Three that Bear Witness ~ Two Anointed ~ Heaven and Earth

Water, Blood and Spirit

John 3:5-6 LSB — Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. “That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.

    • 1 John 5:6-8 LSB — This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the👉TRUTH. For there are three that bear witness: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
      • Leviticus 17:11 ASV — For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.
      • John 14:6 LSB — Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the 👉 TRUTH, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.
    The Spirit of the anointed...
        • Romans 8:9 LSB — However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, 👉IF INDEED the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
      There are two...
        • Zechariah 4:14 ASV — Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
          • Revelation 11:3-4 LSB — “And I will give authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
      These are heaven and earth... the Spirit, water and blood.
        • Deuteronomy 31:28 ASV — Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
      Drawn out: water, Spirit and flesh (Lev 17:11) ...
        • Luke 3:21-22 LSB — Now it happened that when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”
      Blood of the anointed, the Two become One...
        • Ephesians 2:13-17 ASV — But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the 👉blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition, having abolished in his flesh the 👉enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man (Gen 1:26, 27), so making peace; and might reconcile them both in 👉one body unto God through the cross, having slain the 👉enmity thereby: and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:
      Jerusalem above, mother of the living... enmity abolished.
        • Genesis 3:15, 20 ASV — and I will put 👉enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel...And the man called his wife’s name 👉Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
        • Galatians 4:26-27 ASV — But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath the husband. (Isa 54:1)
        • 1 Timothy 2:15 LSB — But she will be saved through the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with self-restraint.
          • Strong's H2332: EVE
          • ×—ַוָּ×” Chavvâh, khav-vaw'; causatively from H2331; 👉life-giver; Chavvah (or Eve), the first woman:—Eve.
        • Revelation 12:14 LSB — But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
      • How is one taught?
        1. Is it by Bible School or any Divinity College?
        2. Is it by any manmade church...religion?
        3. Is it by any who get paid (donations) to sell the word of God?
        4. How well do you really know those teaching you?
      If you do it for any kind of payment, you ARE NOT doing it for God.
        • Luke 16:13 NLT — “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
        • 2 Timothy 3:5-7 LSB — holding to a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Keep away from such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and take captive weak women weighed down with sins, being led on by various desires, always learning and NEVER able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.
      God's gift is free...
        • Matthew 10:8 LSB — “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
        • Acts 8:20 LSB — But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you supposed you could obtain the gift of God with money!
      • So, how is one with truth taught?
        • John 6:45 LSB — “It is written in the prophets, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT BY GOD.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father👉comes to Me.
          • Isaiah 54:13 ASV — And all thy children shall be taught of 👉Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
        • 1 John 2:26-27 LSB — These things I have written to you about those who are trying to deceive you. And as for you, the anointing whom you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is TRUE and is not a lie, and just as He has taught you, abide in Him.
      All Religion is false...Babylon will fall. 
      The false prophet and the antichrist...buying and selling.
        • 2 Thessalonians 2:7 LSB — For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
        • Revelation 18:21-23 LSB — Then a strong angel picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer. “And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer; and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery
          • Mark 11:15-17 LSB — Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves; and He was not permitting anyone to carry merchandise through the temple. And He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL THE NATIONS’? But you have made it a ROBBERS’ DEN.” (Jer 7:11)
        • Revelation 16:13-15 LSB — Then I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. (“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his garments, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”)
      I pray for ALL MANKIND. Let all you do be done in LOVE...not because you have to but because you WANT to. Please avoid the false teachings of religion and start searching for the true God that Jesus tells you about (John 17:1-3), the Almighty ~ Jehovah.
      • 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 LSB — I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
      • 1 Timothy 4:10 LSB — For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living Godwho is the Savior ðŸ‘‰of all men, 👉especially of believers.




      Galatians 5:25 LSB — 
      If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk in step with the Spirit.


      May you be blessed...

      True FAITH ~ Man vs God

      True faith is putting FULL FAITH in God.

       [Mat 19:25-26 RSV] 

      When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?" But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

      This post will be about my latest experience of a hospital visit to the ER on 10/22/23 and will be directed at my family, loved ones and the many who claim to believe in the salvation in Christ. 

        • [2Ti 3:14-15 RSV] But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the 👉sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

      First, I will share an excerpt from a previous blog post in March 2023.

      Blog post excerpt:

      "As of January, I learned that I had a silent stroke. The timing of when it happened is unknown, but they don't believe it was on the day I was sent to the hospital from the doctor's office on January 3, but it's believed to be recent. That day the hospital didn't bother doing the proper testing, and I was sent home. 

      My personal doctor had ordered some tests to be done on the 16th; MRI and MRA, it revealed that I have cerebral small vessel disease. I had a silent stroke, along with TIA: Transient Ischemic Attack, mini strokes that I continue to experience until this very day. Mini strokes typically lead to, and are precursors, to a massive stroke. I'm told these are brought on from my migraines. I had known about the Chiari 1 (herniation) in the brain since 2004, it's unfortunate but doctors are now learning they don't fully comprehend how each individual is affected by it, many avoid operating on it regardless of the symptoms because of the complications it can cause."

      End excerpt.

      As mentioned in the previous blog post above I've been dealing with mini strokes. I recently had another one during a women's retreat. It began on a Friday, and I had left unable to finish the retreat. On Saturday it was bed rest for me, as it does take time before I'm on my feet again.

      Sunday morning, I felt great. Started cleaning up a little, sweeping the floor and suddenly I felt winded again. I didn't have a mini stroke, but I could feel the pressure in my chest and brain, no headache though. Realizing I'm not out of the woods yet, I go back to bed rest. By nightfall my blood pressure went dangerously high again. My family and some close friends were insistent that I go to the ER. I explained how they won't do anything unless I'm in a full-blown stroke, learned this from previous visits. They insisted anyway. As expected, the ER could only mask the problem with blood pressure meds, refuse to do MRI/MRA for insurance reasons and was told I needed to see private physician for further testing.

      As usual, I left the hospital not resolving anything. They asked me to take blood pressure medicine. I don't typically have high blood pressure, so the medication (1/2 of the lowest dose) brought my pressure down to dangerous low numbers.

      • Why am I sharing this with you now?
      Through this entire ordeal, I've suffered much and continue to suffer. Not a single surgeon I visited has helped me. I've been passed from doctor to doctor and none wanting to specify the cause. Having no doubt, myself, that my brain herniation (Chiari 1) is the probable cause because the cerebral tonsils are literally putting pressure on (choking) my brainstem, the brain surgeon admitting it's possibly the cause, yet not one doctor wants to claim it or do anything about it thus far. 

      They want to prescribe medications (poison) for each symptom instead, which in turn causes additional complications. Masking the problem with poisonous medicines instead of taking on the problem itself.

      I understand. It's a dangerous situation and they're not capable because they don't know enough...as much as some like to play the role of God, they're not God.
        • [Jon 2:5 ASV] The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head
      • So, where does that leave me?
      It leaves me waiting on my death as my body continues to deteriorate from the constant pressure on my brainstem. My circulatory system (numbness/tingling), vision, hearing and breathing, just to name a few, have all been affected and are getting worse. 

      Thankfully, I do put my FULL FAITH in God and in Jesus, so I don't fear it. It is God who saves me through Jesus Christ.
        • [Mar 8:34 RSV] And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
      By allowing God to guide me and trusting in him, he has sent me to Jesus...
        • [Pro 3:5-6 ASV] Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:   In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths

      Since returning in 2019, Jesus has revealed the Father...

        • [Mat 11:25-27 RSV] At that time Jesus declared, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
      I have no doubt that the following is true...
        • [Mat 11:28-29 RSV] Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
      My faith remains strong. I put my faith in the Father, and in Jesus Christ, not man. It is through him that I am saved, not by the flesh but by the Spirit... for eternity.

      To my beautiful family, friends and anyone interested...I AM AT PEACE. When my life in the flesh ends, I won't be suffering anymore, and I will be saved for eternity by the Spirit. Please be at peace with it and trust in God. That is what true faith is, knowing that God has got this. For man these things are impossible but for God it is nothing. 
        • Jeremiah 32:27 ASV — Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
        • [Mat 10:28 ASV] And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
      I know all will be okay for mankind and for myself. It's a process and it's all about God's timing. I've said this many times before...

       ~ "Faith in God is Faith in His Timing" ~
      Trust in it.


      That is what true faith is. In the end that is where my faith is...with God, the Father and with Jesus Christ. I pray that God gives you the peace he has given me. I'm grateful that there are a few close to me that somewhat comprehend this, maybe it will help others too.
      • What is transhumanism?
        • [Mic 4:10-11 ASV] Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon: there shalt thou be rescued; there will Jehovah redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see [our desire] upon Zion.
      • What is the tower of Babel?
        • [Gen 11:4-5 ASV] And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
          • [2Th 2:3-4 RSV] Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
      • Is it not the mind?
        • [Zec 6:13 ASV] even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
        • [Mal 3:1 ASV] Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts.
          • [Jhn 15:26 ASV] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
          • [Rev 22:16 ASV] I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
      • What is Religion...buying and selling?
        • [Mat 21:12 ASV] And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
        • [Mar 14:58 ASV] We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.
          • [1Co 3:16 ASV] Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
      You Know NOT the Scriptures...

      Blog post excerpt: 

      "Hebrews 13:6 ASV — So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?

                    

      Homo Deus: "What's next?"
      • Upgrade humans into gods.
      • Not in the literary metaphor, in the literal sense.
      • Create and design life according to our wishes.
      • In Genisis...we are trying to acquire this divine ability to ourselves.
      • Reaching beyond the gods.
      • Gods like Jehovah can create only organic things.
      • Humans are trying to do better than that.
                  "Gods like Jehovah can create only organic things."

      Well, what he forgot to mention is that without God, he wouldn't exist to come up with the abomination that they have conjured up. This is what he says the plan is, I know for fact it's already put into action. With all that's in front of you, there will be those who believe and sadly, those who don't."

      End excerpt. 

      I truly do love you all...

      [Eph 6:11-12 RSV] 
      Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

      May you have...

      Faithful Witness ~ Speaking Against the Spirit

       What have I learned?

      1 Corinthians 14:2 RSV -
      For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God;
      for no one understands him,
      but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

      One thing I learned is that no one will ever understand my connection to God. He is my Father, in the truest sense of the word. Our stories are all different, just as our connection to God will be different. No one can tell me who I am, no one... but the Father has. (1 Cor 14:1, 2) I'm still learning and trying to understand why things have to be done the way they are, and why it's taking so long. One thing I do know for sure is that we ALL need to trust in God's timing.

        • [2Pe 3:9 RSV] The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.


      I've learned to "Just Be" and wait. 

      Regardless of what many may think of me and how they've made me feel... I have forgiven them for how they've treated me. 

      I've accepted that I wasn't, and won't be liked by many, especially the many who call themselves "believers". I've realized that their dislike of me is usually out of fear of the unknown or because they can't accept that they could be wrong about what they believe, many having their belief for most of their life, if not all of it. For whatever reason...be it pride or ignorance, they chose to stop knocking and accepted the spirit of error as their truth.

      I've learned to love them anyway... love the sinner, not the sin. 

      One reason many believers get upset with me is because I teach that not all are chosen...well, I don't think they realize that NOT ALL ARE CALLED either.

        • [Mat 22:14 ASV] For 👉 many are called, but few chosen.

      There are many who claim to have a calling from God, I'm sure many of you do, but that does not mean you are chosen. God is the one to decide who is chosen.

        • [1Co 4:5 ASV] Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and 👉then shall each man have his praise from God.
      • Is there a remnant that gets saved?
        • [Joe 2:32 ASV] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, 👉and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call.
        • [Zec 8:13 ASV] And it shall come to pass that, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israelso will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing. Fear not, [but] let your hands be strong.
      • Is that who Jesus came to save?
          • [Mat 15:24 ASV] But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
        • What do we know about the lost sheep from the house of Israel?
          • [Eze 9:4 ASV] And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.
          • [John 10:7, 11, 14-15 ASV] Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. ... I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. ... I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me, even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
          • [Rev 7:3 ASV] saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
            • [Rev 7:4 ASV] And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
          • [Rev 14:1 ASV] And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
        • Does that mean no one else gets saved?
          • [Dan 12:10 ASV] Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.
            • [Rev 7:14 ASV] And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
          • [John 10:16 ASV] And other sheep I have, which are not of this foldthem also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
          • [John 12:47 ASV] And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
        For those who claim they have a true calling from God...
        • Did you test the spirits to be sure it was from God?
          • [1Jo 4:1 ASV] 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
        • Where does the antichrist sit?
          • [2Th 2:3-4 RSV] 👉Let NO ONE deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
        • Where is God's temple?
          • [1Co 3:16 RSV] Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
        • How many of you follow doctrines (precepts) of men, then say it's from God?
          • [Mat 15:3 RSV] He answered them, "And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
        • What is the commandment... is it part of the ten commandments?
          • [Exo 20:12 ASV] Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
          • [Mat 15:4 RSV] For God commanded, 👉'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die.'
        • What is the ONLY SIN that's not forgiven?
          • [Mat 12:32 RSV] And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
        • What does this tell you?
        If one speaks against the father and mother, it's the same as speaking against the Holy Spirit... they will die.
        • Is it an earthly father and mother?
        The one sin to incur death is to speak against the Holy Spirit...father and mother. 
        • So, is it fair to say the father and mother are both heavenly and earthly?
        • What does it mean to be anointed? 
        We know Jesus Christ is the firstborn of the new creation, therefore he is the Father of the new creation. He was a man with the Holy Spirit. It is through him that one is born again. He is the firstborn who represents the Father... it was Jesus that revealed the Father. 
          • [Act 10:38 RSV] how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
          • [Col 1:15-18 RSV] He is the image of the invisible God, the👉 first-born of all creation; for 👉in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent.
        So, if God made him the father of the new Covenant...
        • Who is the mother?
          • [Pro 8:4, 12, 22-23, 31 ASV] Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men.  ... I wisdom have made prudence my dwelling, And find out knowledge [and] discretion.  ... Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.  I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.  ... Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men. 
          • [John 1:2 ASV] The same was in the beginning with God.
          • [Gal 4:26 RSV] But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
          • [Rev 22:16-17 ASV] I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star. And the Spirit and the bride ðŸ‘‰say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely.
        She is the woman in Revelation 12. She is one of the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11: one is in Spirit {heaven/father}, the other 👉in the flesh {earth/mother}. (2 Cor 12:1-4) That is how heaven and earth testify and pass away... then there will be a New Heaven and New Earth.
          • [Deu 30:19 ASV] I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;
          • [Mat 24:29, 33, 35 RSV] "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; ... So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. ... Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
          • [Rev 21:1 RSV] Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
        • Who is anyone to question God and who HE has, or has not, anointed? 
          • [Mat 20:23 RSV] He said to them, "You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
        • Isn't it written... the image of God is both male and female?
          • [Gen 1:26-27 ASV] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he 👉him; male and female created he them. 👈
          • [Zec 4:14 ASV] Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
          • [Rom 9:14-16 RSV] What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." 👉So it depends not upon man's will or exertion, 👉but upon God's mercy.
            • [Rom 9:25 RSV] As indeed he says in Hose'a, "Those who were not my people I will call 'my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call 'my beloved.'"
          • [Rev 21:2 ASV] And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
        It started with Jesus Christ (A) in the flesh who was raised in the spirit and sat at the right hand of the Most High God... [Heb 1:3 RSV] He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

        ...and it ends with Jesus Christ and his bride (Z). 
          • [1Ti 2:15 ASV] but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
          • [Gal 6:17 ASV] Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.
          • [Rev 1:17-18 RSV] When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
          • [Rev 22:16 RSV] "I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star."
            • [Jhn 14:26 ASV] But the Comforter, [even] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.
            • [Jhn 15:26 ASV] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
            • [Jhn 16:7 ASV] Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.
        She is in the flesh and anointed by the Spirit. She is a witness and gives testimony, she represents the Mother, just as Jesus represents the Father.

        Revelation 22:20-21 RSV - 
        He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. 
        Come, Lord Jesus! 
        The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.


        The following verse says it all... only those truly awakened in the Spirit will understand and can sin against the Spirit. It is a SPRIRITUAL WAR, not against mankind. There is an elect among mankind (in the flesh) that will be fighting in this spiritual war. 

        In the end, it is to save mankind.
          • [Eph 6:12 RSV] For we are not contending against ðŸ‘‰flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
        Armageddon
          • [Rev 16:13-14 ASV] And I saw [coming] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
          • [2Pe 3:8 ASV] But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
          • [Rev 20:7-8, 15 ASV] And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. ... And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
        So, for those of you who love to claim from the pulpit that your ALL are anointed and chosen by God, you clearly do not understand the scriptures and are deceiving millions. 
          • [Mat 7:14 ASV] For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
        For those who teach ALL to partake... you know not the scriptures. 
          • [1Co 11:27 RSV] Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner ðŸ‘‰will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.
        For the many of you who boast about how you are anointed and chosen... you know not the scriptures.
          • [Pro 27:1-2 ASV] Boast not thyself of tomorrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.  Let another man praise thee, and 👉not thine own mouth; A stranger, and not thine own lips
        The truly anointed ones will understand. 
        Be ready...
          • [Psa 45:14 ASV] She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: 👉The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee. 
        Always test the spirits...
          • [Mat 24:24 RSV] For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, 👉if possible, even the elect.
        Stay alert, don't be foolish, at the time of the end only half make it in...
          • [Mat 25:1-2 ASV] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
        For the foolish who have truly been called... forever losing the free gift of the Holy Spirit. Being exalted...making it about self, instead of God. (Many called... FEW CHOSEN.)
          • [Heb 6:4-6 RSV] For it is 👉impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and 👉have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they 👉then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.
            • [2Co 11:2-4 ASV] For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you [as] a pure virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, 👉whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him].
            • [2Co 11:13 ASV] For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.
        To all others... 

        Please be a part of the great multitude. Let go of your pride, humble yourself. Rid yourself of worldly things...focus on what's natural, nature, etc., and not on technology, artificial intelligence. Most importantly, help those in need. It will get worse, much worse, before it gets better. 

        Rise above it all and do EVERYTHING in LOVE.
          • [Eze 37:10 ASV] So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
          • [Dan 12:10 ASV] Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.
          • [Rev 7:9-10 ASV] After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of [all] tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.
        If you are getting paid to teach the Word of God, you're not doing it for God, you're doing it for yourself. Donations are to help those in need and NOT to USE the ones in need to support you. (Mark 12:43, 44; James 1:27)

        Heed the warning...
          • [Mat 6:24 NIV] "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. 👉You cannot serve both God and money.
          • [Act 8:20 RSV] But Peter said to him, "Your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
          • [Jas 3:1 ASV] Be not many [of you] teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment. 👈

        May you be truly blessed with understanding...

        TRUTH ~ What Is It? The Bible or LOVE?

         What does it mean to have Truth?

        1 John 4:8 ASV — 

        He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.


        This will probably be one of the most important posts I ever make. I'd like to remind ALL it's not against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12), but mankind does have the right to choose, as all have freewill. In the end you will have to choose between the God of Heaven (Pure Love) or the God of the World.
          • Ephesians 6:11 RSV — Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
        • Did you ever stop to question the Bible?
        • Did you ever wonder why it's so difficult for many to read?
        MOST IMPORTANTLY...
        • Did you ever notice it's written for the believer and about the believer?
        When reading the letter (scripture), it says it was written by man but inspired by God. 
        • Yet doesn't the Bible tell you not to trust in man?
          • Jeremiah 17:5 ASV — Thus saith Jehovah: 👉 Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.
          • Psalm 118:8 ASV — It is better to take refuge in Jehovah 👉 Than to put confidence in man.
          • 1 Corinthians 2:5 RSV — that your faith might 👉 not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
          • Ephesians 5:6 RSV — Let 👉 no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
          • Doesn't the Bible teach the letter (scripture) kills?
            • 2 Corinthians 3:6 ASV — who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the👉 spirit giveth life.
            So now let's CAREFULLY read the verse that says scripture is inspired by God using two different translations.
              • ASV - 2 Timothy 3:16 ASV — Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:
              • RSV - 2 Timothy 3:16 RSV — All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
            • Did you catch the difference?
            When read properly you see that it refers to the scriptures divinely inspired that can also be profitable for teaching, etc., it DOES NOT SAY all scripture 👉is👈divinely inspired by God. In other words, the scriptures that are inspired by God can help you in several ways as seen in the verse above and by telling you stories and future events, but ALL scriptures are NOT divinely inspired and that's why the letter (scripture) kills. Religion (churches) have been deceived by this.

            And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
            — Luke 8:10

            I've been told my teachings and understanding are incoherent...if you are not in the Spirit, they will be. 
              • 2 Peter 3:15-16 RSV — And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable TWIST to their own destruction, 👉as they do the other scriptures.
              • 1 John 4:6 RSV — We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
              • 1 John 5:7 RSV — And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
            Let's further investigate how the letter (scripture) kills...
            • Who wrote the Bible?
            • Who translated it?
            • Do we have the original writings?
            • If God's hand was ALWAYS in it, in ALL of it, would you need this scripture?
              • Revelation 22:18-19 RSV — I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one ADDS to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if any one TAKES AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
            It's common sense. All scripture is NOT inspired by God, it's written and translated by man. God reveals scripture to those who truly GO TO HIM in love with NOTHING TO GAIN... for any who want truth, no matter what the cost. For those whose PRIDE does not get in the way of understanding. They DON'T GET PAID, and they give freely from the heart. The scriptures inspired by God are secretly revealed by the Spirit, as mentioned in the following verses.
              • Luke 8:10 RSV — he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
              • 1 Corinthians 2:7, 10 ASV — but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: — God has revealed to us👉 through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
            • Did you ever stop to think that is why the Beroean Jews examined the scriptures?
              • Acts 17:11 RSV — Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessaloni'ca, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the scriptures daily ðŸ‘‰to see if these things were so.
            • Why is this so important?
              • 2 Corinthians 13:5 RSV — Examine yourselves, to see whether you are holding to your faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?--👉unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
              • Ephesians 4:14 RSV — so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.
            • What's a perfect example of this?
              • Jeremiah 23:26-27 ASV — How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart? that think to cause my people to 👉forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgat my name for Baal.
            • Whose name is it referring to?
              • Jeremiah 23:29 ASV — Is not my word like fire? saith 👉 Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
            • Would you know this by reading the following verse from this version of the Bible?
                • Did God inspire MAN to remove his name?
                • If so, where's the verse?
              • Jeremiah 23:29 RSV — Is not my word like fire, says the 👉 LORD, and like a hammer which breaks the rock in pieces?
            • Is LORD God's name?
            • Did he lie when he inspired this verse?
              • Exodus 3:15 ASV — And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, JEHOVAH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is MY NAME FOREVER, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
            Yet, you won't find God's name in MOST "accepted" newer translations, even the newer translations of the ASV have removed it. It's the preferred choice of the Church, it's what they use to teach. That's why you RARELY hear of the Father being spoken of in the churches. Scripture has been manipulated and TWISTED to fit the narrative, a false narrative. That narrative has been sold and most of you have bought into it.
            • Is it any wonder why many are so confused?
            • Why many believe Jesus is Jehovah, the Almighty?
            • Doesn't it make you wonder why translators continue to remove something of GREAT IMPORTANCE, like God's name?
            • Do they have a verse to prove they should remove it?
            • Doesn't it bother you?
            • If not, why?
            • If so, why read a translation without it?
            • Why preach using verses without it?
            If you are preaching using verses without God's name in scripture, you are NOT preaching for God, you are preaching a FALSE narrative of scripture. Most of you have been warned about this, but you do it anyway.

            God's name is Jehovah, not LORD. He is ONE. He works by the Spirit; it is THROUGH Jesus that he is revealed.
              • Deuteronomy 6:4 ASV — Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is ONE JEHOVAH:
              • Matthew 11:27 RSV — All things have been delivered to me 👉by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
              • Romans 12:2 RSV — Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
            Here's another example of deception, among countless, when it comes to religion. Ask yourself this simple but very important question...
            • Was Jesus born on December 25? 
            • Is it 👉deceiving to use that date for his birth if you know it's NOT TRUE?
            • Do many believe it?
            • Who practices this?
            I've heard every excuse in the book as to why you do it, regardless... it does not change that people are DECEIVED by it. I have no problem going to church to hear the story of Christ and his birth, because it's a beautiful story, but I will NEVER practice what's attached to it, because it's starts on a 👉 FALSE PRETENSE... 👉a LIE ~ DECEPTION, and you the Church do a great job of selling it.

            The above is just a small example of how deceived believers are. EVERY RELIGION in the WORLD is guilty of it, in one form or another... the Bible calls it "precepts of men".
              • Matthew 15:8-9 RSV — 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'"
            The church (religion) has been deceived and deceives so many. They've dipped their hands into the Bible from the start. It's why many think it's okay to use the Bible as a weapon, to argue with others who believe in it or who don't. It's why the church (religion) is so DIVIDED. 

            Most, if not all, have ALLOWED yourselves to be taught by scripture that kills, to be taught by the spirit of error... a false God. You make it about YOU and what you want to accept, instead of what SHOULD be accepted. That's pride and exaltation, it's not receiving the righteousness of Christ, it's self-righteousness.
              • Acts 7:51 RSV — "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.
            • Who was Jesus on earth?
            • God or a man?
              • Romans 1:22-23 RSV — Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles.
              • 1 Timothy 2:5 RSV — For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the 👉man Christ Jesus,
            Hence why Jesus always warned about the religious leaders and scribes who were WELL VERSED in scripture yet did not understand. 
              • Matthew 16:11 ASV — How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
              • Matthew 23:23 RSV — "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
            Many of you take your perception of scripture as truth... never realizing if you do ANYTHING in an unloving way, then justify it in your mind by using scripture, you are actually following the false God... and the Bible itself that has become your God (idolatry) because you follow 👉IT and not the TRUE GOD.

            Most of my life, I've known this to be true from those who say they believe in God, but never understood it...hypocritical to say the least. 
            • How can so many study the scriptures, say they believe in it, yet not see what they do is wrong?
            • Why do they justify their behavior and act as if it's from God?
            • Don't they see how hypocritical it is to say one thing and do another?
            • Don't they see how pointing the finger at another is bad, don't they have a mirror?
            • Don't they see that soft shunning in any way is just as bad as shunning?
              • Ecclesiastes 5:1 ASV — Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.
            The TRUE HOUSE of GOD is his WORD... it's not a building AND it's revealed by the SPIRIT, not man. If you do not have the Spirit in you, you WILL NOT understand.
              • 1 Corinthians 2:13 RSV — And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths ðŸ‘‰to those who possess the Spirit.
                • Some will get it, but MOST WILL NOT. (Many called, few chosen. - Matt 22:14)
            I'm taught by God, not man...
              • 1 John 2:26-27 RSV — I write this to you about those who would deceive you; but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have 👉no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him.
            Most continue teaching and following a God I don't recognize in scripture. It's taken me a long time to understand this (up to 50 years of age), but the TRUE GOD has since revealed it to me... he's now helped me to understand it.
              • Psalm 119:104-106;108-110 ASV — Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way. NUN. 👉Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path. I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will observe thy righteous ordinances... Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, 👉O Jehovah, And teach me thine ordinances. My soul is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.
            If someone comes to you in a loving way and tries to reveal things to you in scripture, do not think YOU are above them, that YOUR knowledge supersedes theirs. God will use ANYONE to teach you, it can be a "believer" or not. There is ALWAYS a lesson to be learned. I'm still learning. If you turn your back on them, you've turned your back on God and have become EXALTED with your own understanding.

            Loving your neighbor means just that, love your neighbor. Don't do it because they believe like you or because you have something to gain, do it out of genuine care and want. 

            Be TRUE and lead by example, helping others to do the same. Religion is the reason why my twins stay away from God and the Bible. They see you (religion) as the example and don't like it. That in itself says a lot. I understand this all too well, because I lived it myself. 

            RELIGIONS are hypocritical and false to its power...
            That's why you're so divided.

            I've said this before, I know atheists who have more faith in God then you the "believer" (let that sink in), because they try to live a life of love and kindness as best as they can, giving back often...never doing it for a reward but out of true want. God is love. If you want to teach anything, teach that, not by your words, but by your actions... by practicing it yourself. 

            Most of you reveal your TRUE SELF when protecting what you believe because you follow a Bible (idolatry), not God's Spirit. That's why your faith cannot come before LOVE. (1 Cor 13:2) God sends people to you for a reason, unfortunately you think your understanding is above theirs.

            I've heard it said that you need to rely on a religion with solid foundations (most believe this of themselves) and I strongly disagree: No man-made church has a solid foundation... NONE. The only ones who believe this are the very ones that think you should be relying on man, on them and others like them. 

            These may not see it in themselves, but they are exalted...
              • Revelation 3:17 RSV — For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
            As I said before "soft" shunning (keeping one quiet), is still shunning, what's sad is that you THINK you are nice about it, and that your behavior is acceptable to God. I see many "believers" do it on social media, I've seen it happen to people I know and don't know, and it happens to me quite often...all church leaders have done it (been to many denominations), countless Bible studies and in social media groups. It's all about you and what you believe.

            It's not a Bible study if all must agree with you, that's conformity, tickling of ears and SELFISH. That's thinking you have the answers...that's what cults do, that's what religion does. You've become complacent and stopped knocking, making it about you and your understanding, as you continue to follow the letter (scripture) that kills...a false God. (2 Cor 3:6)
              • Galatians 5:13-14 RSV — For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but THROUGH LOVE be servants of one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, 👉"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."👈
            You KNOW NOT the scriptures...
              • 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 RSV — Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren, not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let 👉 NO ONE DECIEVE YOU 👉in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

            TRUST NO ONE... this is clear in scripture. 
            You should not listen to ANY who tell you to go to them.

            Isaiah 48:5 RSV — 
            I declared them to you from of old, before they came to pass 
            I announced them to you, lest you should say, 
            'My idol did them, my graven image and my molten image commanded them.'

            Be aware of any teaching you to rely on MAN... the church (religion). Those who think they are well versed in scripture and believe the lies they sell.
              • 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 RSV — For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
            Here's another PERFECT example of CHURCH DECEPTION...

            The church teaches you to partake in the body and blood of Christ, but what you should be doing is examining yourself first, testing yourself, to see if you are worthy of it. Something most churches DON'T TEACH you to do. 

            If you are doing things in your life that you KNOW you shouldn't be doing... you shouldn't eat the bread and drink the cup, it's that simple. Don't take my word for it, there's a very important verse these churches never mention during communion.

            You should be asking...
            • Why?
              • 1 Corinthians 11:27 RSV — Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner ðŸ‘‰will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.
            • Are they TRUE teachers?
              • James 3:1 ASV — Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.
              • How does one partake in an unworthy manner?
                • Proverbs 6:17-19 ASV — Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood; A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.
                  1. haughty eyes
                  2. lying tongue
                  3. shedding innocent blood
                  4. wicked heart
                  5. mischievous
                  6. false witness ~ liar
                  7. sowing discord 👈 (Religion - division)
                • Colossians 3:5, 8-9 RSV — Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. — But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices.
                  1. fornication
                  2. impurity
                  3. passion
                  4. evil desire
                  5. covetousness (yearn to possess or have)
                  6. anger
                  7. malice
                  8. slander (talking about others in a negative way - gossip)
                  9. foul language (cursing)
                  10. lying 
              True love (faith) will avoid all of the above... no one is perfect, but you TRULY can do your best to avoid it, and yes, it can be done. If you find you still need help in any of those areas, simply pray to the Father (Prov 3:5,6) the God of Lord Jesus (Eph 1:17) with a genuine want and he will guide you. 

              Don't be foolish and avoid the churches who request that you partake with them...most of you don't have true understanding of what you are doing. They're luring you in with wonderful words then deceiving you... most of you, paying them to do it. (Rev 16:13,14)
                • Revelation 18:7-8 RSV — As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in her heart she says, 'A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,' so shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."
              God's gift is free...
              • How does one partake in a worthy manner?
                • Galatians 5:22-25 RSV — But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 👉If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
                  1. love
                  2. joy
                  3. peace
                  4. patience
                  5. kindness
                  6. goodness
                  7. faithfulness
                  8. gentleness
                  9. self-control 👈
              Please stop letting the church (harlot) deceive you... you've been seduced by her teachings, by her sorcery, she's false. Babylon is all Religion, and it will fall. (Rev 18:4, 23; 19:2)

              Rely on the Father with a genuine heart, through Jesus he will be revealed to you, or keep relying on man paid by Caesar (money/government) to deceive you... freewill.

              Proverbs 3:5-6 ASV — 
              Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.

              When I go to a Church it's not to be taught, I go there to edify as many as I can regardless of who they are, I judge no one by what they believe and the God they follow and love all, in or out of the church, and PRAY they see the error of their way. If you've been deceived by the church the fault is yours, because you relied on Religion to guide you, instead of God. 

              The Bible is clear on this, keep it holy or God will NOT be in you. (1 Cor 3:16, 17)
                • Acts 7:48, 49 RSV — Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands; as the prophet says, 'Heaven is my throne, and earth my footstool. What house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?
              • Spoken of where?
                • Isaiah 66:1-3 ASV — Thus saith 👉 Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest? For all these things hath my hand made, and so all these things came to be, saith 👉Jehovah: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word. ...Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations:
              This is the One True God that Jesus spoke of (John 17:1-3), that YOU ignore...
                • Isaiah 6:3 ASV — And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is 👉Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
                • Revelation 4:8 RSV — And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all round and within, and day and night they never cease to sing, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"
              Start learning to love one another. STOP making it about religion, use the money to help the needy, not YOURSELVES, as a form of income to TEACH. God's gift is FREE. Start making it about humans, ALL PEOPLE... all are in this together, all are in need, and all are sinners. Be the better person because you want to, not because you have to.
                • Luke 17:10 - AMP So you too, when you have done everything that was assigned and commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants [undeserving of praise or a reward, for we 👉HAVE NOT GONE beyond our obligation]; we have merely done what we ought to do.’”
              I don't need a Bible to show me who the One True God is because HE is with me. It's been revealed to me through the Spirit, through Christ. I don't need you (religion/man) to confirm it for me.
              • Matthew 11:25 RSV — At that time Jesus declared, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes;
              May the Father (Jehovah) through Christ bring you...
