The Blinding Wall



Only the living can forgive, only through the living can a blessing come through, and only through the living can holiness be imparted.

Do not pray to the dead, do not honor the dead, do not worship the dead. Our Master is a risen form, the first ressurect. Do not pray to, worship, or honor angels. Angels are servants, messengers. Angels have no comprehension of the trials of the flesh. They only regard the soul we are, their purpose is rooted in the will of God. Angels whom assist man are fallen, corrupt, wicked, and will be judged.

Do not allow men to separate you from the Father. Forgiveness has been bought at a great cost, and no longer needs sacrifice, merely repentance. Consequence in the form of penance  does not honor the blood of the lamb, it honors the sin of the flesh and the wickedness in heavenly realms that influence the living through the world. Do not allow sin to be honored in the presence of the Father, as it denies His Truth the etenal authority it holds.

Ours is a personal relationship with the Father through His Truth. We put aside ourselves and what the world expects of us, so that in moments placed in front of us, holiness can come through us by the living conscience, the unseen greatness that is the kingdom of God. By the eternal truth and through this kingdom alone, does holiness serve the will of God through man.

No other gods, angels, idols, nor the dead, nor the living, separate us from the kingdom and our capacity to serve the Father's purpose. Only the living can forgive. Only the living can love. Only through the living can truth supply holiness. And only through the living can faith find deed.

Our God is of the living, not the god that the dead supply, not the god that sacrifice honors, not the god of sin and consequence, not the god of wickedness and descension. Our God is the God of the living, and His Word has overcome death, and is the risen, the victor, and our salvation. Have no other gods between the Almighty and your soul. Only through the soul in you, and the risen Life eternal; is there reconcilliation with the Father, and a chance to serve His will.

Do not be decieved by the false doctrine of man, which is found in every man made religion that places itself between you and the will of God. The only religion that the Father recognizes is charity, which is loving one another. Treating one another as you would have yourselves be treated.

Remember the Father by remembering the love he showed by sacrificing His Son for our sins, this, so He could be reconcilled to the living through this truth. We cannot know His will, except through the sincerity founded in recognition of it's cost. We put ourselves aside, like His Son put himself aside. We do not replace the truth with another god, or heavenly form, or the dead, or allow others to create consequence where there is none. For the living the truth is the only way to the Father.

Know now what is in front of you.

Obedience is to the unseen

Saturday, December 29th, 2018

Jeremiah 7:22-26
22
For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
23
but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you.
24
But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
25
From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again I sent you my servants the prophets.
26
But they did not listen to me or pay attention. They were stiff-necked and did more evil than their ancestors.’

---

It is not that the Hebrews were stripped of opportunity to have the living conscience of God with them. It was that each time a prophet returned them to reconcilliation, they just considered themselves righteous and again turned away; doing again their own will. The kingdom of heaven has always been available to the living, as our God is the God of the living. But the kingdom only supplies the will of the Father through His truth. And for the Hebrews and even to this very day; Islam and Judaism fall further away from reconcilliation that the eternal prophet, the final and most holy prophet, the first ressurect brought to them as good news.

Do not doubt that the Father loves the children of Abraham. But we also know that the children of Abraham are not considered by geneology but as children of faithfulness. Of Sarah.

And scattered throughout the world are those who are chosen and will be gathered to live eternally as co heirs of God, as brothers and sisters to the Messiah, the one and only Son of God, the living Word. "Walk in obedience to all I command you.." never meant the temple ceremonials and traditions. It was meant to be recognized as spiritual. Like Abraham with Isaac. It was faith that placed him in obedience not the ceremonial offering.

It was Abraham relying on the unseen qualities of God that God recognized as righteousness. It was not that Abraham was righteous, it was that righteousness came through Abraham, AMEN AMEN. Righteousness is in God alone. Righteousness does not come from perfect knowledge of sin. Righteousness is what we Christians consider the fruits of the Holy Spirit that come 'through' us.

See?

The kingdom is the living conscience that can only  serve the will of God. This is why the Lord said through Jeremiah: ' Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people.' Obedience was not stoning someone for doing deeds on the Sabbath, no, obedience was loving one another, and the opportunity to treat one another as you woild have yourselves be treated.

The kingdom serves the will of God. And God is love. So what can we say? How important is it for Christians to deny themselves and allow the fruits of the Holy Spirit to come through them by the kingdom?

It is the obedience that our Master showed us, it is the love we are commanded to have for the Father; as well as, one another. We are a beacon in the darkness, we are the water from the rock, we are the split sea, we are the wall of fire, we are the example of hope. So we allow what is holy to act through us, putting aside ourselves. This is an act of love that is eternal, and greater than ourselves.

As Jesus said, Be holy as I am Holy. So we deny ourselves so perfection can instead work through us by the kingdom. This is how the Father's will is done through imperfect being such as us. Judaic amd Islamic believers will bow and confess that the truth of God does His will alone. Christ Jesus is the living Word of God, the truth as the eternal authority, and therefore is the only way to obey the Father.

Mount of Olives

Luke 22:42
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."

and

Mark 14:36
"Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."

and

Matthew 26:39

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."

---

He was alone when he said this to the Father. So how do we know he said what is said here. We do not know what he said. Nor did these disciples know he said it. I have noticed this in other sub texts before as well. Three different takes on one specific topic.
1. If you are willing
2. Everything is possible
3. if it is possible

Number one is hopeful. Number two is faithful. And most importantly number three: He didn't want to let the Father down, because he loved him.

The three gifts of the Holy Spirit, defined in the last hours before his arrest. The disciples could not hear what he said, but instead, they could sense what he was going through. Facedown, sweating, likely weeping. Our savior faced this wrath because he loved the Father.

I think the Mount of Olives represents the sincerity of the Son of God. Many times does he retreat to it to petition the Father. It is a very human countenance to retreat to get a sense of things, to realign ourselves, to get our bearings. Jesus did this, amd whem he did it was to pray and to strengthen his resolve to do the Father's will.

I know this because that is what Christians face. We enter each day and are disrupted, angered, lied to, persecuted, doubted, questioned, mocked, and even judged. All these things serve the same reason; to distract us from the Father's will. And it takes quiet moments, and sincere prayer to realign ourselves. And if Jesus had to step away, how much more do we have to remove ourselves from a setting.

We are far from maintaining holiness, as we are not the righteous people. We are under grace; we walk in our transgressions. Holiness would have never been available to us had the Holy Spirit not been sent. The living conscience either relied on instinct like animals do, or, it developed from it's gained knowledge of good and evil. It was not until the ascension of Christ Jesus, that holiness was made available to us. Our reconcilliation to the Father is solely because of this. Holiness comes through the living conscience of those whom carry the truth within them, doing then, the Father's will instead of their own.

So as Jesus took the cup of wrath upon himself, because it was the Father's will. Then in victory over death, Jesus had authority to provide the Holy Spirit.

All were invited and few are chosen.

Renew your hope. In faith be confident. We are not perfect, but perfection can surely work through us. Love must be the foundation of all service. When you are derailed by the world and those around you, return to the mount of olives, find peace in the presence of the Father.

Find strength in confirming your own willingness to do His will. Love Him, keep returning to Him.

The holiness of Truth

Thursday, December 27th, 2018

The holiness of the Truth

In every circumstance Jesus is shown to do a miraculous act or miracle, he did so with authority. Even his reading of holy scripture and his teaching methods were seen as one of authority by those witness to it. How does this apply to us?

Well we know the great commission is over, so we do not expect healings to occur. And we know deminic possession is not longer a thing because the enemy was defeated and is bound under the authority of the living Word of God. And we also know that the testimonials and witness accounts found in the new testament form a confirmation, not a replacement for holy scripture. So how do we acknowledge the authority of the Holy One in our walk?

---

Hebrews 11:1
1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

---

That is not worded very well, but the understanding is easy enough to comprehend. When we believe that something sincerely will bloom from our hope in the unseen quality of God and Spirit. This, and having what is hope for based in love, and the foundation of holy manifestation in our moments. What can manifest? Holy fruits and the products of holy gifts. All through those whom believe in the gospel of Christ Jesus as the Son of God arisen. For the living Word of God is the Eternal Authority, and what can manifest, does manifest through his authority by the kingdom and of the Holy Spirit. Faith, in this context is not the holy fruit but is belief, a 'confidence in what we hope for'.

So how does confidence in what we hope for, mimic the authority Jesus showed in his acts? Well as we know, Jesus did his Father's will. And when we believe in Jesus and his eternal authority, we too have confidence that truth is going to work through us. This is why we have to set ourselves aside, so that truth can live within us.

Moments create reality, and moments bloom fruit, either of us or of holiness. Like Christ Jesus, holiness comes from doing the Father's will. And we are called to be holy, as he is holy. We are called to allow holiness to act through us. And our confidence this can happen is the same authority Christ Jesus showed doing the Father's will. The form of holiness that comes through those whom walk in their transgressions is not in miracles nor in miraculous acts. It is more in the form of holiness, like perfection acting through imperfection. Being loving, showing kindness, showing faithfulness, being gentle, bringing joy, creating peacefulness, showing patience, having goodness, and maintaining self control.

These are not human traits, although science and psychology would suggest otherwise. These traits are holy and are not self serving, they only come through the truth being within us, and that only occurs when we deny ourselves. Holiness is godly.

The righteous who walked with perfect knowledge of good and evil, did not recognize the truth that righteousness is of the Father alone. They assumed perfection could be achieved through knowledge of sin. This is why when Jesus, whom carried the Spirit of Truth within him, spoke, he spoke with an authority, a confidence they could not deny nor in some cases; comprehend. Among generations of Hebrews, it was only those whom were born of faith, 'assurance about what we do not see', that were considered the true children of Abraham.

Confidence in the unseen qualities of God is the lesson of Christ Jesus' authority here. So what can we say? Pray is strongest in secret and silence. That holiness is perfection working through those whom believe, and in denying themselves; can be confident of the fruit they bear. We can say that faith is holy, a part of God, and therefore faith acts through us to serve others and not ourselves.

Christ did his Father's will because he loved him. And that foundation of love itself was also a fruit of the Holy Spirit, holy. So Christ's love for the Father was the foundation of the faithfulness that came through him, that provided us a sense of authority, which remains for us to believe in, and be confident of. Which is another way of saying, when I deny myself in a moment to lovingly serve another with a kindness that is greater than me, I can be confident it is holiness working through the kingdom; doing the Father's will.

No creature is holy. We are simply emmanations of this world. But, purpose is found in surpassing ourselves to allowing holiness, spiritual truth, to manifest. And for us whom walk in our trangressions, this holiness comes through us in moments, and honors the Father, showing Him to be alone righteous.

Amen.

Whitewashing the Border wall between Mexico and Mystery Babylon

Ezekiel 13:15-16 15 So I will pour out my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, “The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, 16 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign Lord. ---Whitewashing is a metaphor for false prophesy. Prophesy which is only from the imagination of those whom have authority over believers. Back in the days of the Prophet Ezekiel we note that politics played a role in the temple. And this, not of the will of God but the influence of men whom considered themselves of authority, righteous in their perfect knowledge. Whitewashing is a term used to cover up falsehoods. Whitewashing is the use of lies and deciet to subvert a group to a specific end. In the case of this holy prophecy of Ezekiel's; we see peace is promised, when the Sovereign Lord said there would be no peace.

Today we see similarities in the times that coincide with this prophesy. We see a wall being built to keep out those who seek to have equal opportunity as those whom are building the wall. We see greed using people on both side of the wall, ones whom covet and ones whom envy, Amen.

Is it Money or God whom is the master? Well, in this situation we know it is money. And although those whom build the wall make claims in the name of the Lord, and claims even of peace in Jerusalem, we know this is false, and solely imagination. The whitewashing continues to suit those of authority.--- Ezekiel 13:5-8 5 You have not gone up to the breaches in the wall to repair it for the people of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of the Lord. 6 Their visions are false and their divinations a lie. Even though the Lord has not sent them, they say, “The Lord declares,” and expect him to fulfill their words. 7 Have you not seen false visions and uttered lying divinations when you say, “The Lord declares,” though I have not spoken? 8 “ ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you,' declares the Sovereign Lord." --- There has been motions in this time to make Jerusalem the center of Israel, and there has been boasts of peace made, when there is no peace. There has been false prophesy spoken out of the lips of those who would whitewash intentions with imagination. And in the name of the Sovereign Lord, these false prophecies are given weight only by the authorities of man. Much that is to come is because of the lack of truth. Not that the truth was unavailable, but that it has been known, and ignored. Ignored as it calls for those 'with' to treat as equals those who are 'without'. So whitewashing is very much a real issue. And what is to come, will consume the lives of both sides of this wall. And none will honor God. And all will fall short and require mercy at judgement. And the one who leads the masses to this, will be held accountable, and knows they will be held accountable. But they put themselves between the people and the sovereign Lord thinking they can force the will of God. And this is why total destruction awaits them. All for handfuls of commodities in a meaningless existence. The enemy uses greed and envy to reap vast harvests of mankind. Generations pass, and even the message of reconcilliation to the Father is given. Yet; mankind remains loyal to it's self, denying the truth, and therefore God and one another. --- Deuteronomy 32:35 35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them."

Christians and the LGTBQ2+

This post is touching on a massive topic, but it is based mainly on the sub topic of transgenderism. This is the goto bible passage for what the Lord our God says regarding transgenderism:

---

Deuteronomy 22:5
5
A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.

---

That is a holy scripture, there is no denying it. But since then, the direction of Judaism and Islamic understanding was given the opportunity to know the Truth of the Word of God. It came to us in the form of the Son of God. I know him as the Christ, Jesus.

He fulfilled the Law of sin, and the prophesies of his coming. He performed miracles and wonders to prove it to that generation, and he set forth disciples into the outlying regions to spread the good news. The good news was of the kingdom of heaven. No, not a place as much as a state of spiritual fullness. Since the ascension of Jesus, the Spirit of this eternal truth was sent among us. And through this kingdom, the conscience of perfection could act through our souls, as, our souls were supplied through this same truth. All we have to do is deny our selves and that truth can act through us.

Now understanding that, the sin each individual is active in, becomes apparent. This is called grace. By grace we are shown the poverty of the flesh we are in. Meaning we see what our soul, which is pure, is tempted with, which directly correlates with the natural desires of the form we reside in. It is by this twmptation we are led to the choices we make in our day. If you steal, you now see it keeps you from the confidence it takes to have truth act through you. If you covet your worldliness, you now see it keeps you from the confidence it takes to have the truth act through you. And, similarly, if you are active in same sex relationships that enable your desires, you now see it keeps you from the confidence it takes to have the truth act through you. Grace makes us aware of what we need to put aside. It doesnt make us perfect, but it does allow what is perfect to them work through us. And that is holiness.

So Jesus taught many things, some new, some just confirming:

Forgive to be forgiven.
Judge not.
Love one another.
Be a beacon.
Fear God not man.
Treat others how you would have yourself be treated.

You see, the enemy is not the man. The enemy is what distracts the man from faith(spiritual confidence). In this case of irregular sexual practices; it is the desires of the flesh that hosts that soul, that is the enemy that distracts man from God. This flesh does have a spectrum of gender, but it is balance by the other sex. Meaning there is an effeminant man for every dominant woman, as much as there is a femmine woman for every dominant man. And the spectrum even varies over a lifetime of partnering. A man and a woman balance each other out. Having now said that, single people are not supplied that balance, and the culture they are in either provides liberty or fear of what is natural to the individual. And this is why, denying the flesh, and putting God first truly is freeing. Because the end result is a confidence in what is Holy as well as self control.

So you allow love to act through you for the sake of those whom do not know Love.

As servants of Christ, we need to understand the average worldly person comprehension of love comes solely from the desires of the flesh that lead them into their sin. Exactly like us before we found grace.

Transgender is being enforced by the culture of this generation. It parallels the empowerment of women. It parrallels the over reliance on automation and technology. Men are becoming compliant and complacent, while women and technology are becoming dominant and relied upon. It is easy to judge those whom have fallen into mental illness. Homosexuality amd bisexuality and transexuality are mental illnesses, a derivitive of idleness. But this culture sees them as liberated lives, social freedoms.

I personally struggle with it as well. Although I was raised proper, and do not partake in same sex relationships, the climate in our society mixed with effeminate men in our media, mixed with empowered genderisms, mixed with personal struggles...it doesnt take much to bring a man down. So I have a very clear perception of both sides of this issue.

If you judge a man in a weakened state, you only serve to condemn him to it. If you treat others as you would have yourself be treated, you allow the man to see how you supply yourself strength. Remember that none are without sin. And remember that it is the sick who need a doctor not the healthy.

Be loving.

1 Corinthians 13:3-5
3
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, b but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

---

So what can we say? God is love. Love is holy. Love is spiritual, and not based on the rewards of the flesh or the enabling of human relationships. Love comes from denying ourselves, allowing the fruits of the Holy Spirit to act through us. Yes, sexual perversions disgust the Lord, but so does hypocrisy.

What you do in the name of Jesus Christ; is Love. 

***additional note: as Christians we allow other to be witness to the fruits of the Holy Spirit that come through us. We do not scold, judge, or isolate individuals with holy scripture. Instead we allow them to witness what fruits of the Holy Spirit come through us. Although I mention the mental illness aspect, this is not a case of psychology, we as Christians are beacons of spirituality.***

Purpose: of Faith and Forgiveness

Numbers 15:35
35
Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp."
Exodus 31:15
15
For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.

---

Was not the opportunity to: not stone or isolate those whom neglected the Sabbath, but to instead bring them to repent? To by faith seek forgiveness, and be forgiven also? Yes, what commission of Law was not in place to create opportunities to invoke faith, forgiveness, and love.

---

Genesis 22:8
8
Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together.

---

And did not Abraham have his hand stayed, by the voice of the Lord, to show that faith is righteous and is of the Father? Yes. And as the lineage of Abraham spread across the world, it is those who show confidence in the unseen qualities of the Father and His Holy Spirit, that will celebrate the marriage of the physical with the spiritual through the living Word of God who is the first ressurect, the new creation.

--- 

Acts 5:3-4
3
Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
4
Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

---

And does Acts 5 not speak also of the failings of Peter in considering the ministry of faith as the foundation of another religion instead of a personal relationship with the Father for believers? Was not Ananias and Sapphira the victims of 'a spiritual stoning' by Peter? Yes.

The opportunity to forgive was overlooked because the value of his own personal knowledge of sin outweighed the faith it takes to carry the truth forward in every situation.

Now, the opportunity is for us to forgive Peter his trespass, because it is ours to forgive and so be forgiven.

The Rock is the will of God and the Church is the Spirit of Truth acting by the kingdom of heaven through those whom believe, (in Christ Jesus; the rejected cornerstone), and deny themselves so holiness can bear it's fruit. It has never been the acts of man that describe holiness. No. It has always been the fruits and gifts of the Spirit of Eternal Truth, that describe holiness through this temporary form. And that is the very purpose we seek, but have remained blind to. The physical existence holds no value without holiness to provide purpose.

Gold erodes, oceans dry, mountains turn to rubble. But the Word of God, remains. Our reconcilliation to the Father is eternal, we need only discover it in faithfulness. Amen.  Amen.

In Grace: of Goodness, and of Holiness

Here is this Pharisee, this high ranking prosecutor, one whom was greatly respected, and whose knowledge of the Law made him the hand of justice. The Isrealites having become powerful, even stoned their own kind if they missed Sabbath. This official of the Chief Priests was sent out as a hand of temple authority among man. Arresting men and women for crimes against the temple Law.

Cyrus the great, allowed by edict, religious beliefs to be kept by people in the regions he ruled. This was acknowledge by the Hebrews of Isaiah's time, and they considered Cyrus, annointed by the Lord God because of it. But here we are in a time of strength for Israel, witnessing the hypocrisy of power, seeing Christians hunted down and arrested for beliefs that threatened temple authority.

What does grace do? It shows us that what is good is of God. As there is none among us whom are good. There is only among the children of the womb, those whom rely on their own personal understanding, which is based off their own personal knowledge of good and of evil. Grace shows those it is placed upon, that righteousness is of God alone. *Grace, humbles the greatness of man, but, raises him up in purpose.*

---

Acts 9:1-5

Saul’s Conversion
1
Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest
2
and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3
As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4
He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied.

---

Acts 23:6-8
6
Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead."
7
When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8
(The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe all these things.)

---

Paul was chosen by Christ, because his testimony created war, spiritual war, among the children of God. The truth brings true division, cleaves those whom rely on their knowledge of sin and those who have faith like Abraham had faith. For it has always been about honoring the Father, not this flesh, and this separation in the presence of the Lord, either honored the creation or it honored the creator. Christ Jesus ministered for the latter, by doing the Father's will.

---

Acts 9:20-22
20
At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.
21
All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22
Yet Saul grew more and more powerful, and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.
23
After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him,

---

Here is what is good. Goodness is action that comes through us that is holy. Holiness is not of us inbour imperfect state, no. *Holiness; is known by the spiritual fruits and gifts is bears. Holiness occurs through those in the grace their belief in Christ Jesus supplies, by the kingdom of the Holy Spirit of God.* So, what is good, is holy, and shows the Father to be alone righteous.

---

1 Peter 1:14-16
14
As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
15
But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
16
for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

---

 and

---

Leviticus 20:26
26
You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.

---

 *Never was is said we become good, nor was it ever said we become holy. No, what is now made clear is that what is good is holy, what is holy is spiritual, and what is spiritual; comes by spiritual means of the kingdom of heaven, through those whom believe, and by grace, have come to understand they must deny themselves so the eternal authority of truth may bear fruit through them, showing righteousness is of the Father alone.*

Amen

Faith supplies Completion

*We were gifted life to show us that our reaction to the temporary separates us from the eternal.*

---

Colossians 2:10
and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.

---

This is hard to comprehend. But the wickedness in heavenly places must fall under his direction as well then. And so would the enemy Satan, and so would Moses, and so would Elijah, and so would the our stary hosts. All spiritual authorities that Lord over us, do so under the eternal authority.

After the Holy Spirit came upon him, Jesus knew he was to be murdered. He spoke about it in parables, until the last times, when he spoke about it plainly. He did his Father's will. He allowed the eternal authority that was actually a part of his spirit and tied to the Father, he allowed it to work through him. He suffered from the moment he rose from the waters of that cleansing, to the moment the water and blood fell from his husk. He did his Father's will, and died for our sins, because his Father loved us, and he was to be the cornerstone of our reconcilliation to the Father. A reconcilliation that to be complete requires faithfulness, belief.

The Father is all things, so His authority is in all things. This means understanding can never be complete, it must at some point turn into faith
. The Hebrews of the Law of sin, sought out perfect knowledge. This knowledge of good and evil allowed them to walk a path of righteous decisions, which could include venegeance, defiance, theft, murder, covetous, adultery, mysticism, idolatry, hatred, and many other human reactions to knowledge. They were shown rituals and ceremonials to cleanse themselves by the Father's authority, to return to him after having separated themselves from the spiritual so to act on their own. The only fulness was seen in the prophets and fulfilled in Christ Jesus. They were to turn away from self fulfillment through their knowledge of good and evil,  and instead begin to act on faith, and by doing so discover the will of God.

The Word of God is now the living Word of God. It has gained that which was not of it directly, which is the power of death. But death even before is was overcome, did have to acknowledge the eternal authority it was headed by. But since the beginning; it lied about it. We are even told it lied. But how disturbing to know the enemy is in itself under the eternal authority. As we know all power and authorities are under the eternal authority of the Word of God.

Angels themselves are linear in power. They serve or they deliver messages, they are extensions of the eternal authority in this way. Saul questioned  this authority and was blinded, Zachariah questioned it and was muted. Two angels were saved from savagery when Lot supplied his two virgin daughters to the men of Sodom in their stead. An angel fought with David by the river until dawn to supply him with courage and esteem. The eternal authority that angels serve or deliver messages from, has purpose, perfected in faith. No understanding of this authority is complete, as faith is the fruit of it's power.

So in our times, what can we ascertain, what can we derive? That wickedness will increase, and many will fall away from belief. They react to what they do not understand, because they remain reliant on their knowledge of good and evil. This is why many are invited and only few are chosen. But in terms of purpose, this separation is also divine, and complete.

The faithful do not seek understanding, they serve the will of the Father, by His Spirit of Truth. That faith is what shows the Father to be righteous. For the faithful, this service is born of confidence that in denial of self, the Spirit of Truth can serve the will of God through the kingdom. That kingdom is the same kingdom all heavenly power and authorities work by. It has an unseen quality. And the gifts and fruits themselves are spiritual, holy, full.

The enemy's service and what it provides is not eternal, although what brought them to task is. The tasking of the enemy's service and what it provides is temporary, and is already foretold to have an end. It is an ending of a service, one which none will have remeberance of. The complete understanding of the will of God is not something we need, if we love the Father. Instead, we serve His will, and allow it the act through us because we believe. It is these deeds of faith that show His purpose.

 *We were gifted life to show us that our reaction to the temporary separates us from the eternal.*

Cyrus an annointed one

Isaiah 45:20,21

20
“Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations.

Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.

21
Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.

Who foretold this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?

Was it not I, the Lord?

And there is no God apart from me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none but me.

---

Cyrus was labelled many things. Even annointed.
What should be recognized is how politically charged this chapter in Isaiah is. Cyrus conquered and allowed those he conquered to keep their religions. The Hebrews considered this great. But what it did was support the Law and honored those on the path that claimed righteousness. Perfect knowledge never placed a soul in the presence of the Father. And this chapter in  Isaiah does supply the truth in it's prophesy. But, that prophesy was not fulfilled until Christ Jesus brought denial of self on the foundation of the repent. Righteousness was found to be solely based on faithful acts, not perfect knowledge. The Hebrews labelled this conqueror annointed, yet murdered their Messiah. The KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS came through the lineage of David, and is our first ressurect.

---

Isaiah 45:19
19
I have not spoken in secret,
from somewhere in a land of darkness;

I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,

‘Seek me in vain.’

I, the Lord, speak the truth; I declare what is right.

---

Ours is a merciful God. Our Saviour does his Father's will. All glory will find the Father as righteous.

---

Deuteronomy 4:31
31
For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

---

Galatians 3:7
7
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.

---

Romans 9:8
8
In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.

---

Isaiah 45:22-24
22
“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

23
By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked:

Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.

24
They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength.’ ”

All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.


---

Cyrus developed the edicts that made it possible for the Hebrews to keep their religion during occupation. Although this did not directly honor the Father, it did make a path that allowed the practice of Law and the prophesy of the Lord's prophets to continue. In this there is a lesson for the close minded views of dogmatic Christian houses. All of mankind serves God, as, even the heavenly hosts are managed by Him. Through him is wealth as through Him is poverty. And all serve a purpose that our existence cannot place meaning upon. Although as Christians, we carry the truth in our spiritual acts, we are also called to love our enemy. This, because mankind is ruled by the inner workings of eternal authorities.

---

Isaiah 45:11,12
11
“This is what the Lord says—

the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:

Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?

12
It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens;

I marshaled their starry hosts.

---

There is wickedness in heavenly realms, yes. But as beings of soul and mist, our influence is bound in each other. We should not question the influences of hosts we cannot yet judge. Instead, we have opportunity to honor the truth by allowing the Spirit of Truth to work through us to serve lovingly. When we deny our desires, and allow the fruits of the Holy Spirit to instead come through us by the kingdom upon us. Simply, we allow what is perfect to provide for others what in our imperfection we cannot provide.

God makes a man great. Man shows God to be righteous.

Powerless in this World



1 Thessalonians 3:12-13
12
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.
13
May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

---
And
---

Colossians 3:3-4
3
For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
4
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

---

The strength we need is supplied, we need only have faith. There is nothing we cannot overcome, as what is required of us will never be something we cannot handle. Failure is not a spiritual understanding. Failure is a realization of worldliness. Love does not fail, and faith does not lack strength.

I really struggle with this. I feel I am being punished all the time because of my worldly failings. Not a spiritual suffering, no. As a individual, I have been stripped of worth in this world. Made to feel less of a man, less of a parent, less of a partner, less of a friend, less of a co worker, less of a leader, less of an employee. All because I have put love first. All because I will not allow this existence to have value beyond the spiritual. This world no longer recognizes me, and I am rediculed, and shown to be a failure because of it. I do struggle with this.

The time of Law, was unlike this. Those who took an undertanding of sin, could then overcome others with that perfect knowledge. Judians and Islamists do this to this very day. They know that sin makes mankind subserviant through their desires, and so they lead mankind by their desires, and benefit in worldly ways from it. They do not treat others as they would have themselves be treated. They instead benefit from the principalities of wickedness found in heavenly places. So for them, what is righteousness is denying themselves what their perfect knowledge has granted them as power.

As Christians, we do not gain from the influence of wickedness in heavenly realms. We walk a path that abandons self, so that holiness can act through us. This holiness can come through us in our imperfect state of being. We do not serve ourselves by the influence of sin, instead we rely on faith and serve others through it. Through the kingdom is how the Spirit of Truth provides this holiness. Of course it comes in the form of spiritual gifts and fruit. As Christians, strength does not come from the Lord to achieve worldliness, build livelihoods, or cater to relationships. As Christians, strength comes in the moments we seek it to have holiness come through us by the kingdom.

Loving takes strength. In a world that no longer recognizes us, and with a population we no longer belong to, it takes strength to love others, love the enemy. Having the truth living through us, brings persecution, brings suffering. We are not called to overcome the world, we are called to love.

When the living Word of God returns to union with what has been promised to him, what holiness we have supplied as a part of the body, will be acknowledged, and added to us. What that means is our reward comes after we are raised into our eternal form.

This existence is up till our death, an opportunity to have holiness come through us, harvesting for the truth, reaping for life by doing the Father's will. And the will of God is to believe in the example of selflessness His son provided for us. We wash the feet of those who will ultimately fail us, we allow our enemies to persecute and strip us of all humanity. We forgive trespasses, we love; treating others how we would have ourselves be treated.

I struggle with being powerless in this world. It would be easy to use knowledge of weakness to gain wealth and influence among man. But I am called to do the will of God, not satisfy my desires. Glory belongs to the Truth, and we honor that truth with love.

Faithful acts: The reconciliation

To serve by deeds

Luke 17:7-10
7
“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’?
8
Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?
9
Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?
10
So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’

---

It is one thing to be believe in the Son.
It is another thing entirely to show it.

Faith without deeds is dead. James speaking to Judeo Christians says faith without deeds is dead . In Luke 17 this ministry is given to example set out by Jesus.

It was never enough to award oneself with that mark of righteousness because one knows how to interpret good from evil. It is either in faith we walk or in sin. No manner of perfect knowledge accohnts for deeds done in faith. This is what the ministry of the annointed one brought the Judeans. This messiah wanted them to understand that denying themselves was the fulfillment of law, and that acting on faith; was the fulfullment of the prophets. In this, what became clear is that righteousness was in the Father alone, no act of man was recog ized as righteous without faith. And faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, not the flesh.

For Christians, those whom did not develop from the Law or the Prophets, they also come to understand that what is holy comes through them. Through them in the form of deeds of faithfulness. Forgiveness; graced to us through the blood of the lamb, we who walk in our trangressions serve the truth that lives in us, and by the spiritual kingdom, works through us. Again, showing it is not us whom are holy, but holiness comes through us in our spiritual acts.

We serve. And it is by this service we realize we are a part of someyhing greater when we humbly put iurselves aside to serve others selflessly; lovingly. And this is not a worldly act, but instead a spiritual act. And it is validated as holy by the fruits these acts bear:

Joyfulness, gentleness, kindness, faithfulness, love, goodness, peace, patience, and self-control.

These acts cannot come from the worldly, nor from any other principals other than the eternal authority of the Truth. The world alters what is seens as good and calls it evil, while they claim what is evil to be good. The world alters what is love and calls it hate, while they claim what is hate to be love. The children of the world can only be witness to our acts, the cannot understand them. It is only by grace that we ourselves can discern(recognize) the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Serve. We serve the will of the Father. We do this only by denying ourselves, so that His Truth can act through us. Otherwise, we are the same as Judeans, Islamists, or even pagans. All whom react to what is put in front of them; where then they act based on their knowledge of good and evil. And subsequently, that is how they are all a part of the will of wickedness in heavenly realms. They do not know the will of God, simply because they do not know His truth. So the truth does not know them, and they rely on their own understanding instead of the acts of faith that comes through a Christian. Deeds from faith, that are holy.

All deserve mercy. All can be loved.

Judeo Christians and the rest of the World

 Sunday, December 9, 2018

Judeo Christians and the rest of the World

Galatians 2:9
9
James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.

---

The gospel in the books of Hebrews, James, 1st, 2nd Peter, Luke, and 1st, 2nd, 3rd John, Acts; all are directed at the temple jews whom these disciples were purposed to witness to about the gospel of Christ Jesus and the good news about the kingdom. There are distinct differences between their ministry, and the ministry of Paul, Timothy, Titus, and Barnabas.

The differences are easiest explained this way:

The path of righteousness
And
The way of those whom walk in their transgression

The path of righteousness, is what Jesus spoke of when he mentioned 'the old wine'. The temple jews were used to practising rituals and ceremonies that the Father was no longer going to recognize. And these believers had to understand that Jesus was now their mediation, and that the spirit of Elijah had already come in the form of John the Baptist. The messainic message of Christ Jesus had come, fulfilling prophesy. So as 'the old wine', these temple jews would have to become 'new wine', and leave behind what faith now replaced, amen. The book of acts speaks of very specific moments that lead to the corruption of Peter's apostlistic mission. The temple remained, and the Pharisees saw to it.

The rest of the world is outside of the temple. The greeks, the uncircumcized, all whom would listen. This was a different ministry, the ministry of Christianity. We did not have perfect knowledge being unaware of the ten commandments, and unaware of the prophets. Christianity was based on the two commandments of Christ: Love the Father with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul, and love one another. By living by these two commandments, those whom deny self and are forgiving of trespass, are showing they believe in the Christ, and would know eternal life, as it is only possible through him.

The two different groups formed into religions, which ultimately turned away from caring for widows and orphans, and instead became sociolitical monsters of bias and judgement. Wars and great atrocities have plagued the name of Jesus since the development of these houses of man. While, the purpose of Christ Jesus was to do the will of the Father; to bring us into personal relationships with the Father. The gospel of the kingdom, is to approach the Father by spiritual means, the kingdom within us, that is a part of the Holy Spirit which acts through us by it.

Peter and Paul, and the rest of the disciples all are loved as we are. None of us are perfect, all are corruptable, and all fall away from faith routinely. It is very much; the love for each other and the Father; that supplies the fuel we need, to continue to have good come through us.

We simply fail when we stop loving. Ours is a humbled existence in grace. Seeing the poverty we were in, before Christ Jesus rescued each of us. It is hard to live amongst those whom embrace and rely on that which we fight to deny ourselves of. Day to day, love is selfless, ungratified, and generally goes unnoticed. But it is in selfless service of others that the light we shine is seen. It is seen by those who seek it, and it is seen by the enemy as well. We suffer every time we choose to love. We suffer everytime we rely on prayer. We suffer everytime we deny ourselves. We are called to suffering, like our Christ suffered. It is the only path the truth set out before us. And their is no other victory than through Christ our Lord.

For a Christian, is there understanding in what was set aside for the ministry of Judeo Christians? Sure. If you correlate the Old Testament with the books of Peter, James, Luke, and John; there is a closure that is very confirming for those of little faith.

I minister to you here, and to others I meet, that when I received my annointing, the ministry of Paul was where the Holy Spirit took me. We are Christians, we rely on grace, we die of our old selves walking a path in our transgressions that only exists because; in Christ Jesus we have no condemnation. We do not know all that we do, and what we are shown in grace to deny, we work at. Our sincerity is in our silent prayer with the Father. We grow closer to Him through carrying the truth in us. What comes through the gospels is insight, like guidance. But, it is the Holy Spirit that works through us that matters. No amount of testimonies nor holy scriptures can save a soul. It is only through faith and deeds that we can show others the light. And all deeds and faith must be founded in love to be considered from the truth and sincere.

Go forth!

Imagination and the sense of being



Death gives life meaning, and the threat of death gives life passion. Death is the enemy, and the perishing form we inhabit houses death in an increasing amount. The more we believe in the meaning we create in death, the further we are from the truth. Death gives nothing freely, the cost is eternal.

Growing up, I remember playing games outside with friends. Games like war, and doctor, and marriage. I remember pretending I was a super hero, imagining I was saving a friend from danger, fearlessly defending them with my strength. All these games created a sense of being, a sense of character in me. What I developed was a belief, that was based of a very basic knowledge of good and evil. And this is the foundation that creates the worldly deception that bears no good fruit. Death gives life meaning, but life is meaningless, so what death gives only gives death meaning.. through life.

---
Isaiah 14:14
14
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
---

The eternal authority, is life. Death uses this physical realm to supply it's will. The souls we have, are of the eternal authority; they are of spirit. But housed in the flesh, and as a part of the world, souls develop understanding by collecting knowledge. And that knowledge souls gather, is based fleshly senses. These senses, respond to what is put in front of them in the moment. What is placed in front of these senses a soul reacts to. What is placed in front of them, is a sum of what they desire, and also, what the will of the world's authority leads them towards.

---
Gospel of Thomas, saying 28
28
1
Jesus said, "I took my stand in the midst of the world, and in flesh I appeared to them.
2
I found them all drunk, and I did not find any of them thirsty.
3
My soul ached for the children of humanity, because they are blind in their hearts and do not see, for they came into the world empty, and they also seek to depart from the world empty. 'But meanwhile they are drunk. When they shake off their wine, then they will change their ways."
---

The children of this world come into it empty handed and leave it empty handed, yet because of their desires, while they exist, they do all manner of acts to supply themselves what they desire, and what they feel gives them a sense of being. Life, the eternal authority, is left with an impression of what that soul honors. And in most cases, if not in faith of truth, a soul honors itself. And without truth, the soul proves itself reliant on the temporary, unable to deny self.

That is eternal damnation.

This is why, this heaven and this earth must end. Because Death must be removed, and the temporary must be forgotten. This is why we every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Christ Jesus is Lord, and that the Father is a merciful God. The Word of God is now the living Word of God. Having defeated Death, and as the first new creation, having been ressurected. All will be brought to reconciliation with the Father through His Truth.

---
John 4:16
Jesus replied, " I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
---

Jesus speaks of those in the kingdom are like children. This is not because they have immagination, nor because they have a sense of being. No, those who are come to the kingdom, seek it out of requirement. They are acting on faith. Faith that holy fruit can come through them for the sake of others. This; honors the will of God, this; glorifies the purpose of the Father through the Life that has been given to us. Out of requirement, we seek what is not of us, but from the kingdom that is within us.


Imagination and a sense of being are the basic developmental tools of all born of the world. We learn by putting self in a seat of judgement, and  gain knowledge of good and evil, from which we supply our self with meaning. Self, is the center in all meaning. But, only through the truth are we of one body, selfless and spiritually capable of recognizing God's purpose.

Eden, the Flood, Atlantis, and the Fire: Our Journey



The following is fully my understanding. I am not one for evidence, just summation for enlightenment.

The flood was localized to include the low lying regions of the mediteranian sea. The wildlife of the region was housed in the ark, before the ark was set afloat atop the flood waters. It is my belief that the timeline may also arrange an explanation to the lost island of Atlantis, and that the sinking of that land mass, in portions, or in full, created the dispersal pattern of the mediteranian. The area off Greece is where the Atlantis was said to be.

The book of Enoch expresses much about great knowledge that was brought to mankind through eternal angels whom ultimately corrupted the natural development of man with their influence. An influence; that included technological advancements, metalurgy, genetic development, and pharmacultural knowledge. All of which gave these angelic forms influence over mankind in the region. The flood destroyed this development, the hybrid children of the time, and the corrupted regions of the children of this worldliness.

Does any of this really matter? No. What does matter is that the time before the flood is expected to return before the end times begin. No, the hybrid children are bound and unable to live among mankind directly. Yes, the lustful promescuity, genetic manipulation, advanced technology, and pharmaculture are very much directly related.

---

 Matthew 24:36-39
The Day and Hour Unknown
36
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,  but only the Father.
37
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38
For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;
39
and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
---

We are not expecting a localized flood. The ending will be a world wide consuming fire. It is likely the consuming fire that is said to melt the elements, will be the product of the loss of the planet's ozone layer which keeps organic life from the harmful radiation of the sun.

Can it be stopped, of course not. As a matter of opinion, it is likely the ozone layer itself is cyclical, and will renew itself through a transitional timeline that will include the ionization of a percentage of the oceans. This ionization will create what was biblically mentioned in Enoch as well: the water of the atomosphere and the water of the oceans will have a transitional layer of highly electrified 'fog'. The horizon will be very low. But again this to will only be a time of transition where organic life will thrive on low light and heavy ozone. As the organic sheild of life develops carbon dioxide byproducts in a high enough percentile, the horizon will thin the low lying layer. The atomosphere will again separate the two waters.

We are but midst, this physical realm is very much a host to a different form of being, spirit.
Spirit does not supply the physical, and the physical does not effect the spiritual. Time and movement are reations of the physical. Eternal existence now, since the ressurection of the form of the Son of God, supplies the bridge between these two. A new creation. And for something to be new in eternal realms means something else has to be replaced. This, because eternity is complete, a fullness, Alpha and Omega.

Spirit and the physical where first introduced in what is biblically considered the garden of Eden. Which, was a transitional development that carried the attributes of the physical, but guarded within a timelessness. The first form that included spirit hosted by perishable flesh, entered the world; it was introduced. The bible speaks of this form and his partner as being booted out of the presence of the Creator. But because the will of the Creator is complete, the idea of expulsion being a failing; is only man's interpretation. A return to faith was always the intention.

The intermingling of heavenly beings, the children of the world, and the children of God; only separated the physical from the spiritual further. Faith was not being cultivated, instead, the wickedness that came from heavenly realms were being honored by the perishable for empowering their desires as temporary beings. Sin is what replaces faith.
So does it matter why or how the flood happend? No. But what does matter is the end times are very much real. No one including the first ressurect, knows when the end will begin.

So it is up to everyone capable of acknowledging themselves; to realize that denying themselves, honors the spiritual aspect of our Creator. And denying the flesh because this truth is the authority of eternal life. Faith or sin. And yet still, very few will acknowledge the image of God within them, because they simply cannot help but react by the sense they are bound by.

What is in front of us, in the moment, honors only the physical aspects of existence, and is meaningless. Meaningless because it denies the spiritual, and instead uses what is holy to supply what honors itself. In the end, all that will remain is the impression of time and the physical of the spiritual. And for those who relied on the physical to supply requirements, will never comprehend that what is a requirement in the physical is an opportunity to glorify the spiritual.

Life is eternal, spiritual, and already; a new form of creation. This heaven and earth will come to an end, and those who are the faithful nation will live redeemed and in glory to the Creator.

Our journey is to return to faith. The gospel of Christ Jesus supplies the Way.

Relying on knowledge is a departure from faith; as we react to what is in front of us. In the presence of God, denying knowledge represents an opportunity to honor the faith placed in us.


Faith or sin.

Personifying the Unseen Qualities of God


1 Peter 2:20
20
But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
----
There is suffering that comes upon those who are being used as an example for others. You will face humiliation, devistation, and punishment; that can be both mental and physical. This is not what false Christians find. No, it is the sincere whom truly get this blessing. And it is a blessing to be humbled and brought low. As dark as it seems, how we continue to glorify the Father when we have been stripped of all possible prides,  is considered faithfulness worthy of the Father's will.
A verse that speaks volumes of this is gound in Job.
---
Job 1:21
21
and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.
---
I found myself wondering tonight why the Lord continues to knock me back, bring me low, leave me in devistation. Not like others whom face a trial only to rise above it and benefit from their efforts. No, truly a Christian only gathers in faithfulness.
---
Isaiah 40:31
31
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
---
In Isaiah, he speaks of soaring on eagles wings, a surpassing of trial, the overcoming of circumstance through hope. But truly, a reliance on hope is what those whom follow the path of righteousness find, not those who live in thier transgtessions as Christians do. What the Christ Jesus showed us is; by faith we rise up after being brought low. It is not hope in the Lord that renews our strength, no. It has always been faith, a confidence that our actions glorify the Father's will. We recognize that we are examples not of worldly competance but of spiritual recognition. We are beacons for what is unseen, but what faith alone acknowledges. In essence we are examples of suffering that supply witnesses insight into a deeper understanding of life through spiritual purpose, instead of existing to give death meaning.
If you are a Christian and have been brought low, over amd over again, yet have found in you the strength to believe you are still loved no matter how devistated your worldly life has become, I tell you, you are truly blessed. We suffer like Jesus suffered. That is the mark of a Christian. There is a difference between those whom believe they are deserving and provided for, and those whom continually lose everything that separates them from their relationship with God.
This is exactly why Jesus had his disciples empty themselves of worldliness. Because you cannot have two master and honor the Father's Truth. Those so called Chriatians that believe they are provided for, are shown favor, are blessed with worldliness, only honor themselves. They will not have Jesus as their mediation, as he will not know them, as they did not have him within themselves.
---
Matthew 7:23
23
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
---
So in closing, we suffer like he suffered. We are tasked to serve in ways that do not honor ourselves, but instead allows others to be witness  purpose that brings understanding to God's purpose for us. It is either faith or sin. If in our acts we show faith, we glorify the Father and the showing of faith recognizes righteousness as the Father's alone. In our acts of sin we honor our knowledge of good and evil, and in our blindness are left to be judged as either self righteous or wicked. It is either faith or sin. Faithfulness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, it is of perfection, it works through us in ways that serve others and honor God.

I know I am not alone here, there are others out there whom relate to what has come through me here. We may be alone in the world, even when surrounded by our flesh family, our worldly friends, and our fellow workers. We personify the unseen qualities of God through trials.
