My Lord:
Be filled, seek ye the Lord and do so for the riches that matter. Get wisdom, knowledge, understanding and that ability to retain. They who hunger for it will have it, will be feed with Truth, filled with the Truth. There is no time to spare, none to waste, for now is the time for salvation. Matthew 5:6, " Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. " Do not allow a single crumb to be missed. Make certain of it, for there are many that need to eat. A crumb from the Lord is far greater than all the world can offer. Always be ready to receive, one never knows when it will come. When it does do all you can to take in what is given. Write it down, go over it, search it, and bind it to thine Ways that thou hast found in Him. Hold fast to it, sharing it freely. For what is given is meant for all, freely given, freely give. Matthew 14:20, " And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. " Matthew 15:37, " And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. " Repent, Be ye born again, escape from them that live in error. Them who think gain is godliness. Them who sell their truth for profit. Them who deny the power of godliness but give an appearance of godliness. Decrease, for He is to increase. Be that which pleases God, a living sacrifice. The sacrifice of thine lips, of thine life. To sell it all and give it freely. Have you heard that all a man possesses truly is heart, mind, body, soul and might? It is the greatest of Commandments to love God with all thine heart, all thine mind, all thine body, all thine soul and with all thine might. What is the cost to be counted? Patch not up the old man, be ye born again. The ax is laid to the root, cut it down and be replanted. The new man has nothing to do with the old man. A new creation is new and the old creation is no more. I warn you, many who think they are in the service of Christ will fool many to think of that old man. One can not give what they themselves do not have. Someone not born again can not tell of it. Someone out of pretense can try and will fool many, but if one truly is diligent they will hear the lies. The old man is not the new man, this they will try to sell you. Do not buy from them, do not forsake the gift that is given in the rebirth. Being crucified with Christ, ye are raised also with Christ. Something new is not something old. I warn you, give heed, take the time to understand it. Those closet will be used to do the most damage. One must work it out, for the enemy is many. Surely it is known that the adversary is a roaring lion going to and fro looking always to whom it can devour. The presence o it is instant in the desires of the flesh fulfilled. Do not partake, do not be called off, do what is right and evil will flee from you. Bring your bodies into subjection and rule over it through the Spirit. They who do what is right will be accepted and they who do not will know at their door sin lieth and desires to rule over them. Mark 2:21, " No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. " All who eat of the Truth will be filled. It may come in a great overflowing and can be difficult to absorb it all. But be patient and continue in that which ye have been given. Wait on the Lord and it will sprout up and it will grow indeed. For He is faithful to finish a thing that He has started. The Lord is ever faithful, He forsakes none that seek Him, that endure with Him, that continue with Him. Turn from Him and He will turn from you. Confess Him and He will confess you. Like for like and kind or kind. Eat of the Truth and look to eat nothing else. Be that living sacrifice that gives of their life freely. Persuaded to go a mile, then go two. Indeed one has there own but look not only to this, look to the riches of others. If a crumb is given, share it, ones gain for anothers lack. There lack indeed is your gain. Their gain, for your lack, it is one in the body. Lift one another, carry one another, encourage on another in the Truth and not the vain imaginations of men. Be of one purse, one mind, one Truth, one Lord, one faith, one baptism. Ones gain for anothers lack. Mark 6:42, " And they did all eat, and were filled. " Mark 8:8, " So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. " The good are filled and the rich are sent empty and away. The rich are not for the gain of another. They only seek to take more from the poor for their gain. It is easier to thread a camel through the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. Worldly gain are not riches, they are great poverty to the man that possesses them. Sell it all for Christ and give freely what has been given to you. Worry for nothing for the rich always worry of not enough. Even in the greatest of storms the Lord leaves none that are His. He loses none that belong to Him, not even one. The reason true love never fails. They who desire to be rich have been warned of the price for that lust. Many temptations will come with such a thing, who will be able to endure them? To be snared by foolish lusts, which DROWN men in DESTRUCTION and PERDITION. Give heed to the warnings and if we are not to tempt one another, why tempt ye thyself? Luke 1:53, " He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. " 1 Timothy 6:9, " But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. " Riches to yearn for, to hunger for, to thirst for, prophesy, Wisdom, and Grace. Things to be filled with, to overflow the cup that is you. You are the temple made with the hands of God and not by the hands of any man. You are a vessel that contains what? To whom have ye yielded yourselves servants to obey? Sin unto death? Obedience unto righteousness? What is that vessel filled with? What decision has been made in that valley of decisions? To be filled with the true riches, that wisdom of God and by it grace was upon Him. What did that grace bring to Him? Knowledge of the teaching that teaches anyone that knows His grace. How to walk, how to possess their vessel, how it is filled, with what it is filled with. Each should know and by the Grace of God one is taught. DENY thyself ungodliness and worldly lusts that will only harm you, they seem, they appear like something good, pleasant and to be desired but they are not, it is an illusion and the whole world wonders after the beast and its image. TO LIVE soberly, righteously and godly lives in this world present. The Grace upon you shows you this, this is the Grace of God, it is simple, it is clean, clear and pure. Do not forsake the Truth of His grace, do not take it in vain, to make it into what so many proclaim it to be. It is not liberty in that which God hates, it is simple instruction, if ye love Me, keep My Commandments. It is plainly, loudly, simple. To whom do you yield? What decision have ye made. Study to show thyself approved. Take the time to work it out. Do not forsake the short time given, for grace is indeed time as much as it is a lesson. Life here but a vapor of time, take the time for thyself to go over it and over it. What you truly love, what is truly in you, will be what you have filled yourself with. There will be no other to blame or to reward, for all will be judged by their own deeds, their own works and NO ONE is escaping that judgement. Even them that have said there is no judgement. You are not your own, you have been bought for a price, consider this Truth, weigh it and what find you? To whom do ye yield? Luke 1:67, " And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, " Luke 2:40, " And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. " 1 Thessalonians 4:4, " That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; " Sanctification: Greek - G38 Word: ἁγιασμός Transliteration: hagiasmos Phonetic: hag-ee-as-mos' Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Definition: consecration, purification, the effect of consecration, sanctification of heart and life... Honor: Greek - G5092 Word: τιμή Transliteration: timē Phonetic: tee-may' Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Definition: a valuing by which the price is fixed, of the price itself, of the price paid or received for a person or thing bought or sold, honour which belongs or is shown to one, of the honour which one has by reason of rank and state of office which he holds, deference, reverence... How to possess ones vessel in sanctification and honor. To show that you understand the cost paid and reverence that wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Fight to retain it in a world that fights to hide it, steal it, and destroy it. So much is set before us, so much that is blinds, takes from, wears out, cause and effect, till one quits, gives up and allows the things that have no value seem like they are the only things that truly matter or have value. So much is offered to care for, worry for, hate for, blame for, accuse for, so much vying for you love. Love to hate, love to gain, love to have, love to lust, love to want, love to need, love to be, love hear, love to be seen, love to be liked, love to be followed, love to be flattered, love to be the center, love to be right, love to be sick, love to be angry, love to stir, love the strife, love to gossip, love to have the same conversation about the same things year in year out. Love to be told what to love, love to fear, love to be led, love to be on the inside, love to go along to get along, love the state of emergency, to have a purpose that keeps one from never stepping out side of the world. The love of the world and the things in it. The friendship with the world and the hatred of God. But how to possess ones vessel, how to escape them that live in error? How to become all that true faith in Christ brings, causes and effects. If ye do this, you will have that, if you do this not, you will have that. There is a Way that is right and there is a way that is wrong. True faith works by love and is proven by deeds. To thy faith add virtue. Be ye filled with the fruits of righteousness. Overflowing, effectual, power, ability, sincerity, sobriety, gravity, wisdom, faithful, loyal, obedience. To over flow, one can not contain it, the riches offered to them that love Him, seek Him, fight for Him. To give thy all, to be that living sacrifice and offer thyself up as such. Are ye able? yea Lord we are. Can you drink of My cup? Yea Lord we can. Can you be baptized with the baptism that I Am? Yea Lord we can. Help one another in the riches given, share them amongst the brethren. Given freely, give freely. For there is not man of God that desires profit from that which is freely given. Them who for lucre/money speak, teach of things they ought not. For gain is not godliness. But that which the Lord giveth and gives abundantly, share it that all may be filled. Luke 5:7, " And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. " Titus 1:11, " Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. " Luke 6:21, " Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. " No man of God, no not even one. For there is not man of God that does these things. Yet the world is filled with pretense. Many feign the love of the Truth for their own self gain. One can rejoice that Christ is preached, His Name is heard amongst the wicked and the lost. Know them that are of the Truth, know them by their very mouths, for the heart speak of the treasures truly contained in them. The mouth speaks and it cannot but reveal that which is within. I am constrained but I am willingly constrained. For woe is me if I speak not, if I do not what I was asked, if I share not freely what I was given. I desire nothing but for all to be filled. I want nothing from anyone, I do not want gifts, things, I will work for what I need, and what I have need of God will supply. What I can not obtain, God did not want for me and I will be grateful for He has cared for me. What need I of that which will hurt me? Who sees far off and how far can I see? I am constrained by willingness. I am constrained be love. My own desires led me to death and hell. If I had obeyed the Truth I never would of stood on the edge of death. I would not be pricked with the works of old. I would not have given my enemy weapons to use against me. Obedience is much better than sacrifice, be that living sacrifice, it is a matter of choice. A simple choice. What does it means when it is written "obedience unto righteousness"? 1 Peter 5:2, " Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; " Luke 9:17, " And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. " How many represent this verse? They loveth the Lord when they are filled with worldly things, but for the Truth they are not hungry. Many seek Christ to fill the belly but few desire to be filled in the Spirit, that inward man. Whose god is their bellies, there own wants above all else. Many seek Christ for worldly gain thinking it is godliness. Thinking by gain they have been blessed and are godly. John 6:26, " Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. " This is a verse that always speaks loudly. It is always before me. Out of fear men will not be poor, their hearts set always on the doubt of tomorrow. So they store up greatly when so many have so little. Who is rich and maketh themselves poor? Truly a wise man indeed. Who is rich and yet has nothing? Folly indeed to them that drown themselves in such temptation. Proverbs 13:7, " There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. " To be filled by the riches that God supplies. Having nothing but what is needed in the world. In the Spirit this world matters not even a little. Time was invisible, and sureness of foot was powerful. True power through the Spirit of power, a state of wealth that can not be comprehended but it be lived. But God giveth, but God openeth, but Gods will be, Amen. Acts 2:4, " And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. " Acts 4:31, " And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. " Acts 9:17, " And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. " Acts 13:52, " And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. " Full of goodness and filled with knowledge, ABLE to admonish one another in the true faith that works by love and is proven by deeds. In the true Grace of God that TEACHES all whom have His grace to do as Christ taught. Deny thyself, deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and live soberly, righteously and godly lives in this present world. For now is the time for salvation, now is always the time. For the day is at hand and it is always at hand. Admonish, we are not to tempt one another, but be aware of that which tempts. To do what is good and to avoid that which is not good. For we are able if it be thine desires through the Spirit. If it is walking in the Spirit and not the flesh, you will be filled with good true riches. If the mind be stayed and that peace be known to thee by doing such a good work. For they who work shall eat of their labors as they have worked. All receive a just wage, for it is sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. Able to admonish and not tempt one another, do not consume each other upon the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes and that pride of life. Romans 15:14, " And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. " Let not worry come into you, for whatever state praise ye the Lord. For whatever comes praise ye the Lord. Peace is always found in the Truth. Stay thy mind upon what matters and peace shall overflow within. Even in the worst of times, the riches stored up in Christ will carry you through anything. Allow not the test of this short vapor of time wear you down, but stay thy mind. You bring it into subjection, you rule over it. Do not allow the distraction to take root. Do not allow the cares of this life to take hold of you an grow doubt. Question not the Truth but be a doer of that which is good, acceptable and the perfect will of God. Go over it again, sing to thine heart, say it to thyself, write it down, be ye just, love mercy and walk humbly with God. Who has read what made Felix to tremble and keeps their mind set upon it? Righteousness, that obedience to the Truth, if ye love Me, keep My Commandments. Temperance, that self control, to bring thy body into subjection, to rule over it, you do it Cain. You are able, you do it, you become the doer, be efficacious, shine the effectualness of faithfulness to the Truth, to the Word of God. Virtue be added to all that God has said, be strong in the Lord, be strong like men. The Judgement to come, for it cometh and it will be for all. For every deed, every word, so be mindful of the Truth. Let it have its good work in you, let it produce that which is good. Be ye filled with the fruits of righteousness. A good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can not produce bad fruit and a bad tree can not produce good fruit. Lay the ax to the root of the bad tree, be ye born again, enter that Gate that is Matthew 3, Repent and make straight the Way. If ye know the born again state then do the works worthy of repentance. Be meet for the Masters use. In all our tribulation be over joyed. To know the separation from the world is to truly know what is being said. To know the love of Christ which truly passes knowledge, even surpasses all understanding. That you might be filled with the riches of God, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. If you had pleasure in the world you surely would not have joy in the knowledge of Christ or His love. That affliction is a measure to measure and who desires not a true measure to know where they stand, on what they stand? Have you not heard that men of God are most miserable? If ye live godly in Christ ye are most miserable. The separation from the lusts brings the flesh to suffer. How is this not known by any that walk not in the flesh but in the Spirit? In the world but not of it. If we have one hope, if only that hope is in Christ, we are of ALL men most miserable. It afflicts and in that we find joy, for here I stand an I know it. 2 Corinthians 7:4, " Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. " Ephesians 3:19, " And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. " 1 Corinthians 15:19, " If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. " Filled with the Spirit, high, drunk, intoxicated, filled with the joy of the knowledge that is Christ crucified and we with Him. What joy is more of this world? What joy is another thing to possess? What joy in more? What joy is there is being poor and yet rich truly, truly wealth that can not be imagined by this world and them in it. What are the ways, what are the things thine heart is set upon? What does make you joy? What is the wine of your choosing? Ephesians 5:18, " And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; " Filled with the fruits of the good tree, Righteousness. By them that are in Christ, all for the glory and praise God Almighty. Filled with that obedience, that love of doing what He has said. If ye love Me, keep My commandments. The true righteous obey from the heart out of love. For it is by love we do that which is asked. The fruits of righteousness, is truly warfare to obtain and keep that which is asked, said, and Commanded. I notice with every mistake I make it makes it harder to write. I testified plainly of the 3 months I could not write anything, for to be outside of the Truth one is not able, one is not in Christ. Outside one can only feign love, feign Truth, feign loyalty, fidelity, monogamy. Without obedience there is no righteousness and there is no fruit. A hypocrite and not to the works, nor can a hypocrite please God. Many, many love to pretend and make no true effort to conform to the image, to transform, to be truly new and then keep that newness and be righteous in that newness. Even a lie that has no effect on anyone, is a violent act to thyself. It requires a toll and there is a line once crossed, one will have a very small hope of coming back. What is that line? At what point does one cross a line and have pleasure in that which one ought to never have pleasure of? Who can preach obedience that has none? You can hear them that speak so adamantly against obeying, for they do not obey. You can find so many who pretend to love and put no effort forth to be a keeper, a maintainer. Speaking against any temperance, any self control, it is all Jesus' job to do the will of Father. To make them clean and to KEEP them clean as they willfully ignore the Commandments. Which Commandments, everything written are the Commandments of the Lord. If ye truly love Him, you will keep the Commandments. Why risk losing, what can be lost? Many will tell you it can not be, just as them that rail against obedience, in doing, in keeping, in maintaining. That irresistible grace lie, that all paid lie, that all obey for you, all are just filthy rags and chiefs of sin, just forever wretches lie. One can do, can keep, can maintain out of love if it is truly love. One can be transformed, one can conform to that which is good and right. One can become that image meant to be, made to be. There are none created to sin, but all are made upright and chose to not be that which they were made to be, planted to be. Where do the wild grapes come from when God planted the choicest of vines? How is it not simply written that God planted sinners so He could teach them a lesson? That no man can but sin every day, for all men are born to sin, have a nature to sin, predisposed to commit evil and disobey God. How is it a man can Repent of what He had no choice but to do? How do men Repent of God making them to sin and giving them a nature to sin? Where are the righteous fruits in not being able to do anything that is asked? Where are the fruits in provisions made to fulfill the lusts of the flesh? Be filled with what is good, acceptable and perfect. Philippians 1:11, " Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. " Colossians 1:9, " For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; " FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS... Righteous: Greek - G1342 Word: δίκαιος Transliteration: dikaios Phonetic: dik'-ah-yos Part of Speech: Adjective Definition: righteous, observing divine laws, in a wide sense, upright, righteous, virtuous, keeping the commands of God...

To satisfy God by doing what He has Commanded. To be filled with the desire of God. To desire the will of God. To find the will of God and do that will. It is warfare to keep that which is good, acceptable and perfect. Know there will be a cost for every deed. Be aware, watch, prepare, be steady, maintain.

With any mistake, evil will pounce upon that opportunity. It is always lying at the door seeking to rule them that submit to transgression. Confusion cometh in a violent act committed, a wound is created, a spot appears. For sin is violent no matter the sin. When confused, when you know something is wrong, make no choices, decide nothing, wait. Give it to the Lord, wait for help. Quick to hear slow to answer. Take the time needed to consider a matter, a moment. Do not get caught up by deception, guile, foolishness. Bear what needs to be and wait patiently on the Lord. I may moan and bemoan in my current house, I do sigh and cry having tasted that the Lord is truly gracious. Having felt love that has no measure and there is no such love in this world that can be found like the love I found in Christ, I can not but moan and groan. I cry, I sigh and hope for the endurance each day. All my hope is in Christ, without Him I have nothing, no reason, no season, just existing. The world is a dry desert wind and the Lord is a river of Life. When I think of the moments I was given, I can smile and it always makes me feel good. I cry and I sigh, question, what have I done? Show thyself approved having been approved? That is the question is it not? Have ye really heard, really tasted, truly been commended by the Lord and not of ones self? Not out of pretense, not out of vain imagination, not by men, but by the Lord through the Holy Ghost. The baptism of water yes but that baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire. This thing I speak that not a single soul who knows it needs me to tell them of it. Not one single soul having it needs to ever ask "did this take place". The truly born again state that only comes by the Spirit of God. To be filled and upon that filling, to go to work. On that calling to do the work. The son asked to work in the vineyard and goes to that work is the one who is doing the will of the Father. The one who does not go to work is not doing the will of the Father. Whom has the Lord commended? 2 Corinthians 10:18, " For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. " Matthew 21:28, " But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. " Having heard, do the works, study, find out what they are. It is all written in the book of the Lord. We need no man to teach us, for the job is the taken by the Holy Ghost. He will lead one into all Truth and remembrance. Not a television version, but just you obeying from the heart the doctrine received of God. Many commend themselves to be approved, many draw nigh with the mouth. Many give the appearance of godliness but deny the power of it. Many say nothing is required. Yet just a few words into reading one can find all sorts of things required. Who has been commended and who commends themselves? Who is doing the works, who is proving that a faith without virtue is nothing? but a faith that one adds to it virtue, that effectual operation and fact of state of being? Whom understands that faith works by love and is proven by deeds, actions, works, doing? Who is rightly dividing the Word of Truth and who is not? 2 Timothy 2:15, " Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. " The book of solid steel, James. James 2:14, " What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? " The promise is to whom? They who LOVE Him. They who love Him do what? Keep His Commandments. What are the Commandments? Everything written are the Commandments of the Lord. James 1:12, " Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. " Fruits, to be filled by and with the riches and the love. Riches, knowledge of God, and love are the Commandments of God. Love is walking in the Love of God and His Commandments are proof of His love. If ye love Me, keep My Commandments. Psalms 119:151, " Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. " Psalms 119:166, " LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. " There is NO peace in sin, with every wrong way there is shame. Shame, regret and all that is evil can not bring peace or rest or safety. These things (peace, rest and safety, no rest for the wicked, ever) flee the wicked. These things are for them that keep, maintain, do that which is right. For they who do righteousness are righteous even and He is righteous. Whom is not wearing that which they have put on? Having put on the mind of Christ, whom has it not? When one has respect of the doctrine of God, one will have no shame, it will flee, yet I still sigh and cry. The devil will flee them that obey and walk uprightly as God has made all men to be. It is a choice, it is a simple Truth, to understand that men choose to be evil and choose to be good. The son chose to Repent and return to the works, the other chose to not do so. Only one is DOING the will of the Father. Matthew 21:29, " He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. Matthew 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Matthew 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. " Every time one hears the not of works, think of the two sons and think of dividing rightly. There is the state of man that is before the knowledge of the Truth and there is the state of a man after coming to the knowledge of the Truth. They are truly two entirely different things and many lump them together as one. There was a time man sacrificed animals for their sin and a time Christ gave Himself a sacrifice once and for all. They are two entirely different things and times are to be divided from each other. Do not allow anyone to deceive you and deceive not yourselves. What is required is required and what is no more is no more. What was against us taken out of the Way! If a man Names the Name of the Lord they are required to depart from all iniquity. It is the work and be ye filled with the fruits of righteousness. If ye have yet to truly come to the born again state and taste of the graciousness of the Lord Jesus, Repent. For that is a divide from them that truly have and that truly have not. Again, no one, not one single person having come to the knowledge of the Truth will need anyone to tell them they have, they will not need to ask anyone. It is something that can not be missed but it is a thing that can be set aside, laid down, taken for granted, frustrated, forsaken, turned from, ignored and all like to these. Be not foolish and take lightly the salvation that is offered by and through Christ, the Rock of Salvation. Having it quoted to me ignites the fire. Go look again, go read again, refresh thyself in the Truth. How does a young man cleanse his way? Taking heed to the Word. Repent and return to the work. Be just, love mercy and walk humbly with God. Refuse the evil and choose the good. Hate evil and love good. Trust in the Lord and do good. With thy WHOLE heart seek Him and may He not allow one to wonder, drift, from His Commandments. This day O Lord give me the strength that I will need to endure and do that which is good, acceptable and the perfect will of You. Let me not go astray. My Shepherd guide me, show me, teach me, help me. For we are workers together, let us them labor together O my Lord, my Love. I think of the testimony given to me, how it is not mine, I did not give it to myself. The things I testify of are that which were given to me, I may carry them, but they are not mine. It was my experience that I had, and that is mine and not one single soul can take that from me. But the testimony is His. My delight comes when I think about what I was given, I smile when I recall them, things that defy all wisdom of men, make foolish the many things I have heard through out my life and hear even now. These testimonies are my delight and they counsel me, even when I had not a single bit of understanding, as these things that took place, they were giving me instruction instantly but it would take time to grown into them. Even now I search them, a crumb here and a crumb there. Dig through them and find things that have yet to be understood. Knowing it all has purpose, if I will work it out, take the time and remember there is a line. Keep in remembrance, forget it not, fight for it, do the works. There is more to be filled with. More to overflow with that I may share my abundance freely. Freely given, freely give. Anothers lack is truly a gain. Better to give, then to receive. The longer I go and do not write or talk about the Lord, the worse I become, I become heavy, there is less peace, less rest and safety departs. Truly the mind stayed knows peace and the mind adrift is lost. I can feel the distance, it is very tangible. An inch from Him can appear to be a vast distance. One thing I will surely forget not, I have not yet obtained until I have obtained. The race is not over till it is over. So run, run till ye can not any longer run. With all diligence fight the good fight of a working faith by love and proven by deeds. Go over it and over it, be ye filled always with the Truth. Hide no errors, but confess them and forsake them. Have NO pleasure in that which is wicked. No pleasure in a lie, no pleasure in the lusts of the flesh. Make no provisions to fulfill the lust of the flesh. As I say to all, I say to myself, run, dig deep, fight, war, endure, stand fast, hold fast, approve, prove, study, affirm, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Do not take lightly the Rock of your salvation. Do not forsake this time of grace given and the teaching that is wrought by His grace. Deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. Live soberly, righteously and godly lives in this present world, for now is the time for salvation. Recall it all, put it to memory and take up in thy hands the Truth, set it not down. Keep the cup filled, O Lord let me not become unfruitful and empty. Watch the doors of thine mouth and be mindful. Fill me with Thy Law, give to me the measure. Let my conscience speak loudly and Thy Word cut though me deeply. Search me O Lord that I may be clear, clean and prepared for Thy coming. When in the grave my I hear Thy voice upon the resurrection of life and not the resurrection of damnation. For all will hear it, but not all will rise the same. Psalms 119:29, " Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. " John 5:28, " Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. " Walk in liberty by obeying from the heart. Freedom is only free when the price is counted and met. In the Commandments, the Love of God, one walks freely. There is no law against that which is good, the Law is for the lawless. One can not see or hear what one does not transgress. Sin is the transgression of the Love of God, the Commandments. Truly I am not ashamed to speak of Thy testimonies O Lord, truly it is a delight to see them that marvel and them that marvel not. There is hope only in Thee my Lord. The world does not delight in the Truth but in the provisions made for the lusts of the flesh to be fulfilled. The friendship with the world is enmity with God, hatred. Where is that line? So many willing to give up anything to have their wants met. When will the thing that must be given up, be, to deny the Truth for you? Who will cross that line, to be comfortable? Everyday that line is moved, where is that line today? What is the line drawn that one will say no more? Here I stand and I move no more, despite the flesh and its comfort level. Despite what the world tries to sell as right and wrong. Tries to convince me to accept as good, pleasant and to be desired. He who loveth pleasure is dead already, then where is that line. Where is that severity, that gravity, that thing one will say not one more step? Proverbs 21:17, " He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. " 1 Timothy 5:6, " But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. " Pleasure in the WORKS of the Lord, who seeketh them out? Desired to be filled by doing His pleasure. To have true riches, to be filled and over flowing, a cup that can not be consumed. A cup that is always overflowing can not be consumed but it can be shared freely. A man who strives in the works of the Lord will want for nothing. Here be the patience, do not doubt it, He already knows what you have need of, but ask and you will receive, but patience. Ask not amiss, to consume it by the flesh, we ask for that which feeds the Spirit of God within. What person of God wants more than what God gives? Just what I need and no more. Who understands the things that will cause one to lose sight? Whom heareth not the warnings? Psalms 103:21, " Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. " Psalms 111:2, " The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. " Who desires to be rich in the world and poor in the Spirit of God? For the deceitfulness of riches, the temptation will blind, will cause one to become deaf. Having a nose and yet unable to smell. Surrounded by wealth and yet unable to take hold of the true riches. What person of God desires to be rich, when the warning given by the Lord is that no rich man will enter heaven? Unless someone knows how to thread a needle with a camel. Just in the case that the message is missed, it is clearly saying that it is not possible for a rich man to enter the Kingdom. Who wants to be rich in the worldly things? Better to suffer with the children of God, then with the children of the world. The man rich in the Spirit of God will be poor in this world. Be ye filled with the fruits of righteousness. This is our Lords day, it is this seventh day. This day God rested from all His works. This day He sanctified and made it holy. It is lawful to good on this day, what is good? This day is the fourth Commandment given by God. This day was made for man and not man for it. It is the last day of the week. If ye love Me, keep My Commandments. It is remission and not permission. Seek, Repent and Sin No More. We are the Words we speak. Bless and curse not. Swear not at all. Give thanks, thank you O Lord. Thankful I am able to write, to speak, to share, to give, to have, to be free indeed. Thankful to overflow. Praise ye the Lord, give glory, magnify, decrease, let Him increase. Abide. Bless be the day. Filled. Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen... https://lesliewross.weebly.com/blog/filled

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
