From Prison to Freedom...Third Day

He will make us alive after two days;

He will raise us up on the third day,

That we may live before Him.

— Hosea 6:2

Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to 

when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, 

“The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, 

nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘There!’ 

For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

— Luke 17:20-21

This is probably going to be one of the MOST IMPORTANT blog posts that I ever share. It's been broken down in three parts. This war is NOT against humans it's against disobedient spirits who want (need) humans to do their dirty work. Sadly, most humans oblige, even the "so-called" believers do. Soon God's Spirit will be poured out and you will need to know what to do to NOT RESIST the Holy Spirit. In the end, God's plan is to save all mankind.

For you to comprehend what is written here you MUST have an open mind and heart. If you read this with your presuppositions, you will not understand. Your indoctrination (deeply embedded weeds/tares) will take over. Even if at this moment it doesn't make sense to you...TRUST in GOD AND TRUST in HIS TIMING. Right now, seed is being dropped, if it falls on fertile ground, God will make it grow.

Please be HUMBLE and ask God the FATHER (Jehovah/Yahweh) to give you a soft heart. Please don't ASSUME you already have it...

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your 
uncleanness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you;
and I will 👉REMOVE the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
— Ezekiel 36:25-26

Here's a quick summary...

It's been quite some time since my last post. When God slows me down, I listen and obey. It's all about HIS timing, not mine. One thing I've learned in these past years (since 2019) is that no matter how much you read scripture, no matter how smart you think you are, no matter how high of an IQ you have, no matter how much schooling you have in the Bible, you can NEVER understand God's Word unless HE ALLOWS IT. 

Here we go...

But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation eagerly seeks for a sign; and yet 👉NO SIGN WILL BE GIVEN to it but the SIGN OF JONAH the prophet; for just as Jonah was THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights 👉IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH. The men of Nineveh will stand up with THIS GENERATION at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. — Matthew 12:39-41

• Can one be on earth and in heaven at the same time?

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, so that He might bring you to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but👉 made alive in the spirit; in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.
— 1 Peter 3:18-20

Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience to God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, 👉after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

— 1 Peter 3:21-22

For to this the gospel has been proclaimed even 👉to those who are now dead, so that though they were judged in the flesh as men, they live in the spirit according to the will of God. 

— 1 Peter 4:6

Between Heaven (spirit) and Earth (flesh)...

• Could that be where the third heaven is? (2 Corinthians 12:2-4)
• Could that be what it means to be in Christ? (2 Corinthians 5:17)
• Could that be what it means to be caught up (raptured)? (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
• Could that be how one judges angels? (1 Corinthians 6:1-3)
• Could that be the first resurrection? (Revelation 20:4-5)

Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—👉UNLESS indeed YOU FAIL THE TEST? — 2 Corinthians 13:5

• Was the temple (body) of Jesus resurrected... as many claim with the false tradition of Easter? 

who have GONE ASTRAY from the TRUTH saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.

— 2 Timothy 2:18

• Has it been three days and three nights?
• Are we still in the third day?

The Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to build this sanctuary, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body. So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; 👉and they BELIEVED THE SCRIPTURE and the word which Jesus had spoken.
— John 2:20-22

 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day 👉ACCORDING to the Scriptures, — 1 Corinthians 15:4

•  According to what scripture?

He will *make us alive after two days; *(awaken - Jesus appears; see image below)

He will *raise us up on the third day,   *(caught up "raptured" - Acts 2, 9:1-19, 10)

That we may live before Him.

— Hosea 6:2

*Archetype*

(see image below)

1. Matthew 28:1, 8-9 ➡️Psalm 68:11 (Great host of women)
2. Mark 16:12              ➡️1 Corinthians 15:45 (Spirit)
3. Luke 24:16, 35        ➡️Joel 2:28-32 Those obedient: no more fasting of God's word. (True Holy Spirit received)

(Methodology)...
4. John 20:14-16, 19, 22, 26 ➡️Psalm 45:14 Mary first to see Jesus, later awake virgins see Jesus by spirit, lastly the unbelieving, only by sight "those doubting" on the 8th day.

God raised Him up on the THIRD DAY and granted that He appear, NOT TO ALL PEOPLE, 

but to witnesses who were 👉CHOSEN BEFORHAND by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

— Acts 10:40-41

Resurrection happens in SPIRIT. It happens on the THIRD DAY; first and last Jesus Christ (head/feet -spirit/bride) then the remnant (John 10:4-6 ~ true believers) first resurrection (Revelation 7:1-8), chosen before they're born as humans. Soon, it will be all flesh (John 10:16; Revelation 7:9-17).

You fool! That which you sow does not come to life 👉unless it dies; ... But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. ... There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

— 1 Corinthians 15:36, 38, 40

• And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to 👉die once and after this comes judgment, — Hebrews 9:27

Be HAPPY with whatever God has chosen for you...

On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? Will the thing molded say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this”? Or does not the potter have authority over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? ... and in order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory— even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles?
— Romans 9:20-21, 23-24

For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

— 1 Timothy 4:10

But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine. ... For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and our Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

— Titus 2:1, 11-14

Many of you follow the letter (Bible) instead of the true Spirit of God. Following the deception of man (self-made religion) ...never testing the spirits and searching out truth per God's will, instead you RESIST HIS SPIRIT and follow your own truth, your own wisdom, your own desires... man-made traditions and creeds. It's deception, and it runs deep.

In turn, you've turned away those God has sent to you.

But to us God revealed them through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

— 1 Corinthians 2:10

Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant, NOT OF THE LETTER but of the Spirit; 👉for the LETTER KILLS, but the 👉SPIRIT GIVES LIFE. 

— 2 Corinthians 3:5-6

• Which Spirit is that? 
• Is it Christ?

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam 👉BECAME a life-giving spirit.

— 1 Corinthians 15:45

You can read the Bible until you are blue in the face and be so convinced of your theology, yet, in the end, MOST believers in EVERY BELIEF SYSTEM will learn just how wrong they were. 

• What then?
• Will you rebel?

When you are too smart for your own good. Claiming to be humble but PROVING otherwise. The Bible is a symbolic book that has been corrupted by man and unless God chooses to reveal it to you, you will not know the true meaning behind it.

• Why? 
• Well...how's your heart condition?

The Bible reveals your true heart...

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are uncovered and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we have an account to give.

— Hebrews 4:12-13

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

God's kingdom already exists and is within. (John 10:3-5) Only those with the proper heart condition will understand. Many claim to have a good heart, yet, when presented with something they disagree with, their true heart condition is revealed...they just can't see it in themselves. 

I can only speak on my own experiences. What I've witnessed from countless "so-called believers" is surface love, it's not true love of neighbor. It becomes about THEIR faith and not true faith-LOVE in God, which has no fear and truly has LOVE for their neighbor with no conditions. Willing to discuss on EQUAL TERMS; God's Word.

NOTE: Please click this Facebook Post for more details.

Sadly, I see many thinking they're being kind when they dismiss people for SIMPLY BELIEVING DIFFERENTLY, that somehow, God approves of them doing so. Too blind to see the deception in themselves, exalted and being PARTIAL to those in their belief. 

Some even believe that they're justified by "allowing" different believers into their church, while keeping them at a distance, at bay, not "allowing" them certain church privileges, unless one follows their traditions and/or accepts their creeds. Never seeing how that is the epitome of control. 

IMPORTANT: One reveals their faith/love by their actions from the heart within, not by using their mind to act it out. Please learn the difference. Also, true faith/love doesn't accept doctrines and creeds of men...they go directly to God. 

True faith/love knows it's spiritual...

For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of 👉DISHONEST GAIN.

— Titus 1:10-11

They profess to know God, but by their works they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and unfit for any good work.

— Titus 1:16

You are humans who SHOULD work with other humans...meaning sinners working with other sinners. Not becoming self-righteous humans: exalted humans who exalt their own faith to be true and ABOVE another's...believing you have the right to overpower another because of your own belief. 

ALL RELIGIONS are GUILTY of this...making it about their exalted self-belief, false doctrines and creeds, overpowering the masses with indoctrination, deeply imbedded weeds, hard to remove. 

These have their reward in full...

“Therefore, when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be 👉GLORIFIED BY MEN. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 

— Matthew 6:2

And hearing this, Jesus said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need for a physician, but only those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
— Mark 2:17

It's unfortunate but they don't comprehend how it's control and that it comes from fear and/or pride and self-righteousness...using THEIR OWN POWER to take control of biblical situations, not recognizing that they're guided by the false spirit. 

Instead of putting full faith and trust in God's power, they LACK FAITH...not truly believing HE WILL reveal his power to correct ANY GIVEN SITUATION.

It's in the history of "believers" from back then, and now, seen in the Old and New Testaments. It's what happens to this very day. By taking matters into their own hands and using their own wisdom they remain blind then they go on to teach the masses, keeping them blind as well. "Believers" who take what does not belong to them, forcing their way in.

Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” — Matthew 15:14

“The Law and the Prophets were until John; since that time the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and 👉everyone is forcing his way into it.

— Luke 16:16

Reminder: As you continue reading, stay HUBLE and keep an open mind/heart.

Very important questions to understand the answers to, especially for those who teach/preach. When approached by those who don't want to argue with you, who want to kindly search the scriptures with you for clarification...

• Is it kind to call yourself a teacher of God's Word then dismiss someone you disagree with?
• Isn't it your job as a teacher, or a study group, to teach them, especially if you believe they got it wrong?
• Why can't you be bothered digging deep into scripture with someone that disagrees with your view or belief, especially if you believe they're on the wrong path?
• If you have the "truth", what are you afraid of?
• Did you ever stop to think of the possibility that maybe you're the one who is wrong?
• Did you ever stop to think you resist the Holy Spirit because of your OWN DESIRE to be right?
• Is it because of your own lack of faith and fear?

For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he DECEIVES HIMSELF. ... And the one who is instructed in the word is to share in all good things with the one who instructs him. ... So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. — Galatians 6:3,6,10

I would agree one should never argue, I think it's a disgrace to God when people do, there's no love in it, and it's a big reason why many stay away from religion and self-proclaimed believers, it's why I stay away.

But... not everyone wants to argue. Some may want to truly sit and dig deep into scripture with you, knowing both sides can possibly learn something new and be led to a beautiful understanding, possibly learning something new about God's Word, or each other. 

• Is that too much to ask?

In my experience, YES, it is... it is too much to ask for countless that I've encountered to actually take the time to do an in-depth Bible study with me, someone who views things very differently from most "believers". I go back to self-righteousness, pride and fear as the top reasons...for others it's just pure laziness, preferring to stick to their belief (indoctrination) instead of truly understanding what they are following.

Remember the verse to follow next time you believe your faith is greater (EXALTED) over another's faith that is vastly different from yours and when thinking you somehow have the right and are justified when you disregard them. 

If you make it about SELF. Treating people with "kindness" while dismissing them, that is what an actor does, it's not genuine.

You hypocrites! You know how to examine the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not examine this present time?

— Luke 12:56

But he who is spiritual examines all things, yet he himself is examined by no one. 

— 1 Corinthians 2:15
