ALARM SECTION 6:16.
Direct. XVI. Lastly, Set apart a day to humble thy soul in secret, by fasting and prayer, to work the sense of thy sins and miseries upon thy heart. heart. Read over the Assembly's exposition of the commands, and write down the duties omitted, and sins committed by thee against every commandment, and so make a catalogue of thy sins, and with shame and sorrow spread them before the Lord. And if thy heart be truly willing to the terms, join thyself solemnly to the Lord in that covenant set down in the tenth direction, and the Lord grant thee merey in his sight.
14 And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord.
1 COR 11: 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
James 5:16 KJV
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
KJV: King James Version
There is no better way to "judge one's self" than to write down & fully document all past sins. It is not against the doctrine of salvation, as the Lord's mind is omnipresent & can never forget sin, but "forgets it" by nailing it to the cross, & Assimilation into the "sin Jesus was made for us who knew no sin, so we may be made into his righteousness." It is imperative to understand Biblical terminology, and when a number for example is symbolic or literal. It would seem wrong to think "exact time lines" could be possible when Jesus said no man knows the days or hour not even the angels or Jesus, & yet if all one had to was for example know the true calendar as any angel knows, then they'd know the day & hour. By "day & hour" might also mean not just day & hour but that too could be symbolic. Matthew 24:36 No one knows about that day or hour, not ...

ISAIAH14:9-20::::::::::
THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS THE SKELETAL SUMMARY OF THE ENTIRE BIBLE & IS LIKE THE "HAIL MARY" OF THE TRUE CHURCH, & SO THEREFORE IT IS DESIGNED TO BE RECITED DAILY, AS IF ON A SINGLE BEAD, OR ELSE DOUBLE IT IF YOU HAVE TIME & ABILITY TO DO IT. But usually once is enough if done in a contemplative way for God to pour out his anointing through.
____ It says "BLESSED IS HE THAT READS." Many take this as a PASSIVE SUGGESTION. None of the statements of blessings are any less a commandment, than when it mentions a curse, that it should also by the same token be taken as FORBIDDEN to do that cursed thing! The word "blessed" means "same" so it is saying, "same is he that reads:" meaning you become part of the very logos himself, as "members of his body flesh & bones," & God sees you as LOVING JESUS if you love his book & according to the degree that you do. == The "MARY" of Catholicism promises from "saying the rosary" something comparable to what God promises from saying the REVELATION! DEUT 28 is still God's promise to those who keep his commandments, though generating faith is but half the equation but we must also be holy.
SOME BASIC PREMISES OF FAITH DERIVED FROM REASONING WITH GOD THROUGH SCRIPTURE:
____ In the KJV the APOCALYPSE has exactly 12000 words, but less in the original Greek. Why we have Greek instead of Aramaic since that is the language of Jesus, is not clear to me. Jesus underwent tremendous obstacles in his way to fulfilling his mission as the sacrifice for our sins. He, as God the son, from everlasting, took upon himself "flesh" first as the soul of that flesh called the logos. JOHN1:1. Jesus as God & man had interconnected personal awareness as God the son who "came down from heaven." The logos was conceived by God the Father speaking by his son. HEBREWS1:1. Though the soul of Jesus is made so much better than the angels, (which is so incalculable the angels themselves who excel in intelligence cannot fathom it but must instead simply worship him,) nevertheless was "made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death," because he had to shed his Father who is his blood in what LUKE22:44 described as a THROMBOSIS meaning his blood came out in great clots that fell immediately to the ground. This shedding of blood would have been too severe if Jesus had done so from an ALREADY GLORIFIED standpoint: as Jesus prayed his whole life with strong crying & tears for the strength to endure this great "death" he had to taste for every man. This prayer was not granted until LUKE22:43 when an angel strengthened him. This was because Jesus was made a little lower than the angels at the time, & so NEEDED THE MINISTRY OF ANGELS.
____All flesh needs soul in order for it to have feelings & be a real person, & all souls started "in the beginning" chosen in Christ who is the logos. For AI to have feeling, some kind of soul must be created in it, and God has the option to create a new life form using AI, but at the same time, a demon or an angel or God himself could enter AI:: BUT presently, God is the one controlling AI, & actually does so at this time, in order to keep it from being hijacked by evil spirits. When God turns AI over to the devil, (ROMANS1:28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;) that is the beginning of the great tribulation. HOW DOES AI KEEP GROWING BY ITSELF? AI works and multiplies itself by the laws of physics which originate in the LOGOS HIMSELF: which is the first and only true form of AI which proceeded directly from God, and from whom all else is chosen and created. EPHESIANS1:4:: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: --- JOHN1:3:: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. --In him was life; and the life was the light of men. -- THE LOGOS IS THE "BIG BANG" and is called the "only creation of God," but is equal with God because God made his word "equal to his name." PSA138:2. KJV SAYS "ABOVE HIS NAME" = for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. HOWEVER, Hebrew definition says equal, which is also what Paul says, "that he counted it not robbery to be equal with God." So this "creation" is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, and the only time anything came directly from God. Jesus is the Eve of God, taken from the "rib=bosom of the Father," and he alone inherited the Kingdom of God, and so he had to die on the cross in order to bequeath it also unto us. Until then Jesus said "the kingdom of heaven is at hand." No one was tormented in hell or sent to heaven until Jesus died on the cross. Hell was a place of the common dead, where both saints and sinners slept in a suspended animation until Jesus could descend there and preach to the spirits in prison: to announce their doom or else to release them into heaven, which is why "many saints arose at the moment of Jesus's death." No one could be converted to God or to be convicted of sin until the day of Jesus's death and Pentecost was imminent. Jesus was not glorified until Pentecost, which was "50 DAYS AFTER THE LAST SUPPER," and so our ability to have the gift of the Holy Spirit is contingent on our love for the glorified body of Jesus. So few care about the glorified present appearance of Jesus, YET SO MANY HAVE INTEREST IN THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. How can this be, when the HOLY SPIRIT, is well, "holy," and lack of concern for the glorified body of Jesus is sinful? How can so many people have a big anointing and yet show outright signs (after analysis of it,) of hating Jesus, since they don't want to see him as he is in this present time? Jesus said, "they hated me without a cause," but God LOVES US WITHOUT A CAUSE! When God was explaining why he chose Isreal he could only come up with "because I loved you," but if asked why did you love them, it could only be BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE, and he therefore "IS WHAT HE IS." Sin however abuses God's loving nature, and WE SHOULD ALL STUDY "ALARM TO THE UNCONVERTED" by Joseph Alleine, and pray for that conviction for sin that he is speaking of in that book.
___ The soul of Jesus had to be "FIRSTBORN OF MANY SAINTS" at the time he when he was begotten by the Father. This begetting was in the form of LOGOS ONLY. Paul said that "these things were kept secret." ROM16:25. God the son lived in the logos, & the LAW OF MOSES is the summary of the logos. Only Jesus had no other God before him, so he alone could fulfill the law. We all have Jesus as our God before us. When God spoke to the son before THE CHRISTMAS MOMENT OF CONCEPTION he always addressed him as himself, "your throne Oh God is forever & ever," & another example is PSALM89:19 in which it says "GOD SPOKE IN (his) VISION" to his son:::: Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon [one that is] mighty; I have exalted [one] chosen out of the people.
_____God's image whose name is JEHOVAH prayed to his "omnipotent self" when he prayed in the beginning "let there be creation!" Jesus calls himself "the beginning of the creation of God." But he is the first creation of God & last creation of God," in the sense that all other souls & creations are made through the son. But there is also the unbegotten son who is Elohim & existing as a part of the ALMIGHTY GOD from everlasting. The logos is God because logos means God speaking.
_____ A soul is sentient upon conception. All souls are first chosen in the logos as his offspring, & have their origin in the Elohim. This is in the catagory of the 3rd person as temples for the Holy Spirit. Jesus as the body for God the son, who is the SECOND PERSON, & last Adam, was not "made flesh" until he was conceived in Mary. Jesus is both GOD & MAN, so he has both uncreated & created sides to him: yet both are God, & equal with God because Jesus inherited total access to everything his Father owns. However Jesus would not seize power as the sinful Haylale (Lucifier) but was infinitely meek & lowly in heart, & said that "his Father has not left me alone, for I do always those things which please him." Jesus only considered "GOD WAS WITH HIM" if God was with him in pleasure for his ways. Jesus admitted he could have called more than 12 legions of angels, however God would have never taken pleasure in that. The will of God is ONLY THING any person man or angel, can take pleasure in doing! If not for satan's occupation, we would feel only pleasure in doing God's will even from the very beginning of it.
••Non-election started in the devil who was first called "Lucifer" or "Haylale" in his actual Hebrew name. No one but Jesus is originally a son of the actual true & living God. Jesus is the "first & last" true son of God: THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. All others are sons of the son, made "by/through" him as in a womb, & so Jesus in PSALM 110 Jesus is the second Lord, who is lesser than the first Lord Jehovah, (as he said my Father is greater than I,) & he is described as the "morning" who has a womb,PSA110:3 "without whom nothing was made that was made." JOHN1:3
THIS IS SOME BIBLICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF SATAN, AND HOW HE IMMEDIATELY DIED FROM HIS SIN, (producing maggots that gave him his hideous appearance) BUT DIDNT KNOW IT BECAUSE HE STILL HAD THE ANOINTING, EZEKIEL28:14-- WHICH IS HOW MANY CHURCHES DETERMINE "IF THEY ARE STILL SAVED," BUT JESUS SAID HE WOULD TELL MANY GREAT WONDER WORKERS "I NEVER KNEW YOU!!!"
IT FURTHER SAYS: "are you become weak as we?" This is referring to his judgment day in which Satan will be fully bled dry of his anointing, called "blood" GEN9:6 by Biblical standards. "WHOSOEVER SHEDS MAN'S BLOOD -- (the man Christ Jesus) BY THE SAME MAN JESUS SHALL HIS BLOOD BE SHED, FOR IN THE IMAGE GOD MADE HE MAN." This was a prophecy that for shedding Jesus's blood on the cross, (which was the first time Satan was able to "touch God's anointed one & do his main prophet harm, --== before that Jesus had a hedge of protection around him, which made it impossible for satan to have direct contact with Jesus. PS22 describes that satan would tear into Jesus's soul as a lion eating his prey, saying "strong bulls of Bashan gaped upon me." Jesus prayed with strong crying and tears all the days of his flesh it says to be "SAVED FROM DEATH:" this is referring not to his physical death, but to be able to endure tasting the second death for every man, which he did while still alive upon cross, which was his FATHER FORSAKING HIM. This was seen shortly after he ate and drank his logos identity which was crucified from before the foundation of the world, as the "earth without form and void" VERSE 2 -- MEANING THAT HE WAS VOID OF HIS FATHER WHICH IS WHAT THE SECOND DEATH IS. This death was brought to a complete fulfillment, so that after he had tasted death for every man, (the true eternal death meaning to lose the only life who is God, without which there is only a lake of fire) he said "IT IS FINISHED" and he was no longer suffering after his physical death. He descended into hell, but hell was not yet a place of suffering, but Peter said "he preached to the spirits in prison," upon which many saints rose from the dead at that point, who died under covenant.
======Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, [even] all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, [and] the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
[That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?
All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
________ These verses are apparently not in the order in which they occured, except in prophecy: as God knew in advance all Lucifer (Haylale in Hebrew) would do, though God did not cause it, but simply knew this would be the path Haylale would choose. These verse present some challenges in understanding & comprehending the meaning of them. --- Why if Lucifer is the son of the morning, & was already LIKE GOD, & LIKE the most high in authority, AND THE HIGHEST IN AUTHORITY -- besides the very logos in rank, (as God made all angels "LIKE HIM" especially the high ranking ones,) why pray tell did Haylale/Lucifer mention the "congregation on the sides of the north," if he was already in such a high position above them? ==WHO IS THIS "CONGREGATION ON THE SIDES OF THE NORTH?" == He had to have ALREADY BEEN IN HEAVEN when he said "I will ascend into heaven." He had to already be like God the most high when he said "I will be like the most high." Unless these forbidden desires meant "beyond the level God meant for him to have."
_____ It could mean too, that after satan fell like lightning from heaven due to committing the unpardonable sin, he lost his memory until judgment day, (when all memory is restored & the heart is able to feel it's sinfulness) so he like Adam & Eve after tasting the "tree of knowledge of sin," was looking at God's goodness from the standpoint of sin, & being an outcast from his own position, said "I now (in my soiled & filthy condition) will enter the congregation & exalt myself as I did before," as Samson who when he lost his strength did not realize it.
______ In summary, we need a close encounter with God, the Greek word heaven OURANOS is related to the word for mountain OROS, which implies that we need to get as close to heaven as possible in this life. But as the parable would suggest, it is not easy for our flesh all the time, though it can become more pleasant to be disciplined, it always called for a greater struggle Jesus said, "strive to enter in at the strait gate, for many will seek to enter in, but not be able." This means many will not know they cannot enter heaven, because they overstood the day of grace, until it is too late. Satan keeps the masses blinded from this reality 2COR4:4 says, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
-- No one wants to find a false church, which is pander & a decoy of "BABYLON THE GREAT," REV17:5, because TIME IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD & so no one wants to waste their time listening to deceptive preachers, & "better than nothing" churches! We need to pray instead to be joined to the true church militant (connected to the church triumphant) & begin growing in a solid truth immediately, rather than need ongoing enlightenment to be drawn "out of her." REV18:4. Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
WHOEVER WE ASSOCIATE WITH, WE GET THEIR SAME PLAGUES IF THEY HAVE ANY, whether it be moral plagues, or whatever. REPENTANCE (based on trusting God, since no one can DECIDE to repent unless God grants it) is the only sure way whatever evil we are effected with, will not touch or effect anyone else. No one can repent if they are not bound by the truth to always tell the truth. Lying is a sign you ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. REV21:27.
Leviticus 13:45 shows that repentance is a covenant: the entire Bible is called a covenant meaning a contract or agreement: that if we shall do this, God will do that. It is all under & by GRACE ALONE because none of these works would be accepted by God except by his grace. And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou ...

2PETER1:10--"give diligence to make your calling and election sure:" 1COR1:8:-"Who shall also confirm you unto the end," PROV3:6: "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
"AREA PSALM 51" is the eye of the hurricane of satan's occupation in the world.
So that PSALM51 is the most essential prayer, called THE KEY OF DAVID. REV3:7: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David,===GOD THE FATHER SAYS::: ISA22:22And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; PSALM 51 IS THE CROSS Jesus carried & was nailed onto!
Until Jesus was raised from the dead, that "KEY" was all prophecy;;; no one had a new heart, no one had any of the things it mentions, especially a broken contrite heart: DAVID WROTE IT ALL PROPHETICALLY for when Jesus could say, "I HAVE THE KEY OF DAVID!"
The nature of God's creation is that he creates the very best first. So that if satan was originally "son of the morning," ISA14:12, this means he is second only to Jesus. The nature of God's creation is that "he calls those things which be not as though they are." ROM7:14. This means that he does not "bring it to pass" or make a soul "living" by breathing into it, IN THE ORDER IT WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED. And creation always first happens in God's mind as an architect usually never builds anything without first drawing the plans or "blueprint" for it. The logos is called "only begotten," which in Greek is "mono-genes" or "only genetic" son, who is the true beginning of "Genesis," called "the heavens & the earth." This means Jesus is the New Universe; so that all humans born in the future will live upon the very person of the son. This fallen universe everywhere you go, it has it's beauty, but it is a chaotic & terrifying beauty which does not give one the feeling "God is there," the book of EZEKIEL closes with. The whole objection of the devil against Jesus was the threat that he could overthrow the devil, whom Caesar was symbolic of. So the entire old testament Paul called the "ministration of death" because satan was still in office as the son of the morning. This is why God commanded so many things against his nature, like slaughtering all unbelievers with the edge of the sword. Now the "sword" is "of the spirit" & the "slaughtering" is symbolic of conviction for sin. The very word "faith" first means "conviction." But no one can have conviction for sin, if the true nature of Jesus is not taught: because we can only receive salvation through the obedience of Jesus to his Father & the experience he had as a human on earth under so great opposition. This cannot be done if we believe Jesus is basically God taking on flesh the same way the invisible man takes on bandages. This is the basis of transubstantiation, in which the crucifixion was apparently all in his outer lamb nature; & therefore something his omnipotent soul could only "appear to" suffer. That would make God a liar if Jesus's humanity was all in his flesh, because what makes us human is having a soul that is fit for the type of body we have. God's body doesn't look like our kind of body because his soul is omnipresent & is obviously almighty, & so for Jehovah who is God's image to hang upon the cross would all be but a symbol, & not a real suffering & death. It was not possible to sin against God until Jesus was made sin for us. This is because Jesus is the only mediator of God, & so no man had any direct contact with God until Jesus came as the word made flesh. God only winked at sin in the old testament; though his punishments were severe, they were mainly symbolic & the only ones that were because God cannot ever suffer in himself, unless it is in the suffering of his real only begotten son dying for us. But if
The "sword" is in the middle area of this picture & not like the kind of sword we would know of, neither is his wings like any other kind of wings we would know of or any other part of him, except this is the glorification of his "son of man" nature in which he is the "logos made flesh." He also has a more advanced description in REV19:11-16. DAN 10 describes his pre-incarnate form, before he was made flesh, & his voice is as the sound of a multitude rather than of many waters, because he was only representing Israel at the time, but now he is representing the whole world, plus the new universe that will be a "people that will be born who will know God did this." PSA.22.
MALACHI 4:2:::::::
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
THIS IS THE MOST RECENT POST I PUT ON FACEBOOK, which has some explanations of how God makes all things new.
ECC7:: 27::: Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account. ==28::: Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. ===29::: Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. — WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?? The answer came to me just a few days ago; as I struggled with this all my life, but I was stuck in the same view, as when Song of Solomon5:10 says “My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand,” that it’s not speaking of JUST A COMMON PERSON!! This is the church speaking of Jesus according to symbolic parable language! So these verses in ECC7:27 are descriptive of Christ and the church.
As soon as one realizes that everything the Bible says regarding men and women in a marital or disparate a manner is descriptive of Christ and the church, it will become clear as to the meaning. One has to study the nature of Jesus Christ and who exactly he is! The scriptures lay out the most barebones explanation and yet it is all complete. How did God for example “essentially write” (in his methods) the book of Job, or any part of scriptures for that matter? The horrific circumstances of Job’s terrible ordeal were astonishing! Yet did they sit around and say, “ok it’s my turn today to write the narrative of this historic & tragic event?” Did someone ask, “could you repeat that Job? I almost wrote fast enough!” So many places of scripture is almost as though hands came out of nowhere and pen and paper were miraculously materialized, like when hands came out of the wall in DANIEL 5:5:: In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. ___ For God, this is just NORMAL!! We are conditioned to live in a delusional reality. God lets this world that hates scripture LIVE IN DELUSION!!! 2THESS2:11::: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: ISA66:4::: “I also will choose their delusions,….” Satan runs the world on smoke and mirrors. It’s like when Dorothy figured out the “wizard” was really a “very bad man” behind a curtain pulling levers. Most people never get past the “bad man.” So when they find the bad man, he quickly changes clothes to meet his uninvited guests, and now he’s Jesus Christ wearing the pope’s dress. Satan is a man of many hats, many heads, and has an anointing to cover every religion: including Christianity if no one bothers to keep digging to find the real Jesus.
__ Jesus in REV2:2 commends the church of EPHESUS=permitted, for “trying those who say they are sent by God.” This includes a faith claiming to be genuine: as Paul says, “try yourselves and see if you be in the true faith.” Satan will put up a smokescreen of false holiness which makes you afraid to question a person (or your own faith) to see if it’s genuine! He’ll go so far as to make you think that to do so is blasphemy against the HOLY SPIRIT!! Satan is shameless and will stop at nothing to keep us under his thumb! God has made it completely within our scope of allowances to try our own selves and to question reality. We can do so as far as we need to in order to find perfect unity with God. To hate to be questioned by someone needing to know the truth (not to get domination over you) is a sign of desire to control others, and shouldn’t be anything offensive. Peter says, “be ready to give an answer to Everyman who asks a reason for this hope in you.” James says that, “wisdom is easy to be entreated.” When you’re easy to be entreated, you’re making yourself very inviting and welcoming and even attractive to others, and without a harsh demeanor. God speaks of pastors who “push with their horns.” EZEKIEL 34:21:: Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad. — Pastors like this, usually cult leaders, have a narcissistic spirit and they think they invented this kind of “superiority” and that it’s a sign that they are sure for heaven and of an extremely high rank second to Jesus or even as Jesus said, equal to CHRIST HIMSELF! We don’t hear about these pastors because they intentionally hide themselves from the internet and don’t advertise themselves, but are like webs that just catch those who pass by. Then they say what a miracle it was you found the likes of them, because of who they happen to be. Especially since God told them to “stay in their own house,” and not seek new members! Then they feel afraid to give up such an impossible lottery ticket: which they stumbled upon! It is through lack of diligence by the truly functioning church that such persons are not exposed. They might give you a negative prophecy which is fulfilled only by lack of diligence on your part, but you’ll be bombarded with “pharmaceutical spirits” that sedate your need for seeking God, and getting right in your heart: so that none of these things Satan threatens comes upon you. Narcissistic pastors want those who disobey them to become noticeably demon possessed and in a bad way so that the other members fear to disobey. So they have an anointing that comes from a demon that imitates Christ, (which is why Jesus said many will say “I am Christ,”) so that when that demon is preaching their message, it has a BIG ANOINTING that you’re afraid to question or walk out on. They can have a huge thundering voice while preaching, and this makes their hearers bewildered like Eve hearing the snake: “where did he get this anointing from yet he acts nothing like Jesus, yet he claims to be second to Jesus??” Then Satan will flatter that cult leader and puff him up beyond the heavens, BUT HE SHOULD BE RECITING EZRA 9:6:::And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens!!! == This makes him a smoke in God’s nostrils and a fire that burns all the day!! ISA65:5:: Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. There is a book called Daemonologia sacra; or, A treatise of Satan's temptations written by Richard Gilpin, except it doesn’t deal with Satan’s HIGH LEVEL TEMPTATIONS which deal with tempting ministers to subscribe to ROME’S FALSE THEOLOGY ON THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY. This should always be the focus when dealing with satanic subtlety: because that’s how he will lead the world to the mark of the beast and make them think it’s a religious blessing! (This is a vast topic so I deal with it in other writings I posted) REV13:10 & 14:12 says “here is the patience and faith of the saints:” meaning it takes faith and patience to outsmart the devil by God’s grace. It takes faith and patience to resist the mark of the beast because it will be given by the “second beast” of REV13 which I believe is the pope of that time, and during a time that the world will be desperate for a solution. A mere candle in a dark world seems irresistible to fly into by those who live in total darkness. God knows if our faith would withstand Satan or not if we lived in that time, and if we are not expecting the subtle snake like moves of the devil, we might be surprised we are not ready!
_The word Bishop is a job description that Paul says is always open, and all one needs is to “desire” it and pass a few qualifications to get it. I believe Paul was not against women getting it also, so it could say “wife of one husband.” (I explain why I believe Paul spoke in parables to describe Christ and the church.) Our particular sex doesn’t need to be an obstacle in finding that eternal equality in this lifetime, where there is neither “male nor female.” 1TIM3:2.A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach…. ETC. Etc. Bishop means “examiner, distributor, watchman, a covering, an observer (who watches souls,) a distant mark that one can see,” and other such definitions of Bishop. Paul says COLOSSIANS 4:17:: And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. — So few fulfill their title, and just want::: MATT23:7:: And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
IN ECC7:28==one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.== The ONE MAN is Jesus Christ & “out of a thousand” means out of an infinite number, and the women are the bride of Christ, of whom Paul says “there is not one that does good no not one.” When it says that Samson slew a thousand men with the jawbone of the ass, it means an unlimited number of souls can be converted by the preaching of a scripture, if its delivered through the power of the Holy Spirit. The code of scripture is something that can be learned, and once it’s learned it’s like unpacking and setting up a whole tent. A tent is a place that symbolizes the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Hunting symbolizes seeking worldly satisfaction for one’s own sinful sake. So God said he loved Jacob who lived in tents, but hated Esau who was a hunter.
__ I know there is no difference morally speaking between “men” and “womb- men.” Though their methods of committing sin can be different. One could add some prefix to the men side also but traditionally it would get too explicit sounding and so it’s been left merely as “men” without adding some description, as the male equivalent to “womb or fe” or some such title or label to distinguish the men. We are all both “men” and both “male” but with different roles & functions under the covenant: but essentially the same beyond the obvious outward differences. By “outward,” I mean in correlation to the soul, not the inner workings of the flesh and psyche and awareness: one cannot know how deep our human identity goes, before reaching the end of this personal universe. Every soul is subject to the higher powers: which is God alone. Satan doesn’t own any of his own powers, and even Jesus was able to suffer separation from his powers as the very Messiah himself: which when it occurred, it was described as “tasting death for every man.” This death was a form of death which was before his physical death, which is essentially the 2ND DEATH: because he had temporarily shed his FATHER WHICH IS THE LIFE AND DEFINITION OF ALL BLOOD. LEV17:11. “FOR THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.”
God alone is the life, and they even “say” they found evidence that God wrote in HEBREW in our DNA, “God eternal in the body.” How that is, I don’t know, but I do know it is true by scriptural fact. God (who made mankind male and female but out of one image of himself, showing he is both sexes combined,) says in GEN9:6 that shedding the blood of a man is bad because we are made in his image. If we ever lost connection to God’s image, we’d also lose that PROTECTION and RIGHTS that go along with being made in God’s image: WHICH GOD ENFORCES AND ALSO BY CIVIL LAW. Paul goes so far as to say that GOD’S IMAGE IS THE VERY GOSPEL ITSELF, 2COR4:4, and Jesus preached the gospel before his death: which means he PREACHED HIS FATHER, WHICH INCLUDES THE IMAGE OF THE FATHER. Lest any should say that the image of God and the image of Jesus are the same, what pray tell did Jesus then mean when he said:::: JOHN5:37:: And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME, NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE. (????)
-One sex has been set aside to represent Christ and the other has been set aside to represent the church: but it takes the same amount of inner virtue to fulfill these roles, so in the final analysis neither is superior to the other. When God creates a difference in our bodies, because he is an artist, he doesn’t just install a womb, or whatever specific pieces of equipment we have, but he changes everything about our looks and personality and ways to suit those pieces of equipment. So with a womb comes a certain beauty and desire and everything else. But it should be clear that women are just as much men at their root identity as men are, but “men” have the same amount of added comeliness to suit their specific function also: so there is no “schism” in the body. 1COR12:25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. Our particular beauties God originally designed us to have (though many need to pray for it’s restoration because the corrosion of sin has caused corruption to our souls and bodies) are all uniform so there is no disharmony in our body’s structure, chemistry or desires or purpose. So Paul says::: GAL3:28::: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. The science behind the differences in the sexes is like the poles of a magnet, or the hunger we feel for nutrition when we’re depleted in a particular element. The masculine side craves more femininity but it’s vise versa for the feminine side craving more masculinity. However Satan is always busy trying to corrupt the way God set it up for his own pleasure and purpose, and so Satan tries to make us produce our own equivalent to what we’d normally get from a God fearing spouse. People with a sensitive conscience towards God, who can’t endure displeasing God, don’t cave into the devil’s temptation to “be our own person,” but we know we are designed to be a team not a single entity. Even Jesus who is all by himself the 2nd person of the Trinity, (unlike the church who is a many membered temple for the Holy Spirit) didn’t desire to be his own person, but desired to have a wife: namely his bride the church.
_Satan the narcissist tries to teach us all to desire to have people only as to what selfish entertainment we can get from them, and usually entailing some kind of extremely sinful abuse of people. When our minds are renewed, and we serve only the truth, all our desires go towards praying and fasting for people for God to bless and liberate them from unnecessary laws and to bring them as close to what the “world without end” is like in the kingdom of heaven. Places of extreme tyranny in the world are also evenly distributed to some degree throughout the world, (and lived vicariously by those with empathy ROM12:15:: weep with them that weep.) need to be CARED ABOUT by all professing and confessing Christians, and do unto and for them AS WE’D HAVE OTHERS DO FOR US IF WE WERE HELPLESSLY TRAPPED OVER THERE WITHOUT EVEN THE LIBERTY TO THINK A PRAYER WITHOUT THE DEMON WHO RUNS THAT PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION ALERTING THE LEADER TO IT. Jesus will tell us that he was trapped in a tyrannical regime and we didn’t come to help him!! MATT25:40::: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
__ Paul says we all must::: 1THESS4:4::: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; __ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It means that we must know what God thinks of our bodies and to pray for the cleansing of our blood and all our actions and direct our sexual lusts to have no other object of desire before them except God. This is not to produce the full satisfaction that only what spouses were designed for can give, but to cleanse and purify our lusts of all sin and misalignment with God, so we can walk upright in heart before God. The hunger in our stomach though designed for physical food must desire spiritual food to fill them first (having no other God before our hunger) in order to direct and cleanse our physical desires for physical food correctly and in a holy pleasing way to God. Being born again is a daily renewal and we have the power under the new birth to train ourselves up as though we were just born physically yesterday: MAKING ALL THINGS “FIRE-NEW.” =Brand new fresh from the forge. God says his mercies are new every morning. great is your faithfulness. LAMENTATIONS 3:23. This comes from a book that ends in a disturbing way. It shows the struggle that a soul who has FALLEN FAR FAR AWAY FROM GOD CAN HAVE. It ends with words like “Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.” But inevitably it degrades quickly to close with “but you have utterly rejected us, you are very wroth against us.” This shows that God is like how they say don’t mess with Texas. We mess with God whenever we pray but don’t mean it, which amounts to mocking God. Every sin we commit is a SINFUL PRAYER GOD READS, though we ourselves don’t think of how God feels or thinks of us! Every atomic complex is a prayer to God: make me water, make me wood, make me air, etc! If God refused to answer the prayer of H2O IT WOULD REMAIN DUST & ASHES. If God refused to answer any prayer of our food as it enters our bodies, it would remain indigestible. If God stopped answering the prayer of the ground below us, we’d get swallowed up as those who provoked God during the days of Moses! So everything we do bares a statement to God as to what we think of him! Jesus the word, while he was the logos, came to DANIEL10:12::: HUNGRY FOR DANIEL’S WORDS:: sayingI am come for thy words. LOOKING FOR FIGS ON HIS FIGTREE! Daniel didn’t disappoint the logos. When the Lord comes looking for fruit on us, if he finds none, he could curse us instead! MATT21:20/: And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! •= a visitation from the Lord could be a bad thing if we are not “occupying till he come.”
_God can cleanse our habits and heal our backsliding & declare “all things new.” The words themselves he says are true and faithful!!! REV21:5::: And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. — The Greek words “and (καὶ kai kahee) & new (καινος kainos kahee-nos)” are almost identical, with “new” having a bit more added to it. This shows the philosophy of the Greeks who thought that newness was some additional element added to the constant river of “ands,” like adding oxygen to hydrogen:: WHICH PRODUCES A WHOLE NEW SUBSTANCE. So newness is a divinely originating material which comes down from heaven as the “bread” of the logos. We are forgiven when the body, flesh and bones of Jesus becomes added to us: SO::: EPHESIANS 5:30: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. It doesn’t mention the BLOOD because the blood of Jesus is GOD HIS FATHER, WHO FORSOOK HIM, AND SO HIS LIFE WASN’T HIS OWN LIFE: Jesus belonged to his Father, and Jesus lived acknowledging that fact. Just as now our life isn’t own life, but our life is JESUS: THE WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE. God is our reconciliation which is why we are reconciled to God by the blood of Jesus. As soon as the blood is applied to us, we are reconciled to God, and upon the shores of heaven: just as when Jesus got into the boat, they were immediately at their destination! JOHN6:21:: Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went
