  -or-  a system of religion?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Choose you this day"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the numerous and varied systems of religion ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History, up to and including this present moment in time, has proven and yet&amp;nbsp;proves that multiplied millions have been killed and enslaved in  the name of the god[s] of this, or that, religion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that&amp;nbsp;the  fruit of death is bore of religion's way,&lt;br /&gt;Because life is but a pawn in the  wicked game they play!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is but one of a multitude of reasons why  "The Way of Truth is evil spoken of", and especially so because of those systems  of religion that declare that they are biblically based!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pagan  catholicism, her multitude of harlot christian('jesus') daughters, all muslim  sects, and the many judaic systems of this day, all propagate lies, delusion,  deception, confusion and every evil work!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was not biblical religion  established for a "disobedient and gainsaying(greedy, covetous) people" who were  "stiff-necked and uncircumcised of heart and ears"? Those who would rather "a  man speak to them than YHVH", and who wanted "a man to rule over them rather  than The One and Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our Father and  GOD", thankfully HE is Merciful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So repentance and regeneration can be experienced by those who receive "a  love of The Truth" for they will desire naught but to hear HIS Voice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they will realize evermore&amp;nbsp;that "Our Father", HE knows what is best for HIS  children!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help! and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What of The  Faithful?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not The Faithful seek "Our Father's" Help and desire above all else to do  HIS Will?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And does not "Our Father" yet commune with The  Faithful?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why would The Faithful create a system of  religion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are not sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, family?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And do not The Faithful brothers and sisters of The Messiah have their portion in  The&amp;nbsp;Family of "Our Father and GOD"?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most certainly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For The Faithful&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;the children of&amp;nbsp;"Our Father and GOD",&amp;nbsp;"of WHOM the  whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Eph 3:15)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The brethren of The Messiah, "the sons of GOD", are in and of The Family of "Our Father and GOD", and so it is that we choose to be but "aliens and pilgrims  while on the earth", for we have realized that our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why  would "aliens and pilgrims" create a system of religion, or love this wicked world and  it's things?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would we love our own(self,ego,id,"I") life in and of this wicked,  evil world, especially when it is promised that "whoever loves his life in this world will lose it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it unto Life Eternal"? (John12:25)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it is that we continue to sound The Call of "Our Father and GOD" as we exhort others to "Come Out of her, MY  people!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Come Out" of the systems that are of this wicked, evil  world(babylon) and especially it's systems of religion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be of those who  "forsake all," "Yes! and their own life also", just as The Messiah  did!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be of those who tarry in, yet are not of, this wicked, evil world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" indeed and Truth, for soon, and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at last!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till then:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help! and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace,  in spite of the dis-ease(religion) that is of this wicked world, for "the  WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one" indeed and  Truth.......(1John5:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully Truth IS, a lie never was, and is not.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abide in Truth....... francis&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Simple-and-Spiritual-Life/208339295850609&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-6140722247449435815?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/6140722247449435815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=6140722247449435815&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/6140722247449435815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/6140722247449435815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html' title='The Family of &quot;Our Father and GOD&quot;!   -or-  a system of religion?'/><author><name>ElderChild</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OPG5_ScugMU/TjXykgcV0tI/AAAAAAAAAPo/U1uEFwlEM1E/s220/BW%2BCanyon%2BMost%2BBeautiful%2BPic%2B5-21-2011.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313003557731924077.post-7167476066765840235</id><published>2012-03-06T15:15:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-07T19:42:52.864-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='messiah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heaven'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='truth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hope'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='father'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='good news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spirit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simple'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='destruction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kingdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catholic'/><title type='text'>Someone testified, "i just want to be a normal christian, not like Paul"?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt;

font-family: Georgia;"&gt; And systems of religion, all of which are of this world, are leading the way as babylon is re"imag"ined!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #414141;

If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his Master.

Do they not come of your lusts that war in your members? You lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war yet you have not, because you ask not. You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lusts. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is to be at enmity with The Only True GOD? Therefore whoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of The Only True GOD.” (James 4:1-4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Messiah testified, “The world cannot hate you; but the world hates Me, because I testify that the works of this world are evil.” (John 7:7)” And Paul testified,&amp;nbsp;“The Messiah gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of The Only True God, Our Father.”(Gal 1:4) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Messiah testified: “If the world hates you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”(John 5:18) Truly, Truly, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life in this world shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall have it unto life eternal.” (John 12:24-25)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;John testified: “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.” &lt;br /&gt;(I John 3:13) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;James testified, “Whoever would be a friend of this world is the enemy of GOD!” &lt;br /&gt;(James4:4)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Come Out of her, MY people"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Come Out"&amp;nbsp;of the systems that are&amp;nbsp;of this wicked world,&lt;br /&gt;and especially&amp;nbsp;it's systems of religion,&lt;br /&gt;for they but carry on the legacy of the pharisee's ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Global warming, polluted air, land and waters; toxic wastes, sexual perversion, evil inventions of destruction, systems of religion, lies, deception, delusion, greed, hate, carnal warfare, dis-ease(no-peace),,etc,, are all destructive processes that have their root in “the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life” which caused Eve to fall victim to 'd'evil, and which continue to&amp;nbsp;fuel the fires of mankind’s “imag”ination&amp;nbsp;;-( &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Come out from among them and be separate"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Do not have your portion with those who are destroying Creation(air, water, land, vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Truth, Light, Life, Love, Peace,&amp;nbsp;Grace, Faith,,,, All that is Truly Good)!&amp;nbsp;﻿&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The brethren of The Messiah have "Come Out!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that we "Love Not The World" and choose to remain but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth", for we have realized that our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven" and that soon, and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at last!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Till then: &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Father Help!

Problem is they serve “the father of lies”, he who is the "author of confusion" and "the god of this world", and his version of ‘independence’ but creates dependence upon him ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And oh, how the rotten ‘fruit’ of such "independence" has multiplied in his evil world and it’s seductive religious systems. The perverseness of this day is but one fruit of the "strong delusion" declared to be ‘independence’!

"The works I do are not My works but My Father does the works"! "Truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees The Father do: for what The Father does, the Son does likewise." The Messiah testified, “I can do nothing of mine own self”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And as The Messiah desired above all else, "Father THY Will, not My will, Be Done", so also will His brethren desire the same!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Messiah questioned, "Why do you call Me, Master(Lord), Master(Lord), and do not do that which I say”? Now are you seeking to follow The Messiah on The Way to The Truth of The Life? Or are you yet a babe and yet unable to 'walk'?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "sincere milk of the written Testimonies" is needful for babes, but must give way to the "strong meat" which is given those who have "exercised their senses in the discernment of that which is good and that which is evil" as they live The Word.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Such 'discernment' will not reject “suffering as The Messiah suffered” for the comforts of this world, will not seek to please man rather than GOD, will not let so-called "intellect" rule over the simplicity that is The Truth of The Messiah’s testimony, nor hearken unto the voice of a woman rather than GOD. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nor will those who exercise discernment love their own life, or this wicked, evil world. Discernment will not allow it's disciples to color their conscience gray any longer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sadly, the multitudes reject 'discernment' for it but convicts them of the lifelessness they call 'independence' ;-( They worship the "do your own thing", "i'm ok, you're ok" philosophical "imag"ining's of mankind, as they but serve "the father of lies", he who is "the god of this wicked world" ;-( &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Be not like unto them".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Then said The Messiah unto him. A certain man made a great supper, and invited many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were invited, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray you have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go to prove them: I pray you have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, that none of those men which were invited shall taste of my supper.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“And there went great multitudes with The Messiah: and He turned, and said unto them, If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross, and follow after Me, cannot be My disciple."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Messiah testified: "As GOD sent Me, so send I you". Those who are ‘sent’ will trust and believe that "The Only True GOD, Father of ALL, will supply all their needs" and "will work in them HIS Will and Good pleasure". They are dependent upon The Father, just like their Master(Lord) and Brother, The Messiah was.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So what of the “american way”, and all worldly ways?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And what of the systems of religion? All of which are of this world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For multiplied millions have been killed and enslaved in the name of&lt;br /&gt;the god(s) of this, or that religion ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;.......The ONLY TRUE GOD has given HIS Call…….&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;............."Come out of her, MY people"!.............&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Are you of the independent?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Or are you dependent upon The Only True GOD, Father of ALL?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Those who are dependent upon The Only True GOD have taken heed unto HIS Call!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And so it is they are but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" for they have realized that their "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven".......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And that there is but confusion and stress(dis-ease, no-peace) for those who believe in the "imag"ined systems of "order" established by mankind.

Now when warfare commences between two nations and they begin to murder each other, most onlookers naturally 'choose' sides. They have 'discerned' that this side, or that side, is the “righteous(good)” side so, they align themselves with that nation(s).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now if it were a case of them believing they had chosen for the lesser 'evil', well that would be a problem, yet not as grave a problem as is caused by what usually happens. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For those who have chosen sides(and i speak not of those who believe killing and war is a 'good' and necessary thing), the lesser 'evil' in their own eyes gets their support and sympathy. And as the chains of "strong delusion" bind them tighter and tighter, the lesser 'evil' becomes their version of 'good'(gevid) ;-( Such is the way a lie becomes 'white', shadows become light, lust becomes love, and that which is of this "wicked world" becomes&amp;nbsp;the desire of someones heart ;-( &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sad ;-( &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Very sad indeed ;-( &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And The Spirit must flee ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WWII was a prime example. One of the nations, declared to be 'good' by 'christian' and other religious systems, perpetrated the greatest act of terrorism yet known to mankind, as tens of thousands of civilians were 'nuked' in an instant. That same nation, the u.s. of a., was born in the bloodshed that was rebellion against authority, and now seeks to put down any rebellion that is not of their liking. Of course they call such a rebellion the 'evil' kind. They won't accept The Truth that all physical rebellion is of the flesh and is 'evil', for they were born of the blood shed in rebellion. Using force of any kind, or the use of any thing that would provoke a nation of this "wicked world" to use destructive force, is not 'good'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yet&amp;nbsp;systems of religion,&amp;nbsp;all of which&amp;nbsp; are of the 'god of this world',&amp;nbsp;are but&amp;nbsp;systems of "strong delusion" for they&amp;nbsp;have made 'gray' there favorite color ;-( So it is that their version of “good” has become but another form of “evil(gevid)" ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Sadly,&amp;nbsp;because of this world's systems of religion,&amp;nbsp;“Truth lies dead in the streets” ;-( &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yet there is&amp;nbsp;hope that there would be those who&amp;nbsp;would choose for the 'good', those who would choose to declare the 'lesser evil' to be just that! 'evil'! That can not happen without 'discernment' for many of you read, and read again that "the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one" and yet you remain steadfast in your love for a certain portion of the 'WHOLE".

Submitted for revelation, not condemnation of individuals held captive by the systems of &amp;nbsp;religion that are&amp;nbsp;of this world. Hope is there would be those who would "see" and "hear", for all who do so will take heed unto The Call of The ONE and Only True G-D to "Come Out of her, MY people"! Those who "see" and "hear" will "Come Out" of this evil world and it's systems of religion. No longer will they be of this wicked world(babylon) and it's systems of religion, for they will&amp;nbsp;have "set their affections on Heavenly things"&amp;nbsp;because they realize their "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven" and that they&amp;nbsp;are but "aliens and pilgrims while on this earth" indeed and Truth.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is this catholic/christian "jesus"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth is that the name "jesus" is the transliteration of a name into english from the latin "iesus", latin being the language of pagan catholicism! And so it is that all&amp;nbsp;biblical translations from pagan greek manuscripts are prejudiced in accordance&amp;nbsp;with the will of christianity's latin mother catholicism&amp;nbsp;and use her latin word for The Messiah's name in their transliterations of His name&amp;nbsp;from the&amp;nbsp;pagan&amp;nbsp;greek manuscripts? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider, those 'bibles' translated from the pagan greek manuscripts. Why is it that most all of those 'bibles' transliterate The Name of The Messiah as "jesus"? That question needs be asked because as stated previously the name "jesus" is the transliteration of The Messiah's G-D given birth name from the pagan catholic latin word&amp;nbsp;"iesus", not the pagan&amp;nbsp;greek "iesous"! The correct and proper transliteration of The Messiah's G-D given birth name from the pagan greek manuscripts would be "jesous" in modern day english, which still would be in error because 'jesous' is a transliteration of&amp;nbsp;the pagan&amp;nbsp;greek version of The Messiah's G-D given&amp;nbsp;Hebrew birth name.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it was that the name "iesous", pronounced (ee-aa-sous[yeah-zeus]), became the name of one head of catholicism's "imag"ined three-headed pagan g-d which&amp;nbsp;in latin was&amp;nbsp;"iesus", and that bastardized name later became the name of one head of &amp;nbsp;her harlot christian daughter's g-d as well ;-( And who, or what, gave the translators the liberty, or the authority to&amp;nbsp;use the pagan latin 'iesus', rather than the pagan greek 'iesous' in the transliteration of The Messiah's G-D given birth Name into the english language from pagan greek manuscripts? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth IS the name 'jesus' was first "imag"ined some six hundred years ago! Truth IS there was no 'j' sound in the english language prior to that time! Truth IS the name 'jesus' was not spoken for more than 1400 years after The Messiah ascended unto HIS HIS G-D and Father!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah's G-D is The G-D of His Brethren and The Messiah's Father is The Father of His Brethren. The Messiah, "ascended to His G-D and Father" and was the "first-born of many Brethren".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Let There Be Light" and "there was Light"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LIGHT Begot Light.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah, "The Light which enlightens every man born......"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah, "The Beginning of The Creation of The Only True G-D".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah was "the mediator between The Only True G-D and man", yet when the earthly, natural, temporal realm centered in jerusalem was destroyed "The Kingdom of G-D" DID "Come" and so it is that we, the brethren of The Messiah, and sons of G-D, can now commune with Our Father for our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven" and we are but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help! and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah's G-D given Hebrew birth Name when transliterated into today's english would be J'shua....... The greek word "iesous" used for the Name of The Messiah is the same pagan greek word first used in the greek septuagint translation of The Old Covenant for "J'shua(joshua), the son of Nun". Should not The Son of The Only True G-D be called by The Name given to Him by His Father and G-D? The Messiah was, and is "The Son of The ONE and Only True Living G-D", and as there is Only ONE True G-D, so also there is only One True Messiah.&amp;nbsp;And His name is Y'shua (J'shua in modern day english) The Son of The ONE and Only True Living G-D, Father(Creator) of ALL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it was, and is as The Messiah testified, "I ascend to My G-D and your G-D, to My Father and your Father"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth also testifies that the name 'jesus' was "imag"ined during a time "the g-d of this world, he who is "the father of lies", and his 'catholic/christian' systems of religion&amp;nbsp;declared to be the "reformation". Prior to the "reformation" there was no 'j' sound in the english language and there never has been a 'j' sound or letter in the pagan greek or Hebrew language!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Reformation" is a right word indeed for 'catholicism' was re-formed, in the sense of being restructured and made to appear differently outwardly. The various "re-formed" systems of religion were, and are, her offspring! And they all bear the mark of catholicism's g-d' 'jesus'! Either they name one head of their three headed pagan g-d 'jesus', or they make the one they call 'jesus' their g-d, or declare their 'jesus' to be but an angel or prophet ;-( All of pagan catholicism's so-called christian daughters are but harlot systems of religion fornicating with "the g-d of this world", he who is "the father of lies", he who is "the author of confusion" and "every evil work"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'catholicism' and her harlot 'christian' daughters but fornicate with "the g-d of this world" because "they love his world and, it's things", and "they love their own lives in and of his evil, wicked world" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah testified that "the world was evil", and that His brethren were "in, yet not of, this world".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah ascended to His G-D and Father.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah's G-D and Father is also The G-D and Father of The Messiah's Brethren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah's G-D and Father IS "The ONLY TRUE G-D", HE WHO has no 'g-d' or 'father', for HE IS "The ONE and Only True Living G-D, Father(Creator) of ALL"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, catholic/christian folklore&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;bound multitudes in the chains of strong delusion for they have not received "the love of The&amp;nbsp;Truth" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Truth" Testifies: "The Messiah is The Son of The Living G-D!"&lt;br /&gt;"catholic/christian" folklore:&lt;br /&gt;'jesus' is 'g-d' or 1/3 of a 'g-d' or an angel or ????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Truth" Testifies: "Love your enemies!

In that "search" i heard many preach and speak of the need for "husbands to love their wives".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ephesians 5:25 was the prime reference for such preaching. "Husbands, love your wives, even as The Messiah also loved the ecclesia(church), and gave Himself for it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First it is important to realize that "love" is not a husband and wife sharing their natural affection for one another, which is referred to as "coming together again" in 1 Corinthians7:5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Ephesians 5:25 was preached and preached, again and again, and i wondered, "why is it no one preaches a message concerning those verses just prior to Ephesians 5:25", and "why is it that the exhortation of Ephesians 5:25 was recorded after and not before Ephesians 5:22"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ephesians 5:22-25 - "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Master(Lord). For the husband is the head of the wife, even as The Messiah is the Head of the ecclesia(church), and He is the saviour of the body. Therefore, as the ecclesia is subject unto The Messiah, so let the wives be subject unto their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as The Messiah also loved the ecclesia, and gave Himself for it".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the "why no one preaches concerning the verses just prior to Ephesians 5:25" was readily answered as i began to experience and recognize the manipulative processes used by women who desired to dominate the men folk within their own particular ecclesia. And yes, that domination begins at the "home". However, the question of verse order, "why verses 5:22-24 prior to verse 5:25?" was one thing i still could not fully comprehend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today i yet remain thankful to GOD that i could not comprehend the verse order because that caused me to cry unto HIM for understanding, and HE provided such understanding in a vision, a revelation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the vision there were two hands, a right hand and a left hand. And there was a person running about, to and fro in the left hand, and it was revealed unto me that the left hand in the vision was mine and the one running about, to and fro, in the left hand was me back in the days that were thankfully long since gone. Days when "I" was "doing my own thing" seeking my own way, self-willed indeed as "I" but sought to fulfill my natural desires ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the right hand in the vision?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was revealed unto me that the Right Hand in the vision represented The Hand of GOD!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it was then revealed unto me that in those times past, times when "I" was seeking to "do my own thing" "I" did not know that GOD loved me. "I" did not know GOD, for the "I" in me was my 'god' ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then by the Grace of GOD, the time came when HE revealed HIMSELF unto me, a Miraculous time when i received "the love of The Truth"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then HE led me to HIS Son, and HIS Son, The Messiah, led me back to The ONE i had known only as "GOD". However, the ONE i had known only as my "GOD", i then knew as "Our Father"! The GOD and Father of The Messiah was now Our GOD and Our Father!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Thanks, And Praise Be Unto "Our Father"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then it was revealed unto me that when i submitted unto Our Father and GOD &amp;nbsp;and was delivered from my own hand, seeking my own will, and into HIS Hand, desiring HIS Will, it was at that moment i knew HE Loved me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, Our GOD and Our Father even Loved me when "I" was not submitted unto HIM, yet "I" could not experience, receive, nor believe HE Loved me until "I" submitted unto HIM, HIS Will, HIS Way!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And ultimately the vision revealed unto me that it is the same with a husband and wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a wife submits unto her husband, only then will she realize that her husband truly loves her. Oh, her husband loved her all the time, it's just that she could not believe, receive, or experience the love her husband received to give unto her until she submitted unto him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so the simplicity of, and the need for, the "verse order" was revealed unto me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from submission, Love can not be received, GOD to Messiah, Messiah to man and man to woman. Love is given, yet only in submission can Love be received and experienced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men and women are not the "same" and Thank GOD for the difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And "Our Father and GOD", HE has HIS Order! "HE is The HEAD of The Messiah, The Messiah is the Head of the man, and man is the head of the woman". (I Corinthians 11:3)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why is it that so many question and disregard The Order of "The ONE GOD, Father of ALL"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For apart from the Spirit of GOD, The Spirit of Truth, women rule over men, and as they seek and desire to manipulate and dominate they scream, "you don't love me, you don't love me"! For until a wife submits unto her husband she can not receive nor experience the Love her husband was given, to give unto her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully, while there is breath(spirit) there is hope!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Miracles do happen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope is there will be those who experience The Miracle that is receiving "love of The Truth" for they will "see" that The Only True GOD is a GOD of Order not dis-order, and The Life is only realized by those who submit too, and abide in, HIS Order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help! and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully Our Father, HE yet communes with HIS children.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) and dis-order that is of this wicked world, for "the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one"(1 John 5:19) indeed and Truth.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abide in Truth....... francis&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-4006703546166878671?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/4006703546166878671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=4006703546166878671&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/4006703546166878671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/4006703546166878671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/06/vision-of-submission-and-love.html' title='A Vision of Submission and Love'/><author><name>ElderChild</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OPG5_ScugMU/TjXykgcV0tI/AAAAAAAAAPo/U1uEFwlEM1E/s220/BW%2BCanyon%2BMost%2BBeautiful%2BPic%2B5-21-2011.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313003557731924077.post-6128374651631494856</id><published>2012-02-16T10:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-16T10:10:35.813-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='messiah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miracle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heaven'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='truth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gospel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hope'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='father'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='good news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spirit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='destruction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catholic'/><title type='text'>"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed"</title><content type='html'>The above was a quote by Mahatma Gandhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further quotations of Mahatma Gandhi follow....... *=my comments=*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"GOD has no religion”.......&amp;nbsp; *=i would add,&amp;nbsp;because The Faithful ARE Family!=*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The most heinous and the most cruel crimes of which history has record have been committed under the cover of religion or equally noble motives".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from GOD as my successes and my talents, and I lay them both at HIS feet".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind”.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Roots of Violence: wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, politics without principles".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind".......&amp;nbsp; *=i could bear witness to such, yet "you will never imprison The Spirit within me"=*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in GOD should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The weak can never forgive.

O LORD, correct me, but with justice; Not in YOUR anger, lest YOU bring me to nothing.” “Lead me in YOUR Truth and teach me, for YOU are The GOD of my salvation; on YOU i wait all the day.” “Wait on The LORD; be of good courage, and HE shall strengthen your heart; wait, i say, on the LORD!” “I am weary with my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while i wait for my GOD.” (Jeremiah 10:23-24, Psalms 25:5, 27:14, 69:3)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“Wait upon The LORD”, “Let patience have her perfect work”, “They who worship GOD must worship HIM in Spirit and Truth”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“Let all things be done decently and in order”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question? “Who is able to order the worship of GOD”?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Is it in man who is not able to order his own steps”?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As far as i can see, and i may not have seen others, there is only one place in The New Testimonies that speak of Brethren coming together with the intent being to worship GOD. What is written in 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 i believe to be simple, and easily understood by all who have not been indoctrinated into another way, apart from GOD’s Way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now, is man able to order the worship of GOD in Spirit and Truth? Must not The Holy Spirit lead and guide into all Truth? There are many who have the song, song, prayer, reading, sermon, prayer, collection, song, benediction “mentality” masquerading as “spirituality”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An order established of man, for man.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Is not The Holy Spirit able to order the worship of The Only True GOD, with all Brethren open to the Spirit’s leading? The Testimonies speak, “When you come together Brethren, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation.” Now, “Who are the every one of you”?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Has The Holy Spirit put a time limit on the worship of The Only True GOD, or has man? Can anyone say that the worship of GOD has to be for a specified amount of time? A busyness keeps time, should the worship of GOD in Spirit and Truth be organized liken unto a busyness? Does not “The Body of The Messiah” have The Holy Spirit to lead and guide them into all Truth? Are there to be time constraints put on such a “weighty” matter as the worship of The Only True GOD?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What would be “wrong” with a twenty minute or three hour time of worship? In a mere twenty minutes GOD could work innumerable miracles if HE were allowed to work HIS Way, through HIS Spirit, not the spirit of man! Would there be unrighteousness in silent prayer and waiting upon GOD? If Brethren were open to the leading of The Holy Spirit, and The Spirit would lead none to speak, then such silence would be a blessing indeed! Any time ordered of The Holy Spirit would be a blessing! Tell me, “What spirit is in a clock”? or “having lunch on time”?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Oh, how i pray that i could make clear that which is in my heart. Oh, the perverseness of mankind and his order, oh, the evil of this day, oh, the abominable commandments and doctrines of men that have brought to naught The Power of GOD in the life given them! Oh Father, help us to see only THEE, THY Spirit, THY Word! Oh Father, help us to be vessels empty of all vanity and philosophies of mankind, to be empty of all doctrines and commandments of men, so that you might fill us with YOUR Holy Spirit, fill us with YOUR Word, YOUR Way, YOUR Truth and The Life!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Father Help! &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are many who believe Life is of the flesh, and that death is  inevitable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet after death, at some "imag"ined time in their future, they  will "live" again ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So it is that the strong delusion that is the pagan catholic and christian  systems of religion offers proof positive that "if lies are told often enuf for  a long enuf period of time, humans will believe the lies" which then become  their version of the truth ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sadder yet, when The Truth is revealed unto them they will declare such to  be but a lie ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Religion most certainly

certainly Life is not of the flesh, or religion!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"GOD also has  made us able

(Gen 1:2)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then GOD spoke HIS Word into being.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Let there be Light"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And "There was Light".......(Gen 1:3)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And such 'Light' was to be, and is, Eternal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that Hope is Alive!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though this wicked world begins and ends it's day in darkness it is good to realize that the 1st Day of Creation, although begun midst the darkness, ended in 'Light'! (Gen 1:5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And such 'Light' was not the sun, moon or stars for they were not created until the 4th Day. (Gen 1:14-19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GOD's Word "Let there be Light" became "The Light which enlightens every man born into the world" and was "the glory The Messiah had with Our Father before the world began".......(John 1:9, 17:5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LIGHT Begot Light.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LIKE Begot Like.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah, "The Light of the world".......(Jn8:12)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah, "The beginning of The Creation of GOD".......(Rev1:1, 3:14)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah, "The Son of The Living GOD".......(John 6:69)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Our Father, HE "created all things by(of, in and thru) The Messiah".......(Ep3:9)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 1st Day of Creation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And GOD called The Light, Day, and the darkness HE called night. And the evening(darkness) and The Morning(Light) was The 1st Day." (Gen 1:5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if the beginning can not be 'seen' nor understood, then what of the end?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confusion would reign! And today confusion does reign midst the religious systems of this world, for apart from "The Light" there is only darkness, "the blind leading the blind" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Light" opens the "eye of understanding" in The Faithful, and so it is they will not create a religion for The Faithful ARE Family.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Family of "Our Father and GOD", "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Eph3:15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the Apostle&amp;nbsp;Paul saw "The&amp;nbsp;Light" that is The Messiah on the road to Damascus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"At midday, O king, I saw in the way a Light from Heaven, which was above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I said, Who are you, Master? And The Messiah said, I am Y'shua(for He spoke in the Hebrew tongue) Whom you are persecuting". (Acts 26:13-15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, GOD's Word "Let there be Light" became "The Light which enlightens every man born into the world", "The Light" that is The Messiah,&amp;nbsp;and was "the glory The Messiah had with Our Father before the world began".......(John 1:9, 17:5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world and it's systems of religion "for the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one", indeed and Truth.......(1John 5:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

with John 1:1-5</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Someone had commented, "I am interested in how you synchronize your doctrine on GOD creating The Light with John's version".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;i believe you are referring to John 1:1-5 and how&amp;nbsp;John's testimony bears witness to The Messiah being "The Light" begotten by Our Father the 1st Day of Creation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;(John 1:1) "In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with GOD, and The Word was GOD."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;"In the beginning was The Word"&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The 1st Day of Creation was the beginning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And "In the beginning" GOD(Creator) WAS, and HE spoke The(HIS)Word "Let There Be Light" and "There was Light"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;"and The Word was with GOD"&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;GOD spoke The(HIS)Word "Let There Be Light" and The(HIS)Word "Let There Be Light" became "Light" and "The(HIS)Word was with GOD", HE WHO IS LIGHT! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;"and The Word was GOD"&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;GOD spoke The(HIS) Word "Let There Be Light"....... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"The(HIS)Word was GOD" and became Light!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GOD, HE WHO IS LIGHT begot Light!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Messiah, "The True Light(The Light of Truth) which enlightens every man born into this world." (John 1:9)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Messiah, "The beginning of The Creation of GOD(Our Father)!" (Rev3:14)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that The Messiah, the first begotten of Our Father, testified "The Father is Greater than I." (John 14:28)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"The Light", "the glory The Messiah had with Our Father before the world began." (John 17:5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah, "the beginning of The Creation of GOD", "the firstborn of all Creation"! (Rev 3:14, Col 1:15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah, "Son of GOD, Son of man"!&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;(John 1:2-5) "The same(The Light)&amp;nbsp;was in the beginning with GOD. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was Life; and The Life was The Light of men. And The Light(The Messiah) shinned midst the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"To make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning (as in John 1:2) of the world has been hid in GOD, WHO Created all things by The Messiah(The(GOD'S)Word "Let There Be Light")."(Eph 3:9)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Our Father(Creator) created "all things" of, by, in and thru The Messiah(The(GOD'S)Word "Let There Be Light").&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;(John 1:14) "And The(GOD'S)Word("Let There Be Light") was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His(The Messiah)&amp;nbsp;glory, the glory as of the only begotten of The Father, full of Grace and Truth."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"The Light" was "the glory The Messiah had with Our Father before the world began." (John 17:5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And finally it was as The Messiah testified, "He&amp;nbsp;answered and said unto him, "if a man loves Me, he will keep My Words, and My Father will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that does not love Me does not keep My sayings, and The Word which you hear is not Mine, but is The Word of The Father, HE&amp;nbsp;WHO sent Me."" (John 14:23-24)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Father Help! and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So there is Hope!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For Miracles do happen.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hope is there would be those who&amp;nbsp;experience The Miracle that is receiving "the love of The Truth" for they will "see"&amp;nbsp;The Light that is The Messiah.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(darkness) that is this wicked world and it's systems of religion, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one" indeed and Truth....... &amp;nbsp;(1John5:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abide in Truth....... francis&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-2763014707868810917?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/2763014707868810917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=2763014707868810917&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/2763014707868810917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/2763014707868810917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/08/let-there-be-light-john-11-5.html' title='The 1st Day of Creation in harmony with John 1:1-5'/><author><name>ElderChild</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OPG5_ScugMU/TjXykgcV0tI/AAAAAAAAAPo/U1uEFwlEM1E/s220/BW%2BCanyon%2BMost%2BBeautiful%2BPic%2B5-21-2011.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313003557731924077.post-8364264418798316863</id><published>2012-02-10T14:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-11T09:51:45.360-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='messiah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heaven'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='truth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hope'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creator'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='father'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jesus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simple'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='destruction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kingdom'/><title type='text'>Needs?

(John 3:34)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"The Messiah testified, "I have greater witness than that of John: for The Works which The Father has given me to finish, are the same Works that I do, and they bear witness of Me, that The Father has sent Me." (John 5:36)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Messiah also testified, "I have not spoken of Myself; but The Father WHO sent Me, HE gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and how I should speak." (John 12:49)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Do not lay up treasures for yourselves upon earth, for that is what moth and rust can corrupt, and where thieves can break through and steal: But lay up treasures for yourselves in Heaven, where neither moth or rust "can corrupt, and where thieves can not break through and steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye is single, your whole body shall be full of light. But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You can not serve both The Only True GOD and money.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not The Life more than meat, and the body than clothes? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why do you take thought for clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these flowers. Wherefore, if The Only True GOD so clothes the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, how shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the worldly seek) For your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of GOD, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Every day has evils enough of it's own." (Matthew 6:19-34)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Simply, Sufficiency IS of The Creator and HIS Creation!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Once again, The Messiah testified, "I have not spoken of Myself; but The Father WHO sent Me, HE gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and&amp;nbsp;what I should speak." (John 12:49)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Don't you believe that I am in The Father, and The Father in Me? The Words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but The Father WHO dwells in Me, HE does The Works." (John 14:10)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"He that loves Me not, does not keep My sayings: and The Word which you hear is not Mine, but The Father's, HE WHO sent Me." (John 14:24)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"I have manifested YOUR Name unto the men WHO YOU gave Me out of the world: YOUR's they were, and YOU gave them to Me; and they have kept YOUR Word." (John 17:6)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Then answered The Messiah and said unto them, Truly, Truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but that which He has seen The Father do: for whatever things The Father does, those things The Son also does."

Words which are to them naught but "colored marks  written on a dead tree". Translated words, bound up in a book, that is biased  and perverted in accordance with the religious dogma of the translators  ;-(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And as they "use" and abuse&amp;nbsp;a portion of&amp;nbsp;the written words, seeking  to "prove" their own brand of theo'ry'logy(religion), they will say, "i need no  other proof"! Sadly, their biased and perverted "readers digest" version of The  Testimonies&amp;nbsp;becomes their "god", the only 'god' they&amp;nbsp;'know' ;-( &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such is  the pagan "catholic/christian" way ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one who contends with them,  who contends for The Faith, realizes there must be more to The Life than mere  words stored in that area above the neck, or worse yet, only known as they are  "seen" naturally on a piece of paper and then USED to prove a "point", and/or  "convince" one who does not believe as they do ;-( &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, multitudes  follow the pagan "catholic/christian" 'way' ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Read those "colored  marks written on a dead tree".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Memorize as much as you can.  &lt;br /&gt;(memorize it all and be on tv, radio or up "front" ;-( )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Take a  test to see what you "know" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;(apart from experience you only "know"  memorized colored marks written on a dead tree)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pass the test", and  you're authorized to get others to participate in the three step program created  to do service unto the "god" of YOUR choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the "god" chosen most  often?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pagan three-headed catholic/christian "god" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if  there are those who have "experienced The Messiah and The Power that raised Him  from among the dead", then please bear witness to The Miracles in The Life you  say you have received. Not someone else's "Miracles", your own! Your experience,  your "proof"! And not some emotional vocal utterances without meaning which but  offer proof that the flesh is still alive, or some lost and found item of  personal worth, or the abundance of those things which you possess ;-( For "the  abundant Life is of The Spirit and is not realized in that which a man  possesses"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually a man's possessions, possess him ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bear  witness to The Miracle of forsaking all that you have, Yes, even your own life  also. Not just in word, but indeed and Truth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for me, i can bear  witness to The Miracle of receiving "a love of The Truth" prior to having any  "knowledge" of that which is recorded in what the "catholic/christians" call  their "bible".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a time of great turmoil, inward pain, and hopelessness  i cried unto the one whom i then would only recognize as "the supreme being",  "HELP, if there is a "god", HELP"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in an instant i received a  revelation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If there is a "GOD" then HE is a "GOD" of Truth, for a lie  never existed and never will!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that moment i committed my being unto  this "GOD of Truth" realizing that i must abide in Truth, for apart from Truth  there is the nothingness that is in and of the darkness, for a lie never was,  and is not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And once received, "a love of The Truth" will lead one to  that which is Real, that which IS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all that is Truly Real is Forever,  and those who receive "a love of The Truth" begin to realize that this whole  world and especially it's systems of religion are but the product of lies,  "imag"ination, deception, delusion,,, all that is unreal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And those who  receive "a love of The Truth" experience, not just read about, The Truth that  "the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one", he who is "d"evil  spirit, "the father of lies", "the angel of light" and "the god of this world"  ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All who receive "a love of The Truth" will experience The Living Word  and be led into all Truth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, yes, i searched for what the  "catholic/christians" called their "church". In fact at one time "I" was going  to write a book entitled "In Search of The Church"". However, it became clear  that the book already had been published, and the published Testimonies revealed  the final chapter of my search.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Behold The Kingdom of GOD(Elohim) is  within you"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my search i was Miraculously delivered from all the  "churches" that attempted to ensnare and captivate my soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Thanks  and Praise Be Unto "Our Father"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i can bear witness to The Miracle of  deliverance from the "I" in "me", delivered from wanting my way and set upon  "The Narrow Way", desiring above all else The Will of "The One and Only True  GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL", which is the same desire that The Messiah  had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i can bear witness to The Miracle of "GOD" leading me to HIS  Son, my Brother and Master, The Messiah, He Whom i seek and desire to follow on  The Way to The Truth of The Life! And then The Messiah returned me unto The ONE  i once knew only as "GOD", yet now know as Father, "Our Father"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  simply, "The Way" to "The Truth" of "The Life" is realized when one's  heartfelt desire is that which The Messiah also desired above all  else:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Father, not my will, But THY Will Be Done"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i can bear  witness to The Miracles of deliverance from a foul mouth, worldly desires,  smoking, money madness, womanizing,,, and especially from that which is of the  "imag"ination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help! and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i can once  again bear witness to The Miracle of deliverance from the multiple choice that  is the pagan "catholic" and "christian" systems of religion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For each and  every one of them is the product of mankind's "imag"ination, and mankind's  "imag"ination is truly the devil's playground ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, mankind's  "imag"ination is destroying Creation(air, water, land, vegetation, creatures)  and perverting that which is Spirit(Truth, Light, Life, Love, Peace, Grace,  Faith,,,, ALL that is Truly GOOD) !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i can bear witness to The  Miracles of healing, from toothaches, amoebic dysentery, pneumonia, and once  when i was in great pain and believed i was dying i heard a Voice from on High  clearly speak, "Rise Up and Walk"! And as i rose up from that bed of affliction  i was healed! Instantly! No doctors, no medication!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i can bear witness to the healing of my  conscience, which i had neglected, and rejected for so many years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only  then could i commune with "Our Father(Creator)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah knew, and i  now know, that Our Father(Creator), HE knows what is best for HIS  Creation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our Father(Creator)" knows best indeed and Truth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i  can bear witness to The Miracles of Faith, for as the gun was pointed at my  head, and i was asked, "are you afraid now?" i responded, "if GOD allows it, it  will be". Then the trigger was pulled, the bullet fired, and miraculously it  missed! And as the one who pulled the trigger turned very pale and ran from the  room, i simply stated, "i told you so."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today, as i look back? Well i  most certainly needed such a Miracle so that i might bear witness unto the  Miracle that is The Life today, The Life that is Forever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when one has  naught but a backpack and the road ahead, it is a time when Faith is Alive and  "patience can work her perfect work". To experience little or no money in one's pocket is to  be "free, free indeed", free to become like a little child who trusts that their  Father will supply all that is truly needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, i do read "The  Testimonies" for they provide food for the soul indeed, and enlighten The Spirit within man as they bear  witness unto The Faithful, all of whom had received "a love of The Truth".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Testimonies experienced, no longer are but "colored marks written on a dead  tree", The Testimonies experienced ARE ALIVE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, because  those held captive by the pagan "catholic/christian" systems of religion have  not received "a love of The Truth", The Testimonies have been used and abused in  the production of theo'ry'logical doctrinal heresies that bind men in the chains  of strong delusion ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doctrines which are then used by world loving  religious systems to captivate souls, and the souls they possess but serve  "time" in the prison that is this wicked, evil world ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multiplied  millions have been killed and enslaved in the name of the god(s) of this, or  that religion ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that the fruit of death is bore of religion's  way,&lt;br /&gt;Because life is but a pawn in the wicked game they play!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly,  because of pagan "catholic/christian" folklore, their deadly ways and  destructive puropses, "The Way of Truth is evil spoken of" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, when  one receives "a love of The Truth", all Truth and not just a self determined  portion, it is then that The Testimonies allow one to "see" the "building" of  their "Faith" as they "experience The Messiah and The Power that raised Him from  among the dead"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religions, all of which are of this world, can not  destroy such Faith!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Faithful will not create a religion, for The  Faithful are Family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Family of "Our Father and GOD", "of WHOM the whole Family in  Heaven and ON EARTH is named".......(Eph 3:15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and HE  does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Thankfully Miracles do happen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So while there is  breath there is hope.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope is there be would be those who  experience The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The Truth" for they will see  "The Light" that is The Messiah and take heed unto The Call of The ONE and Only  True GOD to "Come Out of her, MY people"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They will "Come Out" of the  systems that are of this wicked world, and especially it's systems of  religion!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and HE does.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(religion) that is of  this world, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the  evil one" indeed and Truth.......(1John5:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth IS, a lie never was  and is not.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abide in Truth....... francis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-3724438353012802041?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/3724438353012802041/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=3724438353012802041&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/3724438353012802041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/3724438353012802041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/10/miracles-faith-and-receiving-love-of.html' title='Miracles, Faith, &amp;

(1John5:19)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yet, the "fish" continue to seek out that "good" place in the world, when in Truth the world today is but the product of mankind's "imag"ination, a dry and thirsty land of mirages, nothing but shadows ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And in this wicked world, "image"s abound and are worshipped ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So why receive that which is of mankind's "imag"ination?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Even when such is supposedly "free" there will always be a price to pay, for mankind's "imag"ination is destroying&amp;nbsp;Creation(air, water, land,&amp;nbsp;vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Truth, Light, Life, Love, Peace, Hope, Grace, Faith,,,,&amp;nbsp;All that is&amp;nbsp;Truly Good) ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Consider the time when there were no radio's, no tv's, no movies, no newspapers, a time when there was no way yet "imag"ined and then manufactured, that would allow someone to publish or display the vain "imag"inations of mankind to the "masses". Sadly those who rule in this wicked world, and who control the "media", consider the "masses" to be but the M in E=MC(squared);-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that multitudes are sickened and become&amp;nbsp;addicted to&amp;nbsp;prescription&amp;nbsp;drugs because of the "junk" food they eat,&amp;nbsp; as multitudes of others&amp;nbsp;die of malnutrition ;-( And the spiritual&amp;nbsp;drug that is called 'religion'&amp;nbsp;leads those&amp;nbsp;who are braindirtyed along that "broad way&amp;nbsp;to destruction" ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And yet today, here i am publishing(sharing) that which i believe to be from the heart, The Spirit within, not the vain "imag"inations of my fleshly mind. i can but hope that which i share is from The ONE whose voice i have heard and whose Power i have experienced in The Miracles of deliverance that set me free, free from the "I" in me!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The ONE who revealed the lies that are of this world, it's 'god', and it's systems of religion, as i received evermore "a love of The Truth". The ONE WHOM i know and believe is the Giver of Life, The ONE and&amp;nbsp;Only True GOD and Father(Creator) of ALL!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that The Faithful will not create a religion, for The Faithful ARE Family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Family of Our Father(Creator, Great Spirit, GOD) "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Eph 3:15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help! and HE does.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Do you feel as i feel?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Do you wonder just what's real?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Do you see the little child?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Do you see them running wild?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;i see their doubts and i see their fears,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;i see their hurts and i see their tears.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now could be that's what i look to see,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yet what i see is real to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now am i alone to care and cry?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Or must i close these eyes and surely die?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sadly, the children, or those who once were called children, today are referred to as "kids" ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sadder yet, the reference is true ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Baby goats(kids) abound because their 'parents' feed them all sorts of "trash", and so it is that as they grow, they "eat" any and all things, no matter the dis-eases(no-peace) that causes them to be pill pushers, peer pleasers, or worse yet, slaves of the media ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Where have all the children gone? long time pa-as-sing" ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Progress?

(Rev 3:11)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Paul testified, "I am in a strait between the two, for I have a desire to depart, and to be with The Messiah, which is far better. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for all of you. And having that confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of Faith." (Phil 1:23-25)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Paul testified, "WE WHICH ARE ALIVE and remain SHALL BE CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds to meet The Messiah in the air: and so shall WE ever be with The Messiah."(1Thes 4:17:18)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And again Paul testified, "I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And GOD WILL DELIVER ME FROM EVERY EVIL WORK, AND WILL PRESERVE ME UNTO HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM, to WHOM be Glory for ever and ever…. Amen(It is so, let it be so)” (2Tim 4:17-18)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul was alive and taken up "in the clouds to meet The Messiah in the air" when the natural, earthly, temporal realm centered in Jerusalem was destroyed. For at that time of "The END" of the old covenant “The Messiah came in the clouds".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to that time of "The END" Paul testified that believers were "translated into The Kingdom of GOD's Dear Son". (Col 1:13)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And at that time of “the END" of the old covenant age, "The Messiah delivered up The Kingdom unto "Our Father and GOD" and subjected Himself unto HIM once again", just as Paul had prophesied in 1 Corinthians 15:24. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Thanks And Praise Be Unto “Our Father”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah had testified, "Behold, I COME QUICKLY: hold that fast which YOU have, that no man take YOUR crown." (Rev 3:11)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Behold, I COME QUICKLY! Blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book."(Rev 22:7)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Behold, I COME QUICKLY! And My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be."(Rev 22:12)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Paul testified, "YET A LITTLE WHILE, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry."(Heb 10:37)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the apostle John testified, "He Who testifies concerning these things said to me, surely I COME QUICKLY"! Amen(It is so, let it be so). Even so, come Master Yahshua!"(Rev 22:20) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;5035 &amp;nbsp;tachu- "quickly, speedily (without delay)"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah DID, "COME QUICKLY"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah came at "The END" of the old covenant when the natural, earthly, temporal realm centered in Jerusalem was destroyed.

(Rev 18:4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Faithful, those who are the brethren of The Messiah, have "Come Out" of the systems that are of this wicked, evil world(babylon)!

Col 1:23)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"The END" of what?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Simply, "The END" of that "which was decaying old and ready to vanish away"! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The&amp;nbsp;END" of&amp;nbsp;the old covenant of laws given to a "disobedient and gainsaying people" who&amp;nbsp;did&amp;nbsp;not want GOD to speak unto them but would rather&amp;nbsp;have Moses do so! A "stiffnecked and uncircumcised of heart and mind" people who would rather a man be their king so they could be like&amp;nbsp;the other kingdoms that were of&amp;nbsp;the world ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And when would "The END" come?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When The Good News(Gospel)of The Kingdom was preached&amp;nbsp;in all the world for a witness unto all nations"! (Mat 24:14)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So it was that "The END"&amp;nbsp;of the old covenant&amp;nbsp;came&amp;nbsp;almost two thousand years ago with the destruction of the earthly, natural, temporal kingdom centered in jerusalem!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was&amp;nbsp;as The Messiah testified, "The&amp;nbsp;END" would come&amp;nbsp;after "The GOOD News(gospel) of The Kingdom(of GOD in Heaven) was preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations"! (Mat 24:14)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Paul bore&amp;nbsp;witness that "The END" was at hand when he testified, "If you continue in the Faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the Hope of The GOOD News, which you have heard, and&amp;nbsp;WHICH WAS PREACHED TO EVERY CREATURE WHICH IS UNDER HEAVEN......." (Col 1:23)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"THE GOOD NEWS WAS PREACHED TO EVERY CREATURE"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Apostles fulfilled the so-called "great commission" given them.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Paul also bore witness of "The END" when he testified,&amp;nbsp;"In that&amp;nbsp;HE said, a NEW Covenant,&amp;nbsp;HE has made the first old! Now that which is decaying and waxing old is ready to vanish away." (Heb 8:13) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Shortly(quickly) after those testimonies of Paul&amp;nbsp;the old covenant DID vanish away with the destruction of the earthly, natural, temporal realm centered in old jerusalem!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"The END" of&amp;nbsp;the old! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Beginning of&amp;nbsp;The NEW!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And as for NEW Jerusalem? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Simply, NEW Jerusalem WAS and IS Heavenly,&amp;nbsp;Spiritual and Eternal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And "Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all." (Gal 4:26)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;All Thanks and Praise Be Unto Our Father!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The link&amp;nbsp;that follows&amp;nbsp;gives further&amp;nbsp;testimony concerning "The END" of the old covenant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also The NEW Covenant that IS!

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Help me to "deny myself(die to "I",ego,id,self,pride)" Father!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as HE Helps, HE reveals more and more of "The Selfless One".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The One who testified, "I can do nothing of Mine own self"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The One Who leads His brethren on "The Way to The Truth of The Life". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The One&amp;nbsp;Who was and is The Messiah, The Son of The One and Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The Messiah, "The Light of the world"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as The Messiah desired above all else, so also will His brethren desire above all else, "Father, not my("I") will, But THY Will Be Done".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The poem i have recorded above was begun in Creel, Chih, Mexico in '92, a time when i sought to live and experience a simple and spiritual life. Left Mexico in '93, yet returned in '04.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on 1/26/05 the poem was completed, and 'completion' is near for each and every one of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for "the poor and needy" son's of GOD, thankfully so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;For "I" can't! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;"Our Father", HE CAN!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And soon and very soon, translated! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;"Corruptible to incorruptible" indeed and Truth.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Home, Home at last.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forever free from the "I(ego,id,self,pride)".......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;All Thanks and Praise Be Unto "Our Father".......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;And while there is breath(spirit) there is hope many will "see",&lt;br /&gt;"see" the "I" for what it is, and then desire to be set free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that Spirit that was in The Messiah&amp;nbsp;can "set&amp;nbsp;you free, free indeed"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, There Is Hope!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Miracles do happen.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;ope is there would be those who experience The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The Truth" for they will "see" The Light that is The Messiah,&amp;nbsp;which clearly&amp;nbsp;reveals&amp;nbsp;that The Life is of The Spirit(not seen with the natural eye), and most certainly not of the flesh or fleshly mind("I",ego,id,self,pride).......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(darkness) that is of this world and it's systems of religion, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion)&amp;nbsp;world is under the control of the evil one" indeed and Truth.......(1John5:19)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Truth&amp;nbsp;IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adide in Truth....... francis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;(i have returned to this place&amp;nbsp;they call the  u.s.a.&amp;nbsp;and am currently on what i like to call a no-mad-ness journey.

Three times 'Joshua' is referred  to in The New Testament, yet each time the reference to Joshua was translated as  'jesus' in the kjv....... (Acts7:45, Heb4:8,  Col4:11)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confusion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But at least those who translated the 'kjv'  were consistent for they always transliterated the pagan greek "iesous" as  'jesus' in The New Covenant even when it referred to "Joshua" of the old  covenant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, Joshua of the old and The Messiah of The NEW had the  same Hebrew name. So why change the name if both Joshua and The Messiah's GOD  given birth name were the same? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confusion! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Confusion and  every evil work" abound! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The father of lies", he knows why the same  greek word was transliterated both as "Joshua" and  'jesus'!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confusion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And why do most all 'biblical' translations  use the pagan catholic latin word "iesus" rather than the pagan greek "iesous"  when transliterating The Messiah's GOD given Hebrew birth name from the pagan  greek manuscripts? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"iesus" is nowhere to be found in the pagan greek  manuscripts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confusion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The proper transliteration of the pagan  greek "iesous" into modern day english would be 'jesous'. Pagan catholicism most  certainly had her way with her #1 christian daughter, "the church OF england",  and she yet has her way with all her other christian daughters as well  ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religious systems of this world and all alike they are! For they but  gender "confusion and every evil work"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now i am not a "sacred name"  believer but by the Grace of GOD i am one who has received "the love of The  Truth"....... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Truth has revealed that all systems of religion are  of "the father of lies", 'd'evil spirit that is "the god of this world"  ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At times i do refer to the The Messiah as Yahshua(Joshua) or Y'shua,  however i most certainly do not require others to do the same. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet the  pagan catholic/christian 'jesus' has it's root in pagan catholic latin, and i  want naught to do with a name that genders "confusion and every evil  work"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And multiplied millions have been killed and enslaved in the name  of the pagan catholic/christian god(s).......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the fruit of death is  bore of religion's way,&lt;br /&gt;because life is but a pawn in the wicked game they  play!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the many reasons why "The Way of Truth is evil spoken of"  because of pagan catholicism and her harlot christian daughters ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  in the name of their "imag"ined 'jesus', pagan catholicism and her harlot  christian daughters continue to serve "the father of lies"! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for me i  prefer to refer to The Messiah as Immanuel for as Paul testified, "GOD was in  The Messiah" indeed and Truth.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet there is no name, no title,  nothing greater than Our Father!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i most certainly am thankful that  there are others who have seen the confusion caused by the folklore that is  pagan catholicism and her 'reformed(made to appear different outwardly)'  christian daughters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that the brethren of The Messiah have  chosen to "Come Out" of the religious systems, all of which are of this wicked  world! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For we have our portion in The Family of "Our Father and GOD",  "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is  named".......(Eph3:15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the brethren of The Messiah have chosen to  remain but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth", because our  "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven"....... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And soon, and very soon, we  will be taken Home, Home at last!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till then:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!

(Rev11:18c)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet there is a Living, Lively Hope!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, such Hope is not for that which is&amp;nbsp;earthly,&amp;nbsp;natural and temporal, but there is a Living, Lively Hope for that which is&amp;nbsp;Heavenly,&amp;nbsp;Spiritual and Eternal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope! For that which is of The&amp;nbsp;Spirit is Alive! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For "progress"&amp;nbsp;is the product of mankind's "imag"ination, and mankind's "imag"ination&amp;nbsp;can pervert, yet not destroy that which is Spirit! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For that which is Spirit is Real, and that which is Real is Forever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So no matter how perverse this world's systems of religion become, that which is Spirit can only be abused and perverted, not destroyed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For that which is Spirit is Eternal.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Spirit of Truth IS, WAS and ALWAYS WILL BE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as for that which is called "religion"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pure religion and undefiled before GOD The Father is this, to visit the fatherless(children who know not Their Father[Creator]) and widows(those not joined together as One with Our Father and HIS Son[jews rejected and yet reject&amp;nbsp;GOD'S Son]) in their affliction and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the world......." (James 1:27)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, all other religion is impure, defiled and of this wicked&amp;nbsp;world(babylon), and so it is that those who are of this world's religions,&amp;nbsp;those who are yet&amp;nbsp;"contaminated by this world" are destroying the earth.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And notice that "pure and undefiled" religion is of "oneself(personal)", a brother or sister doing The Will of Our Father, led of The Holy, Set Apart, Spirit.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corporate "religion" is pagan, and once again, such religion is of this wicked world(babylon).......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, The Faithful will not create a religion, for The Faithful ARE Family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Family of "Our Father and GOD", "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Eph3:15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For what are "brothers and sisters" if not Family?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would not The Family of The ONE and Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL, known of by many(yet experienced by few), be joined in Spirit as One? And would not such a Family be much closer than any natural, fleshly family?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is declared to be "religion" today is truly the devil's playground!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And multiplied millions have been killed and enslaved in the name of the god(s) of this, or that religion ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the fruit of death is bore of religion's way,&lt;br /&gt;Because life is but a pawn in the wicked game they play!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And because of pagan catholicism and her harlot christian daughters "The Way of&amp;nbsp;Truth is evil spoken of&amp;nbsp;"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that The Call of The ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD yet resounds:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Come Out of her, MY people!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As stated previously, "that which is called ""progress" is of mankind's "imag"ination and can pervert, yet not destroy, that which is Spirit", and so it is that this world, and it's systems of religion, have:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their version of "Light", which can be turned on and off;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their version of "Truth", which is of the "imag"ination;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their version of "Love", which should be called lust;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their version of "Peace", which needs be enforced;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their version of "Hope", which is but a desire for temporal "things";&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their version of "Faith", which is powerless;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their version of "Grace", which is the liberty to "do your own thing";&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And sadly, the favorite color of this world's religion is gray ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So come out of the shadows! And as is said by many, "Get Real"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, "only that which is Spirit is Real, and only that which is Real is Forever"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope is there would be those who "see" that The Life is in and of The Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who "see" will no longer have their portion with the multitudes who are destroying the earth(water, air, land, creatures, vegetation) and perverting that which is Spirit(Truth, Light, Life,&amp;nbsp;Love, Peace, Hope, Faith, Grace, Mercy,,,,, ALL that is&amp;nbsp;Truly GOOD)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, each breath you take, although unseen,&amp;nbsp;should be a revelation of The Source of Life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And "A Simple and Spiritual Life is the only Life that will survive!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forever.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So "set your affections on Heavenly things" and be not of those "whose god is their bellies because they mind earthly things". Be not of those who "love this world and it's things" and who are "progress"ively destroying the earth(land, air, water, vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Truth, Light, Life, Truth, Love, Peace, Hope, Faith, Grace,,,,, ALL that is Truly GOOD).......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world and it's systems of religion, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one" (1John5:19) indeed and Truth.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abide in Truth....... francis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.facebook.com/pages/A-Simple-and-Spiritual-Life/208339295850609&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-4110738845238023045?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/4110738845238023045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=4110738845238023045&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/4110738845238023045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/4110738845238023045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/07/simply-progress-so-called-is-destroying.html' title='The Destruction of The Earth and Perversion of That Which Is Spirit ;-('/><author><name>ElderChild</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OPG5_ScugMU/TjXykgcV0tI/AAAAAAAAAPo/U1uEFwlEM1E/s220/BW%2BCanyon%2BMost%2BBeautiful%2BPic%2B5-21-2011.JPG'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313003557731924077.post-7616508862980419059</id><published>2012-01-08T19:15:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-05T17:29:45.264-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='messiah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miracle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heaven'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gospel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creator'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='father'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='good news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='joy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jesus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kingdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catholic'/><title type='text'>The NEW Covenant and New Covenant Jew(brethren of The Messiah)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Jer 31:31-37 "Behold, the days come, says YHVH, that I will make a NEW  COVENANT with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: NOT ACCORDING TO  THE COVENANT THAT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE TIME THAT I TOOK THEM BY THE  HAND TO BRING THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT FOR THEY BROKE THAT COVENANT,  although I was an husband unto them, says YHVH: (Thankfully no longer natural  "fathers" but YHVH, "Our Father" in "the NEWness of The Spirit not the letter")&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But this shall be the NEW covenant that I will make with the house of  Israel; After those days, says YHVH, I will put my law in their inward parts,  and write it in their hearts(not in stone, but in their heart consciousness);  and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be MY people. ("Come Out of her, MY  people"! No longer be of this world and it's systems of religion) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  every man shall no longer teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying,  "Know YHVH", for they shall all know ME, from the least of them unto the  greatest of them, says YHVH: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will  remember their sin no more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus says YHVH, which gives the sun for a  light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by  night, which divides the sea when the waves thereof roar; YHVH of hosts is HIS  name: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If those ordinances depart from before ME, says YHVH, then the  seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before ME for ever.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus says YHVH; If Heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of  the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for  all that they have done, says YHVH." &lt;br /&gt;------------&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The NEW Covenant established The Truth that, "he is not a Jew who is one  outwardly, whose circumcision is that of the flesh, he is a Jew who is one  inwardly, whose circumcision is of the heart" as he was immersed in, of, by and  through The Holy, Set Apart Spirit that is of The One and Only True GOD,  Father(Creator) of ALL. And all gentile NEW Covenant believers are "grafted into  The Good olive tree", they are of The NEW Covenant Jews. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The NEW  Covenant Israel?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A Holy Nation"....... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Heavenly, Spiritual, and Eternal, not earthly, natural and temporal liken  unto the wicked worldly nations, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is  under the control of the evil one"!

And all New Covenant believers are "aliens and pilgrims while  on the earth" for our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;We are not of this wicked, evil world and it's systems of religion  because we have taken heed unto The Call of The One and Only True GOD, Father  (Creator) of ALL to "Come out of her, MY people".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NEW Covenant  believers are those who follow The Messiah on "the narrow way" for we have  taken heed unto The Call to "Come Out" of this wicked world, and we have have  "set our affections on things above, Heavenly things".......&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;We no longer have our portion with those "whose god is their bellies, and whose glory is in their shame,  because they mind earthly things". We are no longer of those who "love this  world and their own life in, and of it". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, there are multitudes who  profess a belief in The Messiah with their mouth only, for they are "friends of  this world" because they "love this world and it's things" ;-( And so it is that  they "love their own life in and of this world" ;-( Such is not The Will of "Our  Father", HE WHO IS The One and Only True GOD.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And those who do not  seek and desire to do The Will of "Our Father" and "Come Out" of this  world's(babylon) systems, and especially it's religious systems, will hear those  woe filled words spoken by The Messiah, "I never knew you, depart from Me all  you workers of iniquity" ;-( &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;A prime cause for the&amp;nbsp;hearing of such words will be unbelief for they  believed not The Word of Truth which testified that "the WHOLE (not just a  portion) world is under the control of the evil one"! And they believed not The  Messiah Who testified that "this world was evil" and "hated Him", and Who testified that His brethren were "not  of this world"! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully The NEW Covenant believers, the brethren of  The Messiah, have their "citizenship(Life) in Heaven" and we have our portion in "A Holy  Nation" of "kings and priests", all of whom are thankful that, that which was  "decaying and waxing old" DID "vanish away" with the destruction of the natural,  earthly kingdom centered in jerusalem.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Truth IS the old covenant did indeed vanish away,  The NEW Covenant WAS IN Fullness, and IS! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For at the time the old covenant "vanished  away" "THY Kingdom" DID "Come" and IS, for The Messiah delivered up The Kingdom  unto His GOD and Father(Creator) just as Paul prophesied, and The Kingdom of The  One and&amp;nbsp;Only True GOD in Heaven WAS, IS, and ALWAYS WILL BE....... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Messiah had prophesied, "Truly I say unto you, that THERE ARE SOME STANDING  HERE, WHO WILL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, UNTIL THEY HAVE SEEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD COME  IN POWER".(Mark 9:1, Luke 9:7, Matthew 16:28) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in The Power that is  The Spirit of Truth the prophecy was fulfilled!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No longer old, natural,  earthly and temporal, The Kingdom of The One and Only True GOD WAS, IS, and  ALWAYS WILL BE NEW, Spiritual, Heavenly and Eternal....... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The New  Covenant Jew(brother of The Messiah) is the True Hebrew(one from beyond) today!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/07/who-is-hebrew.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it is that yesterday, today, and if there be a tomorrow, that  "the chosen ones", "the elect", The NEW Covenant believer, the Spiritual Jew,  "the brethren of The Messiah", continue to "fight the good fight of Faith" as  they but seek and desire that which is NEW, Spiritual, Heavenly and  Eternal.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;For we realize&amp;nbsp;our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven", and&amp;nbsp;we choose to be  but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth".......&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;So it is that&amp;nbsp;we desire to "forsake all" and&amp;nbsp;"suffer the loss of all  things, Yes, and&amp;nbsp;our own life as well"....... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For "Love suffers long", and  so it is that the brethren of The Messiah can rejoice, even as we do "suffer  long"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving ALL Thanks and Praise Unto The One and&amp;nbsp;Only True GOD,  Father(Creator) of ALL!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;And, "Oh, the Joy that comes in the Morning(mourning)"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;For we realize that soon, and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at last!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Till then:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

natural man does  not receive the things that are of The Spirit of GOD, for they are foolishness  unto him and he can not know them, for the things that are of The Spirit of GOD  needs be Spiritually discerned" (1Cor2:14).......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As for "Pure Religion  And Undefiled".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pure religion and undefiled before GOD The Father  is this, to visit The Fatherless (those who&amp;nbsp;have no&amp;nbsp;relationship with The  Father{Creator} of ALL) and widows

(James1:27)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, ALL other religion is  impure and defiled.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And notice that "pure and undefiled" religion  is "oneself(personal)", The Brethren of The Messiah doing The Will of Our  Father, as they are led by The Holy, Set Apart, Spirit.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply,  corporate "religion" is pagan and of this wicked world ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;catholicism,  christianity, judaism, islam, buddhist,,,, etc.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Multiplied millions have been killed and enslaved in the name of the god[s]  of this, or that religion ;-(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;So&amp;nbsp;it is&amp;nbsp;that the fruit of death is bore of religion's way,&lt;br /&gt;Because life  is but a pawn in the wicked game they play!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /&gt;Religion was  needful for "a disobedient and gainsaying people" who would that a man, rather  than GOD, speak too,&amp;nbsp;and rule over them ;-(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And simply, The Faithful will not create a religion, for The  Faithful ARE Family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Family of "Our Father and GOD", "of WHOM the  whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Col3:15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Brethren"&amp;nbsp;is  not 'religion', for what are the brethren of The Messiah and sons of "Our GOD  and&amp;nbsp;Father" if not Family? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;And would not The Family of The One and Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of  ALL, be much closer than a natural, fleshly family?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it is that  many of those who have chosen to follow The Messiah on "The Narrow Way" have had  to "forsake their natural father, mother, brothers, sisters", and all others who  would not follow The Messiah on "The Narrow Way"&amp;nbsp;because&amp;nbsp;of they&amp;nbsp;"loved this  wicked world and their own life in(and of) it".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The brethren of The  Messiah have "forsaken all for The Kingdom of Heaven's sake", and so it is that  we are truly "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" for we have realized&amp;nbsp;that  our&amp;nbsp;"citizenship(Life) is in Heaven", and that soon, and very soon, we will be  taken Home, Home at last!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Till then:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is  declared to be "religion" today is the devil's playground  indeed.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And once again, "The Faithful will not create a system of  religion, for The Faithful&amp;nbsp; ARE Family"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Thankfully, while there is breath there is hope!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;For Miracles do happen.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Hope is there would be those who experience The Miracle that is  receiving "a love of The&amp;nbsp;Truth" for they will&amp;nbsp;take heed unto The Call of The ONE  and Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL, to "Come Out of her, MY  people"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They who receive "a love of The Truth"&amp;nbsp;will "Come Out" of the  systems that are of this wicked world(babylon), and especially it's systems of  religion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they&amp;nbsp;will they enter into&amp;nbsp;"the glorious Liberty of the  children of The Only True GOD".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that they will no longer have  their portion with those who are destroying the earth(air, water, land,  vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Truth, Light,&amp;nbsp;Life,  Love, Peace, Hope, Faith, Mercy, Grace, Miracles,,,,,, All that is Truly  GOOD).......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this  world and it's systems of religion, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is  under the control of the evil one" indeed and Truth.......(1John  5:19)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Thankfully Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Abide in Truth....... francis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

The Messiah preached, was recorded in Matthew 3:12,4:17,10:7, Mark 1:15, Luke 10:9, 21:31.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"The Kingdom Of GOD(Heaven) Is At Hand"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

They belong to the same body, and they share together in the promise that GOD made in The Messiah. By GOD's special gift of grace given to me through his power, I became a servant to tell that Good News.” (Ephesians 3:6-7)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;And The Good News of The Promise?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;“The Kingdom Of Heaven(GOD) Is At Hand”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;A Lively, Living Hope Of Heaven!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;When Paul began his ministry, after GOD had “raised up The Messiah from among the dead”, he testified that “believers were translated into The KINGDOM OF GOD’s BELOVED SON”. (Col1:13)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAD COME!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;And “The Good News” after the destruction of the temporal, earthly, natural&amp;nbsp;'kingdom'&amp;nbsp;centered in&amp;nbsp;Jerusalem?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;For The Messiah delivered up The Kingdom unto&amp;nbsp;Our GOD and Father!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;All Thanks And Praise Be Unto Our Father!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Believers have a Living Hope of Heaven!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;So why is it so many still believe that “The Kingdom of GOD(Heaven)” is yet to come?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;"What is Truth"?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Pilate" asked The Messiah that question after The Messiah testified, "You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness to The Truth. Everyone that is of The Truth hears My voice"! (John 18:38)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Do you hear The Messiah’s voice?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Messiah previously had testified, "The Words that I speak are not My Words”. “For I have not spoken of Myself; but The Father which sent Me, HE gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.” (John 3:34, 12:49) Later The Messiah testified to His disciples, "As GOD sent Me, so send I you"! (John 14:10)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;“What is Truth”?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Messiah bore witness unto The Truth, as He revealed The Way to The Truth of The Life, both in His Teachings and Life example, both of which were given Him by Our Father.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And The Truth of “The Good News”?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;"The Kingdom Of GOD(Heaven) Is At Hand"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Hope Of Heaven!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now when The Messiah was raised from among the dead and ascended into Heaven He was given His rightful place at the right hand of Our Father and GOD, and "all power was given Him(by His Father and GOD) in Heaven and in earth?" "The Kingdom" HAD "Come"! And The Faithful "were translated into The Kingdom of GOD’s Beloved Son"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Giving thanks unto The Father, WHO has made us able to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in Light: WHO has delivered us from the power of darkness, and HAS translated us into The Kingdom of HIS Beloved Son:" (Col 1:12-13) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;All Thanks And Praise Be Unto Our Father!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And Paul testified of the time when The Messiah would deliver up The Kingdom unto Our Father and GOD and The Messiah would be submitted unto Our Father and GOD once again. (1 Cor 15:22-28)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Then the END comes, when The Messiah shall have delivered up The Kingdom to GOD, even The Father; when The Messiah shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For The Messiah must reign(after He was resurrected), till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For GOD has put all things under The Messiah's feet. But when GOD said, all things are put under The Messiah, it is manifest that HE(GOD) is excepted, WHO did put all things under The Messiah. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And when all things shall be subdued unto The Messiah, then shall The Son also, Himself be subject unto GOD, HE WHO put all things under Him, so that GOD may be all in all." (1 Cor 15:22-28) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Then the END comes, when The Messiah shall have delivered up The Kingdom to GOD, even The Father…….”!

(Heb 8:13)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;That which was decaying and waxing old was the old, earthly “covenant of laws”, and “The END” was the destruction of the earthly, natural “kingdom”&amp;nbsp;centered in&amp;nbsp;Jerusalem! That earthly&amp;nbsp;realm would be no more!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;All Thanks And Praise Be Unto Our Father!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;So believers were, and are, exhorted to;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: left;"&gt;"Set their affections on things above(Heaven), not things of the earth"! (Col 3:2) “Be not of those whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame because they mind earthly things.” (Phlp 3:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Now why such exhortations?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;“Spiritually Reborn!” A believers “citizenship (Life) was, and is, in Heaven"! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(Phlp 3:20)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And believers “had been translated into The Kingdom of GOD’s Beloved Son”. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(Col 1:13)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;They Had A Living, Lively Hope of Heaven!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So “We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for things seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. We know that our body—the tent we live in here on earth—will be destroyed. But when that happens, GOD will have a house for us. It will not be a house made by human hands; instead, it will be a home in Heaven that will last forever. But for now we groan in this tent. We want GOD to give us our Heavenly home, because it will clothe us so we will not be naked. While we live in this body, we have burdens, and we groan. We do not want to be naked, but we want to be clothed with our Heavenly home. Then this body that dies will be fully covered with Life. This is what GOD made us for, and he has given us The Spirit to be a guarantee for this New Life. So we always have courage. We know that while we live in this body, we are away from GOD. We live by what we believe, not by what we can see. So I say that we have courage. We really want to be away from this body and be at home with Our Father for our only goal is to please HIM whether we live here or there.” (2 Cor 4:18, 5:1-9) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: left;"&gt;The Kingdom of GOD’s Beloved Son HAD Come and believers were translated into The Kingdom! (Colossians 1:13)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;”The END” of the old, earthly covenant was At Hand, for it was “decaying, waxing old”, and would soon “vanish away”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And it did! Thanks Be Unto Our Father!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Old Jerusalem was destroyed The END came. It was then that The Messiah delivered up The Kingdom unto Our Father and GOD! The Heavenly, Spiritual Kingdom of GOD WAS, and always WILL BE!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;THY Kingdom” HAD “Come"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, The Messiah said, As for these things which you behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And they asked Him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? And what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And He said, Take heed that you are not deceived: for many shall come in My name, saying, I am messiah; and the time draws near: do not go after them. But when you shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass, but The End is not by and by. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Then said He unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. And they shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what you will answer: for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there SHALL NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEAD PERISH. In your patience possess your souls.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is at hand. Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter there. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! For there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the heathen, until the times of the heathens are fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up YOUR heads, for YOUR redemption draws near. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And He spoke a parable to them; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; when they now shoot forth, you see and know of your own selves that summer is now close at hand. So likewise YOU, when YOU see these things come to pass, YOU know that The Kingdom of GOD(Heaven) is close at hand. Truly I say unto YOU, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED."(Luke 21:5-33) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And The Messiah testified, "Truly I say unto YOU, that this generation shall not pass, till ALL these things be done."(Mark 13:30) "Truly I say unto YOU, This generation shall not pass, till ALL these things be fulfilled."(Matt 24:34) (The word "YOU" in the above testimonies referred to those whom The Messiah was speaking to at that time, not two thousand, or more, years after!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Simply, with the destruction of the earthly, natural Jerusalem, that "which waxed old" DID "vanish away"! (Heb 8:13)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Kingdom no longer had a physical presence, in a precise location on the earth, The Kingdom of GOD was now fully of The Spirit, Heavenly. The END of the Old, earthly&amp;nbsp;realm WAS! "THY Kingdom" HAD "Come" indeed and Truth, and believers were, and are, translated into The Kingdom of their GOD and Father! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;A Living Hope of Heaven!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And so it is believers were and are exhorted to “love not the world, neither things that are in the world, for all that is in the world, the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life is not of Our Father, but is of the world”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Believers knew that their “citizenship” was now in Heaven, and that “whosoever would be a friend of this world was the enemy of The Only True GOD”! (Phlp 3:20, James 4:4) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And The Messiah testified that “the works of the world were evil”(John 7:7) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And John testified, “the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one”! &lt;br /&gt;(1John5:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Paul, what was his desire?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul testified, "I am in a strait between the two, for I have a desire to depart, and to be with The Messiah, which is far better. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for all of you. And having that confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of Faith." (Phil 1:23-25)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And Paul testified, "WE WHICH ARE ALIVE and remain SHALL BE CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds to meet The Messiah in the air: and so shall WE ever be with The Messiah."(1Thes 4:17:18) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And again Paul testified, "I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And GOD WILL DELIVER ME FROM EVERY EVIL WORK, AND WILL PRESERVE ME UNTO HIS Heavenly Kingdom: to WHOM be Glory for ever and ever…. Amen(Let it be so)” (2Tim 4:17-18)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul was alive and taken up "in the clouds to meet The Messiah in the air" when the physical, earthly, natural realm centered in Jerusalem was destroyed. At that time “The Messiah came in the clouds". And at that time of “the END" of that old age, The Messiah delivered up The Kingdom unto Our Father and subjected Himself unto HIM once again, just as Paul had prophesied in 1 Corinthians 15:24.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;All Thanks And Praise Be Unto “Our Father”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Messiah had testified, "Behold, I COME QUICKLY: hold that fast which YOU have, that no man take YOUR crown." (Rev 3:11) “Behold, I COME QUICKLY! Blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book."(Rev 22:7) Behold, I COME QUICKLY, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be."(Rev 22:12)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And Paul testified, "YET&amp;nbsp;A LITTLE WHILE, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry."&amp;nbsp;(Heb 10:37)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And the apostle John testified, "He Who testifies concerning these things said to me, surely I COME QUICKLY". Amen(So be it). Even so, come Y'shua Messiah!"(Rev 22:20) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And The Messiah DID Come Quickly!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Messiah came at "The END" of the old covenant when the natural, earthly, physical realm&amp;nbsp;centered in Jerusalem was destroyed. That which was "decaying and waxing old" DID "vanish away"! (Heb 8:13)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;So&amp;nbsp;it is that today&amp;nbsp;The Faithful desire to be taken Home, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;for&amp;nbsp;a "place has been prepared for them"! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Home! Home at last! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Faithful await their final transformation, "caterpillar to butterfly", "corruptible to incorruptible", indeed and Truth.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Faithful have a Lively, Living Hope Of Heaven, and such a Hope gives them the strength and courage to take heed unto The Call of The Only True GOD&amp;nbsp;to "Come out of her(this world and it's religions), MY people"! (Rev 18:4)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-eases(lies) that are of this wicked world and it’s systems of religion, for “the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one” indeed and Truth…….. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Abide in Truth.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-593085570449075224?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/593085570449075224/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=593085570449075224&amp;isPopup=true' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/593085570449075224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/593085570449075224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/10/hope-of-heaven-for-hope-which-is-laid.html' title='&quot;The Good News&quot; that is &quot;The Hope of Heaven&quot;!'/><author><name>ElderChild</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OPG5_ScugMU/TjXykgcV0tI/AAAAAAAAAPo/U1uEFwlEM1E/s220/BW%2BCanyon%2BMost%2BBeautiful%2BPic%2B5-21-2011.JPG'/></author><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313003557731924077.post-7144143029419274976</id><published>2012-01-02T12:48:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-10T18:18:15.539-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='messiah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heaven'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miracle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='truth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hope'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creator'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='father'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='riches'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spirit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='suffer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simple'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kingdom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catholic'/><title type='text'>The Messiah testified, "A Spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have"!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And simply, The ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL, was, is, and  always will be SPIRIT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For The Messiah testified, "GOD IS A SPIRIT and they that worship HIM must  worship HIM in Spirit and Truth"! (John 4:24)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it was as Paul  testified, "GOD(HE WHO IS SPIRIT) was&amp;nbsp;IN The Messiah reconciling the world unto  HIMself(GOD)"! (2&amp;nbsp; Cor 5:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that GOD(SPIRIT) took on sinful "human"  flesh, but that HE, WHO IS SPIRIT, entered into The Messiah, who was "born in  the likeness of sinful flesh".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If The Messiah was god, there would  have been no need for The SPIRIT that is GOD to enter into Him.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Messiah, "The Son of The Living GOD"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son of GOD and Son of man indeed  and Truth, and The Messiah was "the firstborn of many brethren"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  because The SPIRIT that is GOD entered into Him, The Messiah  testified:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 5:30 "I can of do nothing of My own self....... As I  hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but  The Will of The Father WHO has sent Me." *It should be so with the brethren of  The Messiah as well*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 8:28-29 "Then said The Messiah unto them, "When  you have lifted up The Son of man, then shall you know that I am He, and that I  do nothing of My own self, but as My Father has taught Me, I speak those things.  And HE that sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left me alone, for I do  always those things that please HIM.""&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 12:49-50 "I have not spoken  of Myself, but the Father WHO sent Me, HE gave Me a commandment, what I should  say, and what I should speak. And I know that HIS commandment is Life  Everlasting! Whatever I speak therefore, even as The Father said unto Me, so I  speak."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 14:10 "Don't you believe that I am in The Father, and the  Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself, but The  Father WHO dwells in Me, HE does The Works."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 14:23-24 "The Messiah  answered and said unto him, "If a man loves Me, he will keep My words: and My  Father will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He  that does not love Me does not keep my sayings, and The Word which you hear is  not Mine, but The Father's WHO sent Me.""&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 17:8 The Messiah  testified, For I have given unto them The Words which YOU(GOD) gave Me; and they  have received them, and have known surely that I came out from YOU, and they  have believed that YOU sent me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 17:14 The Messiah testified, "I  have given them YOUR Word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of  the world, even as I am not of the world."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 17:3 "And this is Life  Eternal, that they might know YOU, The Only True GOD, and The Messiah Whom YOU  have sent"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Isaiah prophesied of the coming Messiah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A Servant of, and  sent by YHVH".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 42:1-5 "Behold MY(YHVH) Servant(The Messiah),  Whom I uphold, MY elect in Whom MY soul delights! I have put MY Spirit upon Him  and He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He(The Messiah) shall  not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not  quench.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He shall bring forth judgment unto Truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He shall not  fail nor be discouraged, till He have set judgment in the earth, and the isles  shall wait for His law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus says YHVH(GOD the LORD), HE that created the  heavens, and stretched them out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HE(YHVH) that spread forth the earth,  and that which comes out of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HE that gives breath unto the people upon  it, and Spirit to them that walk therein!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 43:10-11 "You are MY  witnesses, says YHVH(the LORD), and MY Servant Whom I have chosen, that you may  know and believe ME, and understand that I AM HE!" *The ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD,  Father(Creator) of ALL*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before ME(YHVH) there was no god formed, neither  shall there be after ME! *The ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD, Father(Creator) of  ALL*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Corinthians 5:19 "GOD(HE WHO IS SPIRIT) was in The Messiah" indeed  and Truth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 53:1-12 "Who has believed our report? and to whom is  the arm of YHVH(the LORD) revealed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For He(The Messiah) shall grow up  before HIM(YHVH) as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He  has no form nor comeliness, and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that  we should desire Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is despised and rejected of men, a man of  sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces from Him.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surely He has borne our  grief's, and carried our sorrows, yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of  GOD(YHVH), and afflicted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But He was wounded for our transgressions, He  was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and  with His stripes we are healed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All we like sheep had gone astray, we had  turned every one to his own way, and YHVH(the LORD) has laid on Him the iniquity  of us all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not his  mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before  her shearers is dumb, so He opens not his mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was taken from prison  and from judgment, and who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out  of the land of the living, for the transgression of MY(YHVH) people was He  stricken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His  death, because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His  mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet it pleased YHVH(the LORD) to bruise Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HE(YHVH) has  put Him(The Messiah) to grief, when HE(YHVH) will make His soul an offering for  sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HE(YHVH) shall see His seed, HE shall prolong His days, and the  pleasure of YHVH(the LORD) shall prosper in His hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HE(YHVH) shall see  the travail of His(The Messiah) soul, and shall be satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By His(The  Messiah) knowledge SHALL MY(YHVH) RIGHTEOUS SERVANT(The Messiah)&amp;nbsp;justify many,  for He shall bear their iniquities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore will I(YHVH) divide Him(The  Messiah) a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the  strong, because He has poured out His soul unto death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And He(The  Messiah) was numbered with the transgressors, and He bare the sin of many, and  made intercession for the transgressors."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; HE DID!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah, "A Servant of, and sent by, The Only  True GOD"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Thanks and Praise Be Unto Our Father!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!

(Psalms 73:12)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And "The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted." (Psalms 12:8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past year there has been many "well to do" folk who have promised to "give away half of their riches(money)".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That brought back memories of a time some 25 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i can relate to those rich folk because at that time i was tempted with "riches" and i also believed i would give half of those 'riches' away. And yes, at that time i considered such would be a righteous act ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had developed the first functioning, viable system of that which today has become a multi-billion dollar business. There were articles written concerning the new system that were published in&amp;nbsp; trade magazine and technological publications. And ibm sure wanted to do whatever they could for me so that i might join them in their quest for "riches" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully "the love of The Truth" i had received prior to that time kept me from my own desires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully my desire for those "riches" which were mine for the taking wasn't worth as much to me as that "love of The Truth" i had received! That's not how i would have phrased it back then when i came out from among those who served "the father of lies", yet that was the way it was, in spite of me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that i was required to lie, but just have my portion with the liars. And as i had proceeded on the "broad way" to "riches", the liars seemed to appear out of nowhere and surround me ;-(&amp;nbsp; Kind of a "i'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" mentality ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully, in spite of me, Our Father gave me the strength to say "NO MORE", and i could no longer have my portion with the greedy lairs, deceivers, and those who would give or take a&amp;nbsp; bribe as they followed the "broad way that leads to destruction"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully, in spite of me, all that i had worked for and dreamed about came to an end!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that "i know and am persuaded that HE(Our Father) IS able to keep me", and firmly establish The Truth of "THY Will, not my will be done" within my being.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Father knows best indeed and Truth, and so it is that the brethren of The Messiah must be willing to suffer the loss of all things, yes, and our own life as well, just as The Messiah did!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let the suffering begin, for "Love suffers long" indeed and Truth.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it remains just as The Messiah testified, "Woe unto you who are rich! for you have received your consolation." (Luke 6:24)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And then The Messiah said unto his disciples, "Truly I say unto you that a rich man shall hardly enter into The Kingdom of Heaven". And again I say unto you, "It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into The Kingdom of GOD"." (Matthew 19:23-24)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"HE(GOD) has filled the hungry with good things(Truth, Love, Faith, Hope,,,,), and the rich HE has sent away empty." (Luke 1:53)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today we have the rich believing "righteousness" is in giving half of what they are "worth" away ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah testified, "Whoever of you that does not forsake all that he has, he can not be my disciple".......(Luke 14:33)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease's(lies) that are of this world and it's systems of religion. for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) is under the control of the evil one" indeed and Truth.......(1John5:19)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thankfully Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abide in Truth....... francis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Simple-and-Spiritual-Life/208339295850609&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-6888277572468997390?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/6888277572468997390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=6888277572468997390&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/6888277572468997390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/6888277572468997390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/01/behold-these-are-ungodly.html' title='&quot;Behold, these are the ungodly&quot;!'/><author><name>ElderChild</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OPG5_ScugMU/TjXykgcV0tI/AAAAAAAAAPo/U1uEFwlEM1E/s220/BW%2BCanyon%2BMost%2BBeautiful%2BPic%2B5-21-2011.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313003557731924077.post-4461743199165787956</id><published>2011-12-15T07:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-15T08:47:02.143-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='messiah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heaven'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='truth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hope'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creator'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='father'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='good news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spirit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jesus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simple'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kingdom'/><title type='text'>The Oneness that is The Father, HIS Son The Messiah, and The Faithful.......</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;First it is needful to realize that The Faithful would not create a system of  religion for The Faithful ARE Family......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And thankfully The Faithful  are One in The Family of The Messiah's "Father and GOD", "of WHOM the whole  Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Eph 3:15)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 17:20-23 "Neither do I pray  for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their  word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That they all may be One, as YOU Father, are in Me, and I in YOU,  that they also may be One in us, that the world may believe that YOU have sent  Me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the glory which YOU gave Me I have given them, that they may be  One, even as we are One.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I in them, and YOU in Me, that they may be made  perfect in One, and that the world may know that YOU have sent Me, and have  loved them, as YOU have loved Me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all The Faithful in The Family of  "Our Father and GOD" are sons of GOD just as John testified in I John 3:1-3;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Behold, what manner of love The Father has bestowed upon us, that we  should be called the sons of GOD, therefore the world knows us not, because it  knew HIM not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beloved, NOW we are the sons of GOD, and it does not yet  appear what we shall be, but we know that, when He(The Messiah, The Son of GOD)  shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." *= Moses and  Elijah had already been seen LIKE He(The Messiah) IS =*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it is that  the brethren of The Messiah choose to remain but "aliens and pilgrims while on  the earth"! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet we, as well as The Messiah, are IN The Family of "Our  Father and GOD", and while we yet remain ON EARTH our "conversation(Life) is in  Heaven" and we are NOW experiencing Oneness in The Family of "Our Father and  GOD"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And soon and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at  last!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till then:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help!

Only  shadows, and "hell" is the place where shadows dwell and ALL that IS GOOD is  not!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A place void of The Light and The Life, yet the shadows with no substance  remain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And those who choose to abide in the shadows, as they deny and defy The  Truth, will one day be allowed to "see" that which is Real, yet that realization  will but add to their torment, for they will no longer have the opportunity to  experience and receive that which is of The Holy, Set Apart, Spirit(GOD, Father,  Creator) ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And Truth, Light, Life, Love, Peace, Hope, Mercy, Grace, Comfort, etc. ,  ALL that is Truly GOOD, IS of The Holy, Set Apart, Spirit!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Those who are of "The Holy, Set Apart, Spirit" have taken heed unto The  Call of The ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD to "Come Out of her, MY people"! They have  "Come Out" of the systems that are of this wicked, evil world and especially  it's systems of religion.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They no longer have their portion in an of this wicked, evil world, for we  are but "aliens and pilgrims while in the earth", for our "citizenship(Life) is  in Heaven".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Set Apart" indeed and Truth!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sadly, the multitudes have chosen to abide in the temporal shadows  ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So it is they have chosen to set themselves apart from The ONE WHO had  given them The Light of Life, for "they loved darkness more than The Light  because their deeds were evil" ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They set themselves apart from The ONE they denied and defied because they  "loved this wicked, evil world and/or their own("I", ego, id, self) life in it"  ;-(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They set themselves apart because their hope was for, and they loved, the  fulfillment of desires that satisfied their fleshly mind and body.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They set themselves apart because they loved that which was natural,  earthly and temporal, rather than that which IS Spiritual, Heavenly and  Eternal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Simply, they set themselves apart because they wanted things their way, not  The Creator's Way as revealed in The Life example and Teachings of The  Messiah.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For The Messiah desired above all else, "Father, not my will, But THY Will  Be Done", and His brethren should desire the same!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For Our Father, HE knows what is best for HIS children, HIS Creation!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thankfully so, for that which was once considered to be the worst of times,  became that which was the best of time for those with a Living Hope!

(1Cor2:14)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with a multitude of words in any two languages having more than one meaning, religions most certainly translate in accordance with the way their religious dogma dictates, not GOD'S(Father{Creator}) Way!

Those who believe Michael the archangel and their version of the pagan catholic/christian 'jesus' are one in the same. Just another translation biased in accordance with the religious dogma and theo'ry'logical doctrines of the translators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the 'jesus only' folk? Those who believe that their version of the pagan catholic/christian 'jesus' is god the father, and is god the son, and is god the holy spirit. They have their 'biblical' version named "the full life study bible: an international study bible for {deluded} pentecostal and charismatic christians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have made sure that "I AM's"&amp;nbsp;abound when referring to The Messiah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today's "messianic communities" have their "sacred name" versions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some with their very own personalized version of 'YHVH' and "Y'shua, be it 'YHWH' or 'Yahvah' or 'Yahweh" or 'Yeshua' or 'Yahshua' or ?.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i believe anyone who has received "the love of The Truth" can clearly "see", or will "see", that religious dogma(folklore) rules in each and every religious system, for they all are of of this wicked, evil world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they will "see" that religious dogma has influenced(perverted) all 'biblical' translations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, multiplied millions have been killed and enslaved in the name of the god(s) of this, or that system of religion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And because of such "The Way of Truth is evil spoken of" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope is there would be those who take heed unto The Call to "Come Out of her, MY people"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Come Out" of the systems that are of this wicked, evil world(babylon) and especially it's systems of religion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, thankfully Our Father, HE yet reveals all things!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And such experience should be The Teacher!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experiencing immersion in, of, by and thru The Holy, Set Apart, Spirit which endues one with The Power that enables them to overcome this wicked world, even as they receive of the "strong meat" that is spiritual discernment, and which is needful to rightly divide "The Word of Truth", no matter the translation.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope is there would be those who experience The Miracle that is receiving "the love of The Truth" for they will "see" The Light that is The Messiah and experience "The Power that raised Him from among the dead"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Thanks and Praise Be Unto Our Father!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that the brethren of The Messiah choose to&amp;nbsp;be&amp;nbsp;but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" for we have&amp;nbsp;realized that our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven", and we are no longer of this "wicked, evil world(babylon)" and it's systems of religion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For we are of The Faithful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Help! &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Faithful will not create a religion, for The Faithful ARE Family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TRUTH is not a religion, TRUTH IS!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And TRUTH IS the brethren of The Messiah are "sons of GOD" and ARE Family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Family of "Our Father and GOD", "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"! (Eph3:15)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And soon, and very soon, the brethren of The Messiah will be taken Home, Home at last.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till then:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Father Help! and HE Does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Simple-and-Spiritual-Life/208339295850609" title="http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Simple-and-Spiritual-Life/208339295850609CTRL + Click to follow link"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Simple-and-Spiritual-Life/208339295850609&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this wicked world, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one" indeed and Truth.......(1John5:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abide in Truth....... francis&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-8262946131601453828?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/8262946131601453828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=8262946131601453828&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/8262946131601453828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/8262946131601453828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/01/all-biblical-translations-are.html' title='All &apos;biblical&apos; Translations Are Biased!'/><author><name>ElderChild</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OPG5_ScugMU/TjXykgcV0tI/AAAAAAAAAPo/U1uEFwlEM1E/s220/BW%2BCanyon%2BMost%2BBeautiful%2BPic%2B5-21-2011.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313003557731924077.post-6551923662446288812</id><published>2011-11-28T08:48:00.005-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-29T07:50:05.103-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miracle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heaven'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='truth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hope'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creator'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='father'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spirit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='joy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jesus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simple'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catholic'/><title type='text'>Simply.... Sufficiency is of The Creator and HIS Creation!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Many strive for self-sufficiency, yet every breath they take should reveal that, that which sustains the life given them is not within their own self or being, but emanates from without!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John The Baptist testified, "He(The Messiah) Whom The Only True GOD has sent speaks The Words of GOD, for GOD does not give The Spirit by measure unto Him." (John 3:34)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah testified, "I have greater witness than that of John: for The Works which The Father has given Me to finish, are the same Works that I do, and they bear witness of Me, that The Father has sent Me." (John 5:36)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah also testified, "I have not spoken of Myself; but The Father WHO sent Me, HE gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and how I should speak." (John 12:49)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah, Who spoke The Words "Our Father" gave Him testified that sufficiency is of Creation and The Creator(Our Father)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do not lay up treasures for yourselves upon earth, for that is what moth and rust can corrupt, and where thieves can break through and steal! But lay up treasures for yourselves in Heaven, where neither moth or rust can corrupt, and where thieves can not break through and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart is also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The light of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is single, your whole body shall be full of light! But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No man can serve two masters. For he will either hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You can not serve both The Only True GOD and money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink! Nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not The Life more than meat, and the body than clothes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Behold the fowls of the air! For they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why do you take thought for clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these flowers. Wherefore, if The Only True GOD so clothes the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall HE not much more clothe you, O you of little Faith?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, how shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the worldly seek) For your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But seek first the Kingdom of GOD, and HIS righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you! Therefore take no thought for tomorrow, for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Every day has evils enough of it's own." (Matthew 6:19-34)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply sad for all those who believe in or seek&amp;nbsp;"self-sufficiency" ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now The Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL, HE promised to "fulfill all the needs of HIS Children richly, through HIS Son The Messiah"! (Phlp 4:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Life is sustained by Our Father(Creator), in and of HIS Creation and HIS Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, sufficiency is of The Creator and HIS Creation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, The Messiah testified, "I have not spoken of Myself; but The Father WHO sent Me, HE gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and how I should speak." (John 12:49)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't you believe that I am in The Father, and The Father in Me? The Words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but The Father WHO dwells in Me, HE does The Works." (John 14:10)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He that loves Me not, does not keep My sayings: and The Word which you hear is not Mine, but The Father's, HE WHO sent Me." (John 14:24)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have manifested YOUR Name unto the men WHO YOU gave Me out of the world: YOUR's they were, and YOU gave them to Me; and they have kept YOUR Word." (John 17:6)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then answered The Messiah and said unto them, Truly, Truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but that which He has seen The Father do: for whatever things The Father does, those things The Son also does." (John 5:19)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can of Mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because I seek not Mine own will, but The Will of The Father WHO has sent Me." (John 5:30)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Testimonies bear witness to The Messiah being "a servant" of "The ONLY TRUE GOD". (Isaiah 42:1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope is, there will be those reading this who no longer deny and defy their Creator(Father), for The Creator, The Only True GOD and Father of All, HE knows what is best for HIS Creation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creation-sufficiency indeed and Truth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So There Is Hope!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Miracles do happen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope is there may be those who experience The Miracle that is "receiving a love of The Truth", for they will "Come Out" from among those who are destroying Creation(air, water, land,&amp;nbsp;vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Truth, Light,&amp;nbsp;Life, Love, Peace, Faith, Grace, Mercy, Hope,,,,,,, ALL that is Truly GOOD).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who "Come Out" will desire but "A Simple and Spiritual Life", and will no longer be of those The Creator is going to "destroy because they are destroying HIS Creation." (Rev 11:18c)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they will have Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this wicked world and it's systems of religion, for "The WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one"(1Jn5:19) indeed and Truth......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully Truth IS, a lie never was and&amp;nbsp;is not.......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abide in The Truth....... francis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Simple-and-Spiritual-Life/208339295850609"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Simple-and-Spiritual-Life/208339295850609&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313003557731924077-6551923662446288812?l=asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/feeds/6551923662446288812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6313003557731924077&amp;postID=6551923662446288812&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/6551923662446288812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313003557731924077/posts/default/6551923662446288812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/09/simply-sufficiency-is-of-creation.html' title='Simply....

And Our Father, HE raised Him from among the dead.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victory over death was assured.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today it remains as The Messiah testified:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die".......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the question then asked by The Messiah was, "Do you believe this"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And

Home, Home at last.......&amp;nbsp;For this temporal life is liken unto a vapor indeed.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, those who "love this world and their own life(self) in it" will experience death, which is to be&amp;nbsp;forever seperated from The ONE WHO gave them life, the gift of life which they then used to war against&amp;nbsp;The Way, The Truth and The Life&amp;nbsp;as they denied

One."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;John 14:20 "At that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me,

not?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you are of The Messiah's brethren, are you not a son of GOD?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Adopted to be sure, yet are you not a son&amp;nbsp;nonetheless of "Our Father"?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you are not of The Messiah's brethren, while there is breath there is hope that one day you would be.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you are of The Messiah's brethren and a son of GOD, does that not mean you have your portion in The Family of GOD, "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Is not The Family of GOD, Spirit? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And is there not but ONE Holy, Set Apart, Spirit?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you been "Born Again', immersed in, of, and by The Holy, Set Apart, Spirit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you have been "Born Again" don't you have your portion in The Family of GOD?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And are you not One with The Father and The Son?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Those who have their portion in The Family of GOD are truly "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" for their "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So it is that they have taken heed unto The Call of The ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD to "Come Out of her, MY people!".......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;They have "Come Out" of the systems that are of this wicked, evil world, and especially it's systems of religion, for multplied millions have been killed and enslaved in the name of the god(s) of this, or that religion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the fruit of death is bore of religion's way,&lt;br /&gt;Because life is but a pawn in the wicked game they play!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And "The Way of Truth is evil spoken of" because of the systems of religion, all of which are of this wicked, evil world(babylon)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Thankfully the brethren of The Messiah have their portion in The Family of GOD, "of WHOM the whole Family in Heaven and ON EARTH is named"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And as The Messiah testified, so His brethren also testify, "i can do nothing of mine own self".......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So it was that The Messiah desired above all else, "Father, not MY will, But THY Will Be Done"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Should not the brethren of The Messiah also desire the same?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;i can't.......&amp;nbsp; "Our Father", HE CAN!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And The Messiah forsook all.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, His Own Life as well!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Should not His brethren, those who are One with The Father and

(Rev 1:1, 3:14) &amp;nbsp;LIGHT begot Light!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah bore witness of His Brethren&amp;nbsp;when He testified, “My GOD is your GOD and My Father(Creator) is your Father(Creator).” (Jn 20:17)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah testified “I have sent My angel to you with this testimony for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David. I am the bright Morning Star(Light)”! (Rev 22:16) ) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter testified, "We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and The Morning Star(Light)arises in your hearts."(2Pt 1:19) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, HIS own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of HIM who called you out of darkness into His marvelous Light."(1Pt2:9) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And the evening(darkness) and The Morning (Light) was the First Day).” (Gen 1:5)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;LIGHT Begot Light!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;“The Beginning of The Creation of GOD”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very important to both know and experience The Messiah as He Is, Was and always Will Be, and also to know the "glory He had with Our Father" before He was born in "the likeness of sinful flesh". (John 17:5, Rom 8:3) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;For&amp;nbsp;The Messiah Was, Is,&amp;nbsp;and always Will Be, The&amp;nbsp;Son of The Living GOD(Our Father”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;First, let me simply state that I do not believe the "catholic” and “christian" theo’ry’logical doctrines concerning “The Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL”. For they “imag”ine a three-headed “GOD" they call their “trinity”, or they declare their “christ” to be their “god and father", or they believe that The Messiah was but an exalted messenger(angel) or prophet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John The Baptist testified, “And I saw, and bare record that The Messiah is the Son of GOD(Our Father).”(John 1:34) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter testified, “You are The Messiah, The Son of The Living GOD(Father of ALL)”!(Matt 16:16) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the Ethiopian eunuch testified, “I believe that The Messiah is The Son of GOD(Our Father)”. (Acts 8:37) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the Heavens, The Messiah, The Son of GOD(Our Father), let us hold fast our profession.” (Heb 4:14) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“These things are written so that you might believe that The Messiah is The Son of GOD(Our Father)”. (John 20:31) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah testified that He was “The Son of GOD”, and that His GOD was “The Only True GOD(Father of ALL)”.(John 10:36,17:3) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Messiah also testified that He was the “Son of man” and “The Light of the world”. (Matt 26:64, John 8:12)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is needful to believe that The Messiah Was, Is and always Will Be "The Son of The Living GOD", and that there is but “One GOD, HE WHO is Father(Creator) of ALL”. (Mat 16:16, Eph 4:6) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messiah bore witness of His brethren when He testified after being “raised from among the dead”, “I ascend to My Father and your Father, to My GOD and your GOD” (John 20:17)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Is The Messiah’s "Father and GOD" your Father and GOD?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Are you of&amp;nbsp;The Messiah's brethren?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;“Let There Be Light”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, It is very important to both know and experience The Messiah as He Was, Is and always Will Be. The Messiah simply testified in John 17:5 "And now O Father, glorify Me with YOUR own self with the glory that I had with YOU before the world began”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to that testimony The Messiah had testified, “Yet a little while is The Light with you. Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness comes upon you: for he that walks in darkness does not know where he goes. While you have Light, believe in The Light, that you may be the children of LIGHT.” (John 12:35-36)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the apostle John bore witness to The Truth in John 1:1-13: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and The Word was GOD. (John did not testify that The Word is GOD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same was in the beginning with GOD. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All things were made by Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Him was Life; and The Life was The Light of men. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Light shined in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a man sent from GOD, whose name was John. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same came for a witness, to bear witness of The Light, that all men through Him might believe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He(John the baptist) was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was the True Light, which enlightens every man that comes into the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He(The Messiah) was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His name: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of “The Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL”." &lt;br /&gt;It is needful to realize that The Messiah testified of “The Only True GOD” in John 17:3, and so it is that The GOD and Father of The Messiah IS, WAS and always WILL BE “The Only True GOD”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;“And The Only True GOD” is “Father(Creator) of ALL”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And “The Father(Creator) of ALL” is “Our Father”, HE WHO IS “The Only True GOD” and Father of The Messiah and His brethren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the apostle John testified in John 3:17-21: “For Our Father sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He that believes on Him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of GOD(Our Father). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For every one that does evil hates The Light, neither comes to The Light, lest his deeds should be reproved. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he that does Truth comes to The Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in GOD(Our Father, Creator).”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In John 12:34 the people asked, “Who is this Son of man? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then in John 12:35-36, “The Messiah said unto them, yet a little while is The Light with you. Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walks in darkness does not know where he goes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While you have Light, believe in The Light, that you may be the children of LIGHT. The Messiah spoke these things, and departed, and hid Himself from them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, "In The Beginning" The Only True GOD spoke The Word, "Let There Be Light", “And there was Light”! “And there was evening(darkness) and there was morning (Light), The First Day”. (Gen 1:5) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certainly such “Light” was not "natural" light, for “natural” light, the sun, moon, and stars were not created until the “fourth day”. (Gen 1:14-19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In the beginning", “The First Day”, The Father of All created "The Light", without which Creation and Life, as we now know and experience it, could not have been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The First Day, “The Light”, The Messiah, "The beginning of the Creation of GOD (HE WHO is The Only True GOD and Father of ALL)”! (Gen 1:3, Rev 3:14, John 17:3, Eph 4:6) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And “The Only True GOD” created all “things” by, through, in and of “The Light”, The Messiah, “The Son of The Living GOD” and “Son of man”! (Col 1:15, Eph 3:9, Mat 16:16, Mat 12:32) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;LIGHT begot Light!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And "The True Light which enlightens every man coming into the world", was born as a child destined to be The Messiah. (John 1:9, Mat 1:21)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, “The Light of the world”. (John 8:12, 9:5)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, "The firstborn of&amp;nbsp;all Creation". (Col 1:15)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, “Begotten of Our Father”, "The firstborn among many Brethren".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(Heb 1:5) (Ps 2:7) (Rom 8:29)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, "A servant of The Only True GOD(Father(Creator of ALL)". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(Isa 42:1-7)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, “The Lamb of GOD”. (John 1:29,36)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, "The firstborn from among the dead".(Col 1:18)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Once again: "In The Beginning" Our Father, “The Only True GOD” said:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;""Let There Be Light", and there was Light"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, "The Beginning of the Creation of GOD", &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"the firstborn of&amp;nbsp;All Creation". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(Gen 1:3, John 17:3, Rev 3:14, Col 1:15)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;All Thanks and&amp;nbsp;Praise&amp;nbsp;Be Unto “Our Father”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, The Creation of "The Only True GOD, Father of ALL"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(Rev 3:14)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, "made so much better than the angels"! (Heb 1:4)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, "The Light of the world"!(John 8:12, 9:5)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;“The Lamb of GOD”, “The Light of The New Heavenly Jerusalem”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(Rev 21:22-23)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul experienced “The Light “ on the road to Damascus. “And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and came near unto Damascus about noontime, suddenly a great Light from Heaven shone round about me. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I answered, "Who are You, Master"? And He said unto me, I am Yehowshuwa’ (Y'shua, Joshua) of Nazareth, Whom you persecute. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they that were with me saw The Light, and were afraid; but they did not hear the voice of Him that spoke to me. And I said, "What shall I do, Master"? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And He said unto me, arise and go into Damascus, and there you shall be told all things which are appointed for you to do. And when I could not see for the glory of that Light, I was led by the hand into Damascus.” (Acts 22:6-11)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul also testified, “At midday I saw in the way a Light from Heaven, ABOVE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN, shining round about me and those who journeyed with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the HEBREW tongue, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the pricks.” (The Messiah could not have told Paul, “I am jesus” in Acts 22:8 &amp;nbsp;for He spoke in the “HEBREW tongue”) (Acts 26:13-14)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul saw “The Light” that was The Messiah and he was blinded(naturally, not Spiritually) for a time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now when The Messiah was in the “likeness of sinful flesh”, born as “the Son of man”, He could only reflect “The Light”, liken unto the moon which but reflects the light of the natural sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;“Let There Be Light”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Messiah, “The Light of the world”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And consider the natural light provided by the sun, which was Created on the fourth day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does not the natural light of the sun reveal outwardly, all the earthly, natural things? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider what happens when that which you thought was clean is exposed to the light of the sun? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is not the least outward particle of uncleanness readily seen in the light of the sun? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it is with “The Light” that is The Messiah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For His Life, “The Life”, reveals and exposes all the uncleanness in “our” life; the self-life that is of “our” own creation, which is the “I(ego,id,self)” in all of us ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The self-life which is the&amp;nbsp;product of “our” own vain “imag”inations! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it needs be that “The Light” penetrates deeply, even into the innermost recesses of the heart, “rightly dividing the soul and spirit”, exposing all the darkness that the "I" in all of us does not want to "see"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet for such a cleansing to begin one must “experience The Messiah(The Light) and The Power that raised Him from among the dead”!(Php 3:10) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, there are many who know of a “messiah”, yet who has experienced “The Light”?&amp;nbsp;For “The Light” was “The Beginning of Creation” both the old, which was natural, earthly and&amp;nbsp;temporal; and&amp;nbsp;The New, which is of The Spirit, Heavenly and Eternal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who “love this world and it’s things” yet desire that which “decayed, waxed old and vanished away”. (Heb 8:13) They are of those “whose ‘GOD’ is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, because they mind earthly things”. (Phlp 3:19)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, those who “love this world and it’s things” yet "love darkness more than The Light" and they will abide in the darkness they loved forever ;-( (1John 2:15, John 3:19-20)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadder yet,&amp;nbsp;systems of religion such as "catholicism", "christianity", "judaism", "islam", etc., all of which are of this wicked, evil world(babylon),&amp;nbsp;have killed and enslaved multiplied millions in the name of their god(s)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that the fruit of death is bore of religon's way,&lt;br /&gt;Because life is but a pawn in the wicked game they play!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And because of pagan catholicism and her harlot christian daughters "The Way of Truth is evil spoken of"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Come Out of her, MY people!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their theo'ry'logical doctrines are the&amp;nbsp;product of mankind's "imag"ination, and sadly mankind's "imag"ination is destroying Creation(air,&amp;nbsp;water, land, vegetation, creatures)&amp;nbsp;and perverting that which&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;Spirit(Light, Truth, Love, Peace,&amp;nbsp;Grace, Faith,,,, ALL that is Truly GOOD) ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, sadly ;-( Creation is being destroyed by self-willed men who could care less about that which is of The Truth(What Is, Was, and Always Will Be), and care even less about those things which they can not comprehend apart from their "natural" senses and mental processes ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And The Truth testifies, The Creator "will destroy those who destroy the earth(HIS Creation)"(Rev 11:18).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, in this wicked world, those who seek profit will naturally overcome those who do not ;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Yet, There Is Hope!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;For The Life is of The Spirit!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And Miracles do happen!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And Faith rejoices against profit(greed) and theo’ry’logy(logic)!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope is there would be those who experience The Miracle that is receiving “a love of The Truth" for they will "see" "The Light". (2Thes 2:10, John 8:12, 9:5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they will clearly “see” things as they are and not as "imag"inative, world-loving humans would have others believe them to be, for they will “see” The Light that is The Messiah……. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they will receive peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world, for they will clearly “see” that “The WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one” indeed and Truth.......

Struggles with family, job, and severe depression. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And years later it was revealed that those i cared for during that time were living in the darkness&amp;nbsp;that is but lies and deception, for fear of their true nature being exposed.&amp;nbsp;So it is that they chose to abide with the multitudes who hide out in that "yellow submarine"&amp;nbsp;;-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Thankfully, since then "The Light" has&amp;nbsp;revealed things as they truly were! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It was during that time of severe depression that i had began to "see" how wicked the world was, yet i also saw how wicked i believed i was. And because there was no other place for me to look for hope, i became a victim of hopelessness. Yet thankfully, one day i was given the unction and the courage to sign myself into a mental hospital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For one evening, soon after i had entered into that hospital i was taking a shower, and although hopelessness yet beset me, "Our Father", HE began to have HIS Way with me, in spite of me.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While taking that shower and inwardly seeking to find something that would help me, i was given a vision of my natural 'father' and a revelation of his integrity, for at that time i never had known him to lie. And the vision caused me to cry out, "GOD! if you are GOD, YOU must be A GOD of TRUTH!! for a lie never existed and never will!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;At that moment&amp;nbsp;i experienced The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The Truth"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And i made a commitment within my being(spirit) to abide in Truth, and although at that time temporal truth and that experience were all i knew, it was nevertheless the beginning of my&amp;nbsp;relationship with the one i then knew only&amp;nbsp;as GOD.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;i could share pages upon pages, yet i can also simply testify as i do to the muslims:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;i used to know the GOD you know, however GOD led me to HIS Son The Messiah, and then The Messiah returned me unto the one i once knew as GOD, only then i knew and experienced HIM as FATHER, "OUR FATHER"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And is there a name or title greater than FATHER, "OUR FATHER"? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Father Help!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and HE does.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dan, as for your preferring the kjv, i also prefer that translation, however i am mindful that "the church OF england" was aptly named. For she is most definitely of a nation that is in and of this wicked, evil world.

They ate and drank, and when they were satisfied they  departed; and Darius the king went to his bedroom, and went to sleep, and then  awoke. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Then the three young men of the bodyguard, who  kept guard over the person of the king, said to one another, "Let each of us  state what one thing is strongest; and to him whose statement seems wisest,  Darius the king will give rich gifts and great honors of victory. He shall be  clothed in purple, and drink from gold cups, and sleep on a gold bed, and have a  chariot with gold bridles, and a turban of fine linen, and a necklace about his  neck; and because of his wisdom he shall sit next to Darius and shall be called  kinsman of Darius." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Then each wrote his own statement, and they sealed  them and put them under the pillow of Darius the king, and said, "When the king  wakes, they will give him the writing; and to the one whose statement the king  and the three nobles of Persia judge to be wisest the victory shall be given  according to what is written." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The first wrote, "Wine is strongest."  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The second wrote, "The king is strongest." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The third wrote,  "Women are strongest, but Truth is Victor over all things."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;When the king awoke, they took the writing and  gave it to him, and he read it. Then he sent and summoned all the nobles of  Persia and Media and the satraps and generals and governors and prefects, and he  took his seat in the council chamber, and the writing was read in their  presence. And he said, "Call the young men, and they shall explain their  statements." So they were summoned, and came in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;And they said to them, "Explain to us what you  have written." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Then the first, who had spoken of the strength  of wine, began and said: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;"Gentlemen, how is wine the strongest? It leads  astray the minds of all who drink it. It makes equal the mind of the king and  the orphan, of the slave and the free, of the poor and the rich. It turns every  thought to feasting and mirth, and forgets all sorrow and debt. It makes all  hearts feel rich, forgets kings and satraps, and makes every one talk in  millions. When men drink they forget to be friendly with friends and brothers,  and before long they draw their swords. And when they recover from the wine,  they do not remember what they have done. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Gentlemen, is not wine the  strongest, since it forces men to do these things?" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;When he had said  this, he stopped speaking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Then the second, who had spoken of the  strength of the king, began to speak:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;"Gentlemen, are not men  strongest, who rule over land and sea and all that is in them? But the king is  stronger; he is their lord and master, and whatever he says to them they obey.  If he tells them to make war on one another, they do it; and if he sends them  out against the enemy, they go, and conquer mountains, walls, and towers. They  kill and are killed, and do not disobey the king's command; if they win the  victory, they bring everything to the king -- whatever spoil they take and  everything else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&
