How to be a Peacemaker

---

Luke 12:58

58

As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

---

Yes, by the blood of the Lamb of God, the final sacrifice for our sin was made complete. This, so by that grace we could reconcile ourselves to the Father.

But a very serious topic is the trespass against others. There is great misconception, and this letter is to bring understanding about what trespass is, what it becomes, and how it will affect our eternal life.

Tonight, the enemy was allowed to send me a dream. The dream was one that was meant to intimidate me, and judge me, and show me what I am guilty of. It was condemning and troubling. I woke up, and was disturbed by it. I wrote it all down before I forgot it.

I had trespassed against two people in my life that this dream judged me for. I knew that I had never reconciled with them. Instead I just moved on. But tonight it was shown to me that although my sin has been paid for by Christ, this does NOT mean my trespasses were all forgotten by the 'magistrate', who is Jesus.

---

Matthew 6:12

12

And forgive us our trespasses, as we also have forgiven those who have trespassed against us.

---

I KNOW that most Christian's believe this sinner's prayer is enough. And I agree that in some cases it is enough. ***But, for the Father to forgive our trespass against another soul, is NOT making peace with that one we trespassed against.*** We created a cost, and we have a debt with that soul that will have to be paid before we are whole in Christ.

The 'light' is what the truth shines on our design. When we seek out this light in us, we see what we were, and this is what we repent. You cannot repent something sincerely, unless you recognized you were guilty of it. Now, we are shown what to repent, and we repent so to be forgiven. But if what we repent is a trespass against another soul, is the Father now responsible for mending that soul? No, we are.

Tonight, I wrote a message to a man who I had not seen for 27 years. I found his facebook page and messaged him. I told him that I had spoken ill of him behind his back. I told him I did this because I was intimidated by him. I told him I now see this was wrong. And I asked him to forgive me.

I sent the message. It was at that point that the Holy Spirit led me to that passage in Luke. I realized then, that which I am sharing with you now. We should get right with those we have created a spiritually debt with. We should do this as soon as we are made aware of it. Because at judgement, any soul who we trespass against can and will hold us accountable, and cry for justice.

It goes deeper.

Reconciliation with others souls is a form of love. We are commanded by Christ to love our neighbor, love our enemy, treat others as we would have ourselves be treated. So is reconciliation not a form of selflessness and love? Yes.

---

John 14:15

15

"If you love me, keep my commands."

---

After the man's reply, and the guidance to the passage in Luke, I went further. I wrote my ex girlfriend. I did the same with her, after 6 years of not talking. By the time I finished my plea to her for forgiveness, I felt like a great burden was released. A burden I didn't even realize I was carrying.

Within an hour, both these people I trespassed against got back to me. Both have forgiven me. Both have good thoughts for me. I honestly didn't expect to hear back from them. I only wanted them to know I had regret and requested they forgive me.

Now there is no cost. And now there has been a renewed form of love between them and me.

How terrible it is to have a lifetime of people you have a spiritual debt with. How great an opportunity is it to reconcile and show love.

I close with this. It better to show Jesus that you can reconcile with others while you are living, than it is to be raised at judgement, and stand in front of Jesus, to defend yourself against those who cry for justice.

---

Matthew 5:9

9

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

---

Amen

Why we grow weary

---

Joel 1:4

4

What the locust swarm has left

the great locusts have eaten;

what the great locusts have left

the young locusts have eaten;

what the young locusts have left

other locusts a have eaten.

---

Do not be suprised at how those around you will devour the spiritual fruit that comes through you. Mankind devours what it can. Mankind will consume, and take it's fill, and return 8n season for more. This is our nature.

When you show love, or kindness, when you are generous, or compassionate, those who receive it will return and expect it. They do not consider it holy, they consider your actions as opportunity. The Father is what supplies these holy attributes through us. But, if we do not recognize His Kingdom as that which supplies these fruit, we are considering ourselves as the tree. And the locusts will come, and they will leave us barren.

In heaven, all are like this. They are like children with requirements and expectations. But they know that what they require of expect come from God. So they honor God and praise God, because they do not lack for anything. That kingdom is available to us, and we share with others from it. But do we honor God by recognizing our kindness or patience is of Him? Do we praise Him for the love that comes through us for others?

---

Galatians 6:7-10

7

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

8

Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

9

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

10

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

---

It used to be understood that no man is good, not one. It was known that goodness is holy, and holiness come through us, because of or faith. You cannot tire from being holy, but, if you believe that what fruits come through you, is you giving of yourself, you feel stretched thin, you feel drained. When the opposite is true, those who properly share what is given to them, are given more.

There is no joy in believing in yourself as what supplies others with love and it's fruit. And what you have will be devoured, and when you are bare, you will also be alone.

The Abraham blessing

---

Genesis 12:3

3

I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;

and all peoples on earth

will be blessed through you.”

---

The kingdom of God is built on promises kept.

The almighty God does what he says. It has always been this way. This we have confidence in. The kingdom is active still today. So we can have confidence in the Kingdom. But do you know what the kingdom is?

When you make a promise it is on your conscience to bring that promise to fulfillment. Now Jesus told us not to be making promises and oaths by our own name anymore. Because we do not have the power or authority to fulfill these promises. But the almighty God has the power and authority to make these promises and keep them. The kingdom is the conscience of God.

When Abrahm received the promise of God, we know it will be fulfilled. So, we can say "Father bless Abraham for his faithfulness", and we know that we will be blessed. The Almighty keeps his promises.

---

Luke 24:49

49

I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

---

Jesus was fully confident in the promises of the Almighty. And we are to follow in these footprints. Whatever God promises is fully and completely reliable. So in your prayer, say,

"Father bless Abraham, Father thank you for fulfilling salvation through Your son, Father thank You for the guidance of the Holy Spirit."

We ask the Father to bless Abraham because God keeps His promises, and we thank the Father for salvation because we are confident is His promise of Salvation. We also thank the Father for sending the Holy Spirit to guide us.

Be confident in what has been shared here.

Sex, marriage, and the Kingdom

---

Matthew 19:8-12

8

Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.

9

I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10

The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

11

Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.

12

For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

---

Procreation. Our sexual organs are there to procreate. The stimulus is nervous, and hormones supply the drive. A man and a woman have the ability to unify as one, and procreate, which means create life through copulation, which means the act of sex.

A eunuch is a man who has no genitalia. So the drive to procreate is no longer with them. I personally live like a eunuch as best I can, although I still struggle with passion and my drive to procreate. I consider God more important than procreation, as what I work for is eternal. I was saved when I was single, so single I plan to remain.

---

1 Corinthians 7:8,9

8

Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.

9

But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

---

Marriage is spiritual. Even though the physical bond of marriage is copulation, the spiritual bond is what identifies the marriage to God. No ceremony or ritual beyond copulation is recognized by God. It is religion and government that suggest otherwise. Marriage is between a man and a woman who have sex.

After Christ came, things changed. We are on the final stretch spiritually speaking. We know who God is to us, we know what sin is to us, and now we know what the truth is. Mankind has developed far enough along, that a man or a woman can dedicate their existence to God in full faith.

---

1 Corinthians 7:17-20

17

Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18

Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised.

19

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts.

20

Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.

---

Paul told all his churches the same thing, one you have heard the truth, remain in the situation that you are in. This advice was given as a mercy to us, not as a commandment. But the reason it is a mercy is because what is truly important is dedication of belief, by having a clear conscience. And I add to this, by saying no relationship should stand between you and God, once you have been shown the truth. 

Yes, believers and non believers can marry. But to what end? I say this because if you are a believer, you know that you are to focus on becoming more godly, as you have died from what was worldly about you.

---

1 Corinthians 7:32-35

32

I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord.

33

But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife—

34

and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.

35

I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

---

When you have been shown the truth, do not return to a lie. Each man and woman according to the situation they were in when God called them, should remain in that situation.

Like Paul said, it is all about what you devote yourself to. And as a believer who has been called by God, the conscience of godliness, the kingdom, is what you should be devoted to in your day. The kingdom becomes our conscience, therefore our acts are holy acts. The mind of Christ, the Holy Spirit, is the Christ in us. The Holy Spirit has perfect understanding of the kingdom, and through us bears its fruit, and uses its gifts. All we need to do as souls, is deny ourselves so that this devotion can have this holiness work through us.

Like Paul said, time is short. We no longer are in a situation where we need to procreate to sustain mankind. We are in a time where salvation is at hand. We are in a time where we can confidently die knowing we will have eternal life because of the truth we carry forward. Why burden ourselves with needless relationships that alter our devotion to God's truth.

"Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them."

Alpha and the Omega

---

Revelation 1:8

8

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

---

One of my favorite topics is time. Time is itself the foundation of change. But God does not change, nor does His Authority.

---

John 1:1

1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

---

We know that Christ is the Word of God, the Word being God's Authority. Even when the world and the heavens collapse, this Authority is the same.

---

Matthew 24:35

35

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

---

All of creation came through this authority. And when the foundation of the new creation is set in place, that same authority will be what the new creation is founded on.

---

2 Peter 3:10

10

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

---

So Christ is not bound by time. As a matter of fact, time itself, that is what is in motion, came through his authority, so there by, is under his authority. In the Bible there are a few examples of this. Two examples are favorites I like to share with others.

The first example is when God turned back time:

---

Isaiah 38:4-8

4

Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah:

5

“Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.

6

And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.

7

“ ‘This is the Lord’s sign to you that the Lord will do what he has promised:

8

I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.’ ” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.

---

So God can add or take away from our lifespan, that is not a surprise. But it does defeat the idea of fate being laid out in completeness. As God added fifteen years to the existence of Hezekiah, what was completed in those fifteen years was added to Hezekiah.

Then we have the shadow of the sun moving back up the stairs. In order for this to happen, the rotation of the earth had to be altered, or, time itself is a variable beyond our understanding of physics. It is most likely that Isaiah was witness to time being altered through God's authority. This is just a great example of how great our God is.

When I was a child, my friend and I were spirited across half the city in a moment. It was over two miles, and the distance itself did not exist in time. We walked back, it took almost three hours. This also was the power of God, under His authority.

The second example in the Bible that I would like to share, is something I was shown by the Holy Spirit that is not in any teachings I have known. It is also a part of the New Testament that not every Bible has in it. And I was shown these passages are directly related to a part of the Old Testament:

---

John 8:2-11

2

At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.

3

The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group

4

and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

5

In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.Now what do you say?”

6

They were using this question as a trap,in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.

7

When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

8

Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9

At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.

10

Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

11

“No one, sir,” she said.

“Then neither do I condemn you,”Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

---

Why was Jesus writing on the ground with his finger? Ever wondered?

I was shown this is why:

---

Daniel 5:3-6

3

So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them.

4

As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.

5

Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote.

6

His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.

---

It was the hand of Jesus. That is what I was shown. And so while the Pharisees were looking to trap him, in order to accuse him, he was scribing on a wall generations before he was born. What he scribed was:

---

Daniel 5:22-31

22

“But you, Belshazzar, his son, have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this.

23

Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.

24

Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.

25

“This is the inscription that was written:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN

26

“Here is what these words mean:

Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.

27

Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

28

Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

29

Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.

30

That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain,

31

and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.

---

Belshazzar, unlike Hezekiah, had his lifetime stripped away from him. Belshazzar set himself up against the Lord of heaven. Just like the Pharisee who were trying to trap Jesus in order to accuse him.

These examples are very small examples that I am using to bring you understanding of what it means to be the Alpha and Omega, the 'was', the 'is', and the 'what is to come'. God is everything, and His authority is in everything.

To God, time is a variable. But we consider time a constant, because our world and our flesh are variable to it. How wondrous.

Praying for the Devastated

A man wants to supply his family with their needs. When he is faced with injury, or lack of work, loss of home, lack of food; he burdens his conscience with guilt, fear, anger, envy, and hate. In this, where is God? God has been put aside.

Jesus commanded we give up everything to follow him. I started my journey with him this way. But, I didn't do it myself, I was stripped of everything. This was a blessing in the form of worldly sufferance.

Being a true believer comes at the cost of our worldly life. If you cannot put the Father first, and give over control of your life, he will strip you of what stands between you and him. This is a blessing.

Many ask for prayer or assistance when these blessings are upon them. They do not see that their belief in Christ, comes with trials. They instead see salvation as something they can achieve on their own terms. They see prayer as a means to gain, or maintain what they desire.

If you or someone you know, is facing what has been described here, I would ask you to consider what is being said.

---

Luke 5:18-20

18

Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus.

19

When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20

When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

---

My heart is heavy, relating to the suffering of a man who has lost the ability to fulfill his worldly responsibilities to his family. So I take to prayer, petitioning for the man's restoration, or at least that doors of opportunity are opened for him. I am just like the men who tore the roof off to lower their friend in. If am concerned for the salvation of this man's soul, I am instead putting his worldly responsibilities in Jesus' lap. I am doing this because I am relating to my friend in worldly terms.

What did Jesus do? He told the paralized man his sins were forgiven. The friends were approaching Christ on their terms. They tore open the roof not to do the will of God, but from desperation, and their belief in Christ's authority. Christ did not heal him, he forgave the paralized man's sins. This to firstly show his authority to forgive all sin. Then, he healed the paralized man to glorify the Father.

 ---

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.

---

When you pray for a man to have his worldliness restored, are you not cursing him? What has been stripped from him was done by God, and as the seasons change, what is restored in the man is also the work of God. 

That which stands between a man and his relationship with God is what he honors above God. He might place his family relationships above his relationship with God. He might place his career or worldly authority above his relationship with God. Any vanities, covets, or prides, that stand between us and our relationship with God is us loving God on our terms. So when we pray to have these things restored, we are indeed cursing the one who has been blessed with a sufferance.

Having said this;

1.

We tell the one in suffering that what has happened has happened by Gods hand.

2.

We tell them this is an opportunity to put their relationship with God first above all things.

3.

We tell them we love them, and we then pray for God to see their sincerity, and if it is His will, that He open up new doors, or bring them healing.

Relate to one another first as through God, then by our humanity.

Elijah and the vision

I was sitting outside pondering the power of God.

A vision came upon me. I was standing on a sunny day. Toward me came a leader and behind him in the distance was his group of soldiers in number.

I was approached by the leader and sensed that I was their target. As the man approached me, there were words said between us that didnt matter. But I was in danger, and the leader was there to act on orders.

I remember a great calm in me, and I remember being very intense. I said to the soul of this leader, "Your army has fallen dead, your body is dead." And because I said this, all of his men fell dead, as did he.

-

I went back inside. It was a very strange thing I witnessed in my mind. I did understand that it was the power of God that did what was shown. I returned to some praying and the biblical figure Elijah came to my mind. I did a google search on where Elijah was mentioned in the bible. So I started reading.

---

2 Kings 1: 7-10

7

The king asked them, “What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?”

8

“He was a hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around his waist.”

“It is Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.

9

Then King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down!’”

10

Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.”

And fire came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.

---

The story goes on about Elijah. But I stopped writing this down after reading up to verse 10. In the Spirit, I was then reminded that last night I wondered about the transfiguration of Christ, and the forms of Moses and Elijah being present. I had known that Moses was mediation for those under Law, and Jesus is the current mediator. But where did Elijah fit in?

Elijah ascended. But we know from Christ that he did not find his way into the presence of God, because none had been in the presence of God except the one that was sent from it. So while Jesus was alive Elijah in his form, was in heavenly realms. This just adds to the mystery of God. But then we found out after Christ was raised from the dead, that he shared the gospel of truth and the gospel of the kingdom with the dead. Those who believed were no longer bound by their sins, as Christ now had authority over the dead. So Elijah and others did then find their way into the Father's presence by Christ's authority.

In my life I have been witness to many things that are not normal. Of the forms I personally have been witness to, one in particular was a hairy man with a leather belt that hung down and had strange markings on it. He was the form that took me and my friend to safety, after telling me there was great evil where I was. We travelled in the spirit with him a great distance, over two miles, in a flash of light.

Tonight I feel confirmed by this. I do feel I was shown that vision because I am being shown a greater understanding. We are all attached to God through the Authority of Christ. Believers are not independant of heaven or each other. The living and the souls of the dead who have accepted the truth, are all woven together through the Holy One. Elijah, Moses, Jesus, David, Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Able, the Saints, all whom Christ gives his authority to, can act on our behalf.

I think this is why Catholics pray to Saints. But I personally do not condone such things. We pray to God the Father, and our prayer is petitioned by Christ Jesus. But this does not mean that we are separate from these others like Elijah. So why are they present then? Because they carry purpose in heavenly realms, like they fulfilled purpose on earth. They are a part of the Kingdom of God!

So it comes down to us all being a part of the same kingdom. I have begun to see the kingdom as the heart of God, the conscience of eternity. We as humans are taught we have our own conscience in ourselves. And we are told that spiritually we must keep a clear conscience in order to remain loving. But more than this, our soul is directly attached to the kingdom. Most ignore it. But I believe it is through prayer and constant prayer, that we become open to the fruits and gifts of the kingdom. Our conscience is darkness and bears no good fruit on its own. The heart of man is evil. So we must deny ourselves, and instead have the eternal kingdom, the heart of God, supply us with what is holy.

I feel that those who are part of the Kingdom in heavenly realms, can give. The Holy Spirit gives guidance and assurances, yes. But that is because the Spirit of Truth resides within believers who seek to do the will of God. But there is more. The Kingdom is what supplies holiness in the form of love and the fruits and gifts. But is not the kingdom of heaven full of souls? So, I believe that those souls who have part in the kingdom of heaven, can witness, or give, to those in existence.

Each soul is a part of God. When the flesh perishes the soul returns to God having knowledge of self or understanding of God's wealth. A soul then becomes a part of the kingdom, adding to it all the acts of love and faith and kindness and joy, peacefulness, and patience, goodness and self control that thy performed while existing. Having now grace that atones for the sins that bound that soul from sharing in the kingdom. Now the believing souls from Adam forward, are in God's presence, an active part on the overflowing fullness of the heart of God. All a part of the conscience of the living God. All having crowns and an active role in the authority of the kingdom. All capable of sharing the holiness that came through them to help us who seek, ask, and in a knock of faith find confirmation.

Having this understanding, gives the term reconciliation a meaning of souls returning to the love that creates them, but now confirmed and aligned with God's purpose.

So was it the Spirit of Elijah who showed me tonight this vision? I have belief it was, and by the authority of Christ, to glorify the wonders of God's kingdom. Amen.

--

A final note: from the time of creation, certain angels and heavenly forms came into being that will be thrown out of the kingdom. It is very likely this is because they deny the mediation of the Holy One, or, they themselves use the kingdom to do the will of God on their terms. It might very well be that this is how temptation works. Why does this matter? Because if we do not deny ourselves, we are not open to the truth for it to work through us. It all begins to make sense.

Hallelujah! Pray constantly. Pray inwardly with your mind, listen with your heart. Pray for others, and get used to having the Holy Spirit lead you in prayer. Recognize the fruits of the Kingdom as they come through you and others. Find your spiritual gift or gifts. Work them like a muscle. More will be added to you. 

This is a spiritual life.
