Jesus

Where The Olive Tree is evergreen, in our Word and Deed

1Co 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

4th of July Action

Can we stand up today and say, “God, I’ve fought a good fight.” If today was going to be the last day before God would take you, and somebody would ask, “Have you fought a good fight?” How would you answer? …

1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Willing and Good Stewardship of the Armor Brings Blessings

Ralph Waldo Emerson once observed, “Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.” Although children doubtless do not recognize it at the time, they crave discipline, particularly during their formative years. Discipline defines boundaries for them, provides security, and is an active expression of a parent’s love. Most important, it prepares them for the challenges of adulthood.

Feet Shod with the Gospel of Peace polished

Often those who still don’t understand will be more inquisitive and to those asking deeper questions we can say: “Freedom, and peace aren’t free.” and “Part of the investment is to offer your blood should the need arise.”

There are others who have said: “From the date of the Present Treaty there shall subsist a firm and Sincere Peace and Amity between the President and Citizens of the United States of North America and Hassan Bashaw Dey of Algiers his Divan and Subjects the Vessels and Subjects of both Nations reciprocally treating each other with Civility Honor and Respect.” (The Barbary Treaties 1786-1816.

Equality n Love Components

When we think of Equality in the Eyes of God we must realize God is no respector of persons in this life. When we do well according to his will we are promised the just reward. Many people today stumble at Christ because of the Charity issue. The Common beliefs are either God Rewards those that reward themselves or that every thing should be free for those who ask. The common beliefs neglect the middle ground:

Lu 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

God does likewise in his all his gifts. This reflects the image of God. This reflects equality among men. Something all must reflect.

1Co 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

Ac 2:1 ¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Ac 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Ac 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Ac 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Ac 2:5 ¶ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Ac 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Ac 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? Ac 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Ac 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Ac 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Ac 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. Ac 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? Ac 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. Ac 2:14 ¶ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: Ac 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. Ac 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; Ac 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Ac 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: Ac 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: Ac 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: Ac 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Ac 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Ac 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Ac 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. Ac 2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Ac 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Ac 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Ac 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Ac 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Ac 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; Ac 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. Ac 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Ac 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. Ac 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Ac 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. Ac 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Ac 2:37 ¶ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Ac 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Ac 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Ac 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Ac 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Ac 2:42 ¶ And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Ac 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. Ac 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; Ac 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Ac 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Ac 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

About the first portion of this scripture- the portion they talked in tongues.

“Tounges spoken often edify, you its not for showing off.

Try the spirits. Ask God: ‘Am I just Freaking myself or is it for real?’

1Co 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

Do I have to speak in tongues before I get any other gifts and the spirit? And what scripture support this doctrine?

1Co 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 1Co 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 1Co 12:27 ¶ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. … 1Co 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.”

Remember its the responsibility of those that hear to share accurate thought with those who have not heard. So also be careful you are not trapped by your own actions in the eyes of God.

Ec 5:1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

Matthew 6:14–15 (KJV 1900) 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Equality then is found as absolute LOVE in Jesus and a good way to break down the meaning of Love is to understand there are three components to Love: Faith, Hope, and Charity.

Ps 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

If God is going to inhabit our praise he will expect to find and add Faith Hope and Charity in that praise and therefore the life force that praise is coming from and living in on earth. The best way to insure this is asking “will Jesus find his name: On our Faith? On our Hope? And on our Charity?

There are several ways we can break this down. Since Charity is the most powerful force God chooses to use, we will look at this by breaking down what his word says about faith, what his word says about faith, what his word says about hope, what his word says about charity, and last yet greatest of importance what his name means and does.

1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

The precept of faith:

Learning from adversity: “The nazarene met with the supreme sacrifice on the cross…” he sewed one death that led to more and more people that are having faith in him every day. Napoleon Hill. 17 Principles of success. Learning from adversity. Recording 47.

Heb 11:1 ¶ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Heb 11:4 ¶ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. Heb 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: Heb 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Heb 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. Heb 11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Heb 11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Heb 11:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. Heb 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. Heb 11:21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. Heb 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. Heb 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. Heb 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Heb 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Heb 11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. Heb 11:27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Heb 11:28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. Heb 11:29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. Heb 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. Heb 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. Heb 11:32 ¶ And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Heb 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Heb 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Heb 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: Heb 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: Heb 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; Heb 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

The concept of this precept is complicated only if a person makes it complicated. Faith is that final apportionment that when applied makes a person have absolute success so long as it is done with accurate thought. Accurate Thought can be conceived when Hope and Charity are understood and acted upon.

Hope is asking God for something with the assurance that God will supply it if its in his will. Its sounds weaker but keeps you dependent on God. actually allowing you to Bear the Root. Viz:

Ro 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Ro 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Ro 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Ro 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Ro 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Ro 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Ro 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. Ro 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? Ro 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Ro 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Notice Faith is mingled with something that can only come from God here. Hope that you are right. Now some direct info on hope is:

Job 5:15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. Job 5:16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. Job 5:17 ¶ Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: Job 5:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. Job 5:19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. Job 5:20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. Job 5:21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. Job 5:22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. Job 5:23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

Taking Hope in context here we see there is so much that comes from hope just being mentioned one time that to mingle Faith, Hope, Charity, and Gods name (a name without which everything else is vanity) with it you become unstoppable.

Why then do we apply Charity if we have three strong pillars that can stand alone? Because:

1Co 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

One more thing then: the scripture on Charity. Do not expect Knowledge on these subjects alone to be your weapon. Treat all four of these words as verbs as well as nouns. Notice how we portray all are equal so long as they accept Jesus making them equal. Please viz:

1Co 12:1 ¶ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 1Co 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

Now we will look at Charity as a verb:

1Co 13:1 ¶ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 1Co 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1Co 13:4 ¶ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 1Co 13:8 ¶ Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

So Charity is part of Love and part of the choice to make we are speaking of brotherly Love among all mankind. Not lust. That’s another chapter.

So now the final of the four corners pin. That pin which the pen doth write and the mouth doth speak that leads the way into the Godhead bodily. Jesus Christ. The more excellent name. First we should look at the prefix of the spelling. J-e.

Ex 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Jg 1:8 Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

Notice where the letters J-E are in these two key terms. One more dissection and at the same time we go into interpretation.

Yruwshalaim yer-oo-shaw-lah’-im rarely Yruwshalayim {yer-oo- shaw-lah’-yim}; a dual (in allusion to its two main hills (the true pointing, at least of the former reading, seems to be that of 3390)); probably from (the passive participle of) 3384 and 7999; founded peaceful; Jerushalaim or Jerushalem, the capital city of Palestine:―Jerusalem. The concept here seems to say that the land is called Palenstine. But the precept says something different.

Ge 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Ge 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: Ge 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

Heb 7:1 ¶ For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; Heb 7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Heb 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Heb 7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: Heb 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. Heb 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

Every Jew and Muslim you come across that is skilled in the knowledge of Salem will tell you Jerusalem is on mount Salem. The Capitol chosen by Judah, the permanent Lawgiver of Israels tribes.

Now where does the name Jesus come from explicitly:

Mt 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Mt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Mt 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Mt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Joh 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. Joh 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. Joh 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. Joh 1:43 ¶ The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Joh 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Joh 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Joh 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. Joh 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Joh 1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Joh 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Now we get to the crux of how to treat this name given at the tongue of the Arch Angel:

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isa 9:8 ¶ The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

Given we now understand there is one name. There is as we mentioned, one Spirit. We can understand how that name is to be used. With LOVE.

To prove this first we will understand there is only one Deity. First recollect several verses used here in order.

Ac 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Ac 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

Next understand what the verses say about the Godhead. Only one place is that word used in the KJV Bible; we will soon see how God makes everyone that believes in him equal in his eyes.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

There Jesus represents the entire Godhead. Jesus even called himself the Messiah- the Christ at several points, however this sums it up.

So When Christ spoke to his disciples they obeyed. In Acts 2 as we have read here they did what God told them to starting at the end of every gospel:

Ac 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Mt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Mr 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mr 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Lu 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: Lu 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Lu 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things. Lu 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

Joh 21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

Equality therefore is scripturally defined as everyone having the same permission to ask for salvation. Some of us have accepted this permission. And some have denied this permission. So long as someone is alive they have access to accepting this precept. And God will give salvation to every person who asks with a whole heart and gets baptized once it is offered.

1Jo 3:23 ¶ And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jo 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Love therefore is a noun as well as a verb.

Etiquette Bob Vincent 9/30/08 Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untraveled, the naïve, the unsophisticated deplore these formalities as “empty,” “meaningless,” or “dishonest,” and scorn to use them. No matter how “pure” their motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery that does not work too well at best.

― Lazarus Long Time Enough for Love, by Robert Heinlein

Lu 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

The battle we fight is more spiritual than anything. Though we seek to see people baptized, often we may not get to see them baptized by ourselves.

Re 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

It is wise therefore to presume that God will decide between the just and the unjust action as much as the just and unjust person.

God is Unequaled

                God is Unequaled

Bear with this Author here as we lay the corner stone in some peoples hearts. First: 3 quotes.

I’ve been pondering this subject for about two weeks. I gathered so many notes that I had to cut it as much as I could. So as I read, if I confuse you, I’m sorry. There is so much in this material that it’s not possible to cover it all in the time available.

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Therein lies the problem, right? We don’t have a pure heart. We are, by nature, sinful.

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

So Jesus wants us to have love in our hearts, and to be pure of heart. That love should not only extend to him, but to everyone around us. And neither one of these are of ourselves, but of him. So if we’re not pure of heart, and if we don’t have love in our hearts, what should we do?

If you were to take Psychology in college, Freud would teach you that our desires come from animal urges. Karl Jung would say that it comes from our culture and background. Carl Rogers says that we tend to overlook our goodness, and our culture inspires that.

The Bible says something very different. It says that our sinful nature comes from Adam.

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”

What’s a miracle??It’s a God-sized change. Why is a miracle??Because it causes us to focus on God and not on ourselves. When does a miracle appear??When God can tell that it will be received. What will my miracle look like??That’s between you and God.”

Pastor Peter F. Paine.

Access to God righteously comes from the use of his name properly. (This might be something Pastor Paine said at one time too.) One more quote and we will dig into the steak.

’ The mind is a powerful instrument. You can do mighty things if you prepare your mind. Of course, if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. When we talk about serving God, every single day that we open our eyes and breathe the breath of life, there is an enemy we face that is looking to destroy you, every minute of every day. That’s our old buddy, Lucifer. That’s the enemy we fight against.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Verse two says, “that ye be not soon shaken in mind.” Our thoughts lead, guide, and move all of our actions. Every action that we take begins in our minds. Every action that we take, every move that we make, it’s going to take place in our mind. So we’ve got to guard our mind, because your adversary is there. Satan is so patient; patent and persistent. I can be patient and persistent; any of us can. But we know when to stop; he doesn’t. It says “be not soon shaken in mind,” because the minute we say, “Lord, I will”, Satan is there to say, “No, you can’t.” ’

We will now use the above quotes to describe an unequaled God:

Historians of the most popular sort have one thing dead wrong. Its condemned countless generations of the most popular and/or outspoken sort to everlasting torment. The tittle regards Jesus and how for every verse that says there is a Trinity and three diety’s the context those scriptures are in says otherwise. Then three times more scriptures that say very directly there is: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism.

The Scripture that says without a doubt that the GodHead is merely a set of expressions and examples and the Glory of one spirit is easily found as a scripture that the devil is trying hard to toss out the window. The original translation is one that the Trinitarian Gospels cannot explain away as their people would like.

Taken alone without putting it in context Colossians chapter 2 verse 9 explicitly describes the reason we celebrate Christmas, we will keep the context so as to make it clear.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

In context it explains why Proverbs 18:10 says:”The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” There are other singular examples. However this one specifically states that a single molecular spec ( the physical appearance of Jesus Christ) of a spec of dust (Abraham) contains in our history and the lives of the saved: Limitless Power.

Heb 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

Equality in the Holy Ghost

Submitted by Scott Skinner on Sat, 11/13/2010 - 20:21 in Bible freedom Genealogy of Christ God Holy Ghost jealousy Jesus liberty love men Pastor Ulysse Veil The Glorified, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ Equality in the Holy Ghost: The Glorified Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ

 

In this next chapter and book page we Examine the Holy Ghost. We examine how the Manifestation of God called the Holy Ghost works with people where they are at. Making sure everyone has equality and improves those who are in in the Spirit- “grown up” “as lively stones”.

 

Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets 1Pe 2:4 ¶ To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1Pe 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

In the genealogy of Christ, there are four women named: Ruth the Moabitess: she wasn't even a Jew. Tamar the Canaanite: she played the harlot. Rahab the harlot: she was a professional. Bathsheba the mother of Solomon: that was a nasty story. These are the only four women named. Jesus is truly identified with sinners. God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten son. God loved the souls in the world so much that he gave his begotten son. Christ identified himself with sinners; he came from all those nasty people in all those nasty stories.” Pastor Ulysse. Exploring Joseph's Story, Part 2. http://www.pillars.net/newsletter/service-notes/2010-06-13/exploring-josephs-story-part-2

 

In each story the person rebuked is the most powerful leader. And when the leader takes responsibility for his wrong actions he becomes a more effective, efficient, and stronger leader. Lets start with Ruth- wife of Boaz He owned enough land and was effective enough in business he had people working for him even before he had the next child in Jesus Messia's ancestry. He married someone who was not even in the blood part of the Tribe, but accepted responsibility enough to be willing to teach her Gods ways.

 

Ru 1:4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. Notice Tamar (another newcomer to the tribe), Daughter-In Law to Judah.

 

One of the twelve sons of Jacob. The whole family of Jesus lineage was named Judah. And the one that received the most powerful Blessing his father could bestow: Leading Family of the Flock. Judah's heirs became owners of the Capital City of Israel- Jerusalem.

 

Ge 38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

Solomon was the final Leader whose mom is mentioned. He was almost illigitamate. She was even the wife of a Hittite. The Solomon was the Son of David who is the Second but most powerful King of Israel until Jesus. David realized he had Sinned in the Conception of Solomon, by making Solomon with another mans wife. Then tried to hide this continually until he killed her husband. He was rebuked by God in Nathan and went so far to make things right that huge numbers of his songs became Psalms in the Bible and are still used to teach Gods Precepts. Gods People continued in major error in most of their leadership however until Jesus came and laid the Capstone and re-organized the leadership of Gods People. He established the Apostle concept and overwhelmed the World with a Philosophy that constantly shocks and dislocates pure Worldly: greed, lust, and everything that seeks to place itself above his name or above the other bits of the knowledge of we have of God. 2Samuel chapters 11 through 12 Paul did not seek to destroy the Jews. He sought to see as many as he could saved by obediance to the Precepts Jesus emphasized, (Making them Jealous as well as using the basic Ten Commandments Moses taught.) This is not a list of two Precepts. It is one precept. Christ did away with the veil. Not the Commandments. The difference is now every saved person has access to Jesus and his Holiest of Holys in their heart. No one is denied the option of Salvation. Period. And even the least perfect person can get access to salvation now. Unlike it was when only the highest Priests, Seers and Prophets could hope to be righteous or see how to help others enter in.

 

De 32:21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. Ro 10:19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. Now lets boil this down to the Holy Ghost: 1Pe 2:4 ¶ To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1Pe 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, Mt 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Mt 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Mt 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Mr 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. Mr 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Joh 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. Joh 14:25 ¶ These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Joh 14:18 ¶ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

 

The Holy Ghost is the spirit of God (God is a spirit: John 4:24) that moves upon the face of the earth to lead and guide all mankind unto God.” http://www.mychristianfellowship.org/core_holyghost.php November 13, 2010 Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The Kingdom belongs to every Christian (equality is thereby established). The rewards are given in due season. Try not to ask for them too quick. Thus we describe the The Glorified Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
