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...
