DO I HAVE ENOUGH OF GODS LOVE AND AM I GROWING IN GODS LOVE

 

Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart O GOD and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

Create in me a pure human spirit O GOD and renew, repair and restore a steadfast, loyal, unchanging human spirit within me that does your will.

After committing adultery and murder King David humbly and sincerely repented and this Psalm 51 is a prayer of repentance seeking GODS forgiveness.  

Sin, as understood by GODS elect saints, is whatever is not of GODS love because HIS love is the only thing that will fulfill the intent of the Ten Commandments.  The saints know that spiritual perfection does not come until our change comes. Until that day we will still sin and if we say, I have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  The truth here being that we all still sin.  

John tells us in 1 John 2:2

“and HE (Jesus) is the propitiation for our sins….”

Propitiation means to turn away the wrath of GOD by genuine repentance thus regaining favor and goodwill.  This is an ongoing cleansing, not just a one shot deal. Which of us, the saints, can at all times keep a pure mind or clean heart (human spirit)?  King Solomon asked the same question.

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

Again In Ecclesiastes 7:20 “Surely there is no righteous man on Earth that does good and never sins.”

King David knew that if GOD was not willing to forgive our sins and kept a record of them to use against us then no one would ever have salvation.

Psalm 130:3 “If you O LORD kept track of our iniquities then who O LORD could stand ?”

GOD judges the saints after the thoughts and intents of our human spirit and HE knows that we all have an overwhelming desire to please HIM and receive salvation.  This is what GODS sees and takes notice of when HE judges us, where our hearts truly are.  In eternity GOD knew we would sin and as long as we are in the flesh we will sin.  Our flesh is in a spiritual warfare with our human spirit that is joined with the spirit of GOD. In Romans 7:17 

“Now then, it is no longer I who do it (sin) but sin that dwells in me.”

When the saints are in Christ it is as Paul said in Romans 6:11

“In the same way count yourselves dead to sin but alive to GOD in Christ Jesus.”

In this process we experienced GODS love for us and we return that love by obedience to the gospel message.  Then as GOD has shown love to us we show love to HIM and our fellow human beings, our neighbors.  If we desire mercy and forgiveness from GOD then we must have mercy and forgiveness towards our neighbors.  

To doubt these spiritual truths is to call GOD a liar.  If GOD said, humble yourself and sincerely ask ME and I will forgive you.  Do you think GOD would lie about this ?  Sometimes we allow ourselves with help from Satan to think thoughts that contradict this truth of GOD.  We begin to have doubts that we are not good enough or that we don’t love enough.  Who truly knows these things ?  The opportunity to show GODS love to our neighbors comes from GOD, who has prepared them in eternity for us. 

“For we are GODS handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works which GOD has prepared IN ADVANCE for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

These works are unplanned by us but planned by GOD for us. They will come at us out of the blue , by surprise.  In this way it is completely confirmed that the works are not ours.  We have learned these spiritual truths and are fully aware that this showing of GODS love to our neighbors is not for bragging rights, to show off for a crowd but for no other reason than to just show GODS love. 

You don’t need to ask how can I show more of GODS love if GOD is the one who plans the works in ADVANCE to do it ?  We elect don’t even know how to judge our own growth in the spirit

“But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact I DO NOT EVEN JUDGE MYSELF.  My conscience is clear but that does not make me innocent. It is the LORD who will judge me.”  1 Corinthians 4:3-4

“All a man’s ways seem right to him but the Lord weighs the heart.”  Proverbs 21:2 

“Do you have faith ?  Have it to yourself before GOD.  Happy is he who does it condemn himself in what he approves.”  Romans 14:22

Spiritual wisdom is required to know the limits of all things.  We are to love a chicken thief but we do not keep company with immoral people.

  “Do not be deceived : bad company corrupts good morals.” 1 Corinthians 15:33

In love we give when we are asked but there are spiritual limits to this as well.  

“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more IN KNOWLEDGE AND DEPTH OF DISCERNMENT.”  Philippians 1:9

Galatians 6:10 “Therefore as we have opportunity (as we are able) let us do good to all people, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”

You cannot continually second guess yourself or others.  You cannot fear about things the you don’t control of and are unable to judge.  If you feel you lack GODLY love then ask the FATHER for more of it.  If we lack wisdom we can ask for more, so why not love ? 

“If any man lacks wisdom let him ask of GOD who gives to all generously and without reproach and it will be given.”  James 2:5 

We must ask in faith in faith not doubting.

“But let him ask in faith with no doubting, for he who doubts is like the wave driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD.”  James 1:6-7

Remember, GOD has prepared works of love for us IN ADVANCE, and is the only one who can judge us, that GOD always forgives a truly repentant person and that if we lack wisdom or love ask GOD in faith without doubting and GOD will give it. 

CARNAL UNCONVERTED PEOPLE MUST KEEP THE LAW, THE OLD COVENANT TEN COMMANDMENTS

 

It is the responsibility of every carnal person to keep the Ten Commandments.  Carnal people are not in Christ, not converted and do not have the Holy Spirit.  Carnal people must keep the old covenant, which is the Ten Commandments.  The Ten Commandments are holy, just and good because GOD gave them in response to all the evil that people think about.  The last or tenth commandment says, “Thou shalt not lust or covet”, and all people break this commandment and along with it the other nine because if you break one commandment you have broken them all.  James 2:10

The law is called a schoolmaster in the scriptures and this is because it has a lesson to teach.  If GOD did not give the law the lesson could not be learned.  The Ten Commandments also served as a powerful deterrent to sin because in most cases if you are caught breaking them you die without mercy.  No one has ever been able to keep the Ten Commandments because ALL have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of GOD.  All this and more are some of the lessons the law can teach a person if the have the Holy Spirit.  The law was designed to lead a person to Christ when they see their utterly hopeless condition under the law.  

Since the Ten Commandments cannot provide salvation, forgive sin, produce GOD righteousness, show mercy or provide immortality then GOD had to have another covenant, a new covenant, that would provide all these things.  

In order for the carnal world to have any hope of being led to Christ they must keep the Ten Commandments and if a person responds in the proper manner then GOD may want to choose them and put them in HIS church.  GOD opens the mind of the people HE elects to become a saint and the person begins to experience true repentance by realizing the letter kills but the spirit gives life.  The guilt experienced under the law is to produce a repentant attitude in a person.  The person comes to a basic understanding of the gospel and now, with knowledge, loves GODS law, HIS Ten Commandments, because they have learned the lesson of the schoolmaster.  Now they must PASSOVER from the law, the Ten Commandments into grace and the two commandments of Jesus Christ, love GOD and love your neighbor.  This person now is in the new covenant.  The love of GOD is shed abroad in the human heart by the spirit of GOD empowering the person to fulfill the laws intent.  To love with GODS love will cause no harm to anyone and this love was not not possible under the Ten Commandments.

To add clarification to my articles on this blog I now say that if you are a carnal person you should be keeping the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, because it is your hope of being drawn to Jesus Christ.  As Jesus said, 

“No man can come to me unless the FATHER who sent me DRAWS THEM and I will raise them up at the last day.”  John 6:44

This is how ideally the Ten Commandments are to operate but most carnal people use them to become self righteous.  In this they deceive themselves thinking that their keeping the Ten Commandments somehow justifies them when they can only condemn them.  No one is justified by keeping the Ten Commandments.  Galatians 5:4

So then, all you carnal people out there, keep the Ten Commandments, all of them,  perfectly and be honest with yourself in the doing.  Keep an accurate truthful account of your progress, because GOD will.  Then read all of Romans chapter 7:1-25 and if you see yourself in the verses then there may be hope for you.

I LOVE GODS LAW BECAUSE IT LED ME TO CHRIST

 

Scripture says, “The wages of sin is death…” Romans 6:23

Under the Ten Commandments and the law of Moses people were put to death, who were by the testimony two or more witnesses, found guilty of violating the Ten Commandments. 

 The Ten Commandments were the statutes and the law of Moses contained the judgments. The Ten Commandments said nothing about the punishment for their violation, it was the law of Moses that gave the prescribed punishment for the violation of the Ten Commandments.  Under the law, the old covenant, which is the Ten Commandments, the guilty person died without mercy upon the testimony of two or more witnesses.  Hebrews 10:28

There was no repentance or forgiveness of sin under the Ten Commandments, you died without mercy.  The carnal world today operates under these Ten Commandments but rarely enforces them and this is the reason why there is so much evil in the world. 

  Ecclesiastes 8:11 “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”

This verse is saying that because sin is not punished by death there is no fear of death therefore there is no deterrent to sin. If you know your not going to die for breaking the law, the Ten Commandments, there is no motivation to stop breaking the law.   

Jesus taught that it is the thoughts and intents of our human spirit that violates the law and that the actions taken to carry out the thought are only the result of these thoughts.  In other words the thought is the cause of sin the resulting action is the effect.  If humans could not think then they could not sin. Other animals cannot think therefore they cannot sin. 

Sin is the breaking of the Ten Commandments that demands the death penalty and there is no way out, you were killed without mercy.  Everyone born into this world is born under the law, the Ten Commandments.  The only exception was Jesus Christ who was salvation in the flesh, the messiah of GOD, who was created after GODS nature of righteousness and love.  This is what qualified Jesus to be the messiah.  Until a person is “in Christ” and partakes of the same divine nature of Christ they have none of the blessings that Christ provides.  2 Peter 1:4 

People yet in the world, carnal people, are yet under the Ten Commandments but those in Christ are not.  This means that people in Christ are no longer in the old covenant, the Ten Commandments.  These people are called and chosen saints with the Holy Spirit and live by the law of love to GOD and neighbor.  The saints are no longer under the Ten Commandments but are under the two greatest of all commandments, this is called being under grace and not law.  All the unconverted world is still under the Ten Commandments and because they have all sinned they are all condemned to death.  Later, in the future, after Jesus returns these condemned will also learn the lesson of the schoolmaster of the Ten Commandments and receive mercy in the second resurrection where they will be given the Holy Spirit and first opportunity for salvation.  

The carnal world has butchered the Ten Commandments due to ignorance and Satanic deception.  The law goes mostly ignored and is used by carnal people to become self righteous.  The Ten Commandments were given to humanity to show how they are hopelessly trapped in sin and when under the Ten Commandments condemned to death. When the Ten Commandments are used lawfully they show us our problem but only the new covenant provides the answer to the problem.  There is no grace in the Ten Commandments just death. In order to escape the condemnation of the Ten Commandments a person must be called and chosen by GOD and placed into HIS church.  None of the world’s churches are GODS church because these churches are all false and creations of Satan to deceive carnal people.  

The ignorance of the law and of grace in the carnal world remains yet today and many false ministers of Satan in the false churches teach people to keep the Ten Commandments which is the old covenant not the new covenant.  Some false ministers teach that the Ten Commandments have been done away with which is also a lie.  

The carnal people cannot understand how to avoid sin if they don’t keep the Ten Commandments and fail to understand that the Ten Commandments are what condemns them to death in the first place.  The only way to fulfill the Ten Commandments is by something that the Ten Commandments did not have and cannot give, the love of GOD. GODS love is the fulfillment of the Ten Commandments.  The Ten Commandments made nothing perfect but the bringing in of GODS love (the better hope) is the only way to perfection that is achieved at the second advent of Christ.   

Personally I love the Ten Commandments because they are the schoolmaster that led me to Christ but once in Christ I no longer need the schoolmaster.  What we cannot do by commandments we do by a change in nature where the Holy Spirit of GOD works in the saints both to Will and to do GODS good pleasure.  It is GOD who works in the chosen saints with HIS love to begin to change our nature to be like HIS nature, a nature demonstrated to us in Jesus Christ.  

WHAT WILL GODS ELECT SAINTS DO DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION

 We know that GODS seal on the foreheads of the elect protects them from the hour of trial that comes upon the whole Earth. The great tribulation. Revelation 3:10  

Just before the tribulation becomes violent the living elect , those who are alive and remain, are sealed in their foreheads. Revelation 7:1-4  In Isaiah God said, 

“No weapon formed will prevail against you, you will refute every tongue that accuses you.  This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord” Isaiah 54:17

   Romans 8:31  Psalm 91:4-7  2 Timothy 4:18 

Take note that the innumerable multitude comes from every nation, tribe, people and tongue, Revelation 7:9  They are the people who came out of the great tribulation,  Revelation 7:14  These are the people tried in the fire, the church of GOD at Laodicea. Revelation 3:18  

The Philadelphia and Laodicean churches both exist together but under separate conditions in the end time and the elect Philadelphians are also scattered to the four winds, to the same places as the innumerable multitude are, both churches are scattered among all nations.  The elect will inform and warn the innumerable multitude of their poor spiritual condition and their need to repent and willingly accept martyrdom (Daniel 11:32-35) , they love not their lives unto death, to be in the first resurrection with the elect. (Revelation 12:11) & (Revelation 14:13)  As many as Jesus loves he rebukes and chastens.  Revelation 3:19

Daniel 11:32-35  The elect will instruct many but those they instruct will fall by sword, flame and spoil many days.  Remember the elect are sealed and protected from this hour of trial but the innumerable multitude is not.  The innumerable multitude are mentioned in, Zechariah 13:9  Revelation 12:11 and Revelation 14:13

Those who repent and willingly and give their lives will be blessed and they will rest in death and their deeds remembered .  In this day the spirit of the FATHER will speak through HIS elect saints to this innumerable multitude, Matthew 10:19-22  The elect must always remember that it will be GOD working in you to perform all the things that happen during the tribulation and because you are sealed will not be martyred in doing so.  

The elect are a small remnant of the 144,000 who are alive before the tribulation and return of Jesus. 

There is no rapture of the elect saints to heaven before the tribulation begins, that is a lie many people believe.  This lie attempts to use the method of how we meet Christ in the air at his return to slip in the lie of going to heaven before the tribulation.  The truth is that the saints after meeting Jesus in the air then descend to earth to conquer it for the kingdom of GOD (Psalm 149) and then rule and reign with Jesus on the earth for 1,000 years.  There is no mention of going to heaven before the tribulation.  

Then there is the confusion as to the timing of the resurrection and return of Christ, events that occur at the same time.  There are the pre tribulation, mid tribulation and post tribulation ideas but the truth is recorded in Matthew 24:29-30 

 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.  Then will appear the sign of the son of man in heaven. And then all of the peoples of earth will mourn when they see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”

So, there is the proof that both the resurrection and return of Jesus Christ are one event that happens IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION, not before or in the middle. 

ONE WAY FALSE DOCTRINES ORIGINATE

 

The Greek language was used to write the New Testament. In the time of Jesus and the Apostles the type of Greek language is called "Koine".  The original Koine Greek language was written in all upper case letters and had no spaces or punctuation. The modern translations of the bible today must place punctuation where they think it belongs. The problem with this is that these translators were either not converted people with GODS holy spirit or false Christians and this led to many incorrect ideas that severely affected doctrines.  I will give several examples of these punctuation errors.

Matthew 24:5 "For many will come in my name saying, that I am Christ, and will deceive many."

 Notice where the translators placed the comas in the above scripture.  I have in bold blue the words "will come in my name" to demonstrate the error.  If you came in another persons name do you claim to be that person ?  No you do not.  If you are on trial for a crime and you hire a lawyer to represent you, to come before the court "in your name" would your lawyer claim he is you ?  This verse is incorrectly understood to say that many would come claiming to be Jesus but that cannot be the case.  The truth of this verse is that many people would come "in the name of Jesus", telling people they come in his name, they will say that Jesus was the messiah but in the process deceive many people.  This was a prophecy of Jesus about the modern day preachers, who come in the name of Christ, but deceive many with a false gospel.  

Hebrews 5:6-7 "As HE says in another place: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek; who in the days of his flesh, when he offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to HIM who was able to save him from death, and was heard because of his GODLY fear," 

 The dark red words show that the word "who" is not referring to Jesus but Melchizedek, it is a well know rule of grammar that "who" in this sentence refers back to the last person mentioned in the sentence.  The dark blue words especially "vehement cries and tears" are nowhere used to describe how Jesus behaved in Gethsemane where he prayed before his crucifixion. There is no mention of Jesus vehemently crying with tears in any of the scriptures. This was actually Melchizedek doing the vehement cries with tears.  

 The words in dark green say that whoever it was that prayed with vehement cries and tears "was heard" indicating that he was saved from death which we know that GOD did not save Jesus from death but HE did save Melchizedek by sending Abraham to defeat  Chedorlaomer and three other kings.  Melchizedek was king of Salem and realized that Salem was only about 15 miles from Sodom and Gomorrah which were two of the five cities that stopped paying tribute to Chedorlaomer.  Melchizedek  was terrified that his city of Salem would also suffer destruction.  This has nothing to do with Jesus until verse 8.  Some bible translations actually take the liberty of  changing verse 7 to say "During the days of Jesus' earthly life.." when none of the literal translations do this.  

Luke 23:43 "Jesus answered him, truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." 

Even Jesus did not ascend to paradise until 40 days after his resurrection. 

Acts 1:9 "After saying this he was taken up as they watched and a cloud received him out of their sight." 

This fact alone shows the incorrect placement of the commas in Luke 23:43.  In order to make the other events in scripture agree with Luke 23:43 so as not to have scripture broken.  

John 10:35 "If HE called them gods to whom the word of GOD came - and scripture cannot be broken-" 

The false translation of Luke 23:43 breaks the truth of the scripture therefore it is an incorrect translation  and should be: 

Luke 23:43 "And Jesus said to him, truly I say to you today, you shall be with me in paradise."

The above true translation will then agree with other verses of scripture like;

John 20:17 "Jesus said to her, do not cling to me for I have not yet ascended to my Father." 

Jesus said this after his resurrection from being 3 days and 3 nights dead in the tomb.  So, where was the thief  if not even Jesus went to Paradise until his ascension 40 days later. The uninspired commas of the translators change the truth of this verse.

A person that has the holy spirit is enabled by the spirit to discern these translation errors and there are many more than these three examples I have given. There are also errors in the translation of words or the order of words in a sentence.  Remember that even if some translators were false Christians the false beliefs they had would greatly influence their translations. If any modern translation violates the flow of GODS truth then it is in error. These bad translations are the cause of all the false doctrines in all the false churches.

 

IS A RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT POSSIBLE ??

 

Every four years and every two years the political system in the U.S. seems to go through drastic changes that happens when one political party wins over the other.  Haven’t you ever noticed that when the new president is elected that is from another party that immediately they begin to undo almost everything the previous president did.  Then every two years the house and senate undergoes the same process.  When voters elect one party into the white house and then the other party in control of congress gridlock is the result, nothing gets done. Just when the citizens get accustomed to one way of life then another president or congress comes along and changes things.  Both parties blame the other for all the problems and chaos reigns.  

The U.S. voter has changed dramatically in the last 20 years because the younger crowd now seems to embrace communism / socialism and politicians from both sides are seeing this increased popularity of communism/ socialism as the wave of the future and in order to get re-elected will betray their oath of office to support these extreme left candidates running for political offices.  

Politics is a filthy thing and if the founders of this nation could see what politicians have done to the nation they would vomit.  They way things are in the operation of the government are not what the founders intended.  Voting is now an act of futility because they vote over and over again expecting things to get better results but things seem to get worse.  Voting is irrelevant if the people your voting for care more about gaining power and personal wealth than they do about the good of the nation.  

I am one who is on the outside looking in and this gives me an advantage over those caught up in the mess called politics.  I don’t support one candidate over another, one party over another because from my perspective it’s all insanity.  It’s not just the U.S. that is this way, all human governments are.  

I long for a government that comes from above, a righteous government led by a righteous being who truly rules in love for all people.  All the nonsense you see in human governments will be ended and things will be set right and never change.  

Is a righteous government possible ?  Yes it is.  That government is called the kingdom of GOD and it is the only hope humanity has.  

THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE CHOSEN SAINTS

 According to the scriptures there is a very small group of people that are called the elect saints.  These saints are not a part of the organized churches that are seen in this world.  The organized churches do not know these saints.  Most of the organized churches believe they are the true church that they think began on the day of Pentecost.  

The scriptures also tell us that there is a great deception that has taken root and grown much worse overtime since Pentecost.  Revelation 12:9  This is one reason why there are so many different church organizations today.  These organizations are all led by human preachers and the members of them follow their preacher.  Most members of these many churches do not even understand the teachings of their church.  The doctrines of these churches are not the same and this is why they are separated.  According to Wikipedia there are approximately 45,000 different denominations.  Which one is the true church ?  The answer is none of them but the deception they all are infected by will not allow them to accept that.  All these churches think they have the Holy Spirit but none of them do.  They have no idea they are deceived.  Their “faith” is either inherited from their parents or a matter of choosing a church they like.  Their meetings are repetitive and they love being entertained with a live band while they wave their hands and sing.

The condition described above is what the elect saints endure because they are living in a world that is deceived, a world they were called out of spiritually but are yet in it physically.  These elect saints are taught by the FATHER through Jesus Christ by divine revelation and understand the truth of GOD. John 6:45  The elect have no human leader or teacher therefore they are immune to the deception of Satans ministers.  They have no part of the things the world highly esteems.  The vast majority of carnal churches do not believe in the existence of the elect .  This is the way things have been throughout history.   

The first recorded elect saint was righteous Able who was followed by Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Later Moses, Aaron and Joshua. Then all the prophets .  All these were Christian elect saints before Christ.  These saints are part of the 144000 in Revelation 7 .  Hebrews 11 gives the names of many but not all of these ancient Christian elect saints.  

Pentecost was not the beginning of the church but a continuation to include the calling of the gentiles.  

The carnal nation of Israel were the elect under the law, the old covenant, but the church is the election according to grace, the new covenant. Romans 11:5   Grace is older than the law because Abraham was 400 years before Moses.  Romans 3:20  by the law is the knowledge of sin because it defines good and evil, the knowledge of the forbidden tree.  When Jesus came he magnified the law to include the thoughts and intents of the heart (mind).  Isaiah 42:21  Matthew 5:27  This magnification makes your thoughts the source of your sin and your body only the vehicle you use to carry out your thoughts.  Mark 7:20,21,22,23   GOD did not create Adam and Eve with an evil heart but by disobedience in eating the forbidden fruit they both gained the knowledge to sin and acquired the nature of Satan, all humanity is now the children of Satan.  The elect saints have been called out of all of this, given repentance, forgiveness and the Holy Spirit to empower them to grow spiritually.  The only reason I know these things is because GOD through Christ taught me.  John 6:45   

Most of GODS elect saints are dead and their spirits asleep unconscious awaiting the resurrection when Jesus returns.  Today there is only a remnant of the elect yet alive and there is to be a remnant alive when Jesus returns.  Now the total umber of the elect both dead or alive will be 144,000.  They will all be sealed in their foreheads just before the great tribulation becomes very violent.  The living elect during the great tribulation help the innumerable multitude repent and prepare them for martyrdom. 

This information will not be believed by the carnal world and indeed cannot be because having the Holy Spirit is required to believe.  After Jesus returns the elect will rule the world with Jesus for a thousand years.  They will take the place of demons who currently rule the world under Satan.  Then after all things have been subdued and subjected to Christ, then Christ turns the kingdom over to his GOD and FATHER and the kingdom will continue on forever without end.
