The Potency of Anger

---

Ephesians 4:31

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

---

Paul speaks to the Ephesians of what to be aware of that can deny them the kingdom. What that means is, the fruits of the Holy Spirit which come upon us by the eternal conscience, (the kingdom), are not sought out when we are stifled by our own negative emotional reactions. Our reactions are instinctively self sustaining, meaning human animal has developed on a reliance on these emotions, such as anger, hatred, rage. Paul wanted the Ephesians to be aware of these, deny these reactions, and choose to in faith seek what is holy to replace them in our acts.

We react in the moment. And we carry forward into the next moment sustaining what empowers our desire. In worldliness, our desire self involved. By the kingdom, we serve by denying these selfish motivations, choosing to carry on having holiness define our next actions. All of the fruits of the kingdom are of an unseen quality, they are spiritual, not emotional. No flesh can create what the Holy Spirit supplies us by the kingdom upon us. So the key is, although we react naturally in our hearts and minds, we find strength beyond ourselves, letting holiness come through us.

---

2 Corinthians 12:9

9
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

---

To the Corinthians, Paul mentioned he boasts about his weaknesses. In the context of anger, Paul would witness to those in front of him that although he is angry, the lack of condemnation for being angry as part of the body of Christ, (grace), allows him to in clear conscience put aside his weakness, (anger), for the honor to bear holy fruit that is based in love. Paul is saying he rejoices in the fact; his reliance on those human reaction is conquered in the truth that his faith serves. He is awake, alerted to his being. And this is what Christians are, a light in the darkness.

Our human reactions are like a blindness in a darkness. Humans rely on their primitive instinct and evolved logic and emotional states, to make choices. This acts to not only keep them from coming into an understanding of faith in God through His Son, but it also claims what is of the kingdom as human as well. From pagans to pygmy tribes, from atheists to holy men; all love. But the difference is, only those who know the truth, recognize the fruits of love are of God alone. The children of Adam will all come to confess that God has authority of the spiritual conscience. And that authority is Truth, and that Truth is Christ Jesus, the Word of God.

---

John 14:7

7

If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

---

Anger is potent. Anger comes to us as a reaction to unknowns. Consequences we were not prepared for emotionally. Anger supplies a keen alertness to defend ourselves, either verbally or physically. Anger is fuel to the human animal. But although anger does drive us into action, it will always bear bad fruit. It may help us get our way, but it is 'our way' that denies God. So although anger is potent, and even useful to our human nature, it denies the truth within us, and sets aside the grace afforded us.

---

Matthew 11:28-30

28

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

---

Love is the foundation that truth is the authority of. In this context, truth is spiritual truth. That God is of an unseen quality, as is His Power. The authority of that Power is His Holy One, whom is responsible for sending us the Holy Spirit to council us, and guide us into a faithful reliance on holiness. We have every moment an opportunity to seek out holy understanding of what is in front of us, so we pray, in silent ways, to be shown what is the Father's will.

---

1 Thessalonians 5:17

17

pray continually,

---

and

---

Ephesians 6:18

18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.

---

We pray for those placed in front of us. That is, we pray for strangers, we pray for family, we pray for all those who suffer in the body of Christ. We also pray for those who have trespassed against us, bringing us temptations to hate, to be angry, to be vengeful. We pray away our reliance on our human nature. We become then; confident in our spiritual path.

Anger happens, take it as an opportunity to recognize it for what it is, and be thankful to the Father you can put it aside to do His will by His Truth. Everyone hurts, everyone gets angry. But only those who carry true understanding can be above it, deny it in themselves and turn that lead to gold that honors the Father.

---

1 Peter 1:16

16
for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

Of Mercy, not Sacrifice

---

Matthew 12:1-2,5-8

1

At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them.

2

When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

…

5

Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6

I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.

7

If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ a you would not have condemned the innocent.

8

For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

---

This understanding is not about the activities of the Sabbath. This understanding is about what the Father said through His authority. ' I desire mercy, not sacrifice'.

---

Hosea 6:6

6
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.

---

The Lord spoke through the Prophet Hosea. He explained that he desired to have mercy on a repentant nation of Israel, instead of sacrifices from an unrepentant nation.

Today, even though the Messiah has done the will of God, and left behind His Holy Spirit to guide believers, believers still consider the sacrifices they make as penance for their unwillingness to repent.

I myself have actively been charitable so that I could bury the guilt of my unrepentant flesh. I to something for someone, and I tell myself I am balancing the scales, making up for the sin I am aware I carry forward. This is folly, and this is how humanity is found guilty in its sin.

God the Father does not want sacrifices that represent our own need for atonement. God the Father wants us to instead repent and seek forgiveness from Him. Because to repent, we acknowledge to Him, we have been shown the truth of our misgivings. And having been shown our misgivings, we seek Him out to forgive us, and have His truth lead us into His mercy. To repent and seek forgiveness is for our sake, not His. He wants to have mercy on us. See?

---

Psalm 94:11

11
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

---

We only deceive ourselves. The Father wants each of us, to grow in faith of Him through His authority. His authority leads us to do the Father's will. Everything we do that is not done in faith, is sin. For us to assume what we sacrifice atones for our sin, is presumptive. We were never capable of accounting for our sins, and we know, that none ever have, with exception of the one who was sent. And it was for this reason that he died for our sins, without him, none would have sought out mercy, but instead would have relied on sacrifice for atonement.

God is merciful. He wants us to recognize what we are placed in, and how we react to it. He wants us to grow to a point where, we see that our repentance brings honor to His truth. The mercy of God is to be rejoiced. There is no growth that is good from being unrepentant and self providing. The growth that is faith based, and humble, it the foundation of finding God's purpose in this existence and eternally. Mercy is for our sake, and understanding. Love is merciful. We learn to be loving, we learn to be merciful. We are children of Love, of God.

Afterlife

Ours is a merciful God. The following is a deeper understanding of what the human soul can expect after death. There is condemnation for those who have done evil, but it must be known, that mercy triumphs over judgement.

---

James 2:12-13

12

Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,

13

because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgement.

---

Yes, judgement of the Holy Authority is justified. But, condemnation is a damnation, a punishment, a lesson to correct what must be corrected so that mercy can be given. Ours is a merciful God. Some will believe in the Father's Holy Authority and live in the body which Christ is the head of. Others will be left to the judgement of that Holy Authority. Either way all will confess that the Son of God is the Authority and is just.

---

Romans 11:32

32

For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

---

If Israel had not been disobedient, they would not have needed a Messiah, and without the Messiah, the rest of the world would have remained in the dark. So now, the rest of the world can be saved by faith in the Messiah, and in being witness to this, the remnant of Jacob can come to believe in the Father through His Son.

---

Matthew 15:24-28

24

He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

25

The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26

He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27

“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28

Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

---

The Son Of God was sent first to the people of the promise. And it was because of them, even in their disobedience, that salvation from sin was supplied to the faithful of mankind.

When Jesus died, as the Son of Man, he overcame the judgement of the flesh, and conquered death. This was also the purpose set upon him from the Father. And the salvation of the dead who were bound in judgement by death, were ministered to, and if they listened, they were brought into life eternal by this Truth. There was not one from Adam to John the Baptist that made it into the presence of the Father. Only the one whom He sent to be among us, and whom has since returned as this new creation.

You see God the Father has life in Him, and he granted His Son the ability to have life in him too. This is not life as we know existence to be. It is spiritual, and eternal. What this means is the body of Truth, has its own life, apart from the life that is of the Father! This life, that is of the body of truth, is not bound by judgement, because all judgement comes from that Truth, and therefore, cannot judge what is already just. This is the understanding of what is meant by:

---

Romans 8:1

1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

---

The life that is of the body of which Christ Jesus is the head, is life the Father has granted the Son to have. So those who 'fall asleep', that are of the body of Christ, will not wake up to face judgement, but instead will be collected for him.

But that is not everyone obviously. We know there is life in the Father, which is to be gathered and separated into good and evil. Those who perished by the flesh will be raised, separated, and judged according to their acts. They will not share in the authority of Truth, but will instead be judged by it justly.

---

John 5:28-29

28

Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice

29

and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

---

I once wrote, ' we return to the love that made us.' We add to that love, and what love does not recognize of itself in us, is burned away, and not remembered.' We are spiritual, our soul is bound in this temporary state. Our soul is rooted in love, but has been given over to the requirements and desires of this existence. It is up to each individual to seek more than what is placed in front of them in the moment. For; it is what is timeless within them, that can bear fruit that is also spiritual and timeless, based in love.

So the understanding is this. A soul is not left to eternal damnation, a soul is weighed by its deeds. Most souls return to the Father as they showed mercy, and acted lovingly. Very few in comparison, become a part of the body of Christ. The remainder are not part of either light, and are of a wickedness that did not show mercy, was hateful, unforgiving, and:

---

Mark 3:29

29
but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin."

---

The enemy denied the Spirit of Truth, a sought to replace it as authority over the living. It came upon the earth as fallen instruments of God, binding its parts with oaths and curses, so as a whole they could corrupt mankind by leading the away from faith. They replaces it with the influences of the world and the flesh. The spirits of their children are among us. They supply greatness in secret to some, and they and their followers will not repent, and will all be judged, and will not be remembered.

A woman today asked for prayers for her earthly family member who was passing on. He did not know Christ. Nor did he want to listen. So I said to the woman:

1. Have him forgive anyone he holds judgement on.
2. Have him pray alone to 'God' for forgiveness.
3. Mercy for the merciful.

Not that repent and faith were not the better path, but in some cases, the truth's judgement still honors the Father by His Truth. See?

---

Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess, that Jesus is the Son of God.

Human Authority

---

Romans 13:5-7

5

Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

6

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.

7

Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

---

We live in a time when civil authority gives way to social demands. From same sex marriages to abortion to euthanasia. For Christians, these moral concepts seem to act against God, but what is more correct to say is; these concepts of social reform do not recognize the will of God, as, they are not of His Truth. But, yes; the authorities of man are certainly of God. Authorities are all designed to identify the development of mankind to comprehend the holy kingdom upon them.

---

1 Peter 2:11-12, 15

11

Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.

12

Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

15

For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.

---

The authorities of man, are not of the body of truth. But, they are instead bases on the knowledge they have of good and evil. The trouble with that is, what they see as good, is what benefits the grouped desire, and, what they see as evil, is what is opposed to the grouped desire. The body of truth, acts in accordance with the kingdom and the council of the Holy Spirit. For the body of truth, faith is what brings perfect knowledge, not knowledge based on desire. See?

---

John 6:29

29
Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

---

The kingdom is the eternal conscience. By it, come the holy fruits which are spiritual, not flesh based. But for those who rely still on the flesh, they consider the fruits of holiness as from them, somehow, of their character or reactions. This is part of their development. Few will actually find the Truth, which is the righteousness of the Holy Spirit and it's fruit by the kingdom is of the Father alone. So they grow blindly honoring themselves as beings of righteous choice and behavior. Which is also God's plan, but not His will.

We are, as part of the body of Truth, inevitably going to be seen as what is evil. For the very same reason, the children of the world and their authorities will consider themselves good. We will by faith, supply what eternally is good, and it will come to pass, that we will be forced to witness to what we believe. And it seems this time is upon us now.

So what do we do?

We allow holiness to act through us, and thank the Father for His Son. We allow judgement to fall upon us for serving the Father's will.

So what don't we do?

We do not fight evil with evil. We do not condemn the human authorities, we do not fall into our own sense of morality. No morality is without duality. Morality is solely based off a group or individuals knowledge of good and evil. That is not having faith in the truth, instead, that is believing in our perceptions.

---

Luke 6:35

35
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

---

God is in all things. Even the enemy, although the enemy is blind to it or denies it. So we live first, then seek by the kingdom believing that what is holy is of God, and supplied through us by the Spirit of Truth from the kingdom upon us. We are few amongst many. We shine of the brilliance of eternal authority. But that does not make us righteous, and that is the downfall of many false doctrines. Righteousness comes through the faithful who recognize God is what is righteous alone.

Amen

The Aroma of Peace

---

2 Corinthians 2:15-16

15

For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

16

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

---

The message of redemption, is of peace; that is the salvation of the living soul, the light that is bound in the perishing form. Jesus did not come to bring the children of the world into peacefulness, Jesus came to bring us perfect understanding of the will of God. The peace that comes from faith in the Truth, is reconciliation of the soul to its Creator.

---

Matthew 10:34

34
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

---

This sword is what cleaves the bondage of the soul, from the reliances of the flesh. The freedom of the soul from this bondage finds the soul then seeking a relationship with the Father through His Truth. And loving the Father in this way, leads to putting God above all else, including the relations we have with those around us. Each soul that is part of the body of Christ, has a uniqueness that develops from this relationship with the Father. In that uniqueness; each soul seeks all things through the kingdom, instead of relying on what I knew of good and evil, or instead of the souls reliance of the instinct of the flesh, or trust it based in others.

---

Matthew 10:35-36

35

For I have come to turn

‘A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36

A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

---

The comfort of belonging is an animal desire. It is fear of not belonging that brings people into guilt and confession of their weaknesses. For a soul there is only one repent, and it can be done in silent secret prayer to the Father. No mediations, no family or friends; can lessen the burden of sin. They can only accept you, and in that the soul is bound further into its reliances.

Peace is holy, as it is a aspect of eternal love. Peace is only found through acknowledging with confidence the power of God in forgiveness. This pleases God, because we recognize righteousness is of Him, and not of us. It is the Father's will that we come to Him through faith in His Truth. And Jesus as the Truth, is the gateway to the Father alone. Peace is spiritual, holy, and is the same in heaven as it is through the kingdom set upon us. The kingdom is upon all the perishing forms. Only few recognize that Peace is not of them, but is instead holiness upon them. And even fewer of us, glorify this with thanks, (for the forgiveness of our sins), so that we may have this perfection come through us.

---

Luke 12:49-50

49

I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50

But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

---

The prince of peace brought the gospel of the kingdom to us. The gospel of the kingdom was an understanding of the eternal holy conscience set upon the living. It is a confidence in that kingdom that is the faith that brings us deep into a relationship with the Father, as confidence in the understanding of the kingdom came from His Truth. The fire Christ set alight is faith. And the baptism was the completion of his doing the Father's will unto and beyond the bonds of death. This, so no soul would go without the understanding of the kingdom. The salvation of the souls through an awakening by the authority of God. How loved we are.

---

2 Corinthians 2:16

16

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

---

The aroma of peace brings death, not to the flesh, but to the soul's reliance on the flesh and its natural decision making. We must die of the body to be reborn. This is a spiritual rebirth, found only through confidence in the eternal authority which brought the good news.

To others the aroma of peace brings life, and this I get the sense, is why the souls bound by death in hell, were ministered to about the kingdom. So their souls could ascend, breaking free of the bondage of judgement upon them. For it is our choices that create the argument of the prosecution of our judgement. And none knew the truth, and therefore none found their way into the presence of the Father. A soul at peace, is one who has be reconciled to it's Creator.

---

John 17:23

23
I in them and you in me--so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

---

Thank the Father for His Son. We know the aroma of peace, as we are of the body which Christ is the head. The aroma of peace resides within our souls, which is the truth of the Holy Authority of our Savior. Amen amen.

Worldliness

---

Luke 16:8

8

"The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light."

---

Most Christians come to Christ sincerely when they have already been subject to the worldliness that surrounds them first. Yes, some are raised in households where they are shown the light and how it applies to their lives. But how many children must reach out to the candle flame in order to know for themselves that it burns? So there are very few who are raised in the light whom remain in the light. Most  seek out Christ sincerely when they come to realize the world has labelled them for judgement.

The children of the world rely on their learned understanding and on their instincts. They become cunning, and like the verse said, they are shrewd. As they expect those they deal with to be in opposition to them. This is why they rely greatly on trust in one another, and why they follow through with those who have proven they can be trusted. Otherwise, they look for an advantage, to capitalize on the errors of others. To eat or be eaten.

The children of the light, have the same understanding. But they have put that understanding aside if they are part of the body of Christ. They do not look for trust, nor expect it. They instead act in loving ways, providing for themselves no advantage. The children of the light deny themselves, in order to supply the love they themselves would have. Beacons of selflessness, fearless of consequence. Yes, they could be shrewd because that is in their nature from the time of their worldly development. But instead, the children of the light suffer the outcome of their faith, which in worldly terms; means persecution, abandonment, and loss.

---

Matthew 10:22

22
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

---

Our daily bread is this suffering. It is what reminds us that what fills our spirits, is not what fills our belly. Truly the joy of being persecuted is spiritual, and it is an affirmation of sorts. It affirms that we are hated for the purpose God has placed on us. This is not our home, we die of this flesh, unwanted, and neglected; so we can be celebrated and collected in eternal ways. Our home is elsewhere, and our daily bread is of the same quality. Unseen.

---

Philippians 1:29

29
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

---

It is grace that suspends sin so we can see the light. That grace is real, as none who have been or are of the body of Christ, could be of the body of Christ without him first paying for their sins. Grace is the doorway, faith is the key. Those who believe in him and seek the Father through His Truth, find the way to eternal life. And a believer who is of the body of Christ, has Christ in him/her also. And the world no longer recognizes you as its own. You are alien to it, and this is why the children of the world prey upon us. We are defenseless to their worldliness, when we act in faith of love. And we would not have something to believe in that is holy, if it weren't for the grave we received through the blood of the Lamb of God.

There are individuals, and even some communities, who in the name of Christ; still act in worldly ways. They see grace as a kind of tool to do their own will in the confidence of their salvation. But these people honor the world and delude themselves, while spreading false doctrine. Their doctrine is a combination of the old testament mediation and their take on the Truth. They prosper in worldliness and call it God's favor. But it is not favor, as it was before the time of John the Baptist. It is the world recognizing them and them returning to what they came from.

---

2 Peter 2:20

20
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

---

Worldliness is not the wealth of an individual or the poorness. Money and possessions are not worldliness. Worldliness is what we act upon that comes from what have inside ourselves. Worldliness is supplied by our reliances. If we rely on our understanding of the knowledge of good and evil, then that is how we make our choices. If we rely upon our emotions and our logic, then that is how we derive the choices we make. If we rely solely upon our animal instinct and the trust we have in like minded individuals, then that is how we make our choices. But the path that observes none of these, but instead denies them in order that the Holy Spirit can work through us, shows we recognize the Father as what is righteous. Worldliness is a string of choices that define a soul for judgement.

Now that this has all been shown to you and clarified; you should be reminded that you and I are not perfect. We make mistakes, we stumble when tempted, we react to what is placed in front of us, instead of allowing faith to shine through us. But we persevere, we become alert to our circumstance, knowing what to expect from the world will not favor us. We constantly are renewed in the spirit, finding our strength comes from our weaknesses.

The children of the world will continue to dominate and subdue it. They will continue to serve themselves, and further separate themselves from the unseen qualities of God. They will commonize, and unite in their so called greatness, and will wonder why we do not join them. Christians will be seen as evil. They cannot trust us. They can only learn the ways of love by its truth, or they can deny the kingdom upon them. We are here to show that the will of God was shown to us through the son of God. And the will of God is to believe in His Son. And the Son of God commanded us to love the Father and one another. And the ascension of the son is proven by the fruits of holiness that come through us by the Holy Spirit. And those fruits are of that tree and are recognized as of God, by God. But the children of the world will claim what is of the kingdom as their own. They will see their peace as holy, see their love as true, honor themselves as righteous.

---

Luke 13:27

27
"But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!'

---

Have faith, and pray. Pray for thanks when you are persecuted. Thanks, because you recognize it is the worldly who hates the truth in you. They destroy what they do not understand. And in the darkness, they do not see the light. Shine a light and they will witness it. But a house on top of a hill can be seen for miles, and can be attacked from all sides.
