My Lord:
Again, the true gain is in doing right. Not learning the hard way, but the right Way. The treasures come from suffering for the do right and not for doing wrong. The lesson of doing it wrong and suffering for it does not grow you, it is the same lesson over and over and once ye learn the hard way is not the Way, their is never any greater increase. Just keep walking around the mountain until you have enough of walking in a circle doing the same over and over. Clean your hands, wash yourselves, purge yourselves, for the clean hands shall increase becoming stronger and stronger, that godly gain, the true treasures of God, Wisdom, knowledge, understanding and the ability to retain it, to have it kept in remembrance, to not become forgetful, if thou be diligent, striving to enter in the straight Gate that is Christ. Job 17:9, " The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. " How are ye to walk, to seek this, find it and hold fast to it. To be unmovable from it, turning not left nor right, eyes stayed on the Lord kept in perfect peace Amen. You who obey will abound more and more, the Lord forsakes none, He will increase you if that is your hearts desire. 1 Thessalonians 4:1, " Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. " To walk with God humbly is to obey. How ought we please God so we abound more and more? 1 Thessalonians 4:3, " For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 1 Thessalonians 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; " Abstain from fornication knowing how to "possess" his vessel in sanctification and honor. As written, to bring your bodies into subjection and rule over yourselves making no provisions for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof. Fornication - Strong's No.: G4202 Greek: πορνεία Transliteration: porneia Pronunciation: por-ni'-ah Definition: From G4203; harlotry (including adultery and incest); figuratively idolatry: - fornication. Sanctification - Strong's No.: G38 Greek: ἁγιασμός Transliteration: hagiasmos Pronunciation: hag-ee-as-mos' Definition: From G37; properly purification that is (the state) purity; concretely (by Hebraism) a purifier: - holiness sanctification. Honor - Strong's No.: G5092 Greek: τιμή Transliteration: timē Pronunciation: tee-may' Definition: From G5099; a value that is money paid or (concretely and collectively) valuables; by analogy esteem (especially of the highest degree) or the dignity itself: - honour precious price some. Must study to show thyself approved, how to walk, how to possess myself. Go over it and over till it is effortless as breathing. Suffering for the right reason perfects us, just as it perfected the Lord Jesus. By faithful obedience one becomes humble, just as Christ was made humble through obedience. Weakness that we are made strong by is submission, that is to give up thy will for the will of God. To submit thyself to God and written. James 4:7, " Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. " 1 Corinthians 2:3, " And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. " 2 Corinthians 12:9, " And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. " 1 Peter 2:19, " For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. " To be made perfect in weakness, to suffer for doing well, obedience, obeying, His will and not thine. Fasting and prayer, diligently seeking, reading, ones faith becoming effectual, that is working. Acknowledge everything that is in you in Christ. Acknowledge it, make it known, I was and now I am, I was a filthy rag wretch chief of sinners, absolutely unrighteous, but I am not that old man anymore by the Grace of God. I am born again, I was given an actual new heart, that stony heart removed and a heart of flesh returned to me. No longer finding pleasure in the unrighteous things or them that do unrighteousness. I no longer laugh at evil, have pleasure in wickedness, I sigh, I mourn and I cry over the abominations in the world. No pleasure in lies, no pleasure in what pleases not God Almighty. Fighting to know what that is and remove it from me. Search me O Lord and if there be any darkness shine Thine light upon it so I may know and purge myself from thing unholy no matter how great or small. Together working, together laboring for the love I found in Christ the night He spoke to me and set me free indeed. Out of love we labor, out of being forgiven so much, loving so much more. Philemon 1:6, " That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. " Fighting that good fight of faith that works by love. Faithfulness, fidelity, loyalty, monogamy, all are obedience to that which you love. Remember thy first love and do these works, be not slothful. We are not called to uncleanness, not freed so we can live freely in sin, devoid of the Law of God, but rather we are called to holiness. No man is given a license to walk freely in the lust of ones flesh, while you may do so, you will reap as you have sown. Their is no liberty in serving corruption, just strong delusion. So many think God slack for they see so many appearing to prosper in doing evil. Do not allow this temptation of the flesh beguile you into going off to serve your fleshly lusts. Again, a man that can not possess his body is like a city with no walls. Anyone can walk right in without vetting what is coming in. A city without walls has no defense, evil can easily overcome this city, will rush in and forever corrupt that which was good. It is not that you are unable to rule over yourselves, it is that you are unwilling. God has made no man in sin, He has made all men upright but men refuse to hearken, refuse to obey, refuse to heed to warnings, the woes. Refuse to hear the Truth for they prefer the works of darkness. By actions they prove to whom they yield themselves to, of whom they belong. All will give an accounting of their actions, no not will escape the judgment to come. Again, God told Cain to rule over himself just before murdering his brother Able, not God doing it for Cain. God had given Cain the same ability He gives to all man, free will. One can exercise righteousness or unrighteousness, it is ones choice to do so. God will not force you and satan can not force you. The offer is made, you pick to whom ye will serve, sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness? Why be a vain city when you can be a city upon the hill well lit for all to see, not overcome by evil but by good. Better it is to eat of the butter and the honey to know to REFUSE the evil and Choose the good. Better it is to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, seeking to please God and to know what that is. Not to just say but rather to do, if you say you love God with all thy heart, mind, soul, body and might, then be able to explain what it means. Proverbs 25:28, " He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. " What it means to love, what the cost is, have ye counted it? If so then what is it, have ye heard, then to speak constantly of that which ye heard. What are the things that "prove" your love, prove you are effectual operation of a fact of a state of being in love with God Almighty. Galatians 6:4, " But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. " 2 Corinthians 13:5, " Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? " 2 Corinthians 8:8, " I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. " Prove what is good, acceptable and perfect, will of God. Not just yesterday, but today and tomorrow, it is a war and one must fight till the end. Daily putting on the armor of God, for the world does all it can to distract us all from inquiring daily. The flesh does all it can to be served, that wantonness that has no end in this world. To mock, to gossip, to murmur, to complain, to kill, steal and destroy. To make everyone aware of itself, done wrongly? It will make it known, did a good deed? It will make it known. Wanting praise of men more so then praise of God. Romans 12:2, " And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. " Who are the poor? Anyone without the knowledge of God. We are told to seek to please the poor, in so doing you please God. Doing all things as unto the Lord, in so doing you please God. We walk honestly toward them that are without, as fathers to children. Without God one has nothing, with God one may have nothing in this world and yet they possess everything. To have this richness and it being freely given to thee, freely give it. Gold and silver I have not but what I do I have I give to you freely, Christ and Him crucified, now rise and walk. Now you stand up and walk according to the perfect will of God. I tell you there is one God and there is but one Way to Him, that is Christ and Him crucified. That which I speak is power, the power of life over death. it is rest, safety, peace, a joy unspeakable and yet to be fed with in this world many tears. Psalms 80:5, " Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. " 2 Corinthians 6:10, " As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. " How then does one love God with all, just by saying I love Him? Or is it by the deeds, actions, works, in what you do and not what you just say? How does one abound more and more, growing stronger and stronger? What is love, would not one fight to realize what love is and seek it out? What is love, is this nit the question that would be the most important of all if "love" is the fulfillment of all the Law and the prophets and faith establishes the Law, putting it into a working operation that makes it effectual in you? 1 Timothy 4:13, " Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. " John 14:15, " If ye love me, keep my commandments. " Which Commandments, by every word, line upon line, precept upon precept upon, a little here and a little there. Why does it say over and over that I delight in the Law of God, love the Law of God, that the Law is gold, silver, treasure, perfect, good and all things like unto these? We are trying to find out how to love God with all that we are, heart, mind, body, soul, might. By faithful doing, the doer and not the hearer, true faith is loyal to what has been spoken, said, told, asked, written, found in the scriptures and they do testify of Christ who is the finisher of our faith. If John not gospel? One must possess His Commandments and not the commandments of men that are taught as doctrine. Rightly divide what is Gods and what is mans, render to God the things that are Gods and to man that which are mans. They who HAVE the Commandments of God and KEEPS them, these are the ones who LOVE GOD with all that they possess. What does anyone truly possess in this world but their own selves, how one lives in the temples created of Gods hands. How one possess themselves by faithful continuance in that which all are Commanded. Listen to them that hate God, or turn back from Him. I have heard this from many who are well spoken of who have left the faith. They saying it is all a list of do this and do not that, the flesh hates this, it wants to do it own will over the will of God. It is the very spirit of the devil that wants to be ABOVE God, being equal is not enough. This appearance is subtle and yet a matter of fact. So they walk away or refuse to come to, hard hearted, lovers of self, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. For they REFUSE His Commandments proving they do not love Him but prefer the world. Friendship is enmity/hate towards God, it is carnal and the carnal mind CAN NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF GOD. Even many professed Christians trample the Law of God as to be something made void, they are everywhere and easy to find. They speak of the GREAT LAWS but NEVER express what it means to love God with ALL and neighbor as thyself. Certainly they never confess the Truth that is by the very thing they have made void, the testimony of God is the Commandments, is His love towards us so we can be with Him. For no one can be in His presence in sin. I lack the ability to express what is unspeakable, but in the presence of God sin can not abide, it is an automatic force, a power that must be what it is. It can not be changed ever, and no sin can bear the presence, it is like a train coming and in that moment all is realized and instantly it is all clear, I chose to step in front of this train, I refused to obey the simple Truth, look before you leap, prepare each step, being ever diligent, watch. Do not be hasty, rash, study to be silent and do thine own work, so you can hear. The train is coming, the Lord Jesus is coming and all that does not abide will be hewn down and cast into the fire. Sin CAN NOT be in the presence of the Lord, it marks you. I testify of this always. When I was in the Spirit and what most think of as nothing, a simple sin, shocked me in a way that was like I was about to be hit by a train. It was and still is a marvel to have been shown it, simple writing on the butt of a professed Christian. It drew my eyes to look and there was not any lust in me in looking (which for me back then was impossible for I was filthy ugly with lust, vile in the worst of ways) it was the simple fact to have someone draw someones eyes to their butt by placing writing on it. This ought to make it clear how foul sin is, and how SUBTLE it is and how easily man thinks so very little of the Rock of all salvation. This is as much for me as anyone, I need this reminder always, do I want to find myself on the tracks of a speeding train that is absolutely coming, even at the door now. Do I want to take that step having been shown the cost, the shock, the alarm, the certain absolute terror of the Lord being present and sin abounding. It is NOT written in vain that man will BEG for rocks to fall on them and hide them from the presence of the Lord. I sit and write unto all who may read this, I testify that they will BEG to be hidden for it is a TERROR that no man can know but the Holy Ghost show them. So in this I have lived these scriptures, "knowing the terror of the Lord I do seek to convince men", I beg gladly, I will get on my knees and beg anyone to please consider the truth. I do not want anyone to perish and God does not either. God is what He is and He can not change, consider truly the Truth of God, consider what He is bound to, why the King must do what the King must do. God is an all consuming fire and He is absolutely just, perfect and sin can not be in His presence without it being judged, for all the ways of God are judgment and He loves judgment. I beseech you all who have received the gift to consider their ways and to all who have yet to truly receive to Repent while they have time. Do not wait, or waste another moment, time is but a vapor. What love would I have if I knowing all of this, said nothing? John 14:21, " He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Again, what is love, how does one love God? If you KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, ye shall ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. The branch that ABIDES IN THE VINE, is as the Vine. You will love as He loves if you will ABIDE. If you will do and the Vine, you will produce as the Vine. IF, IF, IF, IF, IF, IF, if you love Him you will keep His Commandments. Remember, forget not, fight, chase this, race for this, run for this, study, work, prove, affirm, hold fast, stand fast, watch, prepare, wait, patience, seek, DIG DEEP! John 15:10, " If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. " Again, what is love, hoe does one love God? This is the love of God that we are to abide in, keeping that which He has said, this is what is established in all that have found the true faith that is faithful, loyal, monogamous, that has fidelity to just one and it is not grievous, for if it is then you do not love Him. It grieves them who do not want to obey, it grieves the that want to do their will over His, this is the condemnation that is in the world. The Truth can not but condemn what is not part of the Truth, again it is what God is and He can not be changed. It requires no action upon His part, just His presence commands this, the rocks even will profess Him just by His presence. This is a mystery I pray all come to understand. One abides by that which they truly love, the fruit is known, this is why one must do all as unto the Lord. If you do it as unto men you will fall back, you will not receive what you give and you will be offended, but you will not be offended if it is all done as unto the Lord. You will receive all that you give and more. This is a lesson hard to hold but once found and kept one will abound much much more Amen. 1 John 5:3, " For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. " Again, what is love, and how does one love God with all they have? That one walks after the Commandments of Him that ye love gave, written upon the hearts and minds of all man. IF you love Him you will walk after them, again, running for them, chasing them, my favorite Psalm 119, read it and find how beautiful the Law of God is. Search the scriptures and discover what His testimony to us is, so ye can delight in what God has professed to us so we can walk with Him, be back in His presence and I could go over being in His presence over and over for it was worth more than all that is. Nothing can be compared to it, nothing, for I never knew love could be so perfect, mercy so perfect, peace so perfect, grace so perfect, kindness so perfect, gentleness so perfect, such perfect safety and such perfect rest. Having no presence of evil what so ever was a rest that literally is perfect, all the imaginations of all men could not ever create it, understand it. What the world foolishly tries to create in it self can not be found, will never be found, not with all eternity. This joy that is in the Lord can not be created by anything, it is of God and He alone and I beg all to fight with all their might for it. One expression of man exists to explain it, I lay at His feet and weep. For in my tears one can find the only expression possible, to weep and cry. O Lord how I yearn to be back in His presence. To be free of this house, I yearn, I bemoan in this flesh, having tasted I want nothing else. How to explain this chain placed upon me, bound I have no other desire in me. Yet having to remain here truly caught between to places, for I love you and want to know the Truth and yet want to depart. God give me the strength to endure this betwixt state. God forgive me if I do not completely grasp this, God help me Amen. 2 John 1:6, " And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. " How then do we love others as we love ourselves? If we love God we will love them just as we love ourselves. 1 John 5:2, " By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. " If you think the old testament is completely separated from the new testament then woe is you. If you think the Ten Commandments are not established in them that have faith in God then woe is you. Without the measure to measure with one will be lost, do not make void that which God has testified of, do not call that which God has called righteous, unrighteous. Psalms 119:126, " It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. " Christ quoted them and men ignore them, try to make them no more, try to hide the testimony the Lord gave to us. Matthew 19:18, " He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. " Paul confirms the Word of God. Romans 13:8, " Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. How? Romans 13:9, " For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. " Now is the time to AWAKE OUT OF OUR SLEEP, to AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS and SIN NOT, now is the time for salavation, for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Romans 13:11, " And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. " 1 Corinthians 15:34, " Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. " 2 Corinthians 6:2, " (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) " You can not love God and have other gods before Him. You can not love thy neighbor as thyself and not love God. You can not kill thy neighbor and love them. You can not do all things as unto the Lord and hate them that you are doing all things as unto the Lord. If your blessing you cannot be cursing. If the mind is kept upon the Lord you can not but know peace. When your mind leaves you will find the Truth of this instantly. They hate to hear it but FEW find the Way, many are called but few are chosen. We must abound in the faith being effectual works, an operation of obedience, works, deeds, actions meet for repentance. For all will given an account of their deeds, be them faithful or unfaithful. Many called few chosen, hear ye the warning, hear ye the Truth, many will try to enter but will not be able, for sin CAN NOT be in the presence of the Lord. Things are going to become worse and worse and THE LOVE waxes cold. As people turn from God and love themselves more, as they desire to be above God things will become awful, a day will come when men seek death and they will not be able to find it. As they continue to call evil good, as they beguiled by evil just as Eve call evil good, pleasant and to be desired. As many partake with them who do these things, who hold the Truth in unrighteousness and join in together with them in sin, it will ungodly, unholy and the natural affection will be lost upon the lusts of the flesh. Fight to keep the mind set upon that which is godly, abounding, growing stronger as the world grows colder. You are able through faith to overcome, you are able by the Grace of God to by knowledge and understanding overcome and stand fast unmovable in the faith that works by love and is proven by deeds. I am afraid so many do not have real faith. I pray to God that you study and affirm it, examine yourselves ARE YOU IN THE FAITH. I pray you to heed the warnings, do not fall for the faith alone, it is not alone, it bears contents. It is a tangible thing, that is not blind but knows. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? If there is no growth, tremble. Do not be slack concerning your faith Psalms 26:2, " Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. " God does not forsake, He will make it known and you will not doubt. There is no doubt in faith, in fidelity, in loyalty, in monogamy, in faithfulness, to whom ye trust, ye obey completely. Why doubt if you have heard? Because you have not heard, if you have not heard you have not obeyed the one Commandment all must obey, REPENT. Do not doubt that there are many that think they serve the Lord, even all of their lives who do not know Him. Who do many wonderful works and I know many who say God is unequal, unjust, unfair, but you must come to the Truth, you must acknowledge the Truth. I do not know why I received so much. I do not know why the Lord chose me. I do know what I am supposed to do and that is tell of Him. That was the one Command absolute, "tell them about Me". My faith is without doubt, there is nothing but my own self that can turn back from Him. I can walk away and He will allow it, so do not fall for the lies of John Wesley. Sin can separate you from Him, you can walk away. I pray you who are in Christ abound more and more in the faith that works by love and is proven by deeds. If you do not work you will not eat! It is remission of sins past and not permission for sins future. You can not kill and commit adultery every day and think that grace will be your cover. IF you have grace you have the teaching that says you deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, no walking in them, but living sober, righteous and godly right now in this present world, in this present life. Many vain talkers who have not heard anything speak as if they have. Do not hear them, but you work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Lean not upon the teaching of commandments of men for the doctrines of God Almighty, you will regret it. I beg, fight the good fight of faith working by love, that faith that contains virtue. The effectual faith working, the faithful operation of faith proven. That fact of a state of being in love with Christ, proof. Prove yourselves if it be you have heard. If not REPENT per Acts 2:38 obey the Commandment of Acts 17:30, REPENT! Study to know what that is, do not let them sell you the simple change of mind, it like faith contains more then they who feign salvation can profess. One can not give you what one does not possess. This is the Sabbath created by God and not that false day created by man. It can not save you, but you will know it to be what it is when you are saved. No day can save you, it is that faithful obedience to the Lord. This is the seventh day, the last day, the day created for man and not man for it. It is the day the Lord God rested from all His works, strive ye to enter in. Kept out of love and not out of reward or duty, the Commandments of God are not grievous but to them who do not love Him. For if you love Him, you will keep His Commandments. This is love that you walk after His Commandments. This we know we love Him if we KEEP, MAINTAIN, DO His Commandments. John 14:21, " He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. " Faith establishes the Law, it does not make it void. God is not mocked, HE knows the hearts of all. Lip service is not service, you must come to the Truth not by works of the Law, what Law? The ritual laws, circumcision, keeping of times, the washing of hands. Yet there is a work of Law that must be worked and you can hide from the Truth of it all you like. Repent for the Kingdom is at Hand, it is always at hand. If you have heard how can you be silent, for if you are called, you are called to work. Do not put your hands to the plow and then turn back, consider, count the cost of building upon the foundation of Christ and His disciples. Do not take lightly your salvation. FIGHT, RUN, RACE, CHASE, SEEK, DIG DEEP! Seek, Repent and Sin No More... Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen..

All That Matters Is Christ...Weeks before my death the Lord knocked upon my heart, I heard and opened the door. My life has been forever changed, a new man indeed. Me a wicked man saved by the Grace of God, no more that wicked man. Died at 43 and was given a choice to stay or go. If I stayed I had to tell of the Lord Jesus Christ and here I am. I share my walk with my Lord, my candle is lit and I pray it be a light for all to know the Lord Jesus is the Way to the Truth to have Life, Amen. Archives
