's people wandering in the wilderness where their corpses were being strewn along (Num. 14:29-30Numbers 14:29-30 - Your corpses shall fall in this wilderness, and none of you who were numbered, according to the number you counted from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, Shall come into the land, in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son Nun.; 1 Cor. 10:51 Corinthians 10:23 - But with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn along in the wilderness.) on account of their unbelief in God's word (Heb. 3:9-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.) will be over.
In fact and in practicality, this places the typological fulfillment of the Jordan River crossing of God's people (Num. 33:50-54Numbers 33:50-56 - Then Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and you shall destroy all their figured stones and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places; And you shall take possession of the land and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it. And you shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain of them will become as splinters in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you are dwelling. And just as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you.) as having started in Q2 of 2019 with the re-speaking (the deuteronomy) of the gospel on jony5.com where Christians were reminded of their blood-sealed and eternally binding covenant with Jehovah to keep the commandments of the Lord which are written upon their very heart of flesh (Ezek. 11:17-25Ezekiel 11:17-25 - Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. And they will come there and take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from it. And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, That they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them; and they will be My people, and I will be their God. But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their ways upon their heads, declares the Lord Jehovah. Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were next to them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain which is east of the city. And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to Chaldea, to the captives, in a vision by the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen went up from me. Then I told the captives all the things that Jehovah had shown me.; Jer. 31:33-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). And yet, many of God's people, lacking repentance (Rev. 2:21-22Revelation 2:21-22 - And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works;) and even rejecting this very revelation, will be measured by the Lord in that day, will be found by the Lord to be wanting, and will have thus fallen in the wilderness (Heb. 4:11Hebrews 4:11 - Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.) due to their unbelief in
God's word.
A new generation of God's people (even the children of those who are stumbling at the stone of stumbling, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 1 Pet. 2:7-81 Peter 2:7-8 - To you therefore who believe is the preciousness; but to the unbelieving, "The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner," And, "A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense"; who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.; Rom. 9:31-33Romans 9:31-33 - But Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not attain to that law. Why? Because they pursued it not out of faith, but as it were out of works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling, As it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense, and he who believes on Him shall not be put to shame."; 1 Cor. 1:23-251 Corinthians 1:22-25 - For indeed Jews require signs and Greeks seek wisdom, But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, But to those who 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.) will be the generation to enter into and to possess the good land, their own heart, with all boldness (Heb. 10:35Hebrews 10:35 - Do not cast away therefore your boldness, which has great reward.) according to all the promises of God. Saints, we are the "stone become bread" people...the "water become wine" peop...no...we are the "water become whiskey" people! We are the "stone become steamed 10 lb. lobster" people! We are the "stone become factory fresh Bugatti Chiron PUR Sport" people (John 14:12-14John 14:12-14 - Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! God our Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies to the praise of the glory of His grace (Eph. 1:3-14Ephesians 1:3-14 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.). This is our hope of glory laid up in the heavens (Col. 1:5Colossians 1:5 - Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,; 1:27Colossians 1:27 - To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,; 1 Pet. 1:3-51 Peter 1:3-5 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time.; 1:131 Peter 1:13 - Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.; Tit. 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb. 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; Heb. 10:23Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;). Jesus, our real Joshua (Heb. 4:8-16Hebrews 4:8-16 - For if Joshua had brought them into rest, He would not have spoken concerning another day after these things. So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His own. Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature that is not maifest before Him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we are to give our account. Having therefore a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin. Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may recieve mercy and find grace for timely help.), is now leading us to enter and to take the land, our heart...our eternal inheritance. A saint's good pleasure (Rom. 12:2Romans 12:2 - And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.; Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) to smoke a cigarette is the will of God or God's very commandment made known to them, as a faithful slave of God and laboring priest in the temple (John 2:21John 2:21 - But He spoke of the temple of His body.; Matt. 12:5Matthew 12:5 - Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?). Since they are a Christian and are thus enslaved to God (Rom. 6:22Romans 6:22 - But now, having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.), in order to faithfully satisfy the blood sealed and eternally effective (Heb. 9:14Hebrews 9:14 - How much more will the blood Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?) contract of their enslavement to righteousness (Rom. 6:18-19Romans 6:18-19 - And having been freed from sin, you were enslaved to righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.), they have no choice but to obey (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.; John 14:15, 20-21John 14:15, 20-21 - 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.) the will of God made known to them through their recognition of what is pleasurable or most delightful to their soul (2 Cor. 3:32 Corinthians 3:3 - Since you are being manifested that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone but in tablets of hearts of flesh.; Heb. 8:10Hebrews 8:10 - For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will impart My laws into their mind, and on their hearts I will inscribe them; and I will be God to them, and they will be a people to Me.; Jer. 31:31-34Jeremiah 31:31-34 - Indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.) which at this very moment and in this demonstration of a hope or of a spiritual blessing kept in the heavenlies (Eph. 1:3Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 8:16-17, 24-25Romans 8:16-17, 24-25 - 16 The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. And if children, heirs also; on the one hand, heirs of God; on the other, joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified with Him. 24 For we were saved in hope. But a hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it through endurance.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 2 Cor. 3:122 Corinthians 3:12 - Therefore since we have such hope, we use much boldness,; Gal. 5:5-6Galatians 5:5-6 - For we by the Spirit out of faith eagerly await the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith avails, operating
through love.; Eph. 1:9-14, 18-23Ephesians 1:9-14, 18-23 - 9 Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory. 18 The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength, Which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, Far above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come; And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.; Col. 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27Colossians 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27 - 5 Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, Which has come to you, even as it is also in all the world, bearing fruit and growing, as also in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God
in truth; 21 And you, though once alienated and enemies in your mind because of your evil works, He now has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and without reproach before Him; If indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a minister. 26 The mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations but now has been manifested to His saints; To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope
of glory,; 1 Thes. 1:2-31 Thessalonians 1:2-3 - We thank God always concerning all of you, making mention of you in our prayers, Remembering unceasingly your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;; 5:7-111 Thessalonians 5:7-11 - For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk are drunk during the night; But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us in order that whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with Him. Therefore comfort one another, and build up each one the other, even as you also do.; 2 Thes. 2:16-172 Thessalonians 2:16-17 - Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope in grace, Comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.; 1 Tim. 1:11 Timothy 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,; 6:171 Timothy 6:17 - Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;; Titus 1:1-3Titus 1:1-3 - Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's chosen ones and the full knowledge of the truth, which is according to godliness, In the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the times of the ages But in its own times manifested His word in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the command of our Savior God;; 2:11-15Titus 2:11-15 - For the grace of God, bringing salvation to all men, has appeared, Training us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age, Awaiting the blessed hope, even the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify to Himself a particular people as His unique possession, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort and convict with all authority. Let no one despise you.; 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; 6:17-20Hebrews 6:17-20 - Therefore God, intending to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His counsel, interposed with an oath, In order that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us, Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm and which enters within the veil, Where the Forerunner, Jesus, has entered for us, having become forever a High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.; 7:17-19Hebrews 7:17-19 - For it is testified, "You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." For there is, on the one hand, the setting aside of the preceding commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness (For the law perfected nothing), and, on the other hand, the bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as He was not made a Priest without the taking of an oath (For they are appointed priests without the taking of an oath, but He, with the taking of an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not regret it, You are a Priest forever"), By so much Jesus has also become the surety of a better covenant.; 10:21-23Hebrews 10:21-23 - And having a great Priest over the house of God, Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;; 11:1Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.; 1 Pet. 1:3-9, 13, 211 Peter 1:3-9, 13, 21 - 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time; In which time you exult, though for a little while at present, if it must be, you have been made sorrowful by various trials, So that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; Whom having not seen, you love; into whom though not seeing Him at present, yet believing, you exult with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of
your souls. 13 Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 21 Who through Him believe into God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.; 3:5-7, 14-221 Peter 3:5-7, 14-22 - 5 For in this manner formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands, As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children you have become, if you do good and do not fear any terror. Husbands, in like manner dwell together with them according to knowledge, as with the weaker, female vessel, assigning honor to them as also to fellow heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 14 But even if you suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not be afraid with fear from them, nor be troubled, But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you, Yet with meekness and fear, having a good conscience, so that in the manner in which you are spoken against, those who revile your good manner of life in Christ may be put
to shame. For it is better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also has suffered once for sins, the Righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, on the one hand being put to death in the flesh, but on the other, made alive in the Spirit; In which also He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, Who had formerly disobeyed when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared; entering into which, a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through
by water. Which water, as the antitype, also now saves you, that is, baptism, not a putting away of the filth of the flesh but the appeal of a good conscience unto God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to Him.; 1 John 3:1-101 John 3:1-10 - Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. Because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is. And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, even as He is pure. Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness also, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested that He might take away sins; and sin is not in Him. Everyone who abides in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him. Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who practices righteousness is righteous, even as He
is righteous; He who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Everyone who has been begotten of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten
of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest. Everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, neither he who does not love his brother.), kept in Christ for this particular saint...is lighting up a cigarette. For it is God who operates in that saint (1) to make His will manifest to them and (2) to affect the working out of His will in their life. This shit is always in alignment with the good pleasure (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) of one's soul; how can one fail under such a light burden? A saint always does what they want to do, and this is their "law." Our heavenly Master's burden is easy, and His yoke is light (Matt. 11:28-30Matthew 11:28-30 - Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.). If a saint has routine "failures," in daily life––. Saints, our vessel (Matt. 25:4, lit. soulMatthew 25:4 - But the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.) holds our person with its' God created natural delights (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) or what one may even call soulish pleasures, and our vessel also holds God the Father in Christ the Son as the Spirit with all of Their (Gen. 1:26Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.) delight and good pleasure (Eph. 1:9Ephesians 1:9 - Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself,). This makes the soul of the saint to be a container or vessel for a proper and tasty tea blend of the person of that saint and that of their Creator, God the Almighty, whom the saint formally addresses in their heart as Jesus Christ, the man. There is no need for formality, however. One can live by the feeling of the Lord in their soul and never mention or even consider His
name...His person. As the saint considers their feelings here and there throughout the day, they are kinda just sipping on this tea. If something tastes good to them, they will consider going that way; God's will is there. If it tastes bad, they turn away; the will of God for the path they walk in life is in this, too. Just believe it. Many times considerations result in or are unto enjoyment or pleasure for body and/or soul. Again, if you feel good about it ––,...and if you feel bad ––. The faithful slave sanctifies Christ Jesus as Lord in their heart (Jer. 24:7Jeremiah 24:7 - And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am Jehovah; and they will be My people, and I will be their God; for they will return to Me with their whole heart.; 1 Pet. 3:151 Peter 3:15 - But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you,), and then they honor God's commandments (Lev. 26:3-13Leviticus 26:3-13 - If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, Then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit. Indeed your threshing will overtake the vintage, and the vintage will overtake the sowing time. Thus you will eat your bread unto satisfaction and dwell securely in your land. And I will give you peace in the land, so that you will lie down and no one will make you afraid; and I will cause wild beasts to cease out of your land, and no sword will pass through your land. And you will chase your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. And five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; and your enemies will fall by the sword before you. And I will turn My face toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you. And you will eat the old supply long stored and will have to clear out the old because of the new. And I will set My tabernacle among you; and My soul will not abhor you. And I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright.; Deut. 4:1-2, 39-40Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 39-40 - 1 And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the ordinances which I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, is giving you. You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you. 39 Know therefore today and bring it to heart that Jehovah is God in heaven above and upon the earth below; there is no other. Therefore keep His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, so that you may extend your days upon the land which Jehovah your God is giving you forever.; 5:10, 29Deuteronomy 5:10, 29 - 10 Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 29 Oh that this heart of theirs would be in them always to fear Me and keep all My commandments so that it may go well with them and with their children forever!; 6:1-6, 16-25Deuteronomy 6:1-6, 16-25 - 1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God has commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land into which you are crossing over to possess; That you may fear Jehovah your God and keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life; and that your days may be extended. Therefore hear, O Israel, and be certain to do it, that it may go well with you and that you may be greatly increased, in a land flowing with milk and honey, even as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, promised you. Hear, O Israel, Jehovah is our God; Jehovah is one. And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I command you today, shall be upon your heart; 16 You shall not test Jehovah your God, as you tested Him at Massah. You shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and His testimonies and His statutes, which He has commanded you. And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah so that it may go well with you and you may enter and possess the good land, concerning which Jehovah swore to your fathers To drive out all your enemies from before you, as Jehovah has spoken. When your son asks you in the future, saying, What is the significance of the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Jehovah our God commanded you? Then you will say to your son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And Jehovah put forth before our eyes great and grievous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his house. Then He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, that He might give us the land which He swore to our fathers. And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes so that we would fear Jehovah our God for our good always and He would preserve us alive, as we are this day. And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 6:25Deuteronomy 6:25 - And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 7:9-26Deuteronomy 7:9-26 - Know therefore that it is Jehovah your God who is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and lovingkindness to the thousandth generation with those who love him and keep His commandments, But repays directly those who hate Him by destroying them. He will not be slow toward him who hates Him; He will repay him directly. Therefore you shall keep the commandment, and the statutes and the ordinances, which I am commanding you today to do. And it will be that because you listen to these ordinances, and keep them and do them, Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock, on the land which He swore to your fathers to give you. You will be more blessed than all other peoples; there will not be any barren male or female among you or among your animals. And Jehovah will remove every sickness from you, and none of the evil illnesses of Egypt, which you know about, will He put upon you; but He will give them to all who hate you. And you shall devour all the peoples which Jehovah your God is giving you; your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you. If you say in your heart, These nations are greater than I, how will I be able to dispossess them? You shall not be afraid of them; you must remember what Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt, The great trials that your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders, and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm with which Jehovah your God brought you out; so will Jehovah your God do to all the peoples whom you are afraid of. Furthermore, Jehovah your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and those who hide themselves from you are destroyed. You shall not be terrified of them, for Jehovah your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. And Jehovah your God will clear away these nations from before you little by little; you shall not devour all of them immediately, lest the beasts of the field multiply against you. But Jehovah your God will deliver them up before you and rout them utterly until they
are destroyed. And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under heaven; no man will be able to stand against you until you destroy them. The idols of their gods you shall burn with fire; you shall not desire the silver or gold upon them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God. And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, lest you become a cursed thing like it; you shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.; 8:1-10Deuteronomy 8:1-10 - The whole commandment which I am commanding you today, you shall keep and do, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers. And you shall remember all the way that Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness in order to humble you and test you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. And He humbled you and let you go hungry and fed you the manna, which you had never known nor your fathers had ever known, so that He might make you know that man lives not by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out from the mouth of Jehovah. Your clothing did not wear out from upon you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Jehovah your God was disciplining you; Therefore keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him. For Jehovah your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of waterbrooks, of springs and of fountains, flowing forth in valleys and in mountians; A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees with oil and of honey; A land in which you will eat bread without scarcity; you will not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and from whose mountains you can mine copper. And you shall eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless Jehovah your God for the good land which He has given you.; 11:1, 8-15, 22-28Deuteronomy 11:1, 8-15, 22-28 - 1 Therefore you shall love Jehovah your God and keep His charge and His statutes and His ordinances and His
commandments always. 8 Therefore you shall keep the whole commandment which I am commanding you today so that you may be strong and that you may go in and possess the land into which you are crossing over to possess, And so that you may extend your days upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. For the land which you are entering in to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you came forth, where you used to sow your seed and water by foot as in a vegetable garden. But the land into which you are crossing over to possess is a land of mountains and valleys; by virtue of heaven's rain, it drinks in water. It is a land which Jehovah your God cares for; always the eyes of Jehovah your God are upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. And if you are certain to listen to my commandments, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil. And I will put grass in your field for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. 22 For if you are certain to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him, Jehovah will dispossess all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads will be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the farmost sea will be your territory. No man will be able to stand against you; Jehovah your God will put the dread and fear of you upon all the land on which you tread, as He has spoken to you. See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: The blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today; And the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God and you turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after other gods whom you have not known.; 26:16-19Deuteronomy 26:16-19 - This day Jehovah your God is commanding you to do these statutes and ordinances; therefore you shall keep them and do them with all your heart and with all your soul. It is Jehovah whom you have today declared to be your God and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes and His commandments and His ordinances, and will listen to His voice. And it is Jehovah who has today declared you to be a people for His personal treasure, even as He promised you; and that you will keep all His commandments; And that He will set you high above all the nations which He has made, for praise and for a name and for honor; and that you will be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as He has spoken.; 28:1-14Deuteronomy 28:1-14 - And if you listen diligently to the voice of Jehovah your God and are certain to do all His commandments, which I am commanding you today, Jehovah your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth; And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you listen to the voice of Jehovah your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your animals, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. Jehovah will cause your enemies, who rise up against you, to be struck down before you; on one road they will come out against you, but on seven roads they will flee before you. Jehovah will command the blessing upon you in your storehouses and in all your undertakings; and He will bless you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you. Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in His ways. And all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by Jehovah's name, and they will be afraid of you. And Jehovah will give you an excess of prosperity in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your animals and in the fruit of your ground, upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you. Jehovah will open up to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give rain for your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings. And you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. And Jehovah will make you the head and not the tail, and you will tend only upward, and you will not tend downward, if you will listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today to keep and to do. And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.; 30:11-20Deuteronomy 30:11-20 - For this commandment which I am commanding you today, it is not too difficult for you, nor is it distant. It is not in heaven that you should say, Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? Nor is it across the sea that you should say, Who will go across the sea for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? But the word is very near to you, even in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have put before you today life and good, and death and evil. If you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and walk in His ways and keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you will live and multiply, and Jehovah your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns and you do not listen, but rather you are drawn away in worship to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish; your days will not be extended upon the land into which you are crossing over the Jordan to go and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life that you and your seed may live, In loving Jehovah your God by listening to His voice and holding fast to Him; for He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell upon the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Issac, and to Jacob, to give them.; Exo. 15:26Exodus 15:26 - And He said, If you will listen carefully to the voice of Jehovah your God and do what is right in His eyes and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who heals you.; 1 Kings 8:54-661 Kings 8:54-66 - And when Solomon has finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he rose up from before the alter of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward the heavens. And he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. Not one word of all His good promises which He spoke through Moses His servant has failed. May Jehovah our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; let Him not forsake us nor abandon us, That He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers. And let these words of mine, with which I made supplication to Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night to maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel as each day requires; That all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God; there is none else. Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments as on this day. And the king and all Israel with Him offered sacrifices before Jehovah. And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. Thus the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah. On that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings because the bronze alter which was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings. And Solomon held a feast at that time and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven more days, fourteen days in all. On the eight day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king and went to their tents joyful and happy in heart for all the goodness which Jehovah had shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.; Neh. 1:1-11Nehemiah 1:1-11 - The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa the capital, Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and some men from Judah; and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who were left from the captivity, and about Jerusalem. And they said to me, The remnant who are left from the captivity there in the province are in an exceedingly bad state and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates have been burned with fire. And when I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and I mourned for some days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, And I said, I beseech You, O Jehovah the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep His commandments: Let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now day and night, concerning the children of Israel, Your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel that we have sinned against You. Indeed, I and the house of my father have sinned; We have been most corrupt toward You and have not kept the commandments and the statutes and the ordinances that You commanded Moses Your servant. Remember now the word that You commanded Moses Your servant, saying, If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; But if you return to Me and keep My commandments and perform them, though your outcasts are under the ends of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell. Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand. I beseech You, O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayer of Your servants, who take delight in fearing Your name; and cause Your servant to prosper today, and grant him to find compassion before this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.) which are written upon the very same (Jer. 31:31-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - Indeed days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). This is what Jehovah says is to "love the Lord your God" (Dan. 9:4Daniel 9:4 - And I prayed to Jehovah my God and confessed; and I said, Ah, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep
His commandments,; Gen. 26:4-5Genesis 26:4-5 - And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and will give to your seed all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, Because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.; Exo. 20:6Exodus 20:6 - Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.). Can anyone guess what hatred of God looks like to Jehovah? Next question...who throws away their child's best porno mag? As a Christian, as a slave of God, there is a blood sealed contractual obligation for one to honor their God created God given natural desires according to the terms of peace (Luke 14:31-32Luke 14:31-32 - Or what king, going to engage another king in war, will not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? Otherwise, while he is yet at a distance, he sends an envoy and asks for the terms of peace.), and there should also be a desire to "NOT be put to shame" before their Master in heaven above (Phil. 1:20Philippians 1:20 - According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.) and before so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us (Heb. 12:1Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, put away every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and run with endurance the race which is set before us,). Being a proper slave of God will definitely make a Christian to be salty to God (Matt. 5:13Matthew 5:13 - You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has become tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything except to be cast out and trampled underfoot by men.; Mark 9:50Mark 9:50 - Salt is good, but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you restore its saltiness? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another.; Luke 14:34-35Luke 14:34-35 - Therefore salt is good; but if even the salt becomes tasteless, with what will its saltiness be restored? It is fit neither for the land nor for the manure pile; they will throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.)...lots of flavor! In complete ignorance and with no instructions save the teaching of the Anointing, I applied this truth perfectly as a young single college brother in 2003 (now Jan. 23, 2023). After 20 years of living in this truth...people, at a glance, think that I am a criminal (or a rapper). Christian living during the apostolic period of church history (A.D. 33–100) left many saints dead or imprisoned as criminals. So, I think I can say I am living (and am here teaching) the perfect carbon copy of a pure and apostolically sourced Christian living,...with exceptions being on account of maybe the internet existing and the popularity of human rights...oh yeah, and we have penicillin. Hey, don't knock it; penicillin is the next best thing to having a son of God with leaves in your midst (Rev. 22:2Revelation 22:2 - And on this side and on that side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations.). This is the truth of the Gospel which the saints guarded as a secret in the midst of those most violent and pagan days (Matt. 10:16-33Matthew 10:16-33 - Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore prudent as serpents and guileless as doves. And beware of men, for they will deliver you up to sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. And you will also be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you should speak, for it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; For you are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is the One speaking in you. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death. And you will be hated by all because of My name. But he who has endured to the end, this one shall be saved. And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another. For truly I say to you, You shall by no means finish the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is sufficient for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of
His household! Therefore do not fear them; for there is nothing covered which will not be revealed, and hidden which will not be made known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And not one of them will fall to the earth apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. Everyone therefore who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father who is in the heavens; But whoever will deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father who is in the heavens.); this is the narrow Way that leads to life (Matt. 7:13-14Matthew 7:13-14 - Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it.). This good pleasure of soul can and must be honored (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.). If the heart of God should "feel differently" on any matter, in Him is the Yes, through Him is the Amen to God (2 Cor. 1:20-222 Corinthians 1:20-22 - For as many promises of God as there are, in Him is the Yes; therefore also through Him is the Amen to God, for glory through us to God. But the One who firmly attaches us with you unto Christ and has anointed us is God, He who has also sealed us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.). The slave's response, as being obedient, is always "Amen" or "yes" to their Lord. And this is especially true when their heavenly Master says "no." "Amen, my Lord." The Lord saying "no" always (read this as...always check 2 out of the 3) turns out to be so easy, precious, and completely unpredictable. As a faithful slave of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can testify that usually, I just get to do what I want to do day to day. And to secretly suffer loss of enjoyment at your Masters beckoning and for your Master's sake–– ...well, our Lord suffered loss as He faithfully walked in obedience to the Father, so the company is good if one is hanging around in that place. We will follow our Master spontaneously as we consider one another in love under the light of the truth of the Gospel. When at the moment of choice, it is clearly realized by any faithful slave...uplifting sacrifice (loss) before the eyes of the saints with all the talk of sacrifice and teaching of sacrifice is useless. Teaching sacrifice (loss) does nothing but tempt the saints to deny (Matt. 26:33-35, 69-75Matthew 26:33-35, 69-75 - 33 Then Peter answered and said to Him, If all will be stumbled because of You, I will never be stumbled. Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that in this night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. Peter said to Him, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You. And all the disciples said likewise. 69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, You also were with Jesus the Galilean. But he denied it before all, saying, I do not know what you are talking about! And after he had gone out to the porch, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man! And after a little while those who were standing there came to Peter and said, Surely you also are one of them, for your speech also makes it clear that you are. Then he began to curse and to swear: I do not know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus has said, Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.; Mark 14:27-31, 66-72Mark 14:27-31, 66-72 - 27 And Jesus said to them, You will all be stumbled, because it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." But after I have been raised, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said to Him, Even if all will be stumbled, yet I will not! And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that today in this night, before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. But he went on speaking more intensely, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You! And they all said similarly. 66 And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, And seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus. But he denied it, saying, I neither know nor understand what you are talking about. And he went outside into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed. And the servant girl, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by, This man is one of them! But again he denied it. And after a little while, those standing by again said to Peter, Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean as well. But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak! And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus had said to him, Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And thinking upon it, he wept.; Luke 22:33-34, 54-62Luke 22:33-34, 54-62 - 33 And he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death. But He said, I tell you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me. 54 And having arrested Him, they led Him away, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. But Peter followed at a distance. And when they had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. And a certain servant girl, seeing him seated in the light of the fire, looked intently at him and said, This man was with Him too. But he denied it, saying, I do not know Him, woman. And after a short time, another person, seeing him, said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not! And after about one hour had passed, another one insisted, saying, Surely this man was also with Him, for he is also a Galilean. But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And instantly, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly.; John 13:37-38; 18:14-27John 13:37-38; 18:14-27 - 13:37 Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times. 18:14 Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, as well as another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest; But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door and brought Peter in. Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not. Now the slaves and the attendants were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The high priest then questioned Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and I spoke nothing in secret. Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard Me, concerning what I spoke to them; behold, these know what I said. And when He said these things, one of the attendants standing by slapped Jesus, saying, Is that how You answer the high priest? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken wrongly, testify concerning the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me? Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you not also one of His disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the slaves of the high priest, who was a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with Him? Then Peter denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed.) the Lord. What can the saints even do? They can only lose enjoyment when their Master says to them "no". What does teaching sacrifice (loss) accomplish? Rebellion. Honoring all revelation and practicality, the dominant force of understanding for the Christian notion of sacrifice should strongly align with feasting and enjoyment. Overemphasizing sacrifice (loss) to the saints tempts the slaves of the Lord to start playing the role of master (Phil. 2:5-8Philippians 2:5-8 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) with themselves whilst randomly selecting some God created, God honored, and basically God mandated pleasure of the soul to be denyed to themselves after having sent themselves on an unguided, soul, searching, strain-out-the-gnat tour of duty passing through all of the high places in the good land (their soul) for any frigg'n stick or stone pillar that can be earnestly bowed down to for a sugar pill demonstration to themselves of their devotion to God through suffering borne out of zeal (Rom. 10:2-3Romans 10:2-3 - For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full knowledge; For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness and sought to establish their own righteousness, they were not subject to the righteousness of God.; Gal. 1:14Galatians 1:14 - And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being more abundantly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.) but absent of revelation. With a swiftness, there should be zeal exercised unto repentance (Rev. 3:19Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore
and repent.) in all of these situations amongst the people of the Lord. When a slave of the Lord follows and honors their enjoyment of smoking a cigarette in their soul moment by moment and day by day, they are walking by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25Galatians 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25 - 16 But I say, Walk by the Spirit and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.). As laboring priest in the temple of their own body (John 2:20-21John 2:20-21 - Then the Jews said, This temple was built in forty-six years, and You will raise it up in three days? But He spoke of the temple of His body.), they do the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:581 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.; Matt. 10:10bMatthew 10:10b - For the worker is worthy of his food.; John 14:10John 14:10 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.; Rom 2:6-7Romans 2:6-7 - Who will render to each according to his works: To those who by endurance in good work seek glory and honor and incorruptibility, life eternal;), and they light up that cigarette...being faithful and obedient even unto death...and that the death of a cigarette. Our Lord, also, was a faithful and obedient slave (Phil. 2:8Philippians 2:8 - And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) of God. Disobeying God's commandments (i.e. dishonoring but especially denying (John 13:37-38John 13:37-38 - Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times.) one's own natural desires of the soul) can provoke the chastening of the Lord. Chastisement has various severities and, absent repentance, all can lead to discipline by fire and brimstone in outer darkness. What a saint under the chastening of the Lord can look like:
For example and brevity: "A-B-C-X-Y-Z." = I <3 smoking cigarettes!

Daily Prayers:
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z."
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" for the last time.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z"...last time...really.
The rebellion of the saint:
As a created being, the soul's naturally inclined sentiments of appreciation are a significant factor in a saint's realization of the will God for them. Indeed, all of the hopes of that saint in Christ will align with these their naturally created God given delights as part of the expected fulfillment of all of the promises of God. If the saint can faithfully keep God's commandments to them, which commandments are written upon their very heart, they will receive all of their hopes (Eph. 1:3-12Ephesians 1:3-12 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ.; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 1 Cor. 9:8-11, 131 Corinthians 9:8-11, 13 - 8 Am I speaking these things according to man? Or does the law not also say these things? For in the law of Moses it is written: "You shall not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain." Is it for oxen that God cares? Or does He say it altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written because the plowman should plow in hope, and he who threshes, in hope of partaking. If we have sown to you the spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap from you the fleshly things? 13 Do you not know that those who labor on the sacred things eat the things of the sacred temple, that those who attend to the alter have their portion with the alter?) or promised blessings. Today I purchase cigarettes, tomorrow, "stone become cigarette" (John 14:10-14John 14:10-14 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! Following blind guides under the influence of the teachings of Satan (1 Tim. 4:1-51 Timothy 4:1-5 - But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons By means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, of men who are branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron, Who forbid marriage and command abstaining from foods, which God has created to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if received with thanksgiving; For it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.; Rev. 2:12-17Revelation 2:12-17 - And to the messenger of the church in Pergamos write: These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name and have not denied My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, that you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol sacrifices and to
commit fornication. In the same way you also have some who hold in like manner the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Repent therefore; but if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of My mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and to him I will give a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.; 2:18-23Revelation 2:18-23 - And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like shining bronze: I know your works and love and faith and service and your endurance and that your last works are more than the first. But I have something against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and leads My slaves astray to commit fornication and to eat idol sacrifices. And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works; And her children I will kill with death; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the inward parts and the hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to
your works.), the saint is taught to appreciate "clean smoke free Christian living", and the saint enjoys eating sacrifice at the feet of this Asherah idol with other Christians of similar ilk. Now when this saint desires to smoke a cigarette according to their God created natural desires, the "clean living" Asherah idol with all of that saint's appreciation from enjoyment at sacrifice are insulted. The saint has sinned in the face of their Asherah idol and the deceitfulness (2 Thes. 2:8-122 Thessalonians 2:8-12 - And then the lawless one will be revealed (whom the Lord Jesus will slay by the breath of His mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of His coming), The coming of whom is according to Satan's operation in all power and signs and wonders of a lie And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might
be saved. And because of this God sends to them an operation of error that they might believe the lie, So that all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness might be judged.; Heb. 3:7-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.; John 8:1-11John 8:1-11 - But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst, They said to Him, Teacher, this woman has been caught committing adultery, in the very act. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say? But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and 1wrote with His finger on the ground. But when they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. And when they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the older ones. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman stood where she was, in the midst. And Jesus stood up and said to her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more. Footnote: 8:61 While the Holy Spirit sealed (or kept as a secret) the word of the Lord written in the dirt upon the ground here before the adulterous woman, before her accusers, and before the writer of this book of gospel, there is yet clear scriptural record of this hidden truth spoken openly by the Lord in His earthly ministry. This truth was able to muzzle the mouths of the accusing and unbelieving Jews in the days of our Lord, and this...now unsealed...speaking will have the same affect upon the unbelieving, the finger pointing, and the beating-their-fellow-slaves-and-drunk-with-the-blood-of-the-saints Christians today in 2023. What Jesus wrote upon the ground would have aligned very closely to the word spoken by the Lord (recorded in scripture) later in the gospel of John. According to the word of the Lord in John 9:39-41, if a saint sees sin in another (or in themselves!), this is equal to that saint (the accuser) still having that sin; I.e. an accuser is not forgiven by God of any sin they see in themselves or another. This is the deceitfulness of sin–– Therefore, those bringing accusation against the adulterous woman here in John 8...they still had their sin; they made it very clear that they saw sin in their Hebrew sister. And because the accusers still had their sin, they were not qualified to throw a single stone at the woman...as the Lord said when He stood up. "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Only the Lord Jesus, who saw no sin in the woman, was qualified to throw a stone at the woman, and the scriptural record indicates that the Lord did not condemn her to death. Neither will our heavenly Master condemn us, dear saints; His burden is easy, and His yoke is light. Furthermore, the woman was told to "go, and from now on sin no more." This was a command from the king of kings for the believing woman to simply live out her life...to simply honor the desires (the good pleasures) of her heart, to simply fear nothing, and...most importantly...to simply see no sin in herself! This woman walked out of the presence of the Lord as a believing Christian living in simplicity according to the two (2) pillars! All things are lawful; honor the good pleasures of your heart as commandment from God. This adulterous woman will be fucking forever...unlike most of the saints whose carcasses fell in the wilderness as they wandered aimlessly for forty years. According to the Bible, most Christians
(1 Cor. 10:5) will be made to be as eunuchs from God for the healing of the nations; most of the Christians will live forever in the kingdom of God as such...eunuchs who heal the basic and natural humans that are allowed live in the kingdom of God and which said humans comprise the totality of all the nations living in God's earthly kingdom for all eternity. This is the truth of the Gospel; this is the two (2) pillars. When a Christian points a finger and makes accusation against another or even against themselves (a house divided), that accusing saint still has their sin, and they will die in that sin when they stand before the Lord at His judgement seat. For with what judgement you judge, you shall be judged by God, and in what you judge another, you condemn yourself...to death. On a slightly more positive note, the scriptures hold record elsewhere of another woman "caught in promiscuity", and yet with very different results. In this other scene, the "adulterous" woman does not find herself surrounded by those with a thirst for the bloodshed of the saints (Rev. 17:6; 16:5-6; 18:23-24), does not find herself surrounded by those like the self righteous and unbelieving scribes and Pharisees who live as if their conscience is branded as with a hot iron (1 Tim. 4:2-3), and does not find herself surrounded by the unrighteous who only see trespasses and sins in their brethren (John 9:41). The "adulterous" woman in this other scene is shepherded unto life and much blessing (Luke 1:42-55) by
the righteous. When a Hebrew sister named Mary was found to be with child before she had come together with her husband, Joseph (Matt. 1:18), her husband did not drag her out by the hair and to the synagogue or to the temple in Jerusalem for judgement before the high priest and also for the subsequent stoning. Instead, Joseph sought to send his wife away in secret to thus spare her any public shame, spare her any additional embarrassment, and of course spare her from the judgement of death. Today in 2023, unfaithful spouses are shamefully and openly crucified with all fanfare and celebrity by Christians as standard issue, and the kings of the earth (human governments) get rich (Rev. 17:2; 18:3, 9) taking their money. This is a Babylonian business model that is permeated through and through with Asherah idol sacrifice (savage appreciation of fairytale white dress marriage ceremony). This is a business model that is powered by fornication (marriage contract violators are expected...even taught...to feel bad (Rev. 2:14, 20, 24)). And this is a business model that is promoted by Catholicism along with her
many daughters. The king of kings has judged this satanic system in its entirety, and He is returning soon (Matt. 24:15-22) in order to miserably kill all of these demonically influenced (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 10:19-20; 1 Tim. 4:1-5; Rev. 9:20-21; 18:2-3) and murderous people of Babylon with the sword of His mouth and to burn their city (Matt. 21:40-41; Luke 19:15, 27; Rev. 2:16; 19:15, 21; Matt. 22:7) to the ground. The New Testament...the covenant (legally binding and blood sealed contract) that Christians have with Jehovah...teaches and testifies to all Christians that the manner in which Joseph sought to handle his "unfaithful" wife, Mary, was a clear demonstration of righteousness as coming from a righteous saint (Matt. 1:19). And as a righteous saint, Joseph will hence be feasting and fucking forever. Any Christian that is seeking to have a testimony of righteousness before God and man will honor the testimony of this husband that is recorded in the Bible with their Christian life and with a healthy fear of the Lord God the Almighty presiding over
their heart. This is the testimony of the Gospel. Any Christian who expects to be fucking for all eternity surely has to do better than the unbelieving scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 5:20), lest the appointment of that Christians' portion be as with the hypocrites (Matt. 24:51), as with the unbelievers (Luke 12:46). In that place[outer darkness or lake of fire or the second death] there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. In that place, no rest will be found for the soul in waterless places (Matt. 12:43). This is because in waterless places (wherever there is land), the righteous and joyfully living people...the saints and the nations...are eating, drinking,...and fucking. Observation of and longings for this wedding feast enjoyment from the position of the lake of fire will trigger destruction within the souls that are under the authority of the second death. The souls of the saints that are in outer darkness will face destruction when their desires for participation are provoked by observation of the feasting and fucking in the 1,000 year millennium kingdom. Furthermore, it must be understood that both hell[death before the King's return] and the lake of fire[outer darkness or the second death after the return of the King in about 5 years] are right here on earth. The bodyless souls of men in these places (or rather...in these conditions of existence) are invisible to the living and even to the other dead, but the dead can talk to and hear each other. They have no bodies to be seen, nonetheless. So all of the dead unregenerate[not God's Old/New Testament people] and all of the sleeping saints are right here on earth with full access to travel anywhere, to see anything in their line of sight, and to hear everything from the surface of the moon, to the ISS in orbit, down to a submarine in the Mariana Trench. Understand that there are no secrets (Matt. 10:26). Every single human that has ever existed is still here, and they will always be here...no...matter...what...for...all...eternity. Only God's people amongst the living will ever have access to heaven in that day, however. Saints in outer darkness have to wait 1,000 years before that can go between heaven and earth at their own will. Most Christians, the eunuchs (sons of Gehenna), will have to wait 1,000 years before they are able to climb the heavenly ladder to go to heaven. The harlot and the tax collector will have been ascending and descending upon the Son of Man as the heavenly ladder for 1,000 years (and starting in about 5 years) by the time the workers of lawlessness (the broken cisterns which hold no water for the enjoyment of God and man (Jer. 2:12-13)) gain access to heaven (Matt. 21:28-32). In hell or hades, unbelievers[not God's people] hunger and thirst for the satisfaction of their hearts' desires (Luke 16:24-25) according to what they can see and hear in the living. From Adam and Eve until today, all of God's people in hell are resting in peace in Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22) and will be as such until the return of the King. The "bosom of Abraham" or "Paradise" (Luke 23:42-43) is a condition of comfort and rest for those who have completed their course in life and are chosen by God to be among God's people...even those chosen to live in His kingdom for all eternity. In the lake of fire, both the unbelievers (lasting for all eternity, and to start in 5 years for:
- the tares[fake christians (Matt. 13:24-30)],
- the antichrist (Rev. 19:20),
- the false prophet (Rev. 19:20),
- and the deceived modern-society-nations[the goats (Matt. 25:32-46)] who live to see Jesus return in about 5 years;
- and to start in just over 1,000 years for those not written in the book of life and already dead + the armies at Armageddon that Jesus will send to hell by speaking (Rev. 19:21)) and the lawless Christians (lasting for 1,000 years, and to start in about 5 years for most of the Christians) will all face the agony of the loss or destruction of their soul. In the lake of fire which burns with fire and brimstone (Rev. 14:9-11), when the desires of the heart are stirred up by what one can see and hear of the enjoyment of the living upon the surface of the earth, the agony of the destruction (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 3:3; Gal. 6:8; James 5:3; Col. 3:5-6) of the desires of the heart comes upon the soul like a flame to the flesh. In the kingdom of the heavens, there is an actual place, a literal Gehenna, that will begin to smoke as visible indication to the saints in heaven...even to the martyrs and faithful witnesses...of the torment of the souls of men (and eventually of Satan with his principalities, powers, and the demons) in the lake of fire. Once started, Gehenna will always have smoke ascending from it in heaven for all eternity. Today, Jan 31, 2023 @ 0645 hrs, there is no smoke in that place, called Gehenna, in heaven. There is no smoke because the lake of fire here on earth is currently empty; Soul occupancy = 0; smoke = 0. Soon, Gehenna in heaven will pop smoke, and the sons of Gehenna (Matt. 23:15)...which also includes all of the fear mongering 9/11 murderers and their children appointed by God to complete destruction...will be produced by God here on earth in the lake of fire. These workers of lawlessness (Matt. 7:23; 13:40-42) who, in 2011, came into apartment #305 on Marietta Street in Atlanta will comprise the most savagely FUBAR'd segment of the population of eternal eunuchs in the kingdom of the heavens ever to be produced by God our Father for the healing of the nations (Rev. 22:2) for all eternity. When these saints walk into the room, everyone will know they were in my apartment in 2011; everyone will know they fucked with the messeger to the church in Philadelphia towards and even through the end of the age of grace in 2023; everyone will know these are the Christians who picked the wrong nigger to fuck with. It is strongly indicated in scripture that all such workers may neither eat nor drink, as well; their only food may be to do the will of God (John 4:31-34), and rivers of living water come forth from their innermost being (John 7:38)...this may be their eternal drink. More than 50% of all Christians have been appointed by God to receive this portion (1 Cor. 10:5) of wrath from God. Furthemore and as prophesied by Jesus (Matt. 24:15), abominations coming out of the possessions of and supporting the political agendas of the desolator...these same 9/11 murders...with said desolation having been set to trample, set to come up against, and even set to satisfy legalities for the destruction of the holy temple, and as if that's not enough, with set resolve to hinder all priestly temple services, sacrifice (this shit is strictly personal), and oblation contained therein–– Which said holy temple...the vessel of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia (a veritable and God damned muther fucking badass community college negro from the south hailing from Atlanta, GA) is simultaneously being trampled and, by virtue and provocation of said trampling before the eyes of God the Father, is also commanding a special portion of complete destruction from God Himself for the desolator (the same fear mongering bloodshed 9/11 idiots mentioned above) and their children...as prophesied by Daniel the prophet (Dan. 9:17-27). This destruction is being stored up at this very moment and daily in 2023 for (and will be dispensed by God Himself personally to ALL) of the 9/11 conspirators (and those UK bombings wankers) and their spiritual children, even to the third and fourth generation (Exo. 20:5) of those who hate Jehovah. Says the messenger, J5: [earmuffs!] "I wish these ivy league PhDs would go home, get way more people and permission to waste another 12 years of the prime of my life; then come back and trample the outer court (the mortal body) of my temple (soul) with both feet. I'm most terribly bored and almost certainly...no...definitely...dying slowly from boredom and lack of any current or even a forseable challenge that I can use to muster up some feeling of excitement or anticipation. I have nothing to dream about. All of these muppets are dumb as fuck and soft like a napkin...in summary...they're just a bunch of academically juiced, scare mongering, story-telling pussies with nothing but organizational book smarts, with old age in spades, with the Catholic Pope's dick repeatedly getting jammed down their throat (absolutely no gagging––), and with an around-the-clock need to have their dusty ivy league PhD-umb asses wiped by this negro community college boy from Atlanta with an undergrad from state and a B-minus GPA. Gawd dammit...where's my friggin' beer!?! I can be piss freekin' drunk 24/7/365 and still hand this crowd-of-dunces-riff-raff-of-men their dusty flippin' asses every...God...damn...muther...lovin' day!! ...and this is all before my heavenly Master has even stepped up to the plate to have a swing at these chumps. YEAH, that's right, you suckers! I haven't even tagged my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into the ring yet, you fools! And I happen to know for a God-damned muther truckin' fact that my heavenly Father God in God-dawggit freekin' heaven above is absolutely and positively chomping at the bit to have just one round with your stuck up lil' miss fancy pants asses. At this point, I've taken like 12 years to go to town and back on a daily basis and all over your dumb ivy league asses. My God in heaven above...He only wants one day (Psa. 90:4; 2 Pet. 3:8). NOW GO GET WAY MORE PEOPLE SO I CAN TAG JESUS INTO THIS BITCH ON SOMETHING FRESH!! THIS OLD THING IS SLOPPY AND TIRED...Well, mainly sloppy... p.s. - Tell your girl I said hi...Just tell her I said, hello!" Like a cast-out-of-body and wandering demon in Satan's kingdom of darkness, the saint which took the teachings of demons from blind guides and then fell short of Joseph's testimony in caring for themself and others before the Lord...the saint that fell short of a testimony borne in righteousness...that saint will run like a demon to the middle of the South Pacific Ocean for their unclean spirit to brood over the deep, dark, and rolling waters in order to find rest for their soul (Mark 5:7-13). In that place, there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth for 1,000 years. The Lord's speaking, as recorded in John 9:39-41: And Jesus said, For judgement I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may
become blind. Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, We are not blind also, are we? Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now that you say, We see; your sin remains. ) of said transgression (there is no sin) then leads their heart into fornication. As the Lord wrote in the dirt, if you see sin, you have sin (John 8:6John 8:6 - But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote with His finger on the ground.; 9:41John 9:41 - Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; your sin remains.). Something that is NOT the Holy Spirit has pricked this Christian's conscience, telling them that they did wrong and have sinned before heaven and earth; this is spiritual fornication, and the wrath of God will come (Col. 3:6Colossians 3:6 - Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;) to destroy the offending desire from the soul. The good land will vomit this saint out (Lev. 18:1-5, 24-28Leviticus 18:1-5, 24-28 - 1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am Jehovah your God. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt; and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, nor shall you walk in their statutes. You shall observe My ordinances, and you shall keep My statutes to walk in them; I am Jehovah your God. So you shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, by which, if a man does them, he will live; I am Jehovah. 24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these things, for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have defiled themselves. Because the land has become defiled, I visited its iniquity upon it, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. You therefore shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native nor the sojourner who sojourns among you (For the men of the land who were before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled); That the land does not vomit you out when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation which was before you. For all who do any of these abominations, those persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore you shall keep My charge, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and you do not defile yourselves by them; I am Jehovah your God.) at the location in question and at every high place in the soul (Col. 3:5Colossians 3:5 - Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry.) where the saint has setup an Asherah or (and with the highest degree of certainty) a Baal (1 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-181 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-18 - 37 Answer me, O Jehovah; answer me, that this people may know that You, O Jehovah, are God and that You have turned their heart back again. And the fire of Jehovah fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. And when the people saw this, they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah––He is God! Jehovah––He is God! And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there. 45 And in the meantime the heavens became black with clouds, and there was wind and a great rain. And Ahab mounted his chariot and went to Jezreel. And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and all about how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, The gods do so to me and even more, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the life of one of them! And because he was afraid, he rose up and went away for his life; and he came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his attendant there. And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a certain broom shrub; and he requested for himself that he might die and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers. And he lay down and slept under the broom shrub. And suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, Rise up and eat. And he looked, and there at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time and touched him and said, Rise up and eat; for the journey is too great for you. And he rose up and ate and drank, and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. And there he went into a cave and lodged there. And at that time the word of Jehovah came to him; and He said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And He said, Go out, and stand upon the mountain before Jehovah. And suddenly Jehovah passed by, and a great, strong wind rent the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before Jehovah––Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake––Jehovah was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire––Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a gentle, quiet voice. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And then a voice came to him and said, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And Jehovah said to him, Go; return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you come there, anoint Hazael as king over Syria; And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint as king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. And him who escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and him who escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. Yet I have left Myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.). If the offending (offending to the dumb idol set up in the good land, a pillar stood up at a grand vista [a place with a good view] in the heart of the saint) desire of the saint is something like online pornography, then the wrath of God will come as the Spirit to sweep the soul of that saint unto destruction (Isa. 14:21-24Isaiah 14:21-24 - Prepare a slaughterhouse for his children
   Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
So that they do not rise up and possess the land,
   And fill the surface of the world with cities. And I will rise up against them,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts.
And I will cut off from Babylon name and remnant,
   And posterity and progeny, declares Jehovah.
And I will make it a possession for porcupines
   And muddied pools of water,
And I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts. Jehovah of hosts has sworn, saying,
Surely just as I conceived it, so has it happened;
   And just as I have purposed it, so shall this stand,) in the territory of the heart where the idol was setup...the territory that lead the saint one to appreciate pornography. Therefore, in the case of certain forms of idolatry such as fornication, passion, and evil[in the eyes of a pagan society] desire, discipline from God can produce an eternal eunuch (Matt. 19:12Matthew 19:12 - For there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who can accept it, let him accept it.). The prayers of the saint (above) indicate that there exists a certain delight within the soul of this Christian. The saint builds regularly at this place in their soul. Then the saint destroys what they built in confession (Gal. 2:18). Jesus, forgive me for doing
"A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again. The saint despises their God-given portion of the good land (their God created soul), and they hate their Creator (Exo. 20:5; Deut. 5:9-10). This is what Jezebel (Roman Catholicism and her many daughters) produces in God's people. This is rebellion. The chastisement from Jehovah:
In the Old Testament, the nations (Canaanites, Jebusites, Amorites, Moabites, etc. See Exo. 23:23 and footnotes, Recovery Version) represent different aspects of our natural life. When a saint brings idolatry and fornication into the promised good land (their heart) Jehovah will cause the sword from the pagan tribes in the land to rise up against them to dispossess them from off of the land...to bring them into slavery or captivity. If there is no repentance and return to the good land (honoring their whole heart) whilst breath is still in the lungs of that saint and before their Master's return, the high places in their portion of the good land (soul) which kept the idols will get destruction from the Spirit (Isa. 14:23; Luke 15:8-10; Col. 3:5-6) in outer darkness. Effectively the saint will have gotten evicted or vomited out of their own heart in the ressurection. The commandments of God written upon the heart of this dear saint, with all of their heart's natural or soulish delights included therein, have become the very instrument of this saint's destruction due to their disobedience unto the Lord. The saint in this example naturally likes smoking cigarettes, but then they brought idolatry into their heart, and set up a pillar unto Baal at that grand vista, high place, or splendid vantage point of the soul. Other high places of the soul...common Asherah and Baal worship locations in the good land...are mentioned in Col. 3:5. The Baal is for the protection of some kind of appreciation (Asherah) that was taught to the saint (Gen. 2:17). "Feeling good" about "clean smoke free Christian living" when you smoke cigarettes is to eat idol sacrifiice at the feet of an Asherah. This will result in fornication, and Catholicism teaches (Rev. 2:20) this rebellious and leavened shit to Christians as if it were clean, straight, and standard issue church doctrine. As chastisement, Jehovah then allowed the saint's God created natural (the pagan nations in the good land) desire for cigarettes to rise up against the saint provoking bouts of apparent loss of self control. Many apparent "transgressions" (Heb. 3:13; 2 Thes. 2:10) against a "clean smoke free Christian living" false god burst forth. This uprising of the saint's own natural desires for cigarettes also provoked many trespass offerings unto Jehovah at the alter in the outer court...but offerings that were without the Holy Spirit (laver). The laboring priest must first wash in the laver before offering sacrifice at the alter. See excerpt from the Life Study of ExodusLife Study of Exodus page 1672 - THE RESULT OF SERVING IN THE TABERNACLE WITHOUT FIRST WASHING IN THE LAVER When we pray to offer something to the Lord, we first need to wash our hands and even our feet in the laver. To come to the meeting to function is actually to come into the tabernacle to serve the Lord. Before we serve the Lord in the tabernacle, we need to wash. However, in the Christian life of many believers and in their service to God there does not seem to be a laver. When they come to the alter to make an offering to God, they have unclean hands. They may come into the church meetings and serve without washing their hands in the laver. This kind of service brings in death. This is the reason Exodus 30:21 says "Then they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die." We should be careful not to touch God's service unless we have first washed our hands in the laver. If we try to serve God in the tabernacle with unclean hands, we shall die, spiritually speaking. How much death there is among Christians today! The more they serve, the more death they have because they serve with unclean hands. Praying and serving with unclean hands brings in death. If we do not pray in the meetings or function, in a sense we may be somewhat living. But if we pray or function without washing in the laver, we shall bring death to ourselves and also spread death to others. Death is the result of our trying to pray or serve without washing in the laver. for more fellowship on the laver in Christian experience. In the example here (cigarettes), the Holy Spirit has not convicted a single soul, and the Holy Spirit has had nothing to do with any trespass offering unto the Lord. It is a "clean smoke free Christian living" dumb idol that is somehow lodging complaints. But idols don't speak (Psa. 38:13; Hab. 2:18; 1 Cor. 12:2). It is solely the uncircumcised heart of the dear fornicating saint making the accusations. There is no god, so there is actually no "physical" trespass. The "sin" here is an illusion, but sacrifice for forgiveness (this is called a trespass offering) at the alter unto Jehovah without the laver (Holy Spirit) is a sin unto death (Exo. 30:18-21). . For a laboring priest of Jehovah, a portion of food is often available from God for the priest's satisfaction and enjoyment through the ordinary course and fulfillment of the priestly duties. In the Old Testament, the animal sacrifices often provided meat for the offering priest and offerrer to eat after sacrificing to Jehovah. Now that the Lord is the Spirit (2 Cor 3:17) within the believers, when the prophet of Jehovah faithfully speaks the word of the Lord, the heavenly Master of the prophet can respond within the heart of the laboring priest with "AMEN!", which to the speaking prophet is truly a most satisfying meal to their soul (John 4:32-34). This is an example of the enjoyment of sacrifice for a priest in God's New Testament economy. When the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 3:9) uses advanced technology to trample the outer court (Rev. 11:1-2) of the temple (John 2:21)...perverting the mouth of the prophet away from speaking the word of the Lord, the heavenly Master of the prophet does not respond with "AMEN!" inside of the heart of the speaking saint. This deprives His own slave (Rev. 10:7) of food and the enjoyment of sacrifice; the sacrifice and enjoyment within the soul of the prophet has ceased. This is the precise method and manner of the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the ceasing of the sacrifice and the oblation recorded in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15). Sacrifice, as used here, (1) refers generally to the satisfaction, rest, and enjoyment of the soul obtained in the course of normal human living, and (2) refers specifically to the food or enjoyment received from doing the will of God our Father. Oftentimes, there is significant overlap betwixt the former and the latter...such as when going to a rave, when crushing a beer, or when leaving independent contractors at the strip club with no other option but to bring out the rakes. All of these forms of sacrifice and many more unmentioned have ceased in the living of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia to fulfill the Word of God at the end of this age. The vessel or soul of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia is the temple within which the abominations or the evil possessions (even intentions of heart) of the desolation (Matt. 24:15; see synagogue of Satan in Rev. 3:9) are slanderously established (or cast by shadow and illusion)...and all this whilst the testimony of the gospel of the kingdom is being preached with boldness, clarity, and wit to the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14). . See Note 1 on Rev. 3:7-13Revelation 3:7-13 - And to the 1messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says 2the Holy One, the true One, the One who has the key of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:
I know your 3works; behold, I have put before you an 4opened door which no one can shut, because you have a 5little power and have 6kept My word and have 7not denied My name. Behold, I will make 8those of the synagogue of Satan, those who call themselves Jews and are not, but lie––behold, I will cause them to come and fall prostrate before your feet and to know that I have loved you. 9Because you have kept the 10word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the 11hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth. 12I come quickly; 13hold fast what you have that no one take your crown. 14He who overcomes, him I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore, and I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Footnote: Note 1 The messenger of the church in Philadelphia to whom the Lord is speaking in this portion of John's Revelation is a Christian brother, prophet of Jehovah, and slave of our Lord Jesus Christ from Atlanta, Georgia, USA who is currently residing in the metro-atlanta area. The 43 years old Jonathan Paul Harris (a.k.a. '5', 'J5', or 'jony5', pronounced as "Johnny Five") is serving the Lord before both God and man at the end of this age to faithfully and openly bear this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom before the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14Matthew 24:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.). Saints, when God our heavenly Father sees fruit from this gospel preaching being borne in the hearts of men throughout all the nations (i.e. the hearts of the unregenerate or non-Christian have received this testimony), then the end (of the world or age) will come.
Through a door opened by the Lord (Rev. 3:8Revelation 3:8 - I know your works; behold, I have put before you an opened door which no one can shut, because you have a little power and have kept My word and have not denied My name.) in Q4 of 2011 and continuing until today, this testimony of the gospel of the kingdom is being borne by the messenger of the church in Philadelphia before all of God's people on the earth. When this word bears fruit in the hearts of the dear saints, the "40 years" (full measure of trials, tests, and sufferings, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 32:13Numbers 32:13 - And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation which had done evil in the sight of Jehovah was consumed.; Josh. 5:6Joshua 5:6 - For the children of Israel went for forty years through the wilderness until all the nation, the men of war who had come out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not listen to the voice of Jehovah, they to whom Jehovah swore that they would not see the land that Jehovah has sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.; Psa. 95:10-11Psalms 95:10-11 - For forty years I loathed that generation,
   And I said, They are a people who go astray in heart;
   And they do not know My ways;
Therefore I swore in My anger:
   They shall by no means enter into My rest!; Num. 14:35Numbers 14:35 - I, Jehovah, have spoken; surely I will do this to all this evil assembly who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.; Matt. 4:1-2Matthew 4:1-2 - Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He became hungry.) of God's people wandering in the wilderness where their corpses were being strewn along (Num. 14:29-30Numbers 14:29-30 - Your corpses shall fall in this wilderness, and none of you who were numbered, according to the number you counted from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, Shall come into the land, in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son Nun.; 1 Cor. 10:51 Corinthians 10:23 - But with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn along in the wilderness.) on account of their unbelief in God's word (Heb. 3:9-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.) will be over.
In fact and in practicality, this places the typological fulfillment of the Jordan River crossing of God's people (Num. 33:50-54Numbers 33:50-56 - Then Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and you shall destroy all their figured stones and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places; And you shall take possession of the land and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it. And you shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain of them will become as splinters in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you are dwelling. And just as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you.) as having started in Q2 of 2019 with the re-speaking (the deuteronomy) of the gospel on jony5.com where Christians were reminded of their blood-sealed and eternally binding covenant with Jehovah to keep the commandments of the Lord which are written upon their very heart of flesh (Ezek. 11:17-25Ezekiel 11:17-25 - Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. And they will come there and take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from it. And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, That they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them; and they will be My people, and I will be their God. But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their ways upon their heads, declares the Lord Jehovah. Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were next to them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain which is east of the city. And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to Chaldea, to the captives, in a vision by the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen went up from me. Then I told the captives all the things that Jehovah had shown me.; Jer. 31:33-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). And yet, many of God's people, lacking repentance (Rev. 2:21-22Revelation 2:21-22 - And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works;) and even rejecting this very revelation, will be measured by the Lord in that day, will be found by the Lord to be wanting, and will have thus fallen in the wilderness (Heb. 4:11Hebrews 4:11 - Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.) due to their unbelief in
God's word.
A new generation of God's people (even the children of those who are stumbling at the stone of stumbling, see Num. 14:31Numbers 14:31 - But your little ones, whom you said would become plunder, I will bring in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.; 1 Pet. 2:7-81 Peter 2:7-8 - To you therefore who believe is the preciousness; but to the unbelieving, "The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner," And, "A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense"; who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.; Rom. 9:31-33Romans 9:31-33 - But Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not attain to that law. Why? Because they pursued it not out of faith, but as it were out of works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling, As it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense, and he who believes on Him shall not be put to shame."; 1 Cor. 1:23-251 Corinthians 1:22-25 - For indeed Jews require signs and Greeks seek wisdom, But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, But to those who 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.) will be the generation to enter into and to possess the good land, their own heart, with all boldness (Heb. 10:35Hebrews 10:35 - Do not cast away therefore your boldness, which has great reward.) according to all the promises of God. Saints, we are the "stone become bread" people...the "water become wine" peop...no...we are the "water become whiskey" people! We are the "stone become steamed 10 lb. lobster" people! We are the "stone become factory fresh Bugatti Chiron PUR Sport" people (John 14:12-14John 14:12-14 - Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! God our Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies to the praise of the glory of His grace (Eph. 1:3-14Ephesians 1:3-14 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.). This is our hope of glory laid up in the heavens (Col. 1:5Colossians 1:5 - Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,; 1:27Colossians 1:27 - To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,; 1 Pet. 1:3-51 Peter 1:3-5 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time.; 1:131 Peter 1:13 - Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.; Tit. 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb. 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; Heb. 10:23Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;). Jesus, our real Joshua (Heb. 4:8-16Hebrews 4:8-16 - For if Joshua had brought them into rest, He would not have spoken concerning another day after these things. So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His own. Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature that is not maifest before Him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we are to give our account. Having therefore a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin. Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may recieve mercy and find grace for timely help.), is now leading us to enter and to take the land, our heart...our eternal inheritance. A saint's good pleasure (Rom. 12:2Romans 12:2 - And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.; Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) to smoke a cigarette is the will of God or God's very commandment made known to them, as a faithful slave of God and laboring priest in the temple (John 2:21John 2:21 - But He spoke of the temple of His body.; Matt. 12:5Matthew 12:5 - Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?). Since they are a Christian and are thus enslaved to God (Rom. 6:22Romans 6:22 - But now, having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.), in order to faithfully satisfy the blood sealed and eternally effective (Heb. 9:14Hebrews 9:14 - How much more will the blood Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?) contract of their enslavement to righteousness (Rom. 6:18-19Romans 6:18-19 - And having been freed from sin, you were enslaved to righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.), they have no choice but to obey (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.; John 14:15, 20-21John 14:15, 20-21 - 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.) the will of God made known to them through their recognition of what is pleasurable or most delightful to their soul (2 Cor. 3:32 Corinthians 3:3 - Since you are being manifested that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone but in tablets of hearts of flesh.; Heb. 8:10Hebrews 8:10 - For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will impart My laws into their mind, and on their hearts I will inscribe them; and I will be God to them, and they will be a people to Me.; Jer. 31:31-34Jeremiah 31:31-34 - Indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.) which at this very moment and in this demonstration of a hope or of a spiritual blessing kept in the heavenlies (Eph. 1:3Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 8:16-17, 24-25Romans 8:16-17, 24-25 - 16 The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. And if children, heirs also; on the one hand, heirs of God; on the other, joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified with Him. 24 For we were saved in hope. But a hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it through endurance.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 2 Cor. 3:122 Corinthians 3:12 - Therefore since we have such hope, we use much boldness,; Gal. 5:5-6Galatians 5:5-6 - For we by the Spirit out of faith eagerly await the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith avails, operating
through love.; Eph. 1:9-14, 18-23Ephesians 1:9-14, 18-23 - 9 Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ. In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory. 18 The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength, Which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, Far above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come; And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.; Col. 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27Colossians 1:5-6, 21-23, 26-27 - 5 Because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, Which has come to you, even as it is also in all the world, bearing fruit and growing, as also in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God
in truth; 21 And you, though once alienated and enemies in your mind because of your evil works, He now has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and without reproach before Him; If indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a minister. 26 The mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations but now has been manifested to His saints; To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope
of glory,; 1 Thes. 1:2-31 Thessalonians 1:2-3 - We thank God always concerning all of you, making mention of you in our prayers, Remembering unceasingly your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;; 5:7-111 Thessalonians 5:7-11 - For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk are drunk during the night; But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us in order that whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with Him. Therefore comfort one another, and build up each one the other, even as you also do.; 2 Thes. 2:16-172 Thessalonians 2:16-17 - Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope in grace, Comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.; 1 Tim. 1:11 Timothy 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,; 6:171 Timothy 6:17 - Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;; Titus 1:1-3Titus 1:1-3 - Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's chosen ones and the full knowledge of the truth, which is according to godliness, In the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the times of the ages But in its own times manifested His word in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the command of our Savior God;; 2:11-15Titus 2:11-15 - For the grace of God, bringing salvation to all men, has appeared, Training us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age, Awaiting the blessed hope, even the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify to Himself a particular people as His unique possession, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort and convict with all authority. Let no one despise you.; 3:7Titus 3:7 - In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.; Heb 3:6Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house, whose house we are if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.; 6:17-20Hebrews 6:17-20 - Therefore God, intending to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His counsel, interposed with an oath, In order that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us, Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm and which enters within the veil, Where the Forerunner, Jesus, has entered for us, having become forever a High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.; 7:17-19Hebrews 7:17-19 - For it is testified, "You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." For there is, on the one hand, the setting aside of the preceding commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness (For the law perfected nothing), and, on the other hand, the bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as He was not made a Priest without the taking of an oath (For they are appointed priests without the taking of an oath, but He, with the taking of an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not regret it, You are a Priest forever"), By so much Jesus has also become the surety of a better covenant.; 10:21-23Hebrews 10:21-23 - And having a great Priest over the house of God, Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope unwavering, for He who has promised is faithful;; 11:1Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.; 1 Pet. 1:3-9, 13, 211 Peter 1:3-9, 13, 21 - 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time; In which time you exult, though for a little while at present, if it must be, you have been made sorrowful by various trials, So that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; Whom having not seen, you love; into whom though not seeing Him at present, yet believing, you exult with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of
your souls. 13 Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 21 Who through Him believe into God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.; 3:5-7, 14-221 Peter 3:5-7, 14-22 - 5 For in this manner formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands, As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children you have become, if you do good and do not fear any terror. Husbands, in like manner dwell together with them according to knowledge, as with the weaker, female vessel, assigning honor to them as also to fellow heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 14 But even if you suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not be afraid with fear from them, nor be troubled, But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you, Yet with meekness and fear, having a good conscience, so that in the manner in which you are spoken against, those who revile your good manner of life in Christ may be put
to shame. For it is better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also has suffered once for sins, the Righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, on the one hand being put to death in the flesh, but on the other, made alive in the Spirit; In which also He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, Who had formerly disobeyed when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared; entering into which, a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through
by water. Which water, as the antitype, also now saves you, that is, baptism, not a putting away of the filth of the flesh but the appeal of a good conscience unto God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to Him.; 1 John 3:1-101 John 3:1-10 - Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. Because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is. And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, even as He is pure. Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness also, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested that He might take away sins; and sin is not in Him. Everyone who abides in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him. Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who practices righteousness is righteous, even as He
is righteous; He who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Everyone who has been begotten of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten
of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest. Everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, neither he who does not love his brother.), kept in Christ for this particular saint...is lighting up a cigarette. For it is God who operates in that saint (1) to make His will manifest to them and (2) to affect the working out of His will in their life. This shit is always in alignment with the good pleasure (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) of one's soul; how can one fail under such a light burden? A saint always does what they want to do, and this is their "law." Our heavenly Master's burden is easy, and His yoke is light (Matt. 11:28-30Matthew 11:28-30 - Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.). If a saint has routine "failures," in daily life––. Saints, our vessel (Matt. 25:4, lit. soulMatthew 25:4 - But the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.) holds our person with its' God created natural delights (Phil. 2:13Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure.) or what one may even call soulish pleasures, and our vessel also holds God the Father in Christ the Son as the Spirit with all of Their (Gen. 1:26Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.) delight and good pleasure (Eph. 1:9Ephesians 1:9 - Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself,). This makes the soul of the saint to be a container or vessel for a proper and tasty tea blend of the person of that saint and that of their Creator, God the Almighty, whom the saint formally addresses in their heart as Jesus Christ, the man. There is no need for formality, however. One can live by the feeling of the Lord in their soul and never mention or even consider His
name...His person. As the saint considers their feelings here and there throughout the day, they are kinda just sipping on this tea. If something tastes good to them, they will consider going that way; God's will is there. If it tastes bad, they turn away; the will of God for the path they walk in life is in this, too. Just believe it. Many times considerations result in or are unto enjoyment or pleasure for body and/or soul. Again, if you feel good about it ––,...and if you feel bad ––. The faithful slave sanctifies Christ Jesus as Lord in their heart (Jer. 24:7Jeremiah 24:7 - And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am Jehovah; and they will be My people, and I will be their God; for they will return to Me with their whole heart.; 1 Pet. 3:151 Peter 3:15 - But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, being always ready for a defense to everyone who asks of you an account concerning the hope which is in you,), and then they honor God's commandments (Lev. 26:3-13Leviticus 26:3-13 - If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, Then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit. Indeed your threshing will overtake the vintage, and the vintage will overtake the sowing time. Thus you will eat your bread unto satisfaction and dwell securely in your land. And I will give you peace in the land, so that you will lie down and no one will make you afraid; and I will cause wild beasts to cease out of your land, and no sword will pass through your land. And you will chase your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. And five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; and your enemies will fall by the sword before you. And I will turn My face toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you. And you will eat the old supply long stored and will have to clear out the old because of the new. And I will set My tabernacle among you; and My soul will not abhor you. And I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright.; Deut. 4:1-2, 39-40Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 39-40 - 1 And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the ordinances which I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, is giving you. You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you. 39 Know therefore today and bring it to heart that Jehovah is God in heaven above and upon the earth below; there is no other. Therefore keep His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, so that you may extend your days upon the land which Jehovah your God is giving you forever.; 5:10, 29Deuteronomy 5:10, 29 - 10 Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 29 Oh that this heart of theirs would be in them always to fear Me and keep all My commandments so that it may go well with them and with their children forever!; 6:1-6, 16-25Deuteronomy 6:1-6, 16-25 - 1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God has commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land into which you are crossing over to possess; That you may fear Jehovah your God and keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life; and that your days may be extended. Therefore hear, O Israel, and be certain to do it, that it may go well with you and that you may be greatly increased, in a land flowing with milk and honey, even as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, promised you. Hear, O Israel, Jehovah is our God; Jehovah is one. And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I command you today, shall be upon your heart; 16 You shall not test Jehovah your God, as you tested Him at Massah. You shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and His testimonies and His statutes, which He has commanded you. And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah so that it may go well with you and you may enter and possess the good land, concerning which Jehovah swore to your fathers To drive out all your enemies from before you, as Jehovah has spoken. When your son asks you in the future, saying, What is the significance of the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Jehovah our God commanded you? Then you will say to your son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And Jehovah put forth before our eyes great and grievous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his house. Then He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, that He might give us the land which He swore to our fathers. And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes so that we would fear Jehovah our God for our good always and He would preserve us alive, as we are this day. And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 6:25Deuteronomy 6:25 - And it will be righteousness to us if we are certain to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as He commanded us.; 7:9-26Deuteronomy 7:9-26 - Know therefore that it is Jehovah your God who is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and lovingkindness to the thousandth generation with those who love him and keep His commandments, But repays directly those who hate Him by destroying them. He will not be slow toward him who hates Him; He will repay him directly. Therefore you shall keep the commandment, and the statutes and the ordinances, which I am commanding you today to do. And it will be that because you listen to these ordinances, and keep them and do them, Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock, on the land which He swore to your fathers to give you. You will be more blessed than all other peoples; there will not be any barren male or female among you or among your animals. And Jehovah will remove every sickness from you, and none of the evil illnesses of Egypt, which you know about, will He put upon you; but He will give them to all who hate you. And you shall devour all the peoples which Jehovah your God is giving you; your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you. If you say in your heart, These nations are greater than I, how will I be able to dispossess them? You shall not be afraid of them; you must remember what Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt, The great trials that your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders, and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm with which Jehovah your God brought you out; so will Jehovah your God do to all the peoples whom you are afraid of. Furthermore, Jehovah your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and those who hide themselves from you are destroyed. You shall not be terrified of them, for Jehovah your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. And Jehovah your God will clear away these nations from before you little by little; you shall not devour all of them immediately, lest the beasts of the field multiply against you. But Jehovah your God will deliver them up before you and rout them utterly until they
are destroyed. And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under heaven; no man will be able to stand against you until you destroy them. The idols of their gods you shall burn with fire; you shall not desire the silver or gold upon them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God. And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, lest you become a cursed thing like it; you shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.; 8:1-10Deuteronomy 8:1-10 - The whole commandment which I am commanding you today, you shall keep and do, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers. And you shall remember all the way that Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness in order to humble you and test you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. And He humbled you and let you go hungry and fed you the manna, which you had never known nor your fathers had ever known, so that He might make you know that man lives not by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out from the mouth of Jehovah. Your clothing did not wear out from upon you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Jehovah your God was disciplining you; Therefore keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him. For Jehovah your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of waterbrooks, of springs and of fountains, flowing forth in valleys and in mountians; A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees with oil and of honey; A land in which you will eat bread without scarcity; you will not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and from whose mountains you can mine copper. And you shall eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless Jehovah your God for the good land which He has given you.; 11:1, 8-15, 22-28Deuteronomy 11:1, 8-15, 22-28 - 1 Therefore you shall love Jehovah your God and keep His charge and His statutes and His ordinances and His
commandments always. 8 Therefore you shall keep the whole commandment which I am commanding you today so that you may be strong and that you may go in and possess the land into which you are crossing over to possess, And so that you may extend your days upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. For the land which you are entering in to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you came forth, where you used to sow your seed and water by foot as in a vegetable garden. But the land into which you are crossing over to possess is a land of mountains and valleys; by virtue of heaven's rain, it drinks in water. It is a land which Jehovah your God cares for; always the eyes of Jehovah your God are upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. And if you are certain to listen to my commandments, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain and your new wine and your fresh oil. And I will put grass in your field for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. 22 For if you are certain to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him, Jehovah will dispossess all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads will be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the farmost sea will be your territory. No man will be able to stand against you; Jehovah your God will put the dread and fear of you upon all the land on which you tread, as He has spoken to you. See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: The blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today; And the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God and you turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after other gods whom you have not known.; 26:16-19Deuteronomy 26:16-19 - This day Jehovah your God is commanding you to do these statutes and ordinances; therefore you shall keep them and do them with all your heart and with all your soul. It is Jehovah whom you have today declared to be your God and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes and His commandments and His ordinances, and will listen to His voice. And it is Jehovah who has today declared you to be a people for His personal treasure, even as He promised you; and that you will keep all His commandments; And that He will set you high above all the nations which He has made, for praise and for a name and for honor; and that you will be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as He has spoken.; 28:1-14Deuteronomy 28:1-14 - And if you listen diligently to the voice of Jehovah your God and are certain to do all His commandments, which I am commanding you today, Jehovah your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth; And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you listen to the voice of Jehovah your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your animals, the offspring of your cattle and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. Jehovah will cause your enemies, who rise up against you, to be struck down before you; on one road they will come out against you, but on seven roads they will flee before you. Jehovah will command the blessing upon you in your storehouses and in all your undertakings; and He will bless you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you. Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in His ways. And all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by Jehovah's name, and they will be afraid of you. And Jehovah will give you an excess of prosperity in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your animals and in the fruit of your ground, upon the ground which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you. Jehovah will open up to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give rain for your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings. And you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. And Jehovah will make you the head and not the tail, and you will tend only upward, and you will not tend downward, if you will listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today to keep and to do. And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.; 30:11-20Deuteronomy 30:11-20 - For this commandment which I am commanding you today, it is not too difficult for you, nor is it distant. It is not in heaven that you should say, Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? Nor is it across the sea that you should say, Who will go across the sea for us and bring it to us to make us hear it and do it? But the word is very near to you, even in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have put before you today life and good, and death and evil. If you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today, to love Jehovah your God and walk in His ways and keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you will live and multiply, and Jehovah your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns and you do not listen, but rather you are drawn away in worship to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish; your days will not be extended upon the land into which you are crossing over the Jordan to go and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life that you and your seed may live, In loving Jehovah your God by listening to His voice and holding fast to Him; for He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell upon the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Issac, and to Jacob, to give them.; Exo. 15:26Exodus 15:26 - And He said, If you will listen carefully to the voice of Jehovah your God and do what is right in His eyes and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who heals you.; 1 Kings 8:54-661 Kings 8:54-66 - And when Solomon has finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he rose up from before the alter of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward the heavens. And he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. Not one word of all His good promises which He spoke through Moses His servant has failed. May Jehovah our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; let Him not forsake us nor abandon us, That He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers. And let these words of mine, with which I made supplication to Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night to maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel as each day requires; That all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God; there is none else. Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments as on this day. And the king and all Israel with Him offered sacrifices before Jehovah. And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. Thus the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah. On that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings because the bronze alter which was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt offering and the meal offering and the fat of peace offerings. And Solomon held a feast at that time and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven more days, fourteen days in all. On the eight day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king and went to their tents joyful and happy in heart for all the goodness which Jehovah had shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.; Neh. 1:1-11Nehemiah 1:1-11 - The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa the capital, Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and some men from Judah; and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who were left from the captivity, and about Jerusalem. And they said to me, The remnant who are left from the captivity there in the province are in an exceedingly bad state and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates have been burned with fire. And when I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and I mourned for some days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, And I said, I beseech You, O Jehovah the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep His commandments: Let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now day and night, concerning the children of Israel, Your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel that we have sinned against You. Indeed, I and the house of my father have sinned; We have been most corrupt toward You and have not kept the commandments and the statutes and the ordinances that You commanded Moses Your servant. Remember now the word that You commanded Moses Your servant, saying, If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; But if you return to Me and keep My commandments and perform them, though your outcasts are under the ends of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell. Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand. I beseech You, O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayer of Your servants, who take delight in fearing Your name; and cause Your servant to prosper today, and grant him to find compassion before this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.) which are written upon the very same (Jer. 31:31-37Jeremiah 31:33-37 - Indeed days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband,
declares Jehovah. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for all of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Thus says Jehovah,
Who gives the sun for light by day
   And the order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar––
   Jehovah of hosts is His name––
If this order departs
   From before Me, declares Jehovah,
Then the seed of Israel will also cease
   From being a nation before Me forever. Thus says Jehovah,
If the heavens above can be measured,
   And the foundations of the earth below can be examined carefully,
Then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
   For all they have done, declares Jehovah.). This is what Jehovah says is to "love the Lord your God" (Dan. 9:4Daniel 9:4 - And I prayed to Jehovah my God and confessed; and I said, Ah, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love Him and keep
His commandments,; Gen. 26:4-5Genesis 26:4-5 - And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and will give to your seed all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, Because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.; Exo. 20:6Exodus 20:6 - Yet showing lovingkindness to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.). Can anyone guess what hatred of God looks like to Jehovah? Next question...who throws away their child's best porno mag? As a Christian, as a slave of God, there is a blood sealed contractual obligation for one to honor their God created God given natural desires according to the terms of peace (Luke 14:31-32Luke 14:31-32 - Or what king, going to engage another king in war, will not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? Otherwise, while he is yet at a distance, he sends an envoy and asks for the terms of peace.), and there should also be a desire to "NOT be put to shame" before their Master in heaven above (Phil. 1:20Philippians 1:20 - According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.) and before so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us (Heb. 12:1Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, put away every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and run with endurance the race which is set before us,). Being a proper slave of God will definitely make a Christian to be salty to God (Matt. 5:13Matthew 5:13 - You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has become tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything except to be cast out and trampled underfoot by men.; Mark 9:50Mark 9:50 - Salt is good, but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you restore its saltiness? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another.; Luke 14:34-35Luke 14:34-35 - Therefore salt is good; but if even the salt becomes tasteless, with what will its saltiness be restored? It is fit neither for the land nor for the manure pile; they will throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.)...lots of flavor! In complete ignorance and with no instructions save the teaching of the Anointing, I applied this truth perfectly as a young single college brother in 2003 (now Jan. 23, 2023). After 20 years of living in this truth...people, at a glance, think that I am a criminal (or a rapper). Christian living during the apostolic period of church history (A.D. 33–100) left many saints dead or imprisoned as criminals. So, I think I can say I am living (and am here teaching) the perfect carbon copy of a pure and apostolically sourced Christian living,...with exceptions being on account of maybe the internet existing and the popularity of human rights...oh yeah, and we have penicillin. Hey, don't knock it; penicillin is the next best thing to having a son of God with leaves in your midst (Rev. 22:2Revelation 22:2 - And on this side and on that side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations.). This is the truth of the Gospel which the saints guarded as a secret in the midst of those most violent and pagan days (Matt. 10:16-33Matthew 10:16-33 - Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore prudent as serpents and guileless as doves. And beware of men, for they will deliver you up to sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. And you will also be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you should speak, for it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; For you are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is the One speaking in you. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death. And you will be hated by all because of My name. But he who has endured to the end, this one shall be saved. And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another. For truly I say to you, You shall by no means finish the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is sufficient for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of
His household! Therefore do not fear them; for there is nothing covered which will not be revealed, and hidden which will not be made known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And not one of them will fall to the earth apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. Everyone therefore who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father who is in the heavens; But whoever will deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father who is in the heavens.); this is the narrow Way that leads to life (Matt. 7:13-14Matthew 7:13-14 - Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it.). This good pleasure of soul can and must be honored (Phil. 2:5-16Philippians 2:5-16 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for your good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and reasonings That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.). If the heart of God should "feel differently" on any matter, in Him is the Yes, through Him is the Amen to God (2 Cor. 1:20-222 Corinthians 1:20-22 - For as many promises of God as there are, in Him is the Yes; therefore also through Him is the Amen to God, for glory through us to God. But the One who firmly attaches us with you unto Christ and has anointed us is God, He who has also sealed us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.). The slave's response, as being obedient, is always "Amen" or "yes" to their Lord. And this is especially true when their heavenly Master says "no." "Amen, my Lord." The Lord saying "no" always (read this as...always check 2 out of the 3) turns out to be so easy, precious, and completely unpredictable. As a faithful slave of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can testify that usually, I just get to do what I want to do day to day. And to secretly suffer loss of enjoyment at your Masters beckoning and for your Master's sake–– ...well, our Lord suffered loss as He faithfully walked in obedience to the Father, so the company is good if one is hanging around in that place. We will follow our Master spontaneously as we consider one another in love under the light of the truth of the Gospel. When at the moment of choice, it is clearly realized by any faithful slave...uplifting sacrifice (loss) before the eyes of the saints with all the talk of sacrifice and teaching of sacrifice is useless. Teaching sacrifice (loss) does nothing but tempt the saints to deny (Matt. 26:33-35, 69-75Matthew 26:33-35, 69-75 - 33 Then Peter answered and said to Him, If all will be stumbled because of You, I will never be stumbled. Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that in this night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. Peter said to Him, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You. And all the disciples said likewise. 69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, You also were with Jesus the Galilean. But he denied it before all, saying, I do not know what you are talking about! And after he had gone out to the porch, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man! And after a little while those who were standing there came to Peter and said, Surely you also are one of them, for your speech also makes it clear that you are. Then he began to curse and to swear: I do not know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus has said, Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.; Mark 14:27-31, 66-72Mark 14:27-31, 66-72 - 27 And Jesus said to them, You will all be stumbled, because it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." But after I have been raised, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said to Him, Even if all will be stumbled, yet I will not! And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that today in this night, before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. But he went on speaking more intensely, Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You! And they all said similarly. 66 And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, And seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus. But he denied it, saying, I neither know nor understand what you are talking about. And he went outside into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed. And the servant girl, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by, This man is one of them! But again he denied it. And after a little while, those standing by again said to Peter, Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean as well. But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak! And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus had said to him, Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And thinking upon it, he wept.; Luke 22:33-34, 54-62Luke 22:33-34, 54-62 - 33 And he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death. But He said, I tell you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me. 54 And having arrested Him, they led Him away, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. But Peter followed at a distance. And when they had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. And a certain servant girl, seeing him seated in the light of the fire, looked intently at him and said, This man was with Him too. But he denied it, saying, I do not know Him, woman. And after a short time, another person, seeing him, said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not! And after about one hour had passed, another one insisted, saying, Surely this man was also with Him, for he is also a Galilean. But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And instantly, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly.; John 13:37-38; 18:14-27John 13:37-38; 18:14-27 - 13:37 Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times. 18:14 Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, as well as another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest; But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door and brought Peter in. Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not. Now the slaves and the attendants were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The high priest then questioned Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and I spoke nothing in secret. Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard Me, concerning what I spoke to them; behold, these know what I said. And when He said these things, one of the attendants standing by slapped Jesus, saying, Is that how You answer the high priest? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken wrongly, testify concerning the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me? Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you not also one of His disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the slaves of the high priest, who was a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with Him? Then Peter denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed.) the Lord. What can the saints even do? They can only lose enjoyment when their Master says to them "no". What does teaching sacrifice (loss) accomplish? Rebellion. Honoring all revelation and practicality, the dominant force of understanding for the Christian notion of sacrifice should strongly align with feasting and enjoyment. Overemphasizing sacrifice (loss) to the saints tempts the slaves of the Lord to start playing the role of master (Phil. 2:5-8Philippians 2:5-8 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) with themselves whilst randomly selecting some God created, God honored, and basically God mandated pleasure of the soul to be denyed to themselves after having sent themselves on an unguided, soul, searching, strain-out-the-gnat tour of duty passing through all of the high places in the good land (their soul) for any frigg'n stick or stone pillar that can be earnestly bowed down to for a sugar pill demonstration to themselves of their devotion to God through suffering borne out of zeal (Rom. 10:2-3Romans 10:2-3 - For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full knowledge; For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness and sought to establish their own righteousness, they were not subject to the righteousness of God.; Gal. 1:14Galatians 1:14 - And I advanced in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being more abundantly a zealot for the traditions of my fathers.) but absent of revelation. With a swiftness, there should be zeal exercised unto repentance (Rev. 3:19Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore
and repent.) in all of these situations amongst the people of the Lord. When a slave of the Lord follows and honors their enjoyment of smoking a cigarette in their soul moment by moment and day by day, they are walking by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25Galatians 5:16, 18, 22-23, 25 - 16 But I say, Walk by the Spirit and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.). As laboring priest in the temple of their own body (John 2:20-21John 2:20-21 - Then the Jews said, This temple was built in forty-six years, and You will raise it up in three days? But He spoke of the temple of His body.), they do the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:581 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.; Matt. 10:10bMatthew 10:10b - For the worker is worthy of his food.; John 14:10John 14:10 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.; Rom 2:6-7Romans 2:6-7 - Who will render to each according to his works: To those who by endurance in good work seek glory and honor and incorruptibility, life eternal;), and they light up that cigarette...being faithful and obedient even unto death...and that the death of a cigarette. Our Lord, also, was a faithful and obedient slave (Phil. 2:8Philippians 2:8 - And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.) of God. Disobeying God's commandments (i.e. dishonoring but especially denying (John 13:37-38John 13:37-38 - Peter said to Him, Lord, why can't I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You. Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times.) one's own natural desires of the soul) can provoke the chastening of the Lord. Chastisement has various severities and, absent repentance, all can lead to discipline by fire and brimstone in outer darkness. What a saint under the chastening of the Lord can look like:
For example and brevity: "A-B-C-X-Y-Z." = I <3 smoking cigarettes!

Daily Prayers:
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z."
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z" for the last time.
Forgive me Jesus, I just did "A-B-C-X-Y-Z"...last time...really.
The rebellion of the saint:
As a created being, the soul's naturally inclined sentiments of appreciation are a significant factor in a saint's realization of the will God for them. Indeed, all of the hopes of that saint in Christ will align with these their naturally created God given delights as part of the expected fulfillment of all of the promises of God. If the saint can faithfully keep God's commandments to them, which commandments are written upon their very heart, they will receive all of their hopes (Eph. 1:3-12Ephesians 1:3-12 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved; In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself, Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him; In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will, That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ.; Rom. 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5 - Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance; And endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, hope; And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.; 15:4Romans 15:4 - For the things that were written previously were written for our instruction, in order that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.; 1 Cor. 9:8-11, 131 Corinthians 9:8-11, 13 - 8 Am I speaking these things according to man? Or does the law not also say these things? For in the law of Moses it is written: "You shall not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain." Is it for oxen that God cares? Or does He say it altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written because the plowman should plow in hope, and he who threshes, in hope of partaking. If we have sown to you the spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap from you the fleshly things? 13 Do you not know that those who labor on the sacred things eat the things of the sacred temple, that those who attend to the alter have their portion with the alter?) or promised blessings. Today I purchase cigarettes, tomorrow, "stone become cigarette" (John 14:10-14John 14:10-14 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.)! Following blind guides under the influence of the teachings of Satan (1 Tim. 4:1-51 Timothy 4:1-5 - But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons By means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, of men who are branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron, Who forbid marriage and command abstaining from foods, which God has created to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if received with thanksgiving; For it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.; Rev. 2:12-17Revelation 2:12-17 - And to the messenger of the church in Pergamos write: These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name and have not denied My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, that you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol sacrifices and to
commit fornication. In the same way you also have some who hold in like manner the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Repent therefore; but if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of My mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and to him I will give a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.; 2:18-23Revelation 2:18-23 - And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like shining bronze: I know your works and love and faith and service and your endurance and that your last works are more than the first. But I have something against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and leads My slaves astray to commit fornication and to eat idol sacrifices. And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works; And her children I will kill with death; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the inward parts and the hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to
your works.), the saint is taught to appreciate "clean smoke free Christian living", and the saint enjoys eating sacrifice at the feet of this Asherah idol with other Christians of similar ilk. Now when this saint desires to smoke a cigarette according to their God created natural desires, the "clean living" Asherah idol with all of that saint's appreciation from enjoyment at sacrifice are insulted. The saint has sinned in the face of their Asherah idol and the deceitfulness (2 Thes. 2:8-122 Thessalonians 2:8-12 - And then the lawless one will be revealed (whom the Lord Jesus will slay by the breath of His mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of His coming), The coming of whom is according to Satan's operation in all power and signs and wonders of a lie And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might
be saved. And because of this God sends to them an operation of error that they might believe the lie, So that all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness might be judged.; Heb. 3:7-19Hebrews 3:7-19 - Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me and saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and I said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways; As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest!" Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief in falling away from the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin–– For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm to the end–– While it is said, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." For who provoked Him when they heard? Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was He displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, except to the disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.; John 8:1-11John 8:1-11 - But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst, They said to Him, Teacher, this woman has been caught committing adultery, in the very act. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say? But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and 1wrote with His finger on the ground. But when they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. And when they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the older ones. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman stood where she was, in the midst. And Jesus stood up and said to her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more. Footnote: 8:61 While the Holy Spirit sealed (or kept as a secret) the word of the Lord written in the dirt upon the ground here before the adulterous woman, before her accusers, and before the writer of this book of gospel, there is yet clear scriptural record of this hidden truth spoken openly by the Lord in His earthly ministry. This truth was able to muzzle the mouths of the accusing and unbelieving Jews in the days of our Lord, and this...now unsealed...speaking will have the same affect upon the unbelieving, the finger pointing, and the beating-their-fellow-slaves-and-drunk-with-the-blood-of-the-saints Christians today in 2023. What Jesus wrote upon the ground would have aligned very closely to the word spoken by the Lord (recorded in scripture) later in the gospel of John. According to the word of the Lord in John 9:39-41, if a saint sees sin in another (or in themselves!), this is equal to that saint (the accuser) still having that sin; I.e. an accuser is not forgiven by God of any sin they see in themselves or another. This is the deceitfulness of sin–– Therefore, those bringing accusation against the adulterous woman here in John 8...they still had their sin; they made it very clear that they saw sin in their Hebrew sister. And because the accusers still had their sin, they were not qualified to throw a single stone at the woman...as the Lord said when He stood up. "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Only the Lord Jesus, who saw no sin in the woman, was qualified to throw a stone at the woman, and the scriptural record indicates that the Lord did not condemn her to death. Neither will our heavenly Master condemn us, dear saints; His burden is easy, and His yoke is light. Furthermore, the woman was told to "go, and from now on sin no more." This was a command from the king of kings for the believing woman to simply live out her life...to simply honor the desires (the good pleasures) of her heart, to simply fear nothing, and...most importantly...to simply see no sin in herself! This woman walked out of the presence of the Lord as a believing Christian living in simplicity according to the two (2) pillars! All things are lawful; honor the good pleasures of your heart as commandment from God. This adulterous woman will be fucking forever...unlike most of the saints whose carcasses fell in the wilderness as they wandered aimlessly for forty years. According to the Bible, most Christians
(1 Cor. 10:5) will be made to be as eunuchs from God for the healing of the nations; most of the Christians will live forever in the kingdom of God as such...eunuchs who heal the basic and natural humans that are allowed live in the kingdom of God and which said humans comprise the totality of all the nations living in God's earthly kingdom for all eternity. This is the truth of the Gospel; this is the two (2) pillars. When a Christian points a finger and makes accusation against another or even against themselves (a house divided), that accusing saint still has their sin, and they will die in that sin when they stand before the Lord at His judgement seat. For with what judgement you judge, you shall be judged by God, and in what you judge another, you condemn yourself...to death. On a slightly more positive note, the scriptures hold record elsewhere of another woman "caught in promiscuity", and yet with very different results. In this other scene, the "adulterous" woman does not find herself surrounded by those with a thirst for the bloodshed of the saints (Rev. 17:6; 16:5-6; 18:23-24), does not find herself surrounded by those like the self righteous and unbelieving scribes and Pharisees who live as if their conscience is branded as with a hot iron (1 Tim. 4:2-3), and does not find herself surrounded by the unrighteous who only see trespasses and sins in their brethren (John 9:41). The "adulterous" woman in this other scene is shepherded unto life and much blessing (Luke 1:42-55) by
the righteous. When a Hebrew sister named Mary was found to be with child before she had come together with her husband, Joseph (Matt. 1:18), her husband did not drag her out by the hair and to the synagogue or to the temple in Jerusalem for judgement before the high priest and also for the subsequent stoning. Instead, Joseph sought to send his wife away in secret to thus spare her any public shame, spare her any additional embarrassment, and of course spare her from the judgement of death. Today in 2023, unfaithful spouses are shamefully and openly crucified with all fanfare and celebrity by Christians as standard issue, and the kings of the earth (human governments) get rich (Rev. 17:2; 18:3, 9) taking their money. This is a Babylonian business model that is permeated through and through with Asherah idol sacrifice (savage appreciation of fairytale white dress marriage ceremony). This is a business model that is powered by fornication (marriage contract violators are expected...even taught...to feel bad (Rev. 2:14, 20, 24)). And this is a business model that is promoted by Catholicism along with her
many daughters. The king of kings has judged this satanic system in its entirety, and He is returning soon (Matt. 24:15-22) in order to miserably kill all of these demonically influenced (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 10:19-20; 1 Tim. 4:1-5; Rev. 9:20-21; 18:2-3) and murderous people of Babylon with the sword of His mouth and to burn their city (Matt. 21:40-41; Luke 19:15, 27; Rev. 2:16; 19:15, 21; Matt. 22:7) to the ground. The New Testament...the covenant (legally binding and blood sealed contract) that Christians have with Jehovah...teaches and testifies to all Christians that the manner in which Joseph sought to handle his "unfaithful" wife, Mary, was a clear demonstration of righteousness as coming from a righteous saint (Matt. 1:19). And as a righteous saint, Joseph will hence be feasting and fucking forever. Any Christian that is seeking to have a testimony of righteousness before God and man will honor the testimony of this husband that is recorded in the Bible with their Christian life and with a healthy fear of the Lord God the Almighty presiding over
their heart. This is the testimony of the Gospel. Any Christian who expects to be fucking for all eternity surely has to do better than the unbelieving scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 5:20), lest the appointment of that Christians' portion be as with the hypocrites (Matt. 24:51), as with the unbelievers (Luke 12:46). In that place[outer darkness or lake of fire or the second death] there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. In that place, no rest will be found for the soul in waterless places (Matt. 12:43). This is because in waterless places (wherever there is land), the righteous and joyfully living people...the saints and the nations...are eating, drinking,...and fucking. Observation of and longings for this wedding feast enjoyment from the position of the lake of fire will trigger destruction within the souls that are under the authority of the second death. The souls of the saints that are in outer darkness will face destruction when their desires for participation are provoked by observation of the feasting and fucking in the 1,000 year millennium kingdom. Furthermore, it must be understood that both hell[death before the King's return] and the lake of fire[outer darkness or the second death after the return of the King in about 5 years] are right here on earth. The bodyless souls of men in these places (or rather...in these conditions of existence) are invisible to the living and even to the other dead, but the dead can talk to and hear each other. They have no bodies to be seen, nonetheless. So all of the dead unregenerate[not God's Old/New Testament people] and all of the sleeping saints are right here on earth with full access to travel anywhere, to see anything in their line of sight, and to hear everything from the surface of the moon, to the ISS in orbit, down to a submarine in the Mariana Trench. Understand that there are no secrets (Matt. 10:26). Every single human that has ever existed is still here, and they will always be here...no...matter...what...for...all...eternity. Only God's people amongst the living will ever have access to heaven in that day, however. Saints in outer darkness have to wait 1,000 years before that can go between heaven and earth at their own will. Most Christians, the eunuchs (sons of Gehenna), will have to wait 1,000 years before they are able to climb the heavenly ladder to go to heaven. The harlot and the tax collector will have been ascending and descending upon the Son of Man as the heavenly ladder for 1,000 years (and starting in about 5 years) by the time the workers of lawlessness (the broken cisterns which hold no water for the enjoyment of God and man (Jer. 2:12-13)) gain access to heaven (Matt. 21:28-32). In hell or hades, unbelievers[not God's people] hunger and thirst for the satisfaction of their hearts' desires (Luke 16:24-25) according to what they can see and hear in the living. From Adam and Eve until today, all of God's people in hell are resting in peace in Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22) and will be as such until the return of the King. The "bosom of Abraham" or "Paradise" (Luke 23:42-43) is a condition of comfort and rest for those who have completed their course in life and are chosen by God to be among God's people...even those chosen to live in His kingdom for all eternity. In the lake of fire, both the unbelievers (lasting for all eternity, and to start in 5 years for:
- the tares[fake christians (Matt. 13:24-30)],
- the antichrist (Rev. 19:20),
- the false prophet (Rev. 19:20),
- and the deceived modern-society-nations[the goats (Matt. 25:32-46)] who live to see Jesus return in about 5 years;
- and to start in just over 1,000 years for those not written in the book of life and already dead + the armies at Armageddon that Jesus will send to hell by speaking (Rev. 19:21)) and the lawless Christians (lasting for 1,000 years, and to start in about 5 years for most of the Christians) will all face the agony of the loss or destruction of their soul. In the lake of fire which burns with fire and brimstone (Rev. 14:9-11), when the desires of the heart are stirred up by what one can see and hear of the enjoyment of the living upon the surface of the earth, the agony of the destruction (Isa. 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 3:3; Gal. 6:8; James 5:3; Col. 3:5-6) of the desires of the heart comes upon the soul like a flame to the flesh. In the kingdom of the heavens, there is an actual place, a literal Gehenna, that will begin to smoke as visible indication to the saints in heaven...even to the martyrs and faithful witnesses...of the torment of the souls of men (and eventually of Satan with his principalities, powers, and the demons) in the lake of fire. Once started, Gehenna will always have smoke ascending from it in heaven for all eternity. Today, Jan 31, 2023 @ 0645 hrs, there is no smoke in that place, called Gehenna, in heaven. There is no smoke because the lake of fire here on earth is currently empty; Soul occupancy = 0; smoke = 0. Soon, Gehenna in heaven will pop smoke, and the sons of Gehenna (Matt. 23:15)...which also includes all of the fear mongering 9/11 murderers and their children appointed by God to complete destruction...will be produced by God here on earth in the lake of fire. These workers of lawlessness (Matt. 7:23; 13:40-42) who, in 2011, came into apartment #305 on Marietta Street in Atlanta will comprise the most savagely FUBAR'd segment of the population of eternal eunuchs in the kingdom of the heavens ever to be produced by God our Father for the healing of the nations (Rev. 22:2) for all eternity. When these saints walk into the room, everyone will know they were in my apartment in 2011; everyone will know they fucked with the messeger to the church in Philadelphia towards and even through the end of the age of grace in 2023; everyone will know these are the Christians who picked the wrong nigger to fuck with. It is strongly indicated in scripture that all such workers may neither eat nor drink, as well; their only food may be to do the will of God (John 4:31-34), and rivers of living water come forth from their innermost being (John 7:38)...this may be their eternal drink. More than 50% of all Christians have been appointed by God to receive this portion (1 Cor. 10:5) of wrath from God. Furthemore and as prophesied by Jesus (Matt. 24:15), abominations coming out of the possessions of and supporting the political agendas of the desolator...these same 9/11 murders...with said desolation having been set to trample, set to come up against, and even set to satisfy legalities for the destruction of the holy temple, and as if that's not enough, with set resolve to hinder all priestly temple services, sacrifice (this shit is strictly personal), and oblation contained therein–– Which said holy temple...the vessel of the messenger to the church in Philadelphia (a veritable and God damned muther fucking badass community college negro from the south hailing from Atlanta, GA) is simultaneously being trampled and, by virtue and provocation of said trampling before the eyes of God the Father, is also commanding a special portion of complete destruction from God Himself for the desolator (the same fear mongering bloodshed 9/11 idiots mentioned above) and their children...as prophesied by Daniel the prophet (Dan. 9:17-27). This destruction is being stored up at this very moment and daily in 2023 for (and will be dispensed by God Himself personally to ALL) of the 9/11 conspirators (and those UK bombings wankers) and their spiritual children, even to the third and fourth generation (Exo. 20:5) of those who hate Jehovah. Says the messenger, J5: [earmuffs!] "I wish these ivy league PhDs would go home, get way more people and permission to waste another 12 years of the prime of my life; then come back and trample the outer court (the mortal body) of my temple (soul) with both feet. I'm most terribly bored and almost certainly...no...definitely...dying slowly from boredom and lack of any current or even a forseable challenge that I can use to muster up some feeling of excitement or anticipation. I have nothing to dream about. All of these muppets are dumb as fuck and soft like a napkin...in summary...they're just a bunch of academically juiced, scare mongering, story-telling pussies with nothing but organizational book smarts, with old age in spades, with the Catholic Pope's dick repeatedly getting jammed down their throat (absolutely no gagging––), and with an around-the-clock need to have their dusty ivy league PhD-umb asses wiped by this negro community college boy from Atlanta with an undergrad from state and a B-minus GPA. Gawd dammit...where's my friggin' beer!?! I can be piss freekin' drunk 24/7/365 and still hand this crowd-of-dunces-riff-raff-of-men their dusty flippin' asses every...God...damn...muther...lovin' day!! ...and this is all before my heavenly Master has even stepped up to the plate to have a swing at these chumps. YEAH, that's right, you suckers! I haven't even tagged my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into the ring yet, you fools! And I happen to know for a God-damned muther truckin' fact that my heavenly Father God in God-dawggit freekin' heaven above is absolutely and positively chomping at the bit to have just one round with your stuck up lil' miss fancy pants asses. At this point, I've taken like 12 years to go to town and back on a daily basis and all over your dumb ivy league asses. My God in heaven above...He only wants one day (Psa. 90:4; 2 Pet. 3:8). NOW GO GET WAY MORE PEOPLE SO I CAN TAG JESUS INTO THIS BITCH ON SOMETHING FRESH!! THIS OLD THING IS SLOPPY AND TIRED...Well, mainly sloppy... p.s. - Tell your girl I said hi...Just tell her I said, hello!" Like a cast-out-of-body and wandering demon in Satan's kingdom of darkness, the saint which took the teachings of demons from blind guides and then fell short of Joseph's testimony in caring for themself and others before the Lord...the saint that fell short of a testimony borne in righteousness...that saint will run like a demon to the middle of the South Pacific Ocean for their unclean spirit to brood over the deep, dark, and rolling waters in order to find rest for their soul (Mark 5:7-13). In that place, there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth for 1,000 years. The Lord's speaking, as recorded in John 9:39-41: And Jesus said, For judgement I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may
become blind. Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, We are not blind also, are we? Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now that you say, We see; your sin remains. ) of said transgression (there is no sin) then leads their heart into fornication. As the Lord wrote in the dirt, if you see sin, you have sin (John 8:6John 8:6 - But they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote with His finger on the ground.; 9:41John 9:41 - Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; your sin remains.). Something that is NOT the Holy Spirit has pricked this Christian's conscience, telling them that they did wrong and have sinned before heaven and earth; this is spiritual fornication, and the wrath of God will come (Col. 3:6Colossians 3:6 - Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;) to destroy the offending desire from the soul. The good land will vomit this saint out (Lev. 18:1-5, 24-28Leviticus 18:1-5, 24-28 - 1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am Jehovah your God. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt; and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, nor shall you walk in their statutes. You shall observe My ordinances, and you shall keep My statutes to walk in them; I am Jehovah your God. So you shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, by which, if a man does them, he will live; I am Jehovah. 24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these things, for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have defiled themselves. Because the land has become defiled, I visited its iniquity upon it, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. You therefore shall keep My statutes and My ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native nor the sojourner who sojourns among you (For the men of the land who were before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled); That the land does not vomit you out when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation which was before you. For all who do any of these abominations, those persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore you shall keep My charge, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and you do not defile yourselves by them; I am Jehovah your God.) at the location in question and at every high place in the soul (Col. 3:5Colossians 3:5 - Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry.) where the saint has setup an Asherah or (and with the highest degree of certainty) a Baal (1 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-181 Kings 18:37-40, 45; 19:1-18 - 37 Answer me, O Jehovah; answer me, that this people may know that You, O Jehovah, are God and that You have turned their heart back again. And the fire of Jehovah fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. And when the people saw this, they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah––He is God! Jehovah––He is God! And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there. 45 And in the meantime the heavens became black with clouds, and there was wind and a great rain. And Ahab mounted his chariot and went to Jezreel. And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and all about how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, The gods do so to me and even more, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the life of one of them! And because he was afraid, he rose up and went away for his life; and he came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his attendant there. And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a certain broom shrub; and he requested for himself that he might die and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers. And he lay down and slept under the broom shrub. And suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, Rise up and eat. And he looked, and there at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time and touched him and said, Rise up and eat; for the journey is too great for you. And he rose up and ate and drank, and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. And there he went into a cave and lodged there. And at that time the word of Jehovah came to him; and He said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And He said, Go out, and stand upon the mountain before Jehovah. And suddenly Jehovah passed by, and a great, strong wind rent the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before Jehovah––Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake––Jehovah was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire––Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a gentle, quiet voice. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And then a voice came to him and said, What are you doing here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your alters, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life. And Jehovah said to him, Go; return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you come there, anoint Hazael as king over Syria; And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint as king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. And him who escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and him who escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. Yet I have left Myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.). If the offending (offending to the dumb idol set up in the good land, a pillar stood up at a grand vista [a place with a good view] in the heart of the saint) desire of the saint is something like online pornography, then the wrath of God will come as the Spirit to sweep the soul of that saint unto destruction (Isa. 14:21-24Isaiah 14:21-24 - Prepare a slaughterhouse for his children
   Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
So that they do not rise up and possess the land,
   And fill the surface of the world with cities. And I will rise up against them,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts.
And I will cut off from Babylon name and remnant,
   And posterity and progeny, declares Jehovah.
And I will make it a possession for porcupines
   And muddied pools of water,
And I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,
   Declares Jehovah of hosts. Jehovah of hosts has sworn, saying,
Surely just as I conceived it, so has it happened;
   And just as I have purposed it, so shall this stand,) in the territory of the heart where the idol was setup...the territory that lead the saint one to appreciate pornography. Therefore, in the case of certain forms of idolatry such as fornication, passion, and evil[in the eyes of a pagan society] desire, discipline from God can produce an eternal eunuch (Matt. 19:12Matthew 19:12 - For there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who can accept it, let him accept it.). The prayers of the saint (above) indicate that there exists a certain delight within the soul of this Christian. The saint builds regularly at this place in their soul. Then the saint destroys what they built in confession (Gal. 2:18). Jesus, forgive me for doing
"A-B-C-X-Y-Z" again. The saint despises their God-given portion of the good land (their God created soul), and they hate their Creator (Exo. 20:5; Deut. 5:9-10). This is what Jezebel (Roman Catholicism and her many daughters) produces in God's people. This is rebellion. The chastisement from Jehovah:
In the Old Testament, the nations (Canaanites, Jebusites, Amorites, Moabites, etc. See Exo. 23:23 and footnotes, Recovery Version) represent different aspects of our natural life. When a saint brings idolatry and fornication into the promised good land (their heart) Jehovah will cause the sword from the pagan tribes in the land to rise up against them to dispossess them from off of the land...to bring them into slavery or captivity. If there is no repentance and return to the good land (honoring their whole heart) whilst breath is still in the lungs of that saint and before their Master's return, the high places in their portion of the good land (soul) which kept the idols will get destruction from the Spirit (Isa. 14:23; Luke 15:8-10; Col. 3:5-6) in outer darkness. Effectively the saint will have gotten evicted or vomited out of their own heart in the ressurection. The commandments of God written upon the heart of this dear saint, with all of their heart's natural or soulish delights included therein, have become the very instrument of this saint's destruction due to their disobedience unto the Lord. The saint in this example naturally likes smoking cigarettes, but then they brought idolatry into their heart, and set up a pillar unto Baal at that grand vista, high place, or splendid vantage point of the soul. Other high places of the soul...common Asherah and Baal worship locations in the good land...are mentioned in Col. 3:5. The Baal is for the protection of some kind of appreciation (Asherah) that was taught to the saint (Gen. 2:17). "Feeling good" about "clean smoke free Christian living" when you smoke cigarettes is to eat idol sacrifiice at the feet of an Asherah. This will result in fornication, and Catholicism teaches (Rev. 2:20) this rebellious and leavened shit to Christians as if it were clean, straight, and standard issue church doctrine. As chastisement, Jehovah then allowed the saint's God created natural (the pagan nations in the good land) desire for cigarettes to rise up against the saint provoking bouts of apparent loss of self control. Many apparent "transgressions" (Heb. 3:13; 2 Thes. 2:10) against a "clean smoke free Christian living" false god burst forth. This uprising of the saint's own natural desires for cigarettes also provoked many trespass offerings unto Jehovah at the alter in the outer court...but offerings that were without the Holy Spirit (laver). The laboring priest must first wash in the laver before offering sacrifice at the alter. See excerpt from the Life Study of ExodusLife Study of Exodus page 1672 - THE RESULT OF SERVING IN THE TABERNACLE WITHOUT FIRST WASHING IN THE LAVER When we pray to offer something to the Lord, we first need to wash our hands and even our feet in the laver. To come to the meeting to function is actually to come into the tabernacle to serve the Lord. Before we serve the Lord in the tabernacle, we need to wash. However, in the Christian life of many believers and in their service to God there does not seem to be a laver. When they come to the alter to make an offering to God, they have unclean hands. They may come into the church meetings and serve without washing their hands in the laver. This kind of service brings in death. This is the reason Exodus 30:21 says "Then they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die." We should be careful not to touch God's service unless we have first washed our hands in the laver. If we try to serve God in the tabernacle with unclean hands, we shall die, spiritually speaking. How much death there is among Christians today! The more they serve, the more death they have because they serve with unclean hands. Praying and serving with unclean hands brings in death. If we do not pray in the meetings or function, in a sense we may be somewhat living. But if we pray or function without washing in the laver, we shall bring death to ourselves and also spread death to others. Death is the result of our trying to pray or serve without washing in the laver. for more fellowship on the laver in Christian experience. In the example here (cigarettes), the Holy Spirit has not convicted a single soul, and the Holy Spirit has had nothing to do with any trespass offering unto the Lord. It is a "clean smoke free Christian living" dumb idol that is somehow lodging complaints. But idols don't speak (Psa. 38:13; Hab. 2:18; 1 Cor. 12:2). It is solely the uncircumcised heart of the dear fornicating saint making the accusations. There is no god, so there is actually no "physical" trespass. The "sin" here is an illusion, but sacrifice for forgiveness (this is called a trespass offering) at the alter unto Jehovah without the laver (Holy Spirit) is a sin unto death (Exo. 30:18-21). for more on the messenger to the church in Philadelphia. ; 24:8-14Matthew 24:8-14 - All these things are the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of My name. And at that time many will be stumbled and will deliver up one another and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold. But he who has endured to the end, this one shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.; James 3:1-2James 3:1-2 - Do not become many teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive greater judgement. For in many things we all stumble. If anyone does not stumble in word, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.; Num. 25:1-13Numbers 25:1-13 - While Israel dwelt in Shittim, the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab. For they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined itself to Baal-peor, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel. And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the leaders of the people and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, so that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel. And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Each of you slay his men who have joined themselves to Baal-peor. Just then one of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his brothers in the sight of Moses and on the sight of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the assembly and took a spear in his hand, And he went after the man of Israel into the tent and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her stomach. So the plague among the children of Israel was stopped. And those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand. Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned My wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My jealousy. Therefore say, I now give him My covenant of peace; And it shall be to him and to his seed after him the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made expiation for the children of Israel.; Jer. 1:11-19Jeremiah 1:11-19 - Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. And Jehovah said to me, You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it. Then the word of Jehovah came to me a second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north. And Jehovah said to me, Out of the north evil will be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land. For I am now calling all the families from the kingdoms of the north, declares Jehovah, and they will come and set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem and against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah. And I will utter My judgement on them concerning all their wickedness by which they have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods and have worshipped the works of their own hands. You therefore gird up your loins, and rise up and speak to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed before them, lest I dismay you in their presence. And I am now making you today into a fortified city and into an iron pillar and into bronze walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. And they will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you, declares Jehovah, to deliver you.; Luke 12:34-44Luke 12:34-44 - For where your treasure is, there also your heart will be. Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning, And you be like men waiting for their own master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those slaves whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Truly I tell you that he will gird himself and will have them recline at table, and he will come to them and serve them. And if he comes in the second watch, or if in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into. You also, be ready, because at an hour when you do not expect it, the Son of Man is coming. And Peter said, Lord, are You saying his parable to us, or also to all? And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom the master will set over his service to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Truly I tell you that he will set him over all his possessions.), a ravenous wolf of the tribe of Benjamin and one of the King's two swords, an eternal son of thunder officially seated in heaven at a place prepared by God my heavenly Father at table next to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Son of David, the King of kings and Lord of all lords, and a web professional living and working in Atlanta, GA.

With 6 years of solid agency experience (+18 years of programming experience in open source web technologies) behind me, I am always open to investigate fresh opportunities to work with active, growing and digitally fueled companies in order to strengthen and broaden aspects of their service offerings from a technical perspective. For my previous employer, I worked with corporate clients to formulate and execute (with my own bare hands in the code whenever necessary) multi-channel business marketing initiatives.

In 2004 I worked as a freelance designer, web application developer and serial entrepreneur. After the implosion of my 8 person startup company, CommercialNet Inc., I entered the world of interactive marketing and advertising by accepting a UI developer position with the Atlanta based agency, Moxie Interactive.

Born on Nov. 10th, 2005, my dog...named 'J5' (proper)...is part Korean Jindo, German Shepherd and Timber Wolf.

In 2007 I helped a talented and diverse team of people at Moxie to start the eCRM department. Lead by Darryl Bolduc, Tina West, and Sapana Nanuwa (and with over 50 years of combined email marketing experience), we worked with our clients to design and execute both award-winning and state-of-the-art email marketing programs in support of their global strategic initiatives.

My boy, J5, when I was a company man at agency,...he would accompany me to work at the office in the city of Atlanta on many occasions. All the way through the end of 2012, J5 frequented, with me, local Atlanta parks, local Atlanta coffee shops, local Atlanta neighborhood bars, and even the occasional Atlanta house party.

On the morning of Monday, Aug. 16, 2021 at 0345 hrs and while laying under my arm, J5 went the way of all the earth (1 Kings 2:1-31 Kings 2:1-3 - When David's time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his son, saying, I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong therefore and be a man; And keep the charge of Jehovah your God by walking in His ways, by keeping His statutes, His commandments, and His ordinances and His testimonies as they are written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;) even with much encouragement and celebration from me by his side. In the woods behind my house in the dark of night, at 0500 hrs, as I was returning J5 to the earth from whence he came...whilst shoveling the dirt back in place, I thanked him repeatedly for everything he gave to me during our sojourn together upon the face of the earth in this God's old creation. I thanked him for bringing me into practical participation with and into the prophetic fulfillment of the blessings of Israel to his twelve sons (Gen. 48:21-22; 49:1, 25-28Genesis 48:21-22; 49:1, 25-28 - 21 And Israel said to Joseph, Now I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you again to the land of your fathers. Moreover I have given to you one portion more than your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. And Jacob called to his sons and said, Gather yourselves together that I may tell you what will happen to you in the last days. 25 From the God of your father, who will help you,
   And from the All-sufficient One, who will bless you
With blessings of heaven above,
   Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
   Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
The blessings of your father surpass
   The blessings of my ancestors
   To the utmost bound of the everlasting hills.
They will be on the head of Joseph,
   And on the crown of the head of the one who was separate from
      his brothers.
Benjamin is a 1ravenous wolf,
   In the morning devouring the prey
   And in the evening dividing the spoil.
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them when he blessed them; he blessed them, each one according to his blessing. Footnote: 49:271 Lit., tearing. As a tearing wolf, Benjamin is a type of Christ, who destroys the enemy by tearing him to pieces (Eph. 4:8; 2 Cor. 10:5). - w. lee. ) which are for all of the people of God across all space and all time. Even all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

Noting only a few exceptions, these living saints will never see death.

My life articulates a lattice upon which any astute Bible teacher would be apt to hang and to display (and to teach) many previously hidden divine revelations. One such divine revelation is a 1-2 step to transfer the saints, the church, from earth to heaven. This will produce what could be called an hour of trial upon the earth; I would call it a sausage fest. No. let’s say "welcome to sausage town!"

...No, we MUST call it PLANET SAUSAGE; I will be kept out of that hour of trial,...as anyone could imagine.

https://jony5.com/?vv=rev3_10-11Revelation 3:10-11 - Because you have kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth. I come quickly; hold fast what you have that no one take your crown.

During this 1-2 step hour of trial, the King will martyr the product of my big[sic] brother Jermaine Holloway's ATL breeding activities with "scared ATL girls" for Jezebel (they are her children) straight into my heavenly household; others will seek for this kind of death, martyrdom, and will not find it.

Revelation 2:23 is the King of kings assembling my household in heaven.

Thundercats hooo!
https://jony5.com?vv=rev2_21-23,29Revelation 2:18-23, 29 - And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works; 23 And her children I will kill with death; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the inward parts and the hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your works. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Once in heaven, I will be seated at table next to Jesus Christ our Lord, the King of kings and Lord of all lords, for eternity, and my new creation heavenly borne household in 100% resurrection will have +50 billion sisters and gay brothers who, by the date of their first birth, their earthy birth, go back even to the 1800's.

This has all been prepared for me beforehand by God my heavenly Father...Father of eternity...and, this prepared portion will be poured directly into my bosom here in space and in time,
very soon.

Also, the King has two swords, two seats,...two hounds. I suspect that both of the Kings dogs in office are straight wolves from the tribe of Benjamin. Therefore, the other guy is almost certainly Jewish, and I suspect that his heavenly house is much larger than mine as I look to be the more uncomely member that lacked...and but still with that brother also having never married in life whilst serving the Lord faithfully even unto death.

This is an excellent question! You see, back in the days of dial up (late 90's), I was quite new to the world of the interwebs. I didn't even have an email address. Realizing that I needed to get some kind of messaging account called an email address, I went to the folks at Juno. They hooked me up with a free email account and dial-up
internet access!

When I was filling out the Juno forms to get an email address, they asked me what I wanted it to be. I had no idea! Well, at that time, I had just finished watching the movie Short Circuit, and so I was like "I'll get the email jony5." (Johnny 5). From that point forward, I was [email protected]. This era of my digital existence was defined by slow loading images and phone calls that broke the internet connection!

The birth of my nickname came about a little while later. In 2000, I had successfully (and satisfactorily) interviewed for a job with the bike shop at the Perimeter REI store. Before completing some introductory job placement materials and being released into the gene pool of REI employees, the manager told me that there were already 3 or 4 "Jonathans" working at the store, and I would have to have a different name. I told her that my email address was [email protected], and so maybe I could be "jony5".

At that moment, Elizabeth christened me as such, and for the next 4 years, people ONLY knew me as "jony5". In fact, I even had one coworker write a check to me as "Johnny 5." I was like, "dude, that's not my real name!" As I sit here and reminisce, I realize how fortunate I really was to be associated with people of that calibre. I mean, I have always worked with really great people! Like marbling in a premium cut of the choicest beef, the genesis of my nickname jony5 is intertwined with some of the coolest and most down-to-earth people I've been fortunate enough to have been able to know.

In January of 2006, I acquired (for the first time in my life) a little puppy dog! At a loss for what to name him, I decided to go with "J5"...a play off of my nickname "jony5". About a month later, I found myself working with advertising agency, Moxie...and introduced myself to them as "jony5"...the name given to me by coworkers at REI. The office was dog friendly, and so people became accustomed to seeing "J5" and "jony5"...which gradually morphed over time to "the 2 fives", "five squared" or just simply "J5 and J5".

At this point (16 years from the start), many of my friends (including all my Moxie coworkers) and even family members call me "J5", and that is just fine with me.
