Consistency = the ability to ~Maintain~ a particular ~Standard~ shape, condition, degree of matter… Constant = fixed value, unchanging, ever present, ~Faithful~…
Ralph Waldo Emerson once made the statement: “A foolish consistence IS the hobgoblin of small minds”….
I reckon modern man, present day folk just can’t abide in or hold with the stability of a constant stand, OF humble Obedience in consistency to God‘s Written Word, The Bible… Maybe that IS Why so many modern movement folk reject the sound teachings of the Bible and embrace the ever changing, man made fairy tales, of religious practices… AND There are precious few that don’t. Think about IT!
GOD IS: Omnipotent: *ALL Powerful* = (Revelation 19:6)
GOD IS: Omnipresent: *Continuously Present Everywhere* (Proverbs 15:3) (II Chronicles 16:9)
GOD IS: Omniscient: *ALL Knowing* (I Peter 3:12) (Proverbs 22:12)
HE Never Changes… HE IS THE SAME Yesterday; Today; Tomorrow; & FOREVER…
(Exodus 3:14-15) … AND God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM, … THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, and THIS IS MY Memorial unto ~~ALL~~ generations….
(Exodus 15:18) … THE LORD shall reign forever and ever… (This very statement here IS Proof Positive, *IF* one will read *IT* with a humble heart and an obedient mind, That THE “I AM THAT I AM”, IS THE Father, JEHOVAH GOD, and HIM Alone, Because The Son, The Word, Jesus Christ, The Arch Angel HAS Not yet been exalted TO The Throne to sit at the Fathers Right Hand To BE King of kings and Lord of lords…. BUT The LORD referring to HIMSELF AS THE I AM THAT I AM, tells us that HE EXISTED Then, HE Exist Now, and HE WILL Exist Forever, AS THE Almighty and nothing can be put to that, taken away from that OR Change that especially not mere mortal fleshly man, try as they may…. Nowher IS IT Written that The Father ~~Gives up The Throne~~ But that the Son sits with Him as The King… SOOOoooo…),
To serve HIM IN HIS Will and Way, we must be ~~Constantly~~ Faithful… Ever Consistent IN each step we take… OH, my, look around you and then look into the mirror… what do you see??? What ON Earth IS going on IN this world? There IS a line from a song that comes to my mind quite often, “What on earth would you do for heavens sake”?
Would you change the Written Accounts of The Bible? The Book that God Had penned down by the prophets of old and the apostles that walked with Jesus, for us to have as a reminder of how to stay in step with HIS Will and Way, and not be misled by mans traditions?
Would you step on your brothers shoulders to get to the top of the heap, back bite, back stab, undermine your fellow man to get ~Your Way~, your riches? Do you think that God doesn’t see these things, OR that He will forgive these purposeful acts, without a repentant heart present?
(Deuteronomy 7:9).. ~Know~ therefore that the LORD thy God, HE IS God, THE Faithful God, which keepeth ~Covenant~ and mercy ~with them that *Love* HIM~ and ~Keep HIS Commandments~ to a thousand generations….
Like Father, Like Son, Jesus Christ The Alpha The Omega, The First IN ALL Things IS The Same Constitution, make-up, composition as The Father, ~Although~ Jesus IS NOT THE Father, JEHOVAH, BY His Own Admission… yet folks reject this admission, why?
(John 14:28) .. “The Father IS Greater than I”…
(Hebrews 13:8).. Jesus Christ IS THE SAME: yesterday, and today, and forever… (ALSO AS The Father IS)
(I Corinthians 1:9) .. God IS Faithful, BY WHOM ye are ~called~ into the fellowship OF HIS Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord…
(I Corinthians 8:6) .. BUT TO us, There IS BUT ~~One God, THE Father, OF Whom ARE *ALL* Things, and we IN HIM, & AND & One Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom ARE ~ALL~ Things and we ~BY~ Him…. AND!
(Revelations 21: 22) .. I (John) Saw ~NO~ Temple therein: FOR the LORD God Almighty, and (As in ALSO: TOO) The Lamb are the temple of IT… (23) .. FOR ~The Glory OF God DID Lighten IT and The Lamb IS The Light thereof….. TWO Entities, TWO Individuels, Called BY Two different and distinct NAMES, IN ONE Accord, ONE Goal, ONE RULE….
(I John 5:7) … There ~ARE~ THREE that bear record IN Heaven, The Father, The Word, And The Holy Ghost: AND These Three ARE ONE.
(Titus 3:8) … This IS A ~Faithful Saying~, these things I Will that thou ~Affirm Constantly~, that they which have believed in God, Might be careful TO: ~Maintain Good Works~:: These things are good and profitable unto men…
So many Preachers are using scriptures like this for get rich quick schemes set before their congregations… Prosperity Preachers… bringing the message of earthly gain.. Telling folks that God wants them to get rich, and live the good life here on this earth… What IS Lacking in this message, that Jesus taught?
(Mark 10:21).. Jesus beholding him loved him and said unto him: “One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, AND ~Give~ to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: AND Come, take up the cross, AND Follow Me”….
Jesus didn’t pat him on the back and tell him how proud he was of him that he was successful in this earthly life, did He?
Folks just don’t seem to understand that the preparation time of this life is not for a good time in this life, but for preparation of, proving ourselves worthy of, an eternal life… life after the flesh… when this old suit of clay returns back to the earth and the spirit which The LORD God gave us to begin with, returns unto HIM, TO Stand judged as to how we lived this life here in the fleshly bodies of clay…. AS Jesus Warned when He said:
(Luke 21:31)… Watch ye, ~~therefore and pray always, ~~ that ye may ~BE Accounted Worthy~ to escape all these things that shall come to pass, AND TO Stand before the Son of man….
I have never seen such chaos in my life as IS present in the world today, constantly changing, bringing an unstable market, teetering on crash mode in all areas… electronics, staples, fuel… ~ALL~ areas of this world IS on the brink of failing, falling into a deep hole of emptiness… but all folks seem to see is that ~Next Mighty Dollar~ that they can rake in for themselves… SO what IF folks are starving, that’s their problem, the attitude IS: I’ll Promote a charity drive to encourage those that don’t have to give, but what’s mine IS Mine, and what I can take from the charity drive IS Mine tooooooo.. I earned IT by being generous with MY Time”… Sad, SAD, world that we are living in this day….
(Revelation 14:10) The same shall drink of the ~wine of the wrath of God~, which IS poured out, without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, ~In the presence of the holy angels,~ and ~In The Presence of *The Lamb*~…
(II Chronicles 16:9) .. THE EYES OF THE LORD, run to and fro throughout: ~The whole earth~, TO Shew HIMSELF Strong in the behalf of them whose heart *IS* ~Perfect Toward~ HIM….
(I Corinthians 13:2) .. And though I have The gift of prophecy, understand ~ALL~ mysteries, ALL Knowledge, and though I Have ~~Faith~~ so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, … I am nothing….. What ~Constant~ ARE You Consistent IN?

Proving The Adversary
IT IS sad that many would shorten the ~message~ that God gives them to write, or filter the words so as not to offend those who would embrace the ways of the world and not The Truths of God’s Written Word, TO Appease mankind’s traditions, fabled tales, interest of heart that IS IN Direct Opposition with God’s Intended Way, that *HIS* children ~should and must walk~..
IF we would look at, and ~~Identify~~ the adversary, associate him with the things that ARE NOT OF God, then we could see more clearly the danger of the things that we are doing, that the destroyer has painted before our eyes as good sound teaching…
HOW Does The Bible Identify The Adversary of Christ? How he tries to make himself look like unto Christ by his actions, his persuasions, his subtle infiltration into the things that are Truly Written, but falsely interpreted by mans deliverance, by speech and rewritings of the Bible…
(II John 1:7)… The ~Deceiver and the antichrist~… is entered into the world… (The devil IS A deceiver….. The Greek word: ~ planos~ deceiver means to lead into *error*; corrupt; wander; stray away from…)
(Job 2:2)… IT IS Recorded in Job that Satan the Devil, answered, when the LORD asked where he came from? Satan said, “From going to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in it.”.
(Revelation 9:11) .. The king over them (the scorpions or false prophets) is the angel of the ~bottomless pit, whose ~Name in the Hebrew tongue IS Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name as Apollyon… and both of these names hold in meaning: the destroyer or to destroy…
(I John 3:8) .. “FOR he that ~committeth sin~~ IS OF THE devil: for the devil ~Sinneth~ from the beginning…. & … FOR THIS *Purpose* The Son OF God, ~WAS Manifested~, that He Might ~~destroy the works~ of the devil…
(I John 1:2) … (For The Life WAS Manifested.. Which ~WAS With~ The Father… AND was manifested unto us;….) A Note also here: Satan the devil IS NOT The Opposite of God, But rather is the opposer of opponent and the opposite of: Jesus Christ, The One Who fights Satan now and Will fight Satan the devil in the final battle..
Paul warned Also:
(Ephesians 4:27) .. Neither give place to the devil…
In other words don’t get involved in ~~ANTHING~~ that the devil has his hand in… Many think I can do this because I am a child of God, under the Protection OF Jesus, and Jesus lives within me and won’t let anything happen to me, He won’t let Satan have me, so I am safe in anything that I do… This IS Exactly what the devil wants you to think, because this very thought allows his foot to wedge itself in the door of your thoughts and heart… and start a domino effect of falling away from the safety of Christ… Because Satan can’t take you *IF* you stay under the wing of God’s Protection, But you can take yourself out of that place of safety and God will let the adversary take control of your life…
(Psalm 91:4).. HE Shall cover thee with HIS Feathers, and ~~Under HIS Wings~~ shalt thou trust: HIS Truth shall BE thy buckler…. (BUT DO we stay in HIS Truth *OR* do we mix the ways of the world, traditions of men, customs of pagans, into HIS Truth for the ~Pleasure of mankind?) AND Jesus Said:
(Luke 13:34).. Oh, Jerusalem.. Which killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth her brood, under her wings… AND…ye would NOT!… (If Jesus saves us and we have no choice whether we will serve God or Mammon, Why would Jesus say this TO God’s children of Jerusalem?).. AND WHY? Would Jesus: warn us that we *CANNOT* ~Serve Both God and Mammon~? (Matthew 6:24) …
Jesus warned us, Paul warned us, Peter warned us, John warned us… SO WHY LET Satan pull the wool over our eyes? Leading us into thinking that we are saved and nothing can touch us, IF we do what ~we~ want to do…
(Ephesians 6: 11-17) … (v.12).. FOR we wrestle ~Not~ against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of ~~THIS world~~, against ~spiritual wickedness in high places…
WHY do we need to put on the whole armor of God, the helmet of ~Salvation~ AND The Sword of the Spirit, which IS The word of God… (the Written Word as well as The Word, The Messenger, The Angel of The LORD, The High Priest, which IS Jesus Christ…)
What does the word principalities mean? The ruling king, or the territory, which folks will admit that Satan the Devil IS the ruler of this world, BUT when IT comes to turning their face to God and their backs to the world of Satan, many will fall to the temptation to try and straddle the fence, have the best of both worlds… mix things together to make it all good yet another false teaching of Satan, that leads folks to ~Think~ that they can put God into the things that they make up under the guidance of the hissing of the serpent.. Reality Check! Mere man can’t Put God anywhere, BUT Man Must Follow God’s Will, through the Teachings OF HIS Son Jesus, IF man IS going to be saved…. From evil…
(Proverbs 6:27-28)… Can a man take ~Fire~ in his bosom and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon ~hot coals~ and his feet not be burned?.. (Can one walk in the world of man’s false fabled tales of celebrating the Son of God, and not face the coming disaster of being found guilty of: lying; false teaching; having a flattering mouth, making the false teachings look like good practices through the vanity of mans lying tongue?)
(Proverbs 26:28) .. A ~Lying tongue~ hateth those that are afflicted by IT, and a flattering mouth worketh ~~Ruin~~…
We can’t mix *THE Truth’s OF God* with a ~LIE~ of the devil… Just that cut and dried.. For *IF* we break one law and teach it unto others we lead astray and are held accountable for these actions… Notice that The Scripture does not SAY that: he ~will be~ the least in heaven as though he is there as many teach, but that he will be ~~Called~~ the least in heaven… as the angels rejoice also in heaven when one is saved…(Luke 15:10)
(Matthew 5:19)… JEUS SAID, AS He Warned: “Whosoever therefore ~Shall Break~ *ONE OF These Least Commandments*, and shall ~~Teach~~ men so… he shall ~be called~ the least in the Kingdom of Heaven… & (v.20).. Except ~your righteousness~ shall exceed that of the Scribes and the Pharisees, ye shall ~in no case~ enter into: The Kingdom of Heaven….”
(James 2:8-12) … Read IT All in the KJV Bible… (v.10) whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point IS guilty of ~ALL~…
Do we really know, recognize, and realize, JUST When these popular fabled tales came to be?
NOT The Parables that Jesus Taught, for HE Taught in the ~Reality of~ things that actually existed in order to teach man of: The Kingdom of God, HIS Kindness and Mercy and the dangers of missing IT… seeds of grain, wheat, birds of the air…ect…
BUT mankind invented tales of the imagination, or added to the existing tales of false idolatry, fairy tales… Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Colored Eggs, Vampires, Fantasies of Pagan Cultures, even to making Satan The Devil to be a red man with horns and a forked tail that is used as a scare tactic for the children, rather than teaching them: ~IN Truth~ of: THE Real Danger of the spirit of evil which IS the dragon the serpent, Satan the devil… What IS Wrong with people? Everything seems to be a big fun maker, a joke, there IS NO Sincerity in man’s teachings or religious observances..
Have we not read The Bible? Did Jesus become enjoined in any of the customs that were carried on IN the Days that He walked the earth? For many of the root celebrations were in full swing even then… NO! Jesus Taught of: The Kingdom OF God, OF The Heavenly Father, OF The Holy Ghost, OF The Path of Righteous, and Warned of The Ways of the world of Satan…
BUT, the priority of teaching today seems to be, have a good time, full speed ahead into all the things that the world offers, and let the chips fall where they may… BUT THEN! IT IS Going BY THE BOOK… Isn’t IT?
Many people that claimed to be friends, have turned their backs to me because I write these things that the LORD gives me to write… But that Isn’t the most painful experience of my heart, but rather the fact that many are turning their backs to God because they are so adamantly hanging onto the ways of the world through the traditions of men… I DO NOT Ask that anyone take my word for anything, BUT I DO Plead that you Read The Bible and Beware of any bible that has the word: NEW In the Title, because IT has been rewritten to reflect the beliefs of modern man… NOT THE Unchanging Word OF God…
(Mark 7:13) .. Making, *The Word of God* of None Effect, through your ~Traditions~ …
When we infiltrate false teachings into the Truly Written Biblical Accounts of The ~Birth~, Life~, ~Crucifixion,~ Resurrection~ of our Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, what on earth have we done?
IF we would look at, and ~~Identify~~ the adversary, associate him with the things that ARE NOT OF God, then we could see more clearly the danger of the things that we are doing, that the destroyer has painted before our eyes as good sound teaching…

Bright Ideas OR Darkened Views
(Matthew 23:24)… Jesus SAID: “Ye ~Blind~ guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel” ……
How often do you hear: “I will not spank my child, because it puts bruises on him,” but in the next breath you hear: “MY child is gonna grow up to be a football player, I’m gonna make him tough so that he can take the punches”… Gnat & Camel?
Observing moms, dads, even grandparents, that will not call their little ones down and give them a spank on the rear or their hand to make them understand that they must learn and remain in A ~disciplined manner~… for their own good, will give this same child a swift punch on the shoulder with a fist, a slap on the back that almost knocks the breath out of them, to toughen them up make them into fighters… Gnat OR Camel?
Which does the most damage, a light whack on the back of the leg with a switch, that as IS The excuse for not disciplining the child, will cause bruises and could even damage the blood vessels… OR… A fist to the shoulder that could dislocate the shoulder, tear cartilage, and do permanent damage… OR a slap to the tiny back that could injure the lungs even crack a rib? Where IS Adult ~~Logic~~? LOST in the *Darkness* of misplaced values!
(John 8:12) … Jesus said: “I am The Light of the world: he that ~~Followeth~~ Me shall NOT walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” … (Notice that there IS an action that we must take to stay IN THE LIGHT! We MUST Follow Jesus, NOT the ways of the world of Satan.
*IF* we would enter INTO THE *LIGHT* and find the ~Righteous Path~ WE Must SEEK the Honest Counsel that the LORD God Almighty had penned down for us to follow and get our heads out of the misguided world of Satan the devil.. The serpent, Lucifer, the dragon, that paints a pretty picture of ~Grandeur~ and ~Fame~ , setting *IT* before the eyes of the weak that want to be ~Big in The World of mankind…
(Proverbs 23:13-14) .. Withhold ~NOT~ Correction from *The child*: FOR *IF* thou beatest him with the rod, he ~Shall NOT Die~ … Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell….
(Proverbs 13:24) .. He ~That Spareth~ his rod… *Hateth* his son: BUT he that *Loveth* him chasteneth him betimes…
(Proverbs 19:18).. Chasten thy son while there *IS Hope*, and let ~NOT~ thy soul spare for his crying….
(Proverbs 23: 10)… “Remove ~NOT~ the ~Old Landmark~; and enter ~NOT~ Into the fields of the fatherless:”…
ALL TO Often, I have seen IT happen IN Congregations, that ~The Youth Movement~ gets TO educated to study God’s Word any more… The ~Discipline~ IT IS Decided can be found on their own terms, and the offices are taken away from the old sages that are seasoned in the righteous way, (not that any one no matter the age ever has or ever will learn and know all that is to be learned), BUT they have learned to be disciplined in the need to be ever learning the Truths OF The Written Word, and not mans way…
Right away there IS reflected A Need TO Change the agenda TO Include MORE things that appeal to the youth… SO we get into the worldly trends, music, celebrations, parties, fun-times become more and more prevalent and the ~True Teachings of God The Father and HIS Kingdom, The Guidance of The Holy Ghost, and the Gospel OF The Son Jesus Christ, becomes ~~MORE ABOUT~~ good times in the world than about: Sincerity of Serving our Maker, through ~Respect and Godly Fear…~~~
IN Fact *IF* you look at the ~~Youth Rallies~~ today, LOOK Hard and see IF there IS Really any Respect of God there? IT IS ALL About the head-banging music of today’s fads, a very few words of God interlaced into the phrases, and this IS The guise of teaching…IT IS MORE About SELF gratification… Where IS THE Sincere Learning? The Kind THAT Jesus did when He walked this earth setting the ~Examples~ for us to follow… ~~ALL OF US~~ children, parents, men, women, of ~~ALL~~ walks of life… WE teach the childhood stories in ~SOME~ Sunday School Classes, BUT! Do we really get into the true teachings that are Written Here in them?
(Proverbs 19: 26) .. He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, *IS A* son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach…
(Proverbs 23:17).. Let ~NOT~ thine heart ~~Envy sinners~: BUT ~Be~ thou in the fear of The LORD ~ALL Day Long….
(Proverbs 23:12) Apply ~thine heart~ unto *Instruction*, and ~thine ears~ to the *Words of Knowledge*… What DID Jesus Do? WE gladly wear the bracelets and banners that have the letters: --WWJD-- imprinted on them… BUT then having put God’s Written Book of ~ALL~ Instruction on the shelf and taken on the ways of the world, how can one know what Jesus Really DID… EXCEPT THAT, we read the events of Jesus LIFE that The Father HAD Penned Down for us to read and learn of HIS Son… That IS ALL WE Need to read… NOT the stories of the world, the bright ideas of some fantasy of man… and there are many tales filtered into the Churches that are nothing more than ~Tales From The Darkside!~…
IF you Read From THE Book of ALL Instruction into the LIGTH OF God’s Will and Way you find that Jesus, DID Not join the youth movements, the modern ways, (Ways that were modern at that time) the Cesar Plans, the clans and clubs, BUT!
(Luke 2: 42 & 46-49)… ~~When He (Jesus) WAS~ *Twelve* years old, they went to Jerusalem… & After three days they found Him ~IN THE Temple~, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both **Hearing & Asking them Question**.. AND when they found Him He SAID: “How IS IT That ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I Must Be about My Fathers Business?”
Many people read this and take IT To mean that we turn our children loose to do as they please at the age of twelve, because they are learned and smart…some younger… WRONG! Our children are NOT AS Jesus WAS, they are mere mortals with fleshly weaknesses.. AND are apt to be misled by the lures of Satan the Devil… Then another mistake that folks make IS THAT Jesus won’t turn them aloose and let them fall to unbelief or bad things… tell that one to the parents of those who walked into the schools and killed fellow students, tell that to the parents of ones who followed the ways of the world to become avowed atheist… DID we teach them:: ~~TO FOLLOW~~ Jesus IN order to Receive His Guidance, OR To blasé their own trails in the ways of the world To satisfy their self pleasures? Gnat OR Camel? Duty OR Chance? LIGHT OR Darkness?
(Luke 4:14-17) … Jesus ~~Returned~~ *IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT* … (Not the way of the world then)… INTO Galilee… AND He ~~Taught~~ IN Their Synagogues.. (Not the customs of the world, their celebrations, their music and games BUT) He came to Nazareth where He had been brought up: ** AND AS His Custom WAS,** He went ~Into~ the Synagogue on the Sabbath Day, AND Stood up TO READ: .. The Book OF Esaias, and when He had opened THE BOOK, He found the place where IT IS Written:… (V’s 18-19) read AS IT IS Written in the Book of: (Isaiah 61: 1-2) ,,
He wasn’t reading His daily horoscope, or the latest fairy tale of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, OR passing out the brightly colored dozen eggs that supposedly represent: His life and death here on this earth… NO! He read from the Scrolls that His Father HAD Penned down by the Prophets of old…. What has changed about God’s Teaching? Nothing! But mankind has attempted to change IT to suit themselves.. Turned the youth aloose to follow the adversary, because the parents gag at the gnat, of discipline and swallow the camel, of destruction….
How often do you hear: “I will not spank my child, because it puts bruises on him,” but in the next breath you hear: “MY child is gonna grow up to be a football player, I’m gonna make him tough so that he can take the punches”… Gnat & Camel?
Observing moms, dads, even grandparents, that will not call their little ones down and give them a spank on the rear or their hand to make them understand that they must learn and remain in A ~disciplined manner~… for their own good, will give this same child a swift punch on the shoulder with a fist, a slap on the back that almost knocks the breath out of them, to toughen them up make them into fighters… Gnat OR Camel?
Which does the most damage, a light whack on the back of the leg with a switch, that as IS The excuse for not disciplining the child, will cause bruises and could even damage the blood vessels… OR… A fist to the shoulder that could dislocate the shoulder, tear cartilage, and do permanent damage… OR a slap to the tiny back that could injure the lungs even crack a rib? Where IS Adult ~~Logic~~? LOST in the *Darkness* of misplaced values!
(John 8:12) … Jesus said: “I am The Light of the world: he that ~~Followeth~~ Me shall NOT walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” … (Notice that there IS an action that we must take to stay IN THE LIGHT! We MUST Follow Jesus, NOT the ways of the world of Satan.
*IF* we would enter INTO THE *LIGHT* and find the ~Righteous Path~ WE Must SEEK the Honest Counsel that the LORD God Almighty had penned down for us to follow and get our heads out of the misguided world of Satan the devil.. The serpent, Lucifer, the dragon, that paints a pretty picture of ~Grandeur~ and ~Fame~ , setting *IT* before the eyes of the weak that want to be ~Big in The World of mankind…
(Proverbs 23:13-14) .. Withhold ~NOT~ Correction from *The child*: FOR *IF* thou beatest him with the rod, he ~Shall NOT Die~ … Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell….
(Proverbs 13:24) .. He ~That Spareth~ his rod… *Hateth* his son: BUT he that *Loveth* him chasteneth him betimes…
(Proverbs 19:18).. Chasten thy son while there *IS Hope*, and let ~NOT~ thy soul spare for his crying….
(Proverbs 23: 10)… “Remove ~NOT~ the ~Old Landmark~; and enter ~NOT~ Into the fields of the fatherless:”…
ALL TO Often, I have seen IT happen IN Congregations, that ~The Youth Movement~ gets TO educated to study God’s Word any more… The ~Discipline~ IT IS Decided can be found on their own terms, and the offices are taken away from the old sages that are seasoned in the righteous way, (not that any one no matter the age ever has or ever will learn and know all that is to be learned), BUT they have learned to be disciplined in the need to be ever learning the Truths OF The Written Word, and not mans way…
Right away there IS reflected A Need TO Change the agenda TO Include MORE things that appeal to the youth… SO we get into the worldly trends, music, celebrations, parties, fun-times become more and more prevalent and the ~True Teachings of God The Father and HIS Kingdom, The Guidance of The Holy Ghost, and the Gospel OF The Son Jesus Christ, becomes ~~MORE ABOUT~~ good times in the world than about: Sincerity of Serving our Maker, through ~Respect and Godly Fear…~~~
IN Fact *IF* you look at the ~~Youth Rallies~~ today, LOOK Hard and see IF there IS Really any Respect of God there? IT IS ALL About the head-banging music of today’s fads, a very few words of God interlaced into the phrases, and this IS The guise of teaching…IT IS MORE About SELF gratification… Where IS THE Sincere Learning? The Kind THAT Jesus did when He walked this earth setting the ~Examples~ for us to follow… ~~ALL OF US~~ children, parents, men, women, of ~~ALL~~ walks of life… WE teach the childhood stories in ~SOME~ Sunday School Classes, BUT! Do we really get into the true teachings that are Written Here in them?
(Proverbs 19: 26) .. He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, *IS A* son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach…
(Proverbs 23:17).. Let ~NOT~ thine heart ~~Envy sinners~: BUT ~Be~ thou in the fear of The LORD ~ALL Day Long….
(Proverbs 23:12) Apply ~thine heart~ unto *Instruction*, and ~thine ears~ to the *Words of Knowledge*… What DID Jesus Do? WE gladly wear the bracelets and banners that have the letters: --WWJD-- imprinted on them… BUT then having put God’s Written Book of ~ALL~ Instruction on the shelf and taken on the ways of the world, how can one know what Jesus Really DID… EXCEPT THAT, we read the events of Jesus LIFE that The Father HAD Penned Down for us to read and learn of HIS Son… That IS ALL WE Need to read… NOT the stories of the world, the bright ideas of some fantasy of man… and there are many tales filtered into the Churches that are nothing more than ~Tales From The Darkside!~…
IF you Read From THE Book of ALL Instruction into the LIGTH OF God’s Will and Way you find that Jesus, DID Not join the youth movements, the modern ways, (Ways that were modern at that time) the Cesar Plans, the clans and clubs, BUT!
(Luke 2: 42 & 46-49)… ~~When He (Jesus) WAS~ *Twelve* years old, they went to Jerusalem… & After three days they found Him ~IN THE Temple~, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both **Hearing & Asking them Question**.. AND when they found Him He SAID: “How IS IT That ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I Must Be about My Fathers Business?”
Many people read this and take IT To mean that we turn our children loose to do as they please at the age of twelve, because they are learned and smart…some younger… WRONG! Our children are NOT AS Jesus WAS, they are mere mortals with fleshly weaknesses.. AND are apt to be misled by the lures of Satan the Devil… Then another mistake that folks make IS THAT Jesus won’t turn them aloose and let them fall to unbelief or bad things… tell that one to the parents of those who walked into the schools and killed fellow students, tell that to the parents of ones who followed the ways of the world to become avowed atheist… DID we teach them:: ~~TO FOLLOW~~ Jesus IN order to Receive His Guidance, OR To blasé their own trails in the ways of the world To satisfy their self pleasures? Gnat OR Camel? Duty OR Chance? LIGHT OR Darkness?
(Luke 4:14-17) … Jesus ~~Returned~~ *IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT* … (Not the way of the world then)… INTO Galilee… AND He ~~Taught~~ IN Their Synagogues.. (Not the customs of the world, their celebrations, their music and games BUT) He came to Nazareth where He had been brought up: ** AND AS His Custom WAS,** He went ~Into~ the Synagogue on the Sabbath Day, AND Stood up TO READ: .. The Book OF Esaias, and when He had opened THE BOOK, He found the place where IT IS Written:… (V’s 18-19) read AS IT IS Written in the Book of: (Isaiah 61: 1-2) ,,
He wasn’t reading His daily horoscope, or the latest fairy tale of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, OR passing out the brightly colored dozen eggs that supposedly represent: His life and death here on this earth… NO! He read from the Scrolls that His Father HAD Penned down by the Prophets of old…. What has changed about God’s Teaching? Nothing! But mankind has attempted to change IT to suit themselves.. Turned the youth aloose to follow the adversary, because the parents gag at the gnat, of discipline and swallow the camel, of destruction….

Humbly Walk IN Pride?
(Micah 7:2) …The ~good~ man IS perished out of the earth: there IS None ~upright~ among men: they ~ALL~ lie in wait for blood: they hunt every man his brother with a net…. (v.5a.) .. Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide:…(6:8)… HE hath ~showed~ thee O man, what IS Good; AND What THE LORD doth require of thee, but TO DO Justly, and TO Love Mercy, and TO walk ~~Humbly~ with thy God….
How many times do we observe folks that have great secular educations, claim to use this vast knowledge to ~teach~ the world..
What IS actually taught? IN looking at a person that IS highly educated, most times you begin to see that the head grows big in self… (II Timothy 3:2 & 4) … men shall be lovers ~of their own selves~ ..despisers of those that are good .. Highminded, ~Lovers of pleasures~ More than lovers of God: (5)… Having a form of godliness, BUT denying the ~~Power~~ thereof: form such turn away…
Attitude expands widely to a feeling of better than thou… (Psalm 10: 2 & 4) … the wicked through the ~~Pride~~ of his countenance ~~Will Not Seek~ After God, God IS NOT IN his thoughts…
BUT, the first thought of defense IS: Oh, that speaks of the wicked, and I AM NOT *Wicked*! In the course of: =secular education comes, selective interpretation=… AND folks forget the meaning of simple words like ~Wicked~ which means: ~Evil; mischievous; wrong, sinful, *disobedient*, the opposite OF: goodness… AS in the difference between the Broad and spacious path and the narrow strait gate… OF which ~~ALL~~ things can be and are related to and found to be seated on, one or the other…
As the weight of the ~big head~ grows, leaning IT backward toward the world, the nose has to extend outward, so that the person must look down their nose at ~all~ those around them..
A strong feeling of ~self-worth~ starts to envelope the subject… egged on by the world of Satan who preaches to all, we must attain ~Self-Worth~ in order to succeed in this world… Get up and fight for the top of the ladder, be swifter, and better than your opponent… Competition arises… AS Jesus SAID:
(Mark 7: 20 - 23) .. “That which cometh ~Out~ of the man, that ~defileth~ the man.. For from within, out of the ~heart~ of men, proceed: evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, wickedness, ~pride~, Foolishness…. ALL These ~~Evil~~ things come forth from within to defile the man… (AND the woman)… Simply explained by Jesus Christ, what man sees as a good thing, isn’t always good before THE LORD….
Then you find yourself going along, right in step with the ways of the world because one must ~Also~ be popular to succeed in this world… SOOOooo… we gotta dress like everyone else, we gotta get involved in the hottest trends and fads.. We gotta party hardy, and punk junk, IF we are gonna ~Be Somebody~ …
ALL The while ~Each Step We Take~ leads us further away from a closer walk with the LORD through HIS Son Jesus Christ, even though we set out to ~Grow~ in Knowledge and become a ~Great Biblical Teacher~ By getting educated in the secular teachings of The Bible… AND By doing this we stepped out of the way of The Spiritual Guidance of The Holy Spirit, That THE Father sends to ~Lead us into ALL things~… (John 14: 26).. “BUT THE Comforter, which IS The Holy Ghost, Whom THE Father shall send IN My Name, He Shall ~Teach~ you ~~ALL~~ Things, and bring to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you…
We get TOOOoooo… BIG for our britches… our ears get turned away, so that the Spirit will not lead us or bring to remembrance of these things because our minds are filled with the junk of the world… the rock music is to loud to for our ear to head the ~Small Still Voice~ of the Spirit… The ipods and cell games have our eyes to consumed for the focus of our vision to rest in the sight that the LORD sends by the Spirit, and we miss the Guidance that is sent to us… thus failing to respond to good sound teaching.. Because our minds are filled to overflowing with the ~Trash of The World~~…
Look out the window.. Where IS The World headed? … IT IS Swiftly spinning along toward the coming day OF IT’S Destruction… and you are on board for the ride??? Take Heed… Open your eyes… LOOK before you leap!
(Micah 3:11) .. The ~heads~ thereof ~judge~ for ~reward~.. The ~priests~ thereof ~teach~ for ~hire~, … The ~prophets~ divine for ~money~… YET! Will they lean upon the LORD and say, “IS not the LORD among ~US~ none evil can come upon us” …???
Sound like a scene from the world OF today???
(II Peter 3: 7) .. But ~the heavens & the earth~, which are now, BY the ~~Same Word~~ are kept in store, ~reserved~ unto *FIRE* against the *Day of Judgment* and perdition OF ungodly men… (v.11)… Peter, who walked with Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, asked: “Seeing then that ~~ALL~~ these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be IN ~ALL~ holy conversation & godliness?”
When you hear the speaker that stands before a congregation gathered into: The House, Dedicated TO BE God’s House OF Prayer, stand and make a fleshly statement like: “Who has a birthday that we can sing ~TO~ today? .. “Don’t try to hide, cause we’re gonna sing ~TO~ you whether you like it or not”… AND you hear folks enter into the Church doors stating: “Today IS ~~MY~~ birthday and I’ve come to get “Happy Birthday” sung to me”! IT should shake you in your shoes, and rattle the spirit within you…does IT? Because the Church IS teaching the world of flesh and ~Putting~ the day of ones fleshly birth Ahead OF THE worship OF THE LORD, THE Very one that gave us That fleshly birth, and this fleshly life in order that we may ~~Prove~~ ourselves ~~Before~~ God and The world.. Whether we are worth OF life IN The Kingdom of God… AND IN The Kingdom of God we will ALL Praise the LORD not each other…. Not a lost and dying world or the things in it…
(Deuteronomy 8:2) .. & (Romans 12:2) & ((II Corinthians 13:5) & (Galatians 6:4)
(Proverbs 16: 18) .. ~Pride~ goeth before ~~Destruction~~ and a haughty spirit before a great fall…
BUT then when you hear someone pray, “Dear Baby Jesus”… IT can only tell us that The ~Life: Death: Resurrection: AND Ascension OF our Savior, has NOT and IS NOT Realized, accepted, and That Jesus is not, in the hearts, thoughts, and minds of the leaders nor has been looked upon as the Savior of our souls… NOR Has IT Been Taught that Jesus came and IS Returned, and IT IS Done, He sits as our High Priest, at the Right Hand of The Father, TO Make ~Intercession~ for our very existence.… SO WHY? Try and bring Him back as a Baby in the flesh, and place Him under a tree decorated with the lights of the world?.. Why, put Him on the cross again each year, and put the colored eggs of the pagan gods and goddesses all around the foot of the cross, that point to a fleshly birth, and false teachings, instead of: ~the spiritual birth~ that we are commissioned BY: Jesus to look forward to, Work toward: live this life that The Father gave us in accordance with HIS Will in the Instruction that HE Had Written for us to follow????
(Hebrews 6: 6) … seeing they ~Crucify~ to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame…. *IF* after ~ALL~ That Christ has done for us, that we may enter INTO the Kingdom of God.. We can’t hold The Father and The Son in a Higher place in our hearts than to attempt to place them in the celebrations of the pagan false gods that The Father HAS warned about ~~ALL~~ throughout the ages and the Written Scriptures, what on earth can we expect, but total destruction? When we do these things we put Jesus back on the cross and join the throng OF mockers, that spat on Him while He was here on this earth… (Mark 15:16-20)…
(I John 2:16) … FOR ~ALL~ That IS In the world, The lust of the flesh, The lust of the eyes, and the ~Pride~ of life, IS NOT OF, THE Father, But IS OF the world….
How many times do we observe folks that have great secular educations, claim to use this vast knowledge to ~teach~ the world..

Called & Chosen TO Live OR Die
God Does give ~everyone~ an opportunity, a chance to enter into HIS Kingdom… IT hurts my heart to hear folks say, “If you are not ~one~ of the chosen then you are doomed, because you have ~NO~ choice but to reject Jesus”.. Here you are making God INTO a liar and a promise breaker as Peter Wrote differently:
(II Peter 3:9)… The Lord ~IS NOT~ Slack Concerning HIS Promise, AS Some men count slackness; BUT IS Longsuffering to usward, ~~NOT Willing~ That ~~ANY~~ Should perish, BUT That ~~ALL~~ should come to repentance….
What ~Example~ Did THE LORD show of The Lesson of Jonah?… Many people read this book as ~ALL About Jonah in the belly of the whale~ .. BUT : The main lesson IS: By God sending Jonah which did rebel at HIS Calling, but by punishment Jonah came around, turned about and went an preached to Nineveh.. As a result of his preaching what God bid him , the people turned around and believed .. (3: 10) AND God saw their works that they turned from their evil way, AND God repented of the evil that HE had said that HE would do unto them….
AND That IS NOT What Jesus SAID!
(Luke 11:28-32) … “Blessed ARE They That ~~Hear the word of God, and Keep~~ *IT*”.. “an evil generation that seeks a sign.. No sign given but the sign of Jonas… For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation…the men of Nineve shall rise up in judgment of this generation and condemn IT for they ~~Repented~~ at the preaching of Jonas, and one greater than Jonas IS Here…
(Mark 1:15) … “The ~Time IS Fulfilled~, and The Kingdom OF God IS AT Hand; Repent ye, and believe the Gospel…”
Why would Jesus even preach the message of ~Repentance~ *IF* He CHOOSES Some to Live and some to die and IT IS Cut and Dried, no one has a choice?
Do you not recall His Words IN: (Matthew 7:11 - 27) Read IT ALL Carefully and see IF our fate IS sealed By Jesus Words OR IF He gives to ALL a Choice TO enter in BY The ~Strait Gate~? AS IT IS Written: (v.11) *IF* ye being evil know ~how to Give Good gifts unto your children.. How Much MORE shall your ~~FATHER~~ which IS IN Heaven give good things unto them ~~That ASK~~? (v. 21).. “NOT Everyone that saith Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven” … (BUT WHO WILL?) “But he that doeth ~~THE WILL OF:~ My Father which IS IN Heaven” ..
How are we called? How are we Chosen? How do we fall short of the Kingdom of Heaven?
The words written in (John 15:16) many misconstrue to mean that we have ~NO~ Choice.. That a Loving Father chooses some to save and some to destroy… BUT Jesus was telling the disciples that they did not ~Choose~ Him, BUT He chose them… They did not seek Him out, they did not come to find Him.. But He came to them… AND He came to others also…and called unto ~ALL~
(Luke 9:56 -62).. “For the Son of man IS NOT Come TO destroy men‘s lives, BUT TO save them.. As Jesus walked some came to follow Him, but had other things to do first… AND Jesus said.. “No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back IS Fit for the Kingdom of Heaven”… Did these men have the choice to leave the world behind and follow Jesus, OR Did Jesus Make them look at the world?
Why DID God The Father Send HIS Son Jesus Christ INTO The World? To condemn some to death and choose some to live? Jesus SAID:
(John 3:17)… God sent *NOT* HIS Son into the world TO Condemn the World; BUT That the world ~~Through~~ Him might be saved”… WELL What Happened? (v. 18).. “He that ~Believeth~ on Him IS NOT Condemned: But he that believeth NOT IS Condemned ~~already~~.. BECAUSE, he hath not believed in the Name of The Only Begotten Son of God”.. There IS A Reason and a Cause OF ~ALL~ Effects, Results… AS IT IS Written.. IF there weren’t God would not have given Adam and Eve the ~~Choice~~ To obey or rebel.. To stay faithful in believing HIS Word of Command, or TO challenge HIS Power by seeking their own way, and so IT IS Today… WE have that choice, TO Faithfully Obey in the Belief of the Father, and The Son, OR arrogantly follow our ~Own~ way, which will be to our condemnation..
This sounds like a Loving Father that WANTS ~ALL~ HIS Children to repent and be saved… HE IS A Father That Knows our hearts, thoughts, and minds.
Yes HE Can change our ways by force, IF HE Sees a good heart inside…
BUT, TRUE TO HIS NATURE, HE Does give ~Everyone~ the opportunity TO Repent…
(Revelation 2:21).. I gave her space to repent of her fornication; AND she repented NOT..
EXCEPT The Evil that HE Created, which HE Will Destroy…
(II Peter 2:11-12) …But these as natural brute beast… shall perish in their own destruction..
OH, AND Peter… Was called and he was chosen. BUT How Did Jesus teach Peter of his own faults? Did Jesus give Peter the opportunity to repent OR did He seal Peter unto destruction because peter failed as Jesus Knew he would?
(Mark 14 30) Jesus Told Peter: “Verily I say unto thee, that before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice”.. (v.72) the second time the cock crew, Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, (Then What DID he do? Keep on walking in this way in denial of Christ? OR)… When he thought thereon he wept….
And what OF the parable in (Matthew 21: 28 -32) .. Read IT and consider the lesson that Jesus IS Teaching here… IS IT That He chooses some to die and some to live, or that He gives us all room to repent and lets us make the decision of Whom we will spend eternity with? OR IS IT AS IT IS Written Jesus Said?
(Luke 10 25 - 28)… A certain ~lawyer~ stood up and tempted Him, saying, Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus answered him, “What IS Written in the law? How readest thou?” .. And the lawyer answered.. “Thou shalt Love The LORD thy God with ~ALL~ thy heart, and with ~ALL~ thy soul, strength,, and mind, and thy neighbor as thyself… AND Jesus Said unto him:, “Thou hast answered right; this do and thou shalt live”…
God gives us a way to live.. HE Made a ~Provision~ That ~ALL~ May come to a knowledge of HIM and be saved…
(Luke 18:26-30).. Who then can be saved? .. “The things which Are impossible with man are possible with God.. These IS ~~no man~~ that hath left house… for the Kingdom of God’s Sake, that shall not receive manifold in this life and in the world to come life everlasting…”
(Luke 21:36) … “Watch and Pray, that ye may be accounted ~~Worthy~~ to escape the things that shall come to pass and TO Stand before the Son of man…..”
(Romans 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the Name of The LORD shall Be Saved… IF man can’t Believe this then what Hope IS There? AND IF man Can’t Believe That: AS Jesus Said: IN: (John 14:18).. I Will NOT Leave you ~~Comfortless~~… & (v.15). “*IF* you Love Me, Keep My Commandments”.. & “Except ye ~Repent~ ye shall likewise perish”.. (Luke 13:5).. Then what IS left for man to believe in, How can faith be attained and held, IF we are taught that we are already condemned to die because we are ~NOT Chosen~ and nothing we can do will change that? What Does God The Father think of This teaching?
(Matthew 12: 36-37) .. “Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account of in the day of judgment For by thy ~Words~ thou shalt be justified, and by they words thou shalt be condemned…
IF we take one verse and hinge the whole Gospel on IT and turn from the rest of AS IT IS Written we fall very short of the message that God Sends for us to learn, and share with ~~ALL~~ the nations of the world…. And live our life here on earth in corresponding harmony with.
(II Peter 3:9)… The Lord ~IS NOT~ Slack Concerning HIS Promise, AS Some men count slackness; BUT IS Longsuffering to usward, ~~NOT Willing~ That ~~ANY~~ Should perish, BUT That ~~ALL~~ should come to repentance….
What ~Example~ Did THE LORD show of The Lesson of Jonah?… Many people read this book as ~ALL About Jonah in the belly of the whale~ .. BUT : The main lesson IS: By God sending Jonah which did rebel at HIS Calling, but by punishment Jonah came around, turned about and went an preached to Nineveh.. As a result of his preaching what God bid him , the people turned around and believed .. (3: 10) AND God saw their works that they turned from their evil way, AND God repented of the evil that HE had said that HE would do unto them….
AND That IS NOT What Jesus SAID!
(Luke 11:28-32) … “Blessed ARE They That ~~Hear the word of God, and Keep~~ *IT*”.. “an evil generation that seeks a sign.. No sign given but the sign of Jonas… For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation…the men of Nineve shall rise up in judgment of this generation and condemn IT for they ~~Repented~~ at the preaching of Jonas, and one greater than Jonas IS Here…
(Mark 1:15) … “The ~Time IS Fulfilled~, and The Kingdom OF God IS AT Hand; Repent ye, and believe the Gospel…”
Why would Jesus even preach the message of ~Repentance~ *IF* He CHOOSES Some to Live and some to die and IT IS Cut and Dried, no one has a choice?
Do you not recall His Words IN: (Matthew 7:11 - 27) Read IT ALL Carefully and see IF our fate IS sealed By Jesus Words OR IF He gives to ALL a Choice TO enter in BY The ~Strait Gate~? AS IT IS Written: (v.11) *IF* ye being evil know ~how to Give Good gifts unto your children.. How Much MORE shall your ~~FATHER~~ which IS IN Heaven give good things unto them ~~That ASK~~? (v. 21).. “NOT Everyone that saith Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven” … (BUT WHO WILL?) “But he that doeth ~~THE WILL OF:~ My Father which IS IN Heaven” ..
How are we called? How are we Chosen? How do we fall short of the Kingdom of Heaven?
The words written in (John 15:16) many misconstrue to mean that we have ~NO~ Choice.. That a Loving Father chooses some to save and some to destroy… BUT Jesus was telling the disciples that they did not ~Choose~ Him, BUT He chose them… They did not seek Him out, they did not come to find Him.. But He came to them… AND He came to others also…and called unto ~ALL~
(Luke 9:56 -62).. “For the Son of man IS NOT Come TO destroy men‘s lives, BUT TO save them.. As Jesus walked some came to follow Him, but had other things to do first… AND Jesus said.. “No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back IS Fit for the Kingdom of Heaven”… Did these men have the choice to leave the world behind and follow Jesus, OR Did Jesus Make them look at the world?
Why DID God The Father Send HIS Son Jesus Christ INTO The World? To condemn some to death and choose some to live? Jesus SAID:
(John 3:17)… God sent *NOT* HIS Son into the world TO Condemn the World; BUT That the world ~~Through~~ Him might be saved”… WELL What Happened? (v. 18).. “He that ~Believeth~ on Him IS NOT Condemned: But he that believeth NOT IS Condemned ~~already~~.. BECAUSE, he hath not believed in the Name of The Only Begotten Son of God”.. There IS A Reason and a Cause OF ~ALL~ Effects, Results… AS IT IS Written.. IF there weren’t God would not have given Adam and Eve the ~~Choice~~ To obey or rebel.. To stay faithful in believing HIS Word of Command, or TO challenge HIS Power by seeking their own way, and so IT IS Today… WE have that choice, TO Faithfully Obey in the Belief of the Father, and The Son, OR arrogantly follow our ~Own~ way, which will be to our condemnation..
This sounds like a Loving Father that WANTS ~ALL~ HIS Children to repent and be saved… HE IS A Father That Knows our hearts, thoughts, and minds.
Yes HE Can change our ways by force, IF HE Sees a good heart inside…
BUT, TRUE TO HIS NATURE, HE Does give ~Everyone~ the opportunity TO Repent…
(Revelation 2:21).. I gave her space to repent of her fornication; AND she repented NOT..
EXCEPT The Evil that HE Created, which HE Will Destroy…
(II Peter 2:11-12) …But these as natural brute beast… shall perish in their own destruction..
OH, AND Peter… Was called and he was chosen. BUT How Did Jesus teach Peter of his own faults? Did Jesus give Peter the opportunity to repent OR did He seal Peter unto destruction because peter failed as Jesus Knew he would?
(Mark 14 30) Jesus Told Peter: “Verily I say unto thee, that before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice”.. (v.72) the second time the cock crew, Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, (Then What DID he do? Keep on walking in this way in denial of Christ? OR)… When he thought thereon he wept….
And what OF the parable in (Matthew 21: 28 -32) .. Read IT and consider the lesson that Jesus IS Teaching here… IS IT That He chooses some to die and some to live, or that He gives us all room to repent and lets us make the decision of Whom we will spend eternity with? OR IS IT AS IT IS Written Jesus Said?
(Luke 10 25 - 28)… A certain ~lawyer~ stood up and tempted Him, saying, Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus answered him, “What IS Written in the law? How readest thou?” .. And the lawyer answered.. “Thou shalt Love The LORD thy God with ~ALL~ thy heart, and with ~ALL~ thy soul, strength,, and mind, and thy neighbor as thyself… AND Jesus Said unto him:, “Thou hast answered right; this do and thou shalt live”…
God gives us a way to live.. HE Made a ~Provision~ That ~ALL~ May come to a knowledge of HIM and be saved…
(Luke 18:26-30).. Who then can be saved? .. “The things which Are impossible with man are possible with God.. These IS ~~no man~~ that hath left house… for the Kingdom of God’s Sake, that shall not receive manifold in this life and in the world to come life everlasting…”
(Luke 21:36) … “Watch and Pray, that ye may be accounted ~~Worthy~~ to escape the things that shall come to pass and TO Stand before the Son of man…..”
(Romans 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the Name of The LORD shall Be Saved… IF man can’t Believe this then what Hope IS There? AND IF man Can’t Believe That: AS Jesus Said: IN: (John 14:18).. I Will NOT Leave you ~~Comfortless~~… & (v.15). “*IF* you Love Me, Keep My Commandments”.. & “Except ye ~Repent~ ye shall likewise perish”.. (Luke 13:5).. Then what IS left for man to believe in, How can faith be attained and held, IF we are taught that we are already condemned to die because we are ~NOT Chosen~ and nothing we can do will change that? What Does God The Father think of This teaching?
(Matthew 12: 36-37) .. “Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account of in the day of judgment For by thy ~Words~ thou shalt be justified, and by they words thou shalt be condemned…
IF we take one verse and hinge the whole Gospel on IT and turn from the rest of AS IT IS Written we fall very short of the message that God Sends for us to learn, and share with ~~ALL~~ the nations of the world…. And live our life here on earth in corresponding harmony with.

OF: Grace, Faith, Obedience
(Romans 1:1-5) …Paul, a ~servant~ OF: Jesus Christ ~called~ TO BE an Apostle, separated unto the ~Gospel~ OF: *God*… Which HE HAD promised afore BY: HIS Prophets in the Holy Scriptures.. ~Concerning~ *HIS* Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made flesh of the seed of David according to the flesh… AND ~Declared~ TO BE The Son of *God* /With Power, According to The Spirit of Holiness, BY: The Resurrection from the dead… BY WHOM: we received ~Grace & Apostleship~, FOR: +Obedience+ TO: The Faith among ~ALL~ nations, FOR: HIS NAME…
These five verses give the whole of God’s Saving Grace in the circle of life AS IT IS…
Noah found ~~Grace~~ in the eyes of the LORD… HOW? BY Faith, Proven BY: his obedient work commissioned BY: God… (Genesis 6:8; 13; & 22) .. DID God ~~MAKE~~ Noah obey so as not to lose his Favor by God? OR DID Noah humbly accept God’s Instruction and obey with his heart of faith toward God?
By his obedient ~Work~ Noah ~Proved~ himself ~True to God The Father and not the world of mankind around him…
(Romans 4:16)…Therefore IT IS OF: ~Faith~ that *IT* Might BE BY: ~~Grace~~; to the end the ~Promise~ might be sure to ~~ALL~~ The seed; NOT to that ~~ONLY~~ which is of the ~Law~ BUT TO: that *ALSO* which IS OF: The ~Faith~ of Abraham; who IS The father of us all…
So God’s Commandments still stand of the ten and all HIS Statutes… Jesus took away the daily sacrifice, but He confirmed the ~~LAW~~ of Obedience through faith…
(Matthew 5:18) & (Luke 16:17)
(Romans 5:2).. Therefore, ~Being Justified~ BY: ~Faith~, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
(Romans 6:15-16).. What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under ~Grace~ ? God forbid! Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye ~ARE~ to whom ye obey whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness….
Here is the freedom that God gives us TO Chose: who we will serve… HE does not force us to BE HIS servants, HE does not hold us to HIM *IF* we chose to follow the world… We follow HIM through faith IN God and HIS Son Jesus Christ, and PROVE our Faith by our works…AS James wrote…
In other words we cannot claim TO: believe God, sit in a Church House, and prove our faith actually to be in the world and of the flesh by our actions our works.. We can’t steadily polish the steps of Jacobs ladder, while singing praise to the nations of the world… Or spending time working ~For The Church~ in Jesus Name while, all our works are based on the cultures and pagan traditions of men.. And NOT ON The Truths AS IT IS Written IN God’s Holy book of ~ALL~ Instruction…
(James 2:14) .. What doth *IT* Profit, my brethren, though a ~man~ say he hath ~Faith~, and hath ~NOT Works~? Can ~Faith~ save him? (17).. Even SO: ~Faith~ *IF IT* Hath Not works, *IS* dead, being alone. (Shew me thy ~Faith~ without thy works, AND I Will Shew they my ~Faith~ BY: my works….
(James 1:22) Be ye ~~DOERS~~ of The Word, AND NOT ~hearers~ only… deceiving yourselves…
Our ~Works~ Must BE: OF: God; FOR: God; AND BY: God; following the Spirit that leads us into ALL Things IN Jesus Christ… OR else our works and our faith shown to be in things of the world IS ALL IN Vain… AS Jesus Said:
(John 16: 13) “When He, THE Spirit OF Truth, IS Come, He ~Will Guide~ you INTO ~ALL~ Truth: FOR He shall not speak of Himself, but whatsoever He hear that shall He speak… (14) He shall glorify Me (Jesus): FOR He Shall Receive of Mine, and shall shew IT unto you…”
How can we mere mortals of the flesh, ~Prove~ our faith through our works IF we don’t know how to follow the Spirit, OR what spirit to follow? How can we Grow IN Faith, Hope, & Charity? IN God’s Will & Way? Many are teaching that we don’t have to do anything, that Jesus does IT ALL within us and all we gotta do is enjoy the ride through this life here on earth.. Did Jesus teach this to the disciples.. Did He give them a cushy ride through their earthly life, handing them every thing that the world has to offer? Keeping them in His Grace no matter what they did? OR Did He Teach them The Way that they MUST Walk in order to maintain that Saving Grace, Remain IN God’s Favor?
(John 17:12).. Jesus Said: Speaking TO His Holy Father (v.11) “While I Was With them in the world, I ~Kept~ them IN THY NAME: (v.14) .. I Have given ~them~ *THY Word*…
(II Peter 1:2).. Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you ~~Through~~ THE Knowledge OF: God And our Saviour Jesus Christ…
Can we ~Fall~ from Grace? Many teach that once saved we are always saved, and we cannot fall because Jesus Will Not Let us Fall IS That What Jesus Said? Or Man?
(Galatians 1:6) .. Paul said: “I marvel that ye are so soon ~removed~ from HIM that called you into The Grace of Christ, unto another gospel:”
(James 1:11)…James Wrote: For the sun is no sooner risen ~With~ a burning heat, but IT Withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and ~The Grace~ of the fashion of IT perisheth: So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways… (12) blessed IS The man that endureth temptation… AND Jesus Said:
(Matthew 28:20) .. “I am with you always, even unto the end”… Folks see this part.. BUT what did He say before this? (v. 19) “Go ye therefore and ~Teach~ ALL nations, baptizing them in the Name of The Father, and OF The Son, And OF The Holy Ghost… ~Teaching~ them TO: Observe ~ALL~ things whatsoever I Have Commanded you:”
(Colossians 3:16).. Let the ~Word of Christ~ dwell In you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ~singing with Grace~ (Favor) in your hearts to the Lord…
Letting your favor of God be shown in your heart, your spirit to God and before the world, instead of the favor of the world be shown in your heart before God… BIG Difference..
And how can we do this IF we don’t use our time wisely in reading, learning, following His Commandments AS IT IS Written IN The Book OF ~ALL Instruction~ That God The Father HAD Penned down and preserved for us unto the end… AND The end IS here and man has since the late 1800’s, until now steadily changed this written word taking away from and adding to the original text to make the bible To read according to their, man’s religion, NOT God’s Commanded Guidance… and the ESV, NKJV, ASV, and many more are in this category , so beware what you read and follow… Find a KJV Bible and check IT out comparing IT with the new versions of mans reprinted publishing’s… Prove For yourself that which is right.. IF IT HAS been changed leave IT Alone…

Put God Back Where?
(Psalm 118:8) … *IT IS Better* To trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man…
(Malachi 3:6-7).. “I am THE LORD, *I* Change NOT… Even from the ~days of your fathers ye ~ARE GONE~ out Away From *MINE* (THE LORD’S) Ordinances, and have ~NOT~ kept them… =Return UNTO ME=, AND I Will return unto you,” Saith THE LORD of Hosts…
I can’t help but feel sad for the people that I see frantically writing forwards of pleads TO: “PUT God Back INTO our government, on the currency, in the schools, by restoring prayer to these places”, all the while walking along hand-in-hand with and promoting the very government that they declare IS NOT Right With God… Confusing? Shore nuff! But then where does confusion come from?
(Jeremiah 7:19) … “Do they ~provoke~ ME TO Anger?: Saith THE LORD, “Do they not Provoke ~Themselves~ TO The *Confusion* of their ~OWN~ faces”?
(I Corinthians 14:33) .. FOR GOD IS NOT: The Author OF confusion, BUT OF Peace, as in the churches of the saints….
(James 3:16) … Where envying and strife IS: There IS Confusion AND Evil work….
How much envy and jealousy, I am better than you attitudes do you find in many congregations? I’m younger so I am better, I am more talented, I am ~More Righteous~ ? TO What end?
I Think folks today have gotten so caught up in their own arrogance that they deem themselves to be so saintly as to have the power to put God where they want HIM, instead of realizing that God IS STILL THE Power IN Control, and we MUST Follow HIM, the identity of a ~true saint~, for HE Will NOT follow our way… HE SEES ALL our ways, and HE WILL Punish our adamant rebellious ways, BUT HE WILL NOT Bend TO our demands… NOR Will HE BE PUT Where we want HIM TO BE…
HE IS THE POTTER, we are the clay! Remember?
(Jeremiah 24:7) … (Jeremiah 18:8 -10) and many, many more scriptures warning the ~people~ to repent and *Return* to God ~their~ Maker… BUT you KNOW!, I don’t find one scripture on which to base the belief that ~WE, the people~, Can put God anywhere in order to form a more perfect union….. IT IS VERY Much like the Scriptures have prophesied… OF the arrogance of the people today….
(Proverbs 16:19) .. Better is it to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud…
(Hosea 6:1) … COME, Let ~~us~~ return unto The LORD: for HE hath torn, and HE ~will Heal~ us: HE hath smitten and HE Will bind us up…& 7:13-16) … WOE, unto them! For they have fled From ME: destruction unto them! They have not cried unto ME with their heart.. They assemble themselves for corn and wine… they return BUT NOT TO: THE MOST HIGH…
IF we the people who call ourselves Christian, do not possess the strength to maintain our ~~Faith~~ IN God, or cannot or will not take a firm stand for our Heavenly Father, in Jesus Name, according TO: AS IT IS WRITTEN, how on earth can we think that we can save a country, any nation by praying for IT? Will The LORD hear our prayer and heal the land IF we can’t even obey HIS First Commandment? AND THEN JESUS SAID:
(Luke 13:5)… “I Tell you, Nay: BUT! Except ye repent, ye shall ~~ALL~~ likewise perish…
(Revelation 3:19)… “AS Many AS *I* Love, I rebuke, chasten: Be Zealous therefore AND ~~Repent~~”…..
(Genesis 2:8) … “THE LORD God, planted a garden Eastward IN Eden, AND There HE ~PUT~ the man, whom HE (GOD) had formed……”
(Jeremiah 23:22-23) … “*IF* they had stood IN MY Counsel, and caused MY people TO Hear *MY* ~Words~, then they should have turned them from their ~~Evil~~ way … AM *I* A God AT Hand” saith THE LORD, “AND NOT A God Far OFF”?
*IF* The messengers had firmly delivered the Biblical Truth’s AND Not mixed so much of the world into the teachings of IT… Would we have a need to stand in the streets and cry, “Put God Back INTO Anything”? Take a lesson From The Bible AS God Had IT Penned down for us to read, learn, follow, HIS Laws, HIS Statutes, HIS Will and Way….
There IS A Popular Biblical verse printed and placed on many lawns today, declaring that people Pray for the Nation…BUT Do The very people that place these signs on their lawns, actually read & Heed the Writing on The Wall? AS IT IS Written in THE Very FIRST Words?
(II Chronicles 7:14) … **IF** MY (THE LORD God Almighty‘s or those that claim to be HIS Followers in the Name of HIS Son Jesus Christ) people, Which ARE ~Called~ BY *MY NAME*, shall (DO WHAT?) … humble themselves, and pray, AND Seek MY (THE LORD‘S) FACE AND ~~TURN~~ *FROM* their wicked ways: ~Then Will I Hear From ~~Heaven~~, AND Will Forgive ~~Their~~ sin, and will heal their land….
This IS pretty clear… THAT we the people can’t *PUT* God back where HE Never WAS… EVEN *IF* we the people we ~as Satan tried to be~ Greater than or Equal TO: our Great and Grand Creator… BUT WE, must bow before God’s Great *Heavenly* Throne in humble obedience TO HIS Will, IN HIS WAY, and repent of our ways of rebellion that IS very rampant in this day and time of seeking the pleasures that the world has to offer…..
(Malachi 3:6-7).. “I am THE LORD, *I* Change NOT… Even from the ~days of your fathers ye ~ARE GONE~ out Away From *MINE* (THE LORD’S) Ordinances, and have ~NOT~ kept them… =Return UNTO ME=, AND I Will return unto you,” Saith THE LORD of Hosts…

Called AND/OR Chosen
“Many ~ARE~ Called, BUT Few ~ARE~ Chosen”… (Matthew 22:14) (V’s 2-13) Tells of a king who invited guests to a marriage for His Son… BUT! The ones who received the invitations made light and turned away… The King said to HIS servants, “The wedding *IS* ready, but ~they~ which ~Were Bidden~ *Were NOT Worthy*”… “Go into the highways and as many as ye shall find bid to the marriage”… BUT! The one that came in without a wedding garment was cast out into outer darkness…
This sorta gives us a lesson in what the LORD God our Heavenly Father, Expects of HIS children that are invited, ~called~ into HIS Kingdom, and what happens to those which try to enter in still wearing their own filthy rags of the world.. We have something to do besides accepting the invitation.. We must put off the filthy rags of the world and walk in the path that Jesus Said, that we should walk in.. AND we gotta read the Bible, Gods Book of Instruction that HE Had penned down for us to follow and learn from, to remember HIS Commandments, and Statutes and ~~APPLY~~ them to our lives…. Jesus doesn’t forcefully take our filthy rags of the world off of us, that *IS* our place to remove them *IF* we would be washed IN The blood of the Lamb… AS Jesus SAID: IN:
(Revelation 3: 4) .. To the angel of the church in Sardis .. “Thou hast a ~few names~ in Sardis which have ~NOT~ defiled their garments: they shall walk with Me in white: ~For they ARE Worthy~~”…
*IF* we can defile our garments, then we must be aware that our walk *IS* somewhat up to our choice or decision… What we do does reflect on our eternal status… Whether we obey or disobey makes a big mark on our eternal path.
(Revelation 7:14) .. “These ~ARE~ they which came out of the great tribulation, and ~Have Washed~ their robes, and made them white in the ~Blood of The Lamb”..
Jesus doesn’t wash us, He made the way, gave the offer, that we can wash ourselves, and wash ourselves we ~Must~ in the blood of The Lamb, Jesus Christ, The Son OF God THE FATHER… IF we will spend eternity in The Father’s Kingdom, under The Rulership of Christ The King of kings and Lord of lords….
Sorta like teaching a child to wash himself! Jesus gave us the ~Blood~ Cleansing Element, IT IS up to us to climb into the tub and let *IT* flow over us freely leaving ~ALL the filth outside of the tub… letting *IT* be washed down the drain, BUT IT Must no longer be upon us as a part of our lives… Thus we ~~Prove~~ ourselves Worthy of a *Sanctified* walk with Christ… NOT BY our ~Boasting~ of our sanctification, but by our showing IT Through our life walk.
Many are strolling through this life in the belief that Jesus does the washing and all we gotta do IS play along with, and in the world and Jesus has got us and won’t let us fall to sin no matter what we do…This results in a mirrored image OF: a raised nose with eyes focusing down at the pointed end of self in the world… Because God So Loved the world that HE gave HIS Only Begotten Son…(John 3:16) BUT Read ON!
(Isaiah 1: 16-20)… “Come Now, and let us reason together,” saith The LORD: “though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow;… *IF* ye ~Be Willing~ & ~obedient~… BUT! *IF* ye refuse and rebel ye ~shall BE~ devoured with the sword: FOR The Mouth OF THE LORD hat spoken *IT*.” AND Paul reaffirmed *IT*: IN:
(Titus 1:1-3).. “According ~TO The Faith~ OF God’s elect, AND The acknowledging of the *Truth* which *IS* After Godliness: IN Hope of eternal life, *Which, God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began*, BUT! IN due times ~Manifested~ HIS Word through *Preaching*… Which *IS* committed unto me according TO: The Commandment of God, our Savior”….
SO those that are teaching the Bible IS NOT the way we have to live because IT IS The old law and now we only walk by what the Spirit tells us, may NEED to re-think their positions of calling… or being chosen… Because there are many spirits that lead, with subtle urgings, voices that whisper in your ear, thoughts sent to your fleshly minds, AND *IF* they can’t be verified by Gods Written Word, then something IS Amiss…
(I John 4:1) … “Beloved, ~Believe NOT~ every spirit, BUT try the spirits whether they be of God, …. HOW Many times DID Jesus Speak OF: “AS IT IS Written,” in reference TO: the writings of things that God The Father would have HIS children to know, remember, understand, verify……
(Ecclesiastes 1:9) … There *IS* No ~NEW~ thing under the sun…. (Romans 12:2) …
(I Peter 1:16) … ~Because~ *IT IS Written* … “Be ye holy; for I am holy”… &
(I Corinthians 1:31) .. According *AS IT IS Written* he that glorieth, let him glory IN The Lord….
(Romans 1:17) … FOR Therein IS the ~Righteousness~ OF God ~Revealed~ from faith to faith, *AS IT IS Written*, The just shall live by faith…. Where IS IT Written that we should testify of ourselves how saved we are, what glory have we because we are of the called and elected to? Judas was called & chosen, was he not? AND Jesus said:
(John 2: 24-25) … Jesus did not commit Himself, because He Knew ~ALL~ men… AND Needed NOT that any should testify ~OF man~: For He Knew what was in man…
(John 6:70)… “Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you IS A devil”?
(Acts 1:25) … Judas ~By~ transgression fell….
AND SO! Those that have need TO verbally praise themselves as the elect of Christ, fall short in glorifying The Father and The Son, but are by, a fleshly spirit putting the glory upon themselves… Whereby *IF* we truly ~ARE~ of the elect IT WILL BE Very visible in our speech, our manner of walk through this life…BECAUSE THE Glory OF God Will Be manifested in our being… NOT In fair speech of lifting up ourselves… Where IS That ~humble obedient spirit~ That The LORD states in HIS Written Word, one must possess? Which *IF* we have thoughts in our minds that we have ~Risen Above~ The Instruction that God the Father had penned down and preserved for us to follow, then we have an urgent need to ask ourselves, “By what ~spirit~ ARE we led?” Attitude of gratitude or Arrogance of pride?
(James 4:6) …God ~Resisteth The *Proud*~, BUT Giveth ~Grace ~ unto The humble… (8) .. Draw neigh TO: God AND HE Will Draw Neigh to you… (9)… Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; & purify your hearts, ye double minded… Sound like we got something to do?
Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall… (Proverbs 16:18)
Our ~Commission~ given us BY God’s Son, Jesus Christ, before He returned unto His Father in Heaven ~WAS TO~: “Go forth and teach ~ALL~ nations Baptizing them in the Name OF: The Father, And OF The Son, And OF The Holy Ghost, *Teaching them whatever things I (Jesus) have commanded you*”…(Matthew 29:19-20) NOT presenting a message of ourselves as something special, called out, chosen, we got IT you ain’t attitudes, before a lost and dying world, that sorta puts us into the category OF: Theudas, boasting himself to be ~somebody~ (Acts 5:36) & (Romans 3:27) .. States .. Where *IS* ~Boasting~ then? *IT IS Excluded*. By what law? OF works? Nay: BUT BY The Law OF Faith! So we must faithfully present ourselves, humbly and obediently preaching and teaching, THE Message OF: our Savior AND our Father‘s Kingdom!
ARE we following an ~Attitude~? OR: ARE we humbly following the path of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son? AS IN The days of Joshua!… “*Chose* ye this day, whom ye will serve” .. (Joshua 24:15)
