Dress, Attire, Body Covering?

Dows IT really matter what we wear,  what type of clothes, or attire we sport?  IT IS Necessary that we Cover our bodies?  OR can we show what we want when we want?
(Proverbs 7: 1).. “Keep MY ~WORDS~ & lay up *MY* (THE LORD‘S) Commandments ~with thee~… (v.10)..there met him a woman dressed ~IN THE ATTIRE~ of an harlot… (v.27).. Her house IS the way to hell, going down into the chambers of death….
((I Corinthians 6: 15-20)…Know ye not that your bodies are the ~members~ of *Christ*? Shall ye then ~Take~ the members of Christ and make them of an ~harlot~??? God Forbid! He that is joined to a harlot is one, the two shall be one flesh… He that is joined unto the Lord IS One spirit… he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body…WHAT? Know ye not ~THAT~ your ~body~ IS *The temple OF The Holy Ghost* ~Which IS IN you,? ~Which ye have OF God~? AND ye ~ARE NOT~ your own… (v.20)… ye ~ARE Bought~ with a ~Price~: therefore glorify God in your body & in your spirit, ~Which ARE God’s~!!!
Throughout the Bible IT IS Written THAT: IT IS A ~Shame~ and A ~Sin~ to be uncovered… having your body bare before another person or people… As the examples In (Isaiah 20:4 & 47:3)… men, women, or children. And (I Corinthians 11: 6) IT IS A Shame for a woman to be ~uncovered~… Also a woman’s hair was given to her for a covering for her head, not to be cut, colored bright red, purple, or green, streaked and spiked.. People have made an obscene display of the very bodies of clay that the LORD God molded into the soul or being that they are, by tattooing their flesh with all kinds of hideous images, and parading themselves around showing their nakedness, before mankind… The very bodies that THE LORD God breathed HIS Spirit of life into or else they would not be able to walk about and parade anything… AND IT IS The Blood of HIS Own Son, Jesus Christ that we, each individual is bought with… AND IT IS not Only To their shame, and pitiful state of abandonment of God’s Commands, that has led them into the captivity of Satan, that they have been placed in because of their rebellion… Just as the carrying away naked into captivity of the Egyptians was a ~Shame ~ to Egypt~, but they in fact are making a mockery of God’s Love… in these things…
(Ezekiel 23: 1-21) .. Describes a parable of the whoredom of the two women representing nations who courted the Babylonians.. (V.15).. Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads… & (v.18) .. So she discovered her whoredom and nakedness…. **NOTE** that this was referring to a nation that IS playing the harlot, BUT the description of the attire, dress, manner IS descriptive of a woman that dresses and acts like a harlot….
BUT, you’ll not hear many, if any, preaches make either point from the pulpit because IT IS NOT Popular to the congregational folk, to have their choice of attire or their spiritual fornication pointed out as an abomination ~Before~ God… AS IT IS WRITTEN!
AND, Yes many sit in their nakedness on Church benches with their minds and the gaze of their eyes sit upon the world and it’s way, while claiming to be Christians.. To the dismay of those who follow them…Even to The slamming of Christ Name, AND Even sadder To see IS the young parents that ARE Teaching their precious little ones that God gave them to raise and care for, to follow suit…
(I Timothy 2:9) ..that women adorn themselves in ~modest~ Apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety… (10) which becometh women ~professing godliness~…
And then you have men standing in the positions of Church leaders sporting ~Blue Devils~ on their shirts, complete with the horns… what example does this set for little ones that you are trying to teach that the Devil IS our spiritual enemy, but we embrace him because we changed the image to blue instead of red… Although neither IS correct, because Satan IS an evil spirit force, But society sees and portrays him as a grotesque being with horns and teach their children this… IT IS Sad that so many fantasies are taught in the Churches that IT IS very difficult even for one who tries hard to learn The right, to decipher the truth from the lie…Didn’t Jesus Warn of even this? (Matthew 24:24).. Yes we all stand naked before God, even with our fleshly bodies fully clothed,.. because HE Sees ~ALL~ and ~Knows~ ALL… But we are to be covered before each other.. WHY? Because IT IS God’s Will that we keep our bodies covered and sanctified AS HIS Holy Temple. (II Timothy 2:15-26) …(I Corinthians 1:2)
Pretty plain, that we can’t act like, dress like, or take part in the things of the world any where or any time, before the world *IF* we ARE God’s people, BUT IF we only claim to be IT Will Show in our actions, dress, manner… WON”T IT?
Where we must be careful not to turn one away from the Church, who enters in seeking the Lord, and HIS Saving grace, because of their dress or lack of IT.. once they have entered and made known their desire to follow Christ in The Will and Way of God the Father, IT IS our duty to show them the proper dress, BY our own examples, AND By the Written Word, SO that when they make that public display of marriage to Christ, by water Baptism, they will have their feet set on the right path…. Another reason why Church leaders MUST Show obedience of/to God’s Written Word and not walk to the beat of their own drums… AS many teach, “If you want to do IT then It’s alright, there IS ~NO LAW~ that says you can’t, and we don’t live under the law anyway, but we are led by the spirit… What spirit are many that claim this led by? When each one is walking in a different direction, then there must be ~~Many~~ spirits that are leading.. And yet the Bible states THAT: ~As Many~ as are led by ~The Spirit~ OF God they are the sons of God…(Romans 8:14)… so IF we are led by the Spirit of God, then wouldn’t we ~~ALL~~ be walking on the same path? That narrow ~Path~ of Righteousness? AS Jesus said IN: (Matthew 7:13-14).. “Enter ~ye~ IN at the strait gate”.. *Note*. Jesus did not say I’ll carry you IN, or I’ll drive you in with a stick, But He instructed ~us~ to enter in…the ~Invitation~ IS Offered, and “Because ~Strait IS the Gate & narrow IS the ~Way~.. And few there be that *Find* IT” .. & (v.24) “Whosoever *Heareth* ~these sayings OF Mine, AND *Doeth* Them”…
(Proverbs 28:9) … He that ~turneth away~ his ear from the ~Hearing~ OF The Law, ~Even his *prayer* IS an Abomination to the LORD…
(Romans 10:17) … SOOOOooo…. THEN.. *Faith* cometh BY Hearing, AND *Hearing* By THE WORD OF God…..
Many stop short with reading of: (Romans 10:9) as being ~ALL~ that one has to do to be saved… and this is true,, but there IS A Walk that The LORD gives to our command under our own obedience to The LORD God Almighty.. And that IS: We must work out our ~own~ Salvation, through the ~Obedience of Fear and trembling~ (Philippians 2:12)… In Respect OF/IN/TO God THE Father, Not rebelliously standing in the ways of the world, or blazing our own path by the adding OF fantasies and tales.. TO the Truthful teachings of God’s Holy Word OR walking about in the fads or styles of the world of fleshly display of our bodies….
In the very beginning when Adam & Eve proved disobedient to God’s Command, and stepped out in rebellion with Satan, THE LORD God, made them ~~Clothes~~ to cover their bodies with.. (Genesis 3:21)… And I find nowhere that the LORD has said IT IS Good for man or woman to walk naked or nearly, before mankind…. Especially when we enter into the Houses where we are come together to worship the LORD in spirit and truth as a group….
(Isaiah 47:4) ..Thy nakedness ~Shall~ Be uncovered, yea, thy *Shame* shall be seen, I Will take vengeance …. What perverse spirit of ~Attitude~ makes a person desire to display their bodies before mankind? Read the Bible For ALL Answers…

Gifts That ARE Given

(Revelation 11: 10)..they that dwell ~upon~ the earth shall rejoice over them (the two prophets), and ~make merry~, & send ~gifts~ one to another; Because these two ~prophets~ tormented them that dwell on the earth… BUT (v.11) .. After 3 ½ days the Spirit of ~Life~ from God entered into them, & they stood upon their feet….
Ever notice that when you speak OF, or write OF, certain things that ARE Written in the Bible for us to read, remember, and follow, many folk tend to get their noses all out of joint, complaining that you are picking on them? They don’t seem to see or understand, THAT: what you are giving them is God’s Message THAT HE Sent to ~ALL~ mankind.. THE ~Gift~ of HIS Written Book of ~ALL~ Instruction, BECAUSE, many folks have their ~OWN~ opinion of what is right and wrong, and thus fail to seek or even desire Gods Will in their lives… They are content with their own self-righteousness, their customs of men’s traditions, and they don’t want their ~Tree of Ritual~ disturbed, shaken, or challenged…. So they quickly reject anyone that rattles this world of make believe that many folk embrace and live in….
(James 1:17)… Every ~Good~ *Gift* & Every ~Perfect~ *Gift* IS From Above, AND cometh ~down~ From The Father of lights, ~With~ WHOM There IS *NO* Variableness, neither ~shadow~ of turning…
God IS THE Same Always, and HIS people Must realize this and walk in Christ in this manner… IT IS Strange to me how so many of the people that claim to BE HIS Followers, think that IT IS Acceptable to be every changing, following and inventing new traditions of man to include the old pagan customs…A NEW WAY! .. BUT!
(Malachi 3:6) States: “I am The LORD, *I* Change ~NOT!”
IF you walk in amongst these people, you can really get into a den of vipers, spitting adders, IF you fail to walk to the beat of ~Their Drums~…BUT Stand and ~Testify~ OF God’s Way, AS IT IS Written… For HIS WAY That HE Had Penned Down for us to follow IS Sound and Does NOT Change either…
(Proverbs 24:21).. “Fear thou the LORD and the king: & ~Meddle~ NOT with them that are given ~TO *Change*…”
(Proverbs 19:4) .. ~Wealth~ maketh ~MANY~ friends; but the poor IS separated from his neighbor… (v.6).. ~MANY~ Will entreat the favour of the of the prince: & ~Every man *IS* A ~Friend~ to him that ~Giveth Gifts~~…
(Proverbs 6: 34-35) . ~Jealousy Is the rage of a man: He will not regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, ~though thou givest many gifts~…
Proverbs 15:26) .. The thoughts ~OF The wicked~ ARE AN Abomination TO: THE LORD: BUT ~The Words~ Of the *PURE* ~ARE~ Pleasant words… (v.27).. He that ~IS Greedy~ of ~Gain, troubleth his own house, BUT he that hateth ~Gifts~ shall live…
How much purer can ~words~ BE than those Which are Written IN God’s BIBLE…. AND What did THE LORD Think of the Israelites, HIS Chosen people, HIS children for their false teachings & the mixing into HIS Worship of pagan idolatry? IN The giving of ~their~ gifts to HIM?
(Ezekiel 20:31) .. “For when ye ~offer~ your *Gifts*, when ye make your sons pass through the fire, ye ~Pollute~ yourselves with ~ALL~ your idols, even unto ~This~ day: … AS *I* LIVE,” Saith THE LORD God, “*I* ~WILL NOT BE~ *Enquired* OF By you.”…
Here the word ~enquired~ of Means, to seek, be sought of, called upon.
(Ezekiel 20:39)… “AS for you, O House of Israel,” thus saith THE LORD GOD, “Go ye, serve everyone his idols, & ~Hereafter~ also, *IF* ye ~Will NOT Hearken~ unto ME: BUT Pollute ye *MY HOLY NAME*, ~No More~ with your gifts and idols….
God IS warning HIS people then just as HE has written this message for a warning to be learned today, Do Not Pollute HIS Holy Name with, gifts to idols… AND YET… People of the Churches, that claim to be followers of Christ, are adamantly maintaining a pollution of God’s Name by associating IT With, the pagan customs and traditions of the world in the pageantry that IS carried out and on IN The Easter Celebrations of the worldly ways, AND The Christmas Celebrations of the world and calling IT, Jesus Birthday. Remembered, OR The Resurrection of Christ Remembered….
IF, we would be AS God Instructed that we should BE, These occasions would be remembered in a much different manner… The Gifts that are given would ~NOT~ be of the world, BUT of The things of THE LORD… AS HIS True LOVE would flourish among the folk that call themselves after HIS Son, Christ! Setting ~THE Example~ needed Before a lost and dying world, THAT HIS Message OF *TRUTH* BE Portrayed to ~ALL~…
Instead of the fabled tales that are all tied up in the seasons of these worldly celebrations.. The message of The Christ Child, His Life here among men and His Sacrifice and Resurrection would be presented to mankind IN Truth and Honesty, AS IT IS Written…
BUT, mankind has become SO entangled IN false teachings that IT Has Become Accepted AS A justified WAY of life, this fleshly life, to infiltrate ~ALL~ manner of *Make Believe* into the Truthful Teachings of The Bible..
BUT Then *IF* you back up and take a thumb ~plumbed View~ of the world around us today, What IS Society ALL Tied up IN? Even those that Claim to be Followers of Christ readily accept and embrace, ~Vampires~, walk about spirits of the dead, the magic of Harry Potter, ~Super men~ that are indestructible, able to walk up walls glide through the air…destruction & violence IS All you see and hear of… This IS what the world as a whole is entertained with today, even in the Churches… IT IS Popular… and excused as, acceptable as long as we understand that IT IS Only Make Believe… BUT What IS IT Teaching/Showing our children OF our Loyalty TO Christ? You ARE what you eat, and IF your diet IS ~Junk~ then???
Folks protest and send messages around the net, about HOW Bad The government IS Getting, Pray TO God TO Fix IT,… AND THEN… Send around a Pledge of Allegiance TO the Very Same Government which puts them in harmony with, & Testifies TO their support OF What The government IS Doing!
(Daniel 7:25).. AND ~he shall speak great words ~against~ THE MOST HIGH, & ~think~ to *Change* ~times & laws~… WE readily accuse the government of this atrocity, BUT we fail to look at our own walk in Christianity… How we seek to change times and laws and The Written Word… By trying to be buddies with the world and IT’S Governments…
So Many folk with their heads buried in the sand, Refusing TO: Read and learn What The LORD has given us to do, HOW God Wants us to walk, What IS Testified OF our Savior Jesus Christ… BUT they get ~ALL Caught UP~ IN SOME Make believe, IN Reality, False Teachings, Because like IT OR NOT, These things *DO* influence our fleshly lives, hindering our spiritual life… our spiritual walk, through this world…
(Romans 6:23)… FOR ~The Wages OF Sin *IS* death, BUT ~The *GIFT* of God IS eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord…
But we must accept that *GIFT*, we can’t claim This gift and embrace the world at the same time… We must Prove our walk with Christ, Before the world and THE Father…
(I Corinthians 1:7).. So that ye come behind in no gift, waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…
(Acts 2:38)… Peter said: “*Repent*, AND Be Baptized, everyone of you in the Name of Jesus Christ, ~For~ the remission of sins, AND ye shall receive the *Gift* of the Holy Ghost…
We don’t receive this *Gift* through lip service in pagan teachings, only through true repentance, followed BY Faithful Obedience, IN Christ, not of the world...
(Acts 8:20) Again Peter Said: “Thy money perish with thee, *BECAUSE* thou hast ~thought~ that the *GIFT* of God may be purchased with money”…
When we run out and ~Buy~ gifts of a pagan nature, wrap them in fancy packaging with elaborate bows, and gather around a tree decorated with lights and pass them out to ~Each Other~ does IT Show our LOVE of Christ? That IS The Claim that we do IT for Christ! BUT ~BY~ What *spirit* are we led? .. Obligation? We gotta buy something for them cause they are gonna buy something for us. Envy? We want to give something better than we get or we want to get something better than we give? OR, we want the ~Praise~ for the giving? Covetousness?
(Romans 8: 5) .. They that ~ARE AFTER~ the flesh do mind the things of the flesh, BUT They that ~ARE AFTER~ The Spirit, do mind the things of the Spirit. (v.6) .. TO BE Carnally minded *IS* death, BUT ~TO BE~ Spiritually minded *IS* life & peace. (7) .. BECAUSE, ~The carnal mind~ *IS* enmity against God…
*IF* we are to serve THE LORD God our Heavenly Father, BE Led By The Holy Spirit/Ghost, Then our ~Gifts~ MUST BE OF/IN/ BY/ FOR The *LOVE* OF Jesus Christ, IN Truth and Honest Testimony, Rising Above, AND untangled or unfettered by customs of a lost and dying world…

Skin Deep Beauty

“Beauty’s only skin deep, Ugly to the bone, Beauty fades away, BUT, Ugly holds It’s Own!” An old saying that I have heard all of my life, BUT reflecting on it as associated with the world around us ~This Day~ beings attention to the Bible Truth’s, AS IT IS Written… AS Jesus Said:
(Matthew 23:27) ..~WOE~ unto ye scribes and Pharisees, ~hypocrites!.. For ye are like unto whited sepulchers which indeed ~Appear~ beautiful ~Outward~ ,, but inside are ~FULL~ of dead men’s bones, and uncleanness… (28)… Even SOOOO ye ~ALSO~ Outwardly Appear .Righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity….
(II Timothy 2:22).. “Flee ~from~ youthful ~lusts~; But, follow ~Righteousness~, *Faith, Charity, Peace*, ~WITH~ them that Call on the Lord ~out of A pure *Heart*~
There Seems to be a frantic obsession with ~youth~, ~beauty~, ~body shape,~ toning here and tanning there, painting and remaking the bodies That our *Potter*, gave us to begin with…This IS echoed even in the Sanctuary Walls of meetings where we are supposed to be Assembled together to worship and praise God.…. “YOU look SOOOO Goood, who did your hair, where did you git that tattoo, what gym do you attend, ect.”
Time after time I hear folks say, “I ~Pray~ for the LORD to make me into what HE wants me to be.” BUT those same folks, arise and head out to the store to buy hair color, make-up, ~sexy cloths~, join the gym, visit the ~tattoo~ parlors, and even the ~plastic surgeons~…
IS this showing that we ~really want~ God to ~Make~ us into what HE wants us to be, OR IS IT Proving that we want to be what ~WE~ want to be… Vain & Self-centered, thinking only of superficial beauty…remaking over what God gave us, to suit ourselves. putting God in the rear of our thoughts, hearts, minds, ~intentions~?
(I Timothy 4:11-12) …. “These ~things~ Command & Teach, .. Let No Man despise thy youth; BUT! Be thou an example ~OF~ Believers, IN Word, IN Conversation, IN Charity, IN spirit, IN faith, IN ~Purity~, giving attendance TO: reading, exhortation, to doctrine…”
I see parents take beautiful children that God gave them, and paint them up like little models of Jezebel, and run out and put them in beauty contest… dressing them scantily in strips of clothing, called bikini’s, letting them parade around, before the perverts and pedophiles of this world of Satan, and expect them to be safe. Teaching them to gyrate their little bodies in the styles of porn dancers, alluring, and alluding to sultry sexual gestures, calling IT hot, looking good.. Indulging them completely in the ways of a ~lost & dying~ world… AND YET expecting them to reach adulthood unfettered by the filth and debauchery that the world and ~ALL~ Nations of IT Promote and take part in…
(Revelations 2:20) …~Unto The Church~~… “Thou sufferest (allow) ~that woman~ Jezebel, which calleth ~herself~ a prophetess, TO teach and TO seduce *MY* servants TO, commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.”
What impression IS made by a Sunday School Teacher or a teacher of the ~Youth~ that dresses scantily, spaghetti strap tops, halters, mini skirts, or shorts, tattooed all over, dyed and streaked hair, fake lashes, and nails? Beauty before and of the world filled with dead men’s bones? How do these teachers ~really~ stand before the LORD, they claim to be saved, they were Baptized, the Church allows them, yea, welcomes their teaching, BUT what ARE they teaching our ~youth~? They claim, as did Jezebel to be a teacher of God’s Word, But in actions, dress, mannerisms, they show a different testimony…. (v.23).. God States, “I Will Kill her children with death.”
Now, we teach, that Jesus Loves us, and that He forgives all our sin, BUT IF we continue to walk in the sin that He has forgiven, where are we walking? READ: (v.21)… I ~Gave~ her, (Jezebel) ~Space~ TO Repent of her fornication, BUT she repented not…
(Romans 9:8) … “They which are the children of ~the flesh~, these are not the children of God.”
This is referring TO those who were fleshly descended in Israel… But applies the same meaning, IF we walk after the flesh then the flesh IS our master….
(Matthew 6:24)… “No man, can serve ~two~ masters.”
(Romans 8:5) …For they that walk after the flesh ~Do Mind~ the things of the ~Flesh; BUT, that that ~ARE~ After The Spirit, the ~things that ~ARE of The Spirit..
When these same children do reach adulthood, and become alcoholics, dope addicts, having no morals, free sex addicts, because of the peer pressure to be fast, sexy, and cool, the best of the desired… ending up in trouble, these same parents scratch their heads and wonder… stating, “I ~Tried~ to raise my child right, *I* took them to Church & Sunday School, I gave them all the opportunities of this life that A person can have, and they just didn’t appreciate IT…” “The old Devil got into them.” IS this really a truthful statement ~OR~ did you hand your child over to the Devil by leading him/her down the wide spacious path of destruction by being all caught up in the ways of the world? AND/OR IS IT that the parents of today were taught to leave their morals behind and chase after their ~ALL About ME~ dreams in the world of Satan…??
(I Corinthians 6:17).. “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, ~Touch NOT~ The unclean thing…” IT does not read that you can walk in & with the unclean thing and Jesus wipes your sin away, BUT IT States, “Do NOT Touch” & *I* The Father God, WILL Receive you and Will Be A Father to you, Saith the LORD Almighty….
Yes, the children of today are given every opportunity that ~The World~ has to offer, Problem IS, ~The World~ belongs to Satan the Devil… What the parents are failing to do IS give their children the ~Opportunity~ TO: Meet the *REAL*, Lord Jesus Christ, and HIS Father, by the guidance of The Holy Spirit… BECAUSE!
The Holy Spirit does not lead us into ~tattoo parlors~, tell us that IT IS Good, ~to show our bodies to the world, paint ourselves, color our hair, dance in vulgar gyrating motions before mankind, BUT, The Holy Ghost, The Comforter, ~Testifies~ of Christ, The Son of God…(John 15:26).. SO The Comforter will lead us in God’s Way, BUT we ~MUST~ Follow.
AND! IF we were following the Son, IN Gods Will & Way, we would have been more careful about what we taught our children… how we dressed them, before the world, even to attend Church Services…. What we allowed them to be involved in…
WE ~MUST~ Teach our children in the days of their youth, TO: Respect the temples of their bodies, giving Respect Before God, by our actions, our dress, our speech…AND our OWN Actions MUST Be Chaste: AS IT IS Written IN:
(Titus 2:4-6) … Teach young women TO BE sober, to love their husbands, their children, TO BE discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their husbands, that The Word of God be ~NOT~ blasphemed, Young men, likewise (also), exhort to be sober minded… How many divorces, hurt and damaged children, would be avoided, IF folks lived by God’s Written Book of ~ALL~ Instruction, AND Taught IT TO Their children!??!
(Ecclesiastes 12:1) .. “Remember *NOW* thy ~Creator~ in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw…”
(Proverbs 22:6) Train up a child in the way he ~Should~ go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it…
BUT, IF we involve our children in the ways of the world, deeply rooting them in the values OR lack of them that the world follows, we are doing our children a grave injustice, BECAUSE, that IS the path that they will remain on, claiming that they can ~PUT~ Jesus in what they do and that makes IT Right… BUT Then that IS the attitude of many parents these days also, declaring, “IF IT looks good and seems like fun, and appears harmless to out fleshly safety, surely God won’t mind us doing IT and IF ~we~ add a Bible verse to IT, then that makes IT Right, with God and HE Steps Right in and guides us in our efforts to follow the world….and ALL WILL BE WELL… After ~ALL~ our heart IS IN The Right place!… IS IT?
(I Samuel 2:3) …. “Let ~NOT~ arrogancy come out of your mouth: FOR ~THE LORD~ IS A GOD OF Knowledge, AND BY HIM ~Actions~ ARE Weighed..”
(Matthew 15: 18-19) JEUS Said: “Those things which ~proceed~ OUT of the mouth, come forth ~From~ the heart; AND they ~Defile~ the man.. FOR Out of ~the heart~ proceed .. Evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: ~These ARE The Things~ which defile a man…” AND Jesus Also Said:
SOOOOoooo…. Basically, as Flip Wilson used to say, “What you see IS what you git”… *IF* our actions, ARE NOT a Visible Testimony of our Walk with God, Then, we can understand that they came forth from our heart and we need to go to the ~Heart Doctor~ Jehovah God The Father, in repentant prayer by the Holy Ghost, IN the NAME Of God’s Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ…. Doing a through search of the Written Scriptures for God’s Commands of what we are doing in our fleshly life that turns us away from the spiritually eternal life.. AND Put away the things that are contrary TO The Teachings of our Maker, THE Potter, Because we are only mere lumps of clay, incapable of molding ourselves into anything except to destructive ways… BY chasing our tails in the ways of the world seeking to be beautiful by IT’S Standards…. Because, IT IS Said, “Home IS where the Heart IS,” and IF our hearts are all caught up in the world, then it will show in our walk, our speech, our actions…
(I Peter 3: 2-3).. They behold your ~chaste conversation, coupled with fear, let *IT NOT* Be that outward adorning plaiting the hair, wearing of gold, putting on of apparel but as the women of ~OLD~ adorned themselves…

A New Bible OR An Old Bible

Going back into a search of: THE NEWLY Translated Bibles that so many folk are using, I find, and can understand WHY, so much confusion is in this world.. led BY: Satan the Devil.. Let me give a small testimony of personal experience…
I was raised in the Baptist faith.. During my life and circumstances that came into it, I have attended several other denominations.. BUT, where I held a strong belief IN God, I grew disillusioned and dropped out of attending any Church.. I grew further from the LORD BY ~not~ continuing to keep my fleshly mind refreshed in HIS Written Word, for I had put IT up on a shelf also… AND when we prove before God’s Eyes that we don’t have enough respectful fear of HIM & for HIS Ways, to seek HIS Written Word for the guidance that HE Gave IT To us for, we prove ourselves to reject the Gospel of HIS Son Because that IS where IT IS Written… AND Jesus Said:
(John 15:6) … “IF a man *abide* (as in: dwell in, stay with) *IF* a man ~Abide NOT IN~ Me (Jesus Christ) he IS cast forth as a branch, and IS withered; and ~~men~~ gather them and cast them into the fire and they are burned…” (If we don’t stay built up in our fleshly minds, keep out eyes and thoughts on the Lord and His Will & Way, we fall to & are caught up in the ways of mankind and into destruction with the devil and his followers in the ways of the world…) AND God will not hold us IF we want to go, IF we look at the world and seek to follow IT.. Desire to blaze a ~New~ path in ~our way~… AND SO!
I set out as many folk, even those who regularly attend Church services do, to find my ~own~ way in this life.. Which led to seeking the paths of the worldly ways… A longing in me, to see my mother and family and to find out the things of the ~unknown~ led me to find and use a Ouija Board, IT IS Sold as a game for children to play with, so many don’t take the effects of IT seriously… BUT, IT can and does lead to the ~spirits~ of destruction… I did as so many are doing today, I sought the spirits of those passed from this life…falling into a belief that man’s spirit to walk about where he pleases after the breath of life has left the fleshly body and it has returned is free walk about after it leaves this fleshly body, and returns to the dust.. (Ecclesiastes 12:7).. But it isn’t and it doesn’t, But once The LORD has taken back the spirit that HE puts into our fleshly bodies, then our eternity IS sealed, according to the way we have lived this life here in the flesh… IF I had sought the answers in God’s Written Word I would not have fallen under the influence of the devil, but I wanted to find out for myself… AND I DID, I found the wrath of God, HE blinded my eyes so that when I became aware, by the leading of HIS Spirit, that I was wrong, I could not seek the guidance of HIS Written Word with a fleshly eye, being cast into darkness, because I had not consciously maintained a walk in Christ by the principles of God’s Written Word AND Then every Bible that I opened was blank… full of empty pages.. NOW I can understand the verse written in:
(Romans 1:28)… as they did not like to retain God in ~their knowledge~ God gave them over to a reprobate mind… & (Titus 1:16) .. I professed God, that I knew HIM, but I did not Obey HIS Written Word… AND since I did not obey, Then, HE did not hold me in HIS Son Jesus Christ…
(Acts )… as Saul, thought that he was right in his walk in life of persecuting the Christians.. When he met Jesus, his eyes were blinded…
(Acts 5:32).. So IS Also The Holy Ghost, Whom God hath ~given~ to them that *Obey* HIM.. BUT! The Holy Ghost Will Not remain with those who Disobey The Father…
(I John 4:24)… Let that therefore ~ABIDE~ in you, which ye have heard form the beginning.. IF ~that~ which you have heard form the beginning shall.. *Remain*, in you, ye shall ~Continue~ IN the Son, and In The Father… SO this should let us see and know that the opposite of Abide in or Remain IN: *IS* To seek something ~NEW~ have wandering eyes, blaze new paths…
(I John 5:4-8) .. *New* International Version of the Bible..
4 - for everyone born of God
Compare TO: King James Version… The Old Bible
(I John 5: 4-8)… (4) - FOR ~whatsoever~ IS born of God, overcometh the world: and this IS the Victory that Overcometh the world, even our faith…
(5) .. Who IS he that overcometh the world the world, BUT he that believeth that Jesus IS the Son of God..
(6).. This IS He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ: Not by water only, but by water and blood.. AND IT IS The Spirit that beareth witness, ~Because The Spirit IS Truth…
(7).. For there ~ARE~ *THREE* that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: ~AND~ These *Three* ARE ONE…
(8)… And there Are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood, and these three agree in one….
Maybe this is the reason so many are getting confused about the ~Teaching~ OF The Father, The Son, & The Holy Ghost as being ONE.. Three Distinct Entities, Working Together IN ONE Numerical Unit, AS Titled under the Title OF God… God The Father Being The Godhead, as the one Who holds sway over ~ALL~ things, Being Omnipotent…The Ruler OF ~ALL~…
Because man has completely taken out the verse that Reads of The Three AS One, In the -NIV Bible.. The New World Translation of the Bible and many others…
The claim for omitting this particular verse of scripture from the NIV and other *NEW* translations IS That: William Tyndale & John Wycliffe found this to be a false teaching of the Church then… and wanted to free the people of false teachings and give them the option to learn the Bible for themselves, rather than to have it given to them by the clergy then…
BUT: my search of History shows that: Both William Tyndale & John Wycliffe both included this scripture in their writings, AND With their Writings ~Formed~ the foundation for The writings of The King James Version of the Bible of 1611...
I am ~NOT~ a scholar, I am NOT even a person of high education, but a simple person.. SOOOoo.. I don’t claim to be an ~Authority~ on anything.. But I Do strive to be humbly obedient unto God’s Will & Way… AND I Believe, that the LORD God had The Bible printed for us to ~use~ as a guide based upon several of the Written Scriptures..
(Deuteronomy 28:58) .. “IF thou wilt not ~observe~ to do all the Words of The Law that ~ARE Written~ in this *Book*, that thou mayest ~fear~ This Glorious & Fearful Name, THE LORD THY GOD; … (Deut.30:10) (Acts 7:42) (Galatians 3:10) (Hebrews 10:7)
(II Timothy 3:16).. ~ALL~ Instruction IS Given ~BY~ Inspiration of God… ( I don’t ~Believe~ that God gives ~NEW~ inspirational instruction, BUT That HE RE-Enforces The OLD & Already Established Laws & Statutes that HE gave from the: Beginning.. By the Guidance of The Holy Spirit…
(Romans 15:4)..For ~whatsoever things~ WERE *Written* aforetime, *WERE* ~Written~ *FOR* our ~Learning~, *THAT* we through ~patience~ & ~Comfort~ of the *Scriptures* Might Have Hope… (When man sets out to forge a *New* path, by changing THE *OLD* teachings, IT destroys ~Hope~ and comfort of the scriptures, because IT brings forth confusion and gives sway to the ~lies~ of Satan the Devil…) (Titus 1:9 & 2:10)
(Ephesians 4:12-14)..for the perfecting OF the saints, till we all come in ~Unity~ of ~faith and In the Knowledge of The Son of God that ~we~ be no more tossed to and fro, & carried about with ~every *wind of doctrine*…(IF we use different Bible Translations, IT IS AS Bad as following *Every wind of doctrine* Because: Most all ~NEW Bibles~ were printed, to omit or to include the teachings of mans choice of belief, NOT God’s Direction… For instance: The NIV Bible only came to be printed in: The year ~1983~ AND Most of the: *NEW* Bibles were born into print IN the very late 1800’s or 1900... Laying claim to a ~NEW sight~ into the original manuscripts.. And making IT easier to read… *IF* The holy Ghost IS doing the driving as IS the way IT should Be and not us trying to take over the controls, then we can read and understand the OLD Scriptures very well… For IT IS The Father That Reveals, by The Holy Ghost not man. (I Corinthians 2:10)
(I Timothy 4:1) ..NOW ~THE SPIRIT~ speaketh expressly that, ~In the *Latter* Times some shall ~depart~ From The Faith, giving heed to: ~Seducing spirits & *Doctrines of devils*…
AND! We are living ~IN~ The *Latter Times* and ~ALL ~ The New Bibles have been printed IN the very latter times… (Timothy 4:16 & 6:3) (Colossians 2:22).. And changed words, making the verses to have different meanings, taken words out, & put words in.
Scholars who look at these things with an eye of disinterest toward a certain ~Belief ~ of, or way of mans religion, conclude that the King James Version; IS The closest to Translation OF The Original Manuscripts that have been found by men…
AND I have found that anything with *NEW* attached to *IT* has attempted *TO* ~CHANGE~ the *OLD*.. Do away with the antiquated way of thinking and ~Blaze New Trails~… (Ecclesiastes 3:14) (Deuteronomy 4:2)
The Problem with THIS Thinking *IS*: *IF*, we serve THE LIVING God, WELL; HE IS Unchanging, HE does not Change because the days are ~Modern~ and the Times ARE ~New~… Mankind does though! A Scripture of: OLD IS so like the folk of this day… BUT Then MUCH of the Old Testament Does foreshadow or reflect the ways of folk today, doesn’t *IT*?
(Jeremiah 6:16).. THUS SAITH, THE LORD: “Stand ye ~in the ways~, AND See, And ~ASK~ For *The Old Paths*, ~Where *IS* The *Good* Way, AND walk therein~… AND ye ~shall find rest for your souls~..” BUT, they said, “we Will NOT walk therein”…
Much like today, when folks say, IT IS Foolish, to be so fanatic about serving the LORD, so cut and dried about what should be done, about not having a little fun in the Church, singing happy birthday/anniversary to the people in honor of their fleshly birthdays… when IT makes folk feel good about themselves…. Ever stop and think, maybe IT Isn’t that folk aren’t against the people, or being judgmental of the people, but of the disobedience shown, instead of showing an Obedient walk unto The LORD?.. Ever really search God’s Written Word TO see IF this IS pleasing unto HIM? After ~ALL~ IT Ain’t people that we must please, BUT God that we must prove our walk before…. AND There we MUST go, Back again TO: Gods Written Book of Instruction That HE gave us to follow IN order TO Please HIM...

Brain-Washing

“I Refuse to allow ~my child~ to be ~Brain-washed~ by teaching them the things that are written in *A BOOK*” … “IT IS Better to let a child learn on their own, than to ~Brain-wash~ them by teaching them a religion.” HOW Many times have you heard these two statements made by well-meaning folk? Good people? Even Church going folk?
Many people stand adamant that *IF* you teach a child from ~What IS Written IN The Bible,~ you are not allowing them their deserved ~freedom~ in this life TO Choose For Themselves, what they will or want to believe… It IS Contended that this IS freedom to believe as one desires…
THE Freedom That This Great Nation, ~fights~ TO Preserve… AS ~we the people~ Heap Praise on this Nation for this ~Freedom~ we fail TO See, just where our *REAL Freedom* lies… Because we as busy as beavers, building a dam, rallying around the flag pole… NOT realizing that IT IS One thing TO Support and Give The Proper Respect TO: the country in which one IS born or In which one lives…. &&& IT IS Quite another to lift that country up before the world AS The Maker of The Freedom of men…
JUST AS IT IS One thing to fight against our being ~Brain-washed~ BY Believing in The Bible AS: The Written Word of God, AND Walking head long into a total ~Brain-washing~ OF THE WORLD Led By Satan the Devil….
AND we fail to realize that by not equipping our children with the spiritual defense of sound learning of God’s Commands and Statutes, we leave them totally defenseless to the evil spirits, demons that roam about the this earth… Which we don’t believe in, BUT we will seek after the spirit of the dead…. Which IS one and the same….
For example! WE Will buy our children: transformers that go about changing into destructive forces, that kill and destroy property and allow to the be totally engrossed with these actions… WE buy our children toy soldiers, guns, of all sorts, from water guns to pellet guns, and turn them loose with them to do as they please… Excusing this as, *GOOD* training in defense.. IT teaches them to fight off ~The Enemy~!
BUT, we deny them the understanding of the ~Sword~ of The Spirit, BY NOT Introducing them TO The True Word OF God…
(Ephesians 6:17)… “Take THE ~Helmet OF Salvation~ AND THE Sword OF The Spirit, Which IS THE Word of God”….
(Hebrews 4:12)… FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS Quick and powerful and ~Sharper~ than ANY Two-edged Sword… piercing even to the dividing asunder of: the soul and the spirit….
(think about this seriously, IT IS By the Written Word of God, by our reading, studying, learning, accepting, and believing IT, that our ~spirit~, IS Separated from the flesh which IS man’s soul..
Suicide bombers are not developed in adulthood, but are trained from childhood… TO ~kill the enemy~ and we frown greatly on this here in this country…In every country the children are taught: that their country IS The Greatest…. Better than any other…
BUT are we really any different?
We teach, NO, we drill into their little minds, Pride: To stand ~Proud~ at attention, with their tiny hands over their hearts, and pledge and salute the flag of a nation. Lifting up this country as being the best… Because IT ~Allows~ us to worship as ~~WE~~ please… IT Gives us opportunities to get rich, to live the ~GOOD~ Life… While talking before them that ~~ALL~~ the other nations are inferior.. They treat their people badly, they are not free ~OVER There~… to live the good life…ALL the other countries are our enemy, and we condition their minds to want to ~Kill The enemy~` .. BUT we don’t teach them or show them, how many children, here in this nation, are living in the same squalor that we are condemning other countries for..
(James 4:6) God resisteth ~The Proud~, BUT giveth grace to the humble…
I AM NOT putting this country down or slandering IT, BUT What I AM Saying IS That this country IS Just A Country, A Nation of this earth…. JUST AS ALL THE Other Nations… JUST AS ~~ALL~~ men of the human race ARE sinners… Weak in the flesh… ALL Countries are weak in the flesh, in the ways of their leader, Satan…. AND ~~ALL~~ Countries of this earth ARE Under The Rule of The Dragon….
NOW! ALL This does IS show that we parents, teachers, peoples of all walks of life, whether Christian or Non-Christian ~ARE~ Guilty OF: ~Brain-washing~ our children in some way, or fashion… From the cradle we teach them something, whether IT IS Rebellion of Christ OR OF the earthly system of things, OR whether IT IS Obedience in ~Respect~ of THE Ruling Power, we DO teach them… BUT… What we ~Teach~ them could and does mean either, their destruction eternally or just the destruction of their fleshly life…
What ~we~ must do IS Learn and Decide… What we, as parents, Teach the Precious Little Children. Because First *IT *IS* our responsibility TO:
(Proverbs Train up a child in the way that he must go…
We MUST Also Recognize THAT: This Country, nor any other Country did not give us, our children, ~neither~ did we bring them into this world ~all~ by ourselves as many believe, BUT There IS A HIGHER POWER, that gave us this blessing…
IT WAS SET AND ESTABLISHED Many, many years ago, when God Told The very first couple to Go Forth and multiply and fill the earth…. (Genesis 1:22) & *NOTE* This command was given ~Before~ the fall of man to the sin of ~Disobedience~….
SOOOOOOoooo… no matter what country we try to give credit to for our being here today… we fall short… BECAUSE IT WAS NOT Mankind, nor Nation that brought us forth, BUT IT WAS: God ALMIGHTY….
AND THE Mighty Hand OF God IS Still IN Control Here Today… IT IS Still Commanded of us TO ~~OBEY~~ The Will OF God and TO Walk IN HIS WAY….
(Mark 12: 31-33)…..Thou Shalt ~LOVE~ THE LORD thy God ~With~ ALL thy ~heart, soul, (fleshly being) ~ AND With ~ALL they Mind~ (thought center).. AND With ALL thy Strength… AND thy neighbor as thyself…. This don’t leave a lot of in fact any room for love of self or walking in our own way to the beat of our own thoughts in the ways of the world led by Satan….
THIS IS NOT ~~Brain-washing~~ BUT: *Obedience* and this obedience IS Unto Life eternal OR disobedience UNTO: eternal death…
(Deuteronomy 30:19)… GOD SAID: “I Call Heaven and earth TO Record this day against you, that I Have Set Before you life and death, blessing and curs: Therefore ~Choose~ life that ~~BOTH~ thou and thy seed (children) MAY Live… (v.20) That thou mayest ~Love THE LORD~ thy ~God~ *Obey* HIS Voice AND cleave unto HIM FOR HE IS Life….
What do you want for your precious child? Leave him alone and let him/her grow in the world to their own belief or brain-washing of loyalty to a nation or that they learn of their ~~TRUE MAKER~~, which brought them into this world, Which Protects and guides them through this world, and According TO HIS Promise WILL Hold Them after the breath of life Which HE Gave to begin with, IS taken Back from their bodies, and ours…
We, ourselves, Must First ~Believe~ & ~Obey~ in order to teach.. AND IN Order to Teach we must First ~~Learn~~! AND TO LEARN: WE Must first humbly ~Pray~ For ~~Guidance~~, submitting ourselves to the Higher Power….
(James 4:7) … Submit yourselves therefore TO: God, Resist the Devil… (8) Draw Nigh TO God, AND HE Will Draw neigh to you….
(Genesis 2:7) The LORD God formed man OF the dust of the ground, AND Breathed Into his nostrils ~The Breath Of Life~ ; & man ~Became~ A ~ living *soul*… (Not to have a living soul that rises and roams the earth after God has taken the breath of life back…)
(Ecclesiastes 12:7)… Then Shall the ~dust~ ~~Return~~ to the earth as IT was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave IT…

(Psalm 119-1-3)..Blessed ARE the undefiled in the way, (the world) .. ~who~ walk In the law of the LORD, blessed Are they that ~Keep~ *HIS* Testimonies, that seek HIM With the ~Whole heart~… They Also Do ~NO~ iniquity: they walk in HIS Ways……

IN God We Trust!

Folks are always passing petitions TO: Keep THE Words, “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the coinage, currency, tags, pledges, ALL OF Which ARE: for Caesar & By Caesar, who rules in the world which IS fueled and fed BY the ~dragon~, that old serpent, Satan The Devil…
IT IS Written, but folks do not want to accept IT, because they want a fleshly showing of loyalty to both. A way of straddling the fence, proving ~neither~ hot nor cold toward either but embracing both, a position of wading in the mire of destruction while making a showing of standing for Christ…
Making a testimony of God.. Without changing their own ways, or walking as Jesus said that the children of God should…
(II Corinthians 6:17) Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, touch ~NOT~ the unclean thing… Notice IT IS NOT Written that we are to try and clean up the unclean thing, by placing IN GOD WE TRUST on IT… BUT we are TO Be separate from IT…. IT IS What IT IS, IT Was IN The Beginning, and IT will be in the end when God’s Wrathful Destruction comes upon IT and all those attached to IT…
(Revelation 3:15) .. Jesus SAID: “ I ~KNOW~ thy ~works~, that thou art neither hot nor cold..
Some claim that this is a testimony of, for, & TO THE LORD… before the world and if used may draw those of a lost and dying world to come to ~Know~ God….
Others claim that this IS: Keeping God IN something that HE has never been IN… The ways of the world! When Jesus was tempted by the devil, Satan offered Him ALL the kingdoms of the earth… Which should tell us that Satan IS the ruler of the earthly kingdoms…
(Matthew 4:8-10) AND (Revelations 18: 3-4)… FOR *ALL* The Nations, have drunk of the wrath of her fornication… Come out of her, ~MY people~, that ye be ~NOT Partakers~ OF her sins and that ye receive NOT of her plagues… showing the fall of ALL the nations of the world…
IT IS NOT Written that we are to try and change the world by writing the NAME OF God all over the things that belong to Caesar, BUT we are to Publish the Good news OF God’s Kingdom to ALL that ALL may be saved out of a lost and dying world…(Matthew 24:1) .. NOT Joined to IT..
God’s Kingdom, as Jesus taught IS NOT OF THIS World….(John 18: 36) Satan was cast out of the heavens to rule where? (Luke 10: 18) (John 14:30)… Jesus Said: “The ~prince~ OF: ~this world~ cometh and hath nothing to do with Me…”
(Revelation 12:12) … “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea, FOR ~The Devil~ *IS* come down unto you, ~having Great Wrath~ Because he ~Knoweth~ that he hath but a short time…”
(II Corinthians 4:4).. In whom ~the god~ of this world hath blinded their eyes, so that they believe NOT, lest the ~Light~ of the glorious Gospel of Christ Who IS the Image of God would shine unto them…
(Romans 12:2) … we are not to be conformed to the world, BUT transformed by the renewing of our minds, TO ~PROVE~ What IS THAT Good AND Acceptable AND PERFECT ~~WILL~~ OF God… not by the painting of our bodies, or placing the Name of God into or on the things that belong to and are OF the world….
SOOOOoooo… WHAT are we to do?
Well, WHAT DID God Tell HIS children TO Do WHEN HE GAVE them HIS Commandments and Statutes, as HE led them out of Egypt? Read Carefully
(Deuteronomy 6:1-9)…Fear the LORD AND KEEP ~ALL~ HIS Statutes & Commandments.. .. AND teach them diligently unto thy children, talk about them (ALL THE TIME) .. Bind them for a sign upon thy hand and as frontlets between thine eyes, write them upon the doorpost of thy house and upon thy gates…
Notice how this is written… God did not tell us to write them upon the post of Caesar’s Palace, nor on the goods of exchange, not in the world at all, BUT HE SAID, upon ~your~, making IT personal…
AND Notice ALSO that God did not say cut them into nor paint them upon your skin… BUT carry them for a sign upon your hand, HOLD Them, as IN Holding the Bible IN your hand, and as frontlets between your eyes, AS IN keeping your gaze upon them and not the ways of the world….
FOR IT IS ONE OF HIS Commands THAT we ARE NOT TO::
(Leviticus 19:28) .. Ye ~Shall NOT Make -ANY- Marks cuttings in your flesh for the dead, NOR Print any marks upon ~~~YOU~~~… I am THE LORD….
This IS pretty clearly written to mean that a tattoo IS a cutting, a printing of a mark upon the skin AND God Said, DO NOT DO IT!
Folks don’t seem to realize that God Exacts our ~~obedience~~ TO HIS Words, HIS Commands.. And many try to change What IS Written to suit themselves, and claim that by tattooing their skin with message’s that attest to God’s Kingdom or HIS Love, or our faith in God, IS our testimony of God… Yes IT IS our testimony, BUT NOT OF God, Rather OF: our ~Rebellion~, of our rebelliousness toward HIS Statutes… Because God said, thou shalt ~NOT~ and we try to excuse our doing as being favorable toward God, when in Fact IT IS OF Satan… Since he IS the adversary of our Lord Jesus Christ…
SO It doesn’t matter what we have printed on our skin, whether IT BE: “IN GOD WE TRUST” OR I LOVE JESUS”, “The Cross”, or a fleshly tribute to our loved one that God saw fit to take from this earth, IT IS IN Rebellion of God’s Command and thus IT IS NOT IN Accordance with God’s Way… AS IT IS Written…..
There are those that claim Jesus guides our conscious and won’t let us do anything that IS displeasing to His Father, AND Jesus made the path through this life that we are to follow… Where were His ~tattoos~? What did Jesus tell us to do? Jesus SAID:
(John 4:24) … “God IS A Spirit: AND they that ~Worship~ HIM MUST Worship HIM IN Spirit AND IN TRUTH…”
Our testimony of our ~Faith~, of God’s Love, can’t be written on or painted into our flesh, these fleshly bodies die, rot away go back to the dust from which they came… (Ecclesiastes 12:7)
But our faith must be seen in our spirit, show forth in our walk, be proven by our obedience, testified of by our works in the examples that we set before mankind…
(James 2:17-18) .. Faith, IF IT Hath NOT Works IS Dead… being alone.. Shew me thy faith without works, and I Will show thee my ~Faith~ BY my Works…
IT truly isn’t a show of ones faith to prove the works of disobedience to God’s Commanded Word… BUT Rather IT Testifies of ones ~faith~ BY proving *Obedient* TO: God’s Command, AS IT IS Written… This IS A Work of Faith, walking according to God’s Way, Following the path of righteousness that HIS Son, Jesus Christ laid down for us to follow… NOT Trying to blaze ~our own trail~ through this life with our new inventions of mankind’s old customs….
Sunday School, AND Vacation Bible School Teachers, that pass out stick on tattoos, or do face paintings on the little ones are in Fact promoting an act that the Bible Condemns, thus offering the ways of the world to the little children that they are responsible for teaching God’s Word, HIS Commandments, HIS Statutes IN Truth & Honesty…. These little ones trust us, should we not prove ourselves worthy of that trust?
Please read these things in The Bible God’s Book of ALL Instruction for yourself, Before jumping to the conclusion that it is not true, because IT IS Written TO BE Judgmental of others… Remember IF we would judge ourselves? … (I Corinthians 28: & 31) .. Let a man examine himself … and *IF* we would judge ourselves we would not be judged… BY What guideline are we to judge ourselves? God Gave US A Guide, When HE HAD Written and ~Preserved~ The Book, THE Bible, WE must learn to use IT NOW… For ~ALL~ Decisions, not take another person’s word for whether something IS Right or Wrong…

Children Learn By what They Live

Why IS IT That parents will let their children watch and get grossly involved with the man made fantasies of the world, the horrors of: vampires, werewolf’s, fighting, destruction of everything around them, breaking of furniture, crashing of cars? This IS the pass time trend of many children today.. And parents think it is funny… Give them a B-B gun and let them shoot cats, dogs, anything in sight… while the parents sit back and laugh at how ~~BAD~~ little Johnny IS… Then when little Johnny is and adult and kills someone, or IS killed by a violet act, those same parents cry: “WE Tried TO raise him ~~RIGHT~~”….
Those same parents, claimed that they didn’t want to teach little Johnny what was written in the Bible, God’s Book of ALL Instruction for mankind, ~~BECAUSE~~ it contained TOO much violence… HOW do you figure?
The teaching that: God’s Love IS Unconditional, God Loves you no matter what you do, IS Tripping up many, many folks, who don’t or won’t search the scriptures for themselves and humbly bow before our Maker, to obediently serve HIM IN HIS WILL & WAY….
They will teach the children the little song, “Jesus Loves ME, This I Know, Cause The Bible Tells ME SO”… But they fall very short IN teaching the children or themselves that there IS A WAY, A TRUTH, A LIFE that we must accept, submit to, ~Follow~ In order to maintain that LOVE, to a life of eternity in heaven…
In their misconception of God’s Love, they are sentencing themselves and their children to an eternity in the pit of flames, along with their teacher, and mentor, Satan the Devil….
(II Thessalonians 2:10 - 12)…Because they received ~NOT~ The *LOVE* OF THE Truth That they might be saved… ~~FOR THIS CAUSE~~ God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a ~LIE~ That they might BE Damned who believe NOT The Truth, BUT HAD Pleasure IN *Unrighteousness*…
(II Timothy 4:3-4)… the time ~Will Come~ when they will not endure ~Sound Doctrine~ but after their own lust shall heap to themselves teachers having itching ears: & they shall turn away from the truth, and shall turn to fables..
Those teachers are telling folks that God Loves them in their sins and that their sins are hidden in God’s Son, soooo that they can do as they please and God does not see, BUT IS ALL Forgiving.
ALL that we have to do IS Say, “I Believe”…. Well Belief goes a long way, in developing faith, but faith brings about obedient work, & the process must ever move forward toward the goal of Complete Humble Obedience TO THE LORD, IN HIS Will & Way not the ways of violence in a lost and dying world…led by Satan the Devil… That IS The first clue that we can see that ~~Something~ IS Amiss in our ~~Belief~~… AND WE MUST Correct what IS AMISS.
We must turn off the TV shows of violence… Toss out the Harry Potter Movies… Break the BB guns into a million pieces…
We ourselves Must toss out the Vampire Dairies, the Day of the Walking Dead, The Ghost hunters, the books of Romance that we keep our heads and attention in, take our children and sit down with them, PICK UP the Bible Open IT AND Begin teaching our children of the Power and Might of God’s Love AS IT IS Written… HOW HE Exacts our Respect, our loyalty, our devotion, THAT God Expects HIS children TO: LOVE HIM… SHOW That LOVE, Through Humble Obedience TO HIM…AS we Learn ourselves the ~right~ way of truth, to walk through this life here on earth…. After ALL IT IS UP TO US, TO Teach our own children the right way, the show them THE Righteous Path…
Many teach the Proclamation of God’s LOVE IN: (John 3:16)… AS The Freedom TO Do as we please and God WILL Love US Because HE LOVES ALL THE WORLD… BUT Read IT AGAIN Sam! (That ~~Whosoever~~ *Believeth* IN HIM*) & then read verses 18-21.. (21).. He that *Doeth Truth* cometh to THE LIGHT, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are ~Wrought~ IN God….
AND IF we Believe what WILL we DO?
(I John 5:3) … FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD: That we keep HIS Commandments…&
AND WE MUST Keep ~~Ourselves~~ in that Love of God…AS IT IS ALSO WRITTEN!
(Jude 1:21)… Keeping ~~yourselves~~ IN THE *LOVE OF GOD*… HOW?
(Romans 6:16) …Know ye not, That TO Whom ye yield yourself servants to ~OBEY~ ..his servants ye are… Whether of sin unto death OR OF Obedience unto Righteousness….
IF we don’t know, or will not obey the commands of God to life, how on earth can we teach our children in righteousness?
(III John 1:4)…I have no greater ~joy~ than to hear that my children walk IN Truth… (11) .. Beloved follow NOT That Which IS Evil, BUT, That Which IS Good, he that doeth Good IS OF God… he that: ~Doeth Evil~~ *HATH NOT SEEN* God…
What we ~Let out children DO~ .. Directs their vision, their path, their walk… Please BE Aware OF the Good AND THE Evil and Teach your children as you learn yourself OF The things that Please God…..

How TO Lose A Mate

ONE, of the biggest mistakes that a wife/husband especially young newly weds, can make in a casual conversation, watching people passing by, or viewing a movie, IS to say to your mate: “WHY, Can’t you be more like that person? .. Look, how shapely, muscular, slim, ect. That person IS, WHY, don’t you try to be more like him/her?” Firm up here and there, go on a diet, gain more weight, have plastic surgery.. dye your hair… ALL Changes that most times WILL cause many problems.. Personally, physically, mentally, as well as destroy a marriage…
A Comment like that may seem harmless for the present, AND your mate may give the impression of not caring about your comments, pretending that IT doesn’t bother them at all to avoid an argument OR hurt feelings any further… BUT, down the road, sooner or later, IT ~WILL~ turn around and bite you…. Because remarks like this: NO Matter how innocent do hurt! They may be suppressed for a while, but IN This State they sorta sit and fester, and eventually they will do one of two things…
They will either ~KILL~ the affection that your mate has for you making a marriage become a methodical process of ~Got To’s~ a drudgery of life, But their heart will be far away… because IT does affect the love that one holds for another… and saps the joy out of a marriage…
OR, IT WILL one day erupt into a huge argument that will end up in a split between the two, a breaking down of, and the eventual dissolving of a marriage. A big snow slide started, by a few simple words that were really unnecessary… Lives ruined, by the hurt caused BY a very avoidable act…
Intentions may be only good, words spoken may be to effect a better change, or intended to draw jealousy out of your mate to make them more affectionate toward you, OR, maybe just in jest, as joking around… BUT some things you say to your mate, will stick in the back of their mind and fester and grow over the years and after a while develop into a cancerous condition, eating away at the bonds of togetherness, that you have tried to create.. and develop together…
Comparing your mate to someone else in any situation, can have critical end results… OH, he/she may say, “that doesn’t bother me” … BUT IT IS Being stored up in a memory file… THAT: can and most likely WILL come out later AS:
“I was never good enough for you, no matter how hard I tried, you always wanted me to BE something or someone else, different!” AND “SO, IF you want someone else, then the road IS Open, go get them!”
TRUE TO Those Words, the person that you married, your mate, he or she, IS unique, there IS NO other person on earth exactly like them. Which in many cases IS what held your attention of them in the beginning.. HAVE you taken your eyes off your mate and began to: ~LOOK~ over the fence?… Consider IT & IF SOOOooo…
Remember, the very first sin started TO develop WITH, “A LOOK”. (Genesis 3:6).. Eve [saw].. SO Maybe you need to re-adjust your vision, and turn IT back TO, first the LORD
AND, keeping your face turned to God will erase, many faults that your may think you see in your mate. Then, keep your gaze turned to your mate, and let the rest of the world glide right on by…
The Way God Created you was HIS Choice… Why on earth would you want to change the special way that HE Made you or your mate…
God gives us ~~ALL~~ a beautiful hair color, why run out and buy man made dyes to make ourselves up like ~Jezebel~? A woman that God has condemned… with painted faces..
Why on earth would man or woman want to remake the person that they fell in love with to begin with?
Most times when this IS Accomplished, you are not happy with the results and the argument then becomes, “You’ve changed, your not the person that I married”….. AND there again most times IT Goes right back TO: WHY? Don’t you try to be more like so-n-so else?
(Matthew 19:6) … Wherefore they are ~NO More Twain~ (two) , BUT one flesh, what therefore God hat joined together, let not man put asunder…
Most marriages fail Because OF Two things, one arguments over money OR, and this IS THE Biggest Cause, ~drifting eyes~… casting glances at the way other folks are living, the things they have that you don’t and *IF* your mate worked harder then the two of you could have the same things…. BUT when you work harder you are apart more, you begin to focus your vision on the allure of others…their dress, their shape, their demeanor, and there again the bonds that held in the beginning, when you were first wed, begins to crumble..
JUST AS DOES A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH: our Maker, our Father in Heaven, HIS Son Jesus Christ, and The Holy Ghost, THE Unity OF ONE, God, when you cast you vision toward the things of the world, Satan IS Right there to help you along in the destruction of your BOND, the TIES That hold you in The Arms of Jesus, under His Care… Because, ~you~ must First be humbly willing to stay there, and secondly ~you~ Must, Obey God’s Will and Way.. Dabbling in the ways of the world is nothing more than simple disobedience TO God’s Way, Because IT IS Written:
(James 4:4) … ye adulterers & adulteresses, know ye not that the ~friendship of the world~ IS enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world IS ~the enemy of God~…
Same as casting our eyes outside of our marital state with our mate, husband/wife…
God IS Wonderful, HE Made a plan of Salvation for ALL mankind, ALL we have to do IS accept IT, Keep the gaze our eyes focused on God, and take our vision way from the ways of the world and the things it has to offer, and we can live a more joyful life here on this earth, as we prepare and ~prove ourselves fit for~ God’s Heavenly Kingdom… AS Jesus Said:
(Luke 9:26)… “No man (or woman) having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, IS FIT for the Kingdom OF God”…..
We have entered into a state of marriage with a mate, we must keep our eyes turned toward each other…. We have entered into a state of marriage with the Master, and made IT public by Baptism, we MSUT keep our eyes focused on the LORD, our faces strongly set, toward HIS Kingdom, and walk strait and sure, guided BY God’s Book of Instruction that HE Gave us TO Keep AS A Reminder of ALL HIS Ways… that we MUST Obey, Follow, Observe…Keep!

Comfort Zone OF Sin

Mankind seems to have become SO ~comfortable~ in their own ways that they can’t digest the truth of God’s Written Word when IT IS Given to them… IT either goes in one ear, straight through the empty space between, and out the other, OR *IT* totally bounces off of the hardened mindset of their ~own~ way.
Humble hearts are few and far between… Obedience has been overrun by arrogance… & .. Faces are turned and hard set, toward the ploys of Satan’s world, snares that he has laid out to catch man in and draw all men to him and away from the Savior, his adversary, Jesus Christ. Because, he knows that he has but a short time to rule and he is ruling well… (I Peter 5:8)
How can we know this? How subtle and sly do you think the adversary really IS? Let me give you an example, that ~WILL BE~ very unpopular, but IF folks could only see how true…
There area many sports teams that use the: ~Devil~ as their mascot’s for their teams… Harmless! Just a little blue, or red devil that represents the sport of how tough and ~BAD~ their team IS.
Many, many followers of Christ, support this idea as well as the schools, because their children are on them and they want their children to succeed at sports…SOOOOoooo…
The ~Christian~ IS NOT Going TO: protest this mascot, for fear of: Offending, Causing unnecessary problems among their friends, “OH, IT JUST would not set a good example to stand up and tell the school board that this IS NOT Pleasing TO God, ~y~ they’d laugh you right out of the room, for being SO picky”. AND your child would be ridiculed, and the coach would not let them play the better positions, he’d keep them on the bench… You would suffer more than IT would be worth, and bring ~unnecessary~ suffering on your family… SOOOoo..
You stand and yell, “GO Devils”.. “Git-um Devils” … your child plays well, SO, you declare that he IS playing FOR the LORD, showing his talent that the LORD gave him, and supporting the *Devils*….. ALL GOOD…. ALL ARE IN A COMFORT ZONE… NO ONE IS ROCKING THE BOAT OF THIS FLESHLY LIFE….. Harmony abounds…
After ~ALL~ What IS IN A NAME? WHAT IS Wrong with claiming an innocent little devil as a mascot?…. AFTER ALL There IS Nothing Written that WILL Indicate THAT THIS IS A SIN? IS There? WHAT IS IN A NAME?
(Genesis 3:20) .. Adam called his wife’s ~name~ Eve, BECAUSE, she was the mother OF ALL living… (Genesis 4:25)… and she bare a son, and called his name: Seth… for God.
(Genesis 17: 5).. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, BUT thy name shall be Abraham, FOR A ~father of many nations~ I (THE LORD) have made thee.
(II Kings 9:37)… the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the earth.. Also (REV. 2:20).
All throughout the Written Word, that Christians claim to follow, IT IS Written of the implications of: A Name…
(Jeremiah 7:30)…THE LORD SAID: “they have set their abominations in the House Which IS Called BY MY NAME, TO pollute IT”…
(Luke 8:30).. The man possessed was called: ~Legion~ .. Because , many ~devils~ were entered into him….
So we can see that names have and hold value… whether IT IS our given name, or the name that we attain by our actions, whether we prove ourselves to be ~Criminal~ OR ~Saint~ ~Obedient~ OR ~Rebellious~, A Rose by any other ~Name~ IS still A Rose… and an ~Implication~ of A Name Still proves to be what the Same infers… AND SO…
DO we lift up to the Name of Christ IF we claim TO BE HIS?
Back up and look at the actions, that ~Speak~ Louder than Words, Actually they Scream OUT to a lost and dying world… IN Example…
We protest, because the government took the Bible out of the schools, Which IS THE BOOK That we Are Supposed TO Lift up as A Guide TO our Faith… BUT.. We reject THAT Very Book ourselves when IT Comes to supporting the sports that carry the Name of The Adversary of THE ONE< whom we Claim TO Believe IN, Follow, Walk with….
We march around the schools in Prayer marches, for the safety of the schools, praying that prayer be restored to the schools, and then walk into the sports arenas, and holler, “GO DEVILS, GIT-UM”… Something wrong with the picture, Isn’t IT JUST A Mite Askew? Downright warped? Either we ARE for Christ, OR we ARE for His adversary and ours, BUT we can’t be found sitting astraddle of the fence…..
(Revelation 3:15-16)… Remember this IS Jesus Speaking: “I KNOW thy works, that thou art ~Neither~ cold nor hot: I Would that thou wert cold or hot… SOOOOoo… THEN BECAUSE: Thou art ~LUKEWARM~ and neither cold nor hot, I WILL Spew thee out of MY Mouth…”
We have reached a time, modernized to the point that we can sit and watch comedians make fun of: The Bible, The Father, The Son, AND The Holy Ghost, and laugh right along with them.. Join in the fun… Then get up the next morning and trot off to a Church Service in the Name of Christianity, feeling good about our religion, happy as a dead pig in the sunshine, because that IS what we are… we are serving a belief that holds us in the ~comfort zone~ of the world led by Satan, Instead of Standing on the Rock of Salvation, buffeted by those lost to the world… Which AS IT IS Written, we must endure as Jesus endured *IF* .. We are going to be His True followers, walking within Him so as to be IN The Father Through The Son Jesus Christ….
(James 4:4) .. Ye adulterers & adulteresses, know ye not THAT the friendship of the world IS enmity with God? Whosoever, therefore WILL BE A ~friend~ OF The World *IS* THE ~Enemy~ OF God…. (James 2:26) .. As the body without the spirit IS Dead, SO faith without works IS DEAD ALSO.
Our works in the world are all in vain *IF* we try to straddle the fence in our walk..
(Mark 7: 7) “IN Vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
(Romans 1:21)… BECAUSE, when they knew God, they ~Glorified HIM Not AS God~ Neither Were Thankful~; BUT Became ~Vain~ IN their imaginations, and their ~~Foolish~~ heart was darkened…
In The Comfort Zone of the world, we begin to accept things that are not pleasing TO God, things that really testify to our rejecting HIS Power and HIS Glory, and in our vain imaginations, *IT* becomes okay for us take part in and support things that God has had Written IN HIS BOOK OF ALL Instruction for us to follow, that are an abomination unto HIM…. Claiming that IT IS Modern Time, we don’t really mean IT AS A Stand against God… Our hearts are pure, even though our actions speak otherwise… IT IS not in our minds to commit the ~Sin of Disobedience~ even though our hands are in the spoiling pot of the world… IT’S Sorta like the ~Drunk~ claiming that; “I had one little drink, but I ain’t too drunk to drive.” “One drink don’t make one drunk”… One affair don’t make one a fornicator, we can excuse any thing we do, BUT that don’t make IT Right before God’s Eyes, and our sins are not HIDDEN in Jesus as many believe…
Jesus came to live among men, was crucified as the Once and for ALL Time Sacrifice for mans sin, BUT we still are accountable for that sin *IF* we walk outside of Christ, which IS where we are walking when we are IN THE Comfort Zone of This Lost and Dying World of Satan….
Because *IF* we are walking with/in Christ we are proving staunchly ~Obedient~ unto His Father AS He Walked, we ARE Proving Humbly Loyally TO God, and taking our punches in the world, for that walk as Jesus DID, not trying to hold hands with the world in order Not To Rock the Boat of The Devil’s Pride….

What Independence Should We Celebrate?

This subject will offend many,  BUT, many were offended by the words that Jesus Spoke, and are still offended by AS IT IS Written:  (Matthew  15: 12-13).. the disciples informed JEsus that the Pharisees were ~Offended~ after they heard His saying.. BUT Jesus Said: "Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind"..  This IS NOT to judge, hurt or bring harm to anyone, nor to bring down the rulership of the nations of this world,  THIS IS FOR The Judgment Belonging TO GOD ONLY..  my part IS: simply  to bring the Message OF God's Kingdom, AS IT IS Written.  May God bless each reader and guide us all into HIS Will & Way in ALL Things... BY The Holy Spirit...
Today in many Church Services a ~Day~ of Independence will be celebrated, by raising the flag of this nation, singing songs of praise to it, and honoring “The Freedom” That *IT* has given to mankind, BY: The traditions of men…
BUT! Think about IT! What IS really being done?
Men, women, children, standing before the LORD,  in The House set aside FOR: The Purpose OF prayer, giving of ~Thanks~ TO our Heavenly Father, in the Name of And Through HIS Son, Jesus Christ… (Psalm 100) (Mark 11:17) (Isaiah 56:7) (II Kings 20:5)  BUT WHEN
Instead of doing this, we are giving thanks to our fleshly ancestors, a piece pf cloth mounted on a pole, with the image of a golden eagle sitting atop… This IS Very Much Akin TO and In The Same category AS: The many, many abominations that were committed before the LORD, by the kings that led HIS children the Israelites, AS Recorded in THE Old Testament… which many want to ignore because IT IS A New Day and Time…. BUT, they fail to take into consideration THAT: IT IS: THE SAME God… HE IS Unchanging IN What HE Exacts of HIS children…. (Malachi 3:6) (Proverbs 14:21)
Another thought TO Seriously consider IS: Exactly what ~Independence~ DO we celebrate? ..
Yes, our ancestors were searching for ~freedom~ from unjust and heavy taxation… A better future for themselves and their families,… looking for a better fleshly life… and this they may have found, temporarily… BUT! Did they in the long run of things not just jump out of the frying pan into the fire… ?
Ride down the streets and look at the homeless, the oppressed, those with families that are being tossed out of their homes they worked for because they have lost their jobs, to foreign countries… Has charity began AT home here? The people are being taxed so that the CEO’S of big corporations, that the government IS Giving huge amounts of bailout monies to, can still receive their million dollar bonus’s still. Freedom?
Freedom TO: pay more taxes so that the: “rich can get richer & the poor can get poorer”… IS IT Any different in any other country? NO!
SOOOOooo… we Should Be able TO ~~SEE~~ that AS IT IS Written ~~ALL~~ nations are under God, &&& this IS NOT TO SAY, “Under HIS Rule” BUT: Under *HIS* Judgment… (Revelations 18:3) … “ALL Nations ~~HAVE~~ Drunk OF the wine of The ~Wrath~ OF her fornication…”
(Deuteronomy 14:2) …The LORD hath chosen thee TO BE A Peculiar people unto HIMSELF, ~~Above~~ *ALL* The nations that are upon the earth…
(Titus 2:14) .. Who gave Himself for us, that He Might ~Redeem~ us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself ~~A peculiar people~~ zealous of ~~GOOD works~~ …
Because THERE IS ONLY ONE Nation Under HIS Rule, and THAT IS: *HIS Kingdom*, THAT HIS Son came to earth preaching and teaching OF… THAT we who are HIS Followers should focus our attention on and look to for ~our~ *Freedom*…. *FREEDOM* from a world led by Satan the devil who has been cast out of the heavens and down to the earth, to rule but for a short time, and knowing this, he, the serpent, the dragon, the devil, Lucifer, and his demons goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour…. (I Peter 5:8)
What did Satan offer Jesus *IF* He would bow down and do one simple act of worship before him? … “ALL” The kingdoms of the world,…(Luke 4:5-8).. he did not offer him all but one that already belonged to God did he?
AND he IS devouring many, BECAUSE, the Churches are failing TO Teach: AS IT IS Written OF The Adversary, whom we are at war with, for fear of hurting fleshly feelings… We can’t teach so strongly because IT will not be popular… with the people loyal to a worldly nation, embracing all IT’S customs…
By what God was Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego delivered, when they did not bow before the king, embrace their occasions, as we do today before the government of this nation?
ASK yourself this, read the Scripture, realize that this was just a simple act, no more than a loyal salute to a flag, hand over the heart, and the singing of a song of praise to the king of a country… Was IT any different than the act that will be carried out IN the Houses set aside for the Worship of the God that saved them for refusing TO Compromise their faithful loyalty?
(Daniel 3:15-25 & )…
(3:28)… WHO? hath sent HIS Angel, & delivered HIS servants that ~Trusted~ IN *HIM*, and have changed the kings word, and yielded their bodies, that they might ~NOT~ SERVE , NOR Worship any god, EXCEPT their own God…
BACK UP And take another look into the mirror of this fleshly life and the way that folks carry on over IT, and see where IT Shows, Reflects, Proves THAT our Loyalties lie….
Today, many folks will say “IF” IT Had not been for our ancestors, the bravery that they showed in coming here to start a new life we would not be here now…
I stand to say, “IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR: “our Father, Who ART IN Heaven, Hallowed BE THY NAME, THY Kingdom COME, THY Will BE DONE, ON Earth AS IT IS IN Heaven.. we would be lost and dying in every nation, not called out of them, today, in what ever country, or lands that, God, our MAKER Saw Fit TO, plant our feet on, AND I give my thanks TO God The Father, IN the Name of HIS Son, Jesus Christ, and By The Holy Spirit!”
AND The “Ensign” (Flag) THAT I lift up today IS: Jesus Christ, our Savior, The Way, The Truth, The Light…

Pride Goeth Before Destruction

(Psalm 12:3)… THE LORD Shall cut off ~ALL~ flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh *Proud* things..
(James 4:6)… God resisteth the ~proud~ BUT giveth ~Grace~ to the humble…
(I Timothy 6:4) … he IS Proud, knowing nothing..
(II Timothy 3:2).. For men shall be lovers of their own selves…
(Proverbs 16:5) .. ~Everyone~ That IS *Proud* in heart IS An ~Abomination~ TO THE LORD…
(Proverbs 16:8) .. *Pride* goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall…
(I John 2:16)… FOR ~ALL~ That IS IN the world; The lust OF the flesh; The lust of the eyes; & The *Pride* of life, ~IS NOT OF~ THE Father, BUT, Of the world…
(Daniel 5:18-20) .. The ~Pride~ of Nebuchadnezzar: when his heart was ~Lifted up in Pride~ what happened? He was deposed from his kingly throne… (21)…his heart was made like the beast…
(Hosea 7:1-10) .. When the LORD would have healed ~Israel~, iniquity was found, in Ephraim… & they considered not in their hearts that I (THE LORD) remember ~ALL~ their wickedness… *They Have Made The King Glad with their wickedness*… & ~The *Pride* of Israel testifieth to HIS face: & they do not return to the LORD their God, Nor seek HIM in ~ALL~ this…
Consider all the past history… AS the war hero’s that are being lifted up in praise and honor do.. They study the failures of past war maneuvers, of failures in battle to improve their chances of winning the present wars …
We the people who call ourselves after The Son OF God, should also consider the past failures of God’s people to serve THE LORD and Keep their faces turned TO HIM… While we are lifting up the flags of earthly rulers and nations, praising the lands in which we live, giving praise and honor to the countries that drove our friends, loved ones, fathers, sons, brothers, like cattle to the slaughter in the u-boats that landed on Normandy, fighting for our freedom… WHAT Price was paid?
Does that honor go to the men who died? To the men who lived? To the Generals, & Chief’s who planned the maneuvers, to fight ~the enemy~? OR, do we OWE THE Praise, Honor, Glory TO, THE ONE WHO Holds ~ALL~ Things IN HIS Hand…???
Would these things have been avoided BY keeping our faces turned to THE LORD, as was the failure of the Israelites, which sent them into punishment, of death and bondage, at the hands of other nations?
Would we better ~honor~ those who gave their lives in battle, BY praising the LORD, for HIS mercy…? The lives of those who fell on the beaches, on the mountains, in the wilderness, on lands foreign to their birth, those who fell, those who lived, those who were killed as the enemy of another? ..
Each country, that a person IS born in, IS The homeland of that person, fleshly… AND that heritage IS carried as our roots… There are those whose are citizens of this country, BUT their roots, their fleshly ancestors, are grounded in another land, and so there IS Still the ~Pride~ of the old country in their hearts… AS Well as the ~Pride~ of this country… BUT:
When one IS Drawn by the Father, led by the Spirit to Accept The Son, TO come under the Leadership of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, THEN our ~~citizenship~~ IS changed.. we are no longer to follow the ways of the world, BUT our conversation IS TO BE, IN Heaven. WE are changed, or should be, the old man IS PUT away, and the new man IS Now on the roles of God’s Kingdom… (Ephesians 4:22) . (Philippians 1:27 * 3:20)
AND we can no longer ~~LOOK BACK~~, to the old homeland, raise the heart of pride for a country on earth, Because in this act we are ~~Rejecting~~ THE Kingdom of our LORD… FROM WHICH, ~~ALL~~ our *Freedom*… RINGS… man does not deliver us, no amount of ammunition or weapons can accomplish our deliverance into eternal life, ONLY God.
AND YET, each and every secular holiday, we want to break out the praise of nations, lift up the proud hearts for a world of flesh, give our allegiance to the flags of earthly countries, looking to them as saving us from oppression, from hunger, from war, from poverty, while we are sitting smack dab in the middle of ~ALL~ these things, blind as bats, as to THE REAL SAVIOR. Our backs are turned to God, while we have turned our faces to the wall of Satan in a world set for annihilation…
I am not saying that the accounts of ~ALL~ these things cannot be reviewed, so that the memory of our loved ones be lost, but the way we look at these events, must be taken with a grain of salt, and spoken of as accounts, not lifted up and praised as being grand and greater than or equal to God’s Glory…. AND we MUST as IT IS Written, give the proper respect to the rulers that are over us as Daniel and The Three Hebrews DID, BUT at the sounds of music, or the calling of assemblies to praise anything other than our LORD, we MUST Draw the LINE, STOP Abruptly, and Keep our eyes focused ON our Maker…
IT IS Written from ~Genesis TO Revelation~ this world IS set for destruction, because of the sins of man… AND only those who, ~hear, Obey, & follow The LORD, keeping their faces turned TO God, will gain eternity in HIS Kingdom…
SO IF we can’t claim HIS Kingdom while we are walking here in in the flesh, *IF*, we can’t ~Lift Up THE Ensign of God’s Kingdom, Jesus Christ, Instead OF ALL the other’s, Do you think we will be found worthy, when Christ returns? (Isaiah 11:10)
Can we come to the marriage supper draped in the flags of the nations, and the blood of fallen soldiers? Does this benefit those who gave their lives in battle?
(Revelation 19:4-16)… Read IT ALL In the KJV of THE Bible… they ~Worshiped~ God that sat on the ~Throne~ and a voice came out of the throne, saying, “Praise our God, ~ALL~ ye HIS servants, AND ye that fear HIM”… “Let ~~us~~ be glad & rejoice, AND Give *Honour* TO HIM: for the ~Marriage of the Lamb IS Come…. AND, His ~~bride~~ has made herself ready, and to her was granted that she ~Should BE~ Arrayed IN fine linen, clean and white…
WE can’t wait until, there IS ~NO~ earthly countries left to praise, and honor to give our complete honor and allegiance to God’s Kingdom, BUT we are to be oiling our lamps NOW, making ready for the marriage of the Lamb… Because when the Bridegroom cometh, IT IS TOO Late: Only those that ARE Prepared will enter in, AND The Door WILL BE Shut… (Matthew 25:1-10)
(Revelation 18:23) … The ~light~ of A candle shall no more shine at all in thee; … thy merchants were great men of ~THE~ earth: FOR By thy ~Sorceries~ were ~ALL~ *Nations* deceived….
The sorceries of Satan, the building up of ~~Pride~~ in the hearts of men, for anything, brings forth ~Contention~… (Proverbs 13:10) Arguments, jealousies, rivalries, all arise from the *Sin* OF *Pride*… SOOOOoooo… “*IF* we have put our hand to the plow, we cannot look back, but we must, keep our gaze focused upward, placed firmly upon, “THE Ensign” OF God’s Kingdom, giving the praise, glory, and honor to out Heavenly Father, realizing and giving Thanks TO The Father in the Name of the Son, AS IT IS Written, IN The Book That God Gave us to Refer to as reminder of the things that HE Expects HIS children TO OBEY!
(Luke 9: 26) … ~~NO man~~ having put his hand to the plough and looking back IS fit for the Kingdom of Heaven….
SOOOO IF we have made that commitment, TO God, AND expressed IT publicly by Baptism, we can’t look back at any nation to praise IT or lift IT up as giving us our freedom, before the world… else we make a public denouncement of Christ our Lord and of God’s Kingdom…
There IS A place of quiet, peace wherein we come to meet with our Lord, and hear His voice, feel His Love, His Presence… and that IS where we should seek to walk…what we should seek to share with others, & *Express* Before ~ALL~ people… NOT in the loud and blusterous ways of a lost and dying world, led by the adversary IN the ~~Pride, of IT~~…
