The Straight and Narrow Path.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
They do not, and are not. No Christian ever wrote anything in the Bible. In fact the word Christian is only used 3 times in the book, all in a contemptuous fashion.
Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
The word Church is a corruption of the word Ecclesia in Greek and Latin which means to be called out, by God. Called out of this world of Satan and his evil.
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
The disciples didn't call themselves Christians, also they weren't using the word Church when referring to the gathering together of those who were called out. As Jesus said, the religious have made his Father's house a den of thieves, and Christians have stolen and corrupted scripture for their own end, a prime example of is inserting the word Church in place of Ecclesia. For the purpose of course to establish their doctrine, and institution, turning people's minds to fables, conquering them.
Romans 16:17-18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Saul of Tarsus, who could speak both Greek and Hebrew, hence his name is Paul as well. He persecuted the Church of God, again meaning to say those called out, not Christians. In the end, he was also called out by God, and thus belonged to the true church so to speak, which is of the spirit, not the flesh. Now reading this correctly; since the spirit can only communicate with those called out by God in the first place.
Revelation 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches (Those called out by God); He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Hence the comment. 'He that have an ear, let him hear what the spirit says to the churches.' (Meaning, what the spirit says to those who are called out, since they are the only ones who can see and hear the spirit) And who has an ear to hear, the spiritual ear? Those that receive revelation. Why is it in hearing that people cannot hear, and why is it in seeing that they cannot see?
Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
The religious use the Bible to control the masses, whether by knowledge or ignorance, the results are always the same, regardless of the denomination or cult using it. The Bible itself isn't the problem, it is those blind, leading the blind, those who have eyes to see but cannot see who have made it a problem, by promoting lies and doctrine which takes a person's power away, stopping them from turning to the Father within themselves to receive revelations.
Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
They instead have them listening to the leaders of a church and their members for knowledge instead of God himself. Blinded by religious doctrines, ruled by the natural man, the old man, who cannot discern spiritual things, for they are earthly, and serve the world, and thus walk the course of this world, conformed to it.
1 Corinthians 2:13-15 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Hence the whole Old Testament which is about the Lord God and New Testament which is about Jesus, being those two witnesses of revelation. Those witnesses are killed (spiritually) in that place called Sodom (The heart) and Egypt (The world), where Jesus message was killed also, since the hearts thoughts and imagination give rise to delusions, either polluted by doctrine, or in general the irrigation of this world. The beast from the pit has killed the truth, and that beast is Christianity and the Church.
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
The truth choked off in a sea of Earthly lies. That pit where the beast (Christianity) rises out of and kills the witnesses of Jesus, the true teachings of the spirit in the book, via the spreading of false doctrine in his name, which in many come, saying I am a follower of CHRIST, aka Christian. They then go and deceive MANY.
Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Then people celebrate the witnesses deaths (Which is being born into this world of the dead) at the hand of the beast.
Revelation 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented (Told them the truth) them that dwelt on the earth.
Christians all ignore the true message, and instead celebrate Jesus birth in the Flesh (Into this world of the dead) by making Merry Christmas to him, and giving gifts to one another.
Mark 7:6-9 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Yes, this people seek the salvation of their flesh, and not their spirit, whom they cannot receive, because they worship the flesh, instead of the Father within. They seek the word of flesh (Each other), and not the word of God. The Church is for them who are lost in the flesh, not those wayfaring men who seek the truth in the spirit.
Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And what is God, the Father?
John 4:24 God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The temple is the spirit, the Father's house, since we are made in his image, which Christians, Muslims and Jews alike have made a den of thieves, by focusing on the flesh of the corruptible man, praying to walls, stones, building and places.
2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, (the body) we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, (the spirit) eternal in the heavens.
Capturing the unwitting spirit in the flesh, so that they serve and worship only the flesh. Granted they pray to their unknown God, blissfully unaware that their God is Satan himself. Just look at the fruit of their worship, throughout all of history, their God is their own heart, like all hearts of men, they want to rule over other men, using their hearts knowledge of evil to corrupt the truth, and all that is good.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for he Father seeketh such to worship him.
Flesh and blood doesn't reveal anything to man, but God in Heaven reveals knowledge to the seeking spirit.. Only he gives his word to man. No one else. But you have to seek it first and foremost, within in the silence of your mind. Be still and know God, and as you draw nigh to God, he'll draw nigh to you, for it is he that searches the reins and the hearts of people. A good percentage of the religious can't even get their heads around that Jesus isn't God, regardless of the fact that he clearly stated he was sent by the Father over 50 times in the New Testament.
John 6:44 No man can come to me (Can understand Jesus teachings), except the Father which hath sent me draw him: (Gives his grace, his revelation, his words of truth) and I will raise him up at the last day.
It is the spirit that is the rock of the Church, which is Revelation, which to put it better, the Father calls out the seeker, with revelation, which is the rock that is added to daily, in knowledge.
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church (to those called and chosen out of this world with revelation) daily such as should be saved.
It is God's spirit that reveals the truth. So in short, the Word of God is the rock upon which all understanding is build, and with his words of truth, those revelations, he helps build people up in the spirit by adding knowledge daily to those he has called and chosen, so that at the end they'll be saved, and raised up out of the death flesh into the spirit.
Romans 16:24-26 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
So revelation, the word of God is the rock of those called out (Ekklesia). It is the Father's revelations that reveal the mystery, which are hidden in the scriptures of the prophets, who are the foundation, the beginning of the understanding of those who are called. And since Jesus first taught that, he is the Chief Cornerstone of all those who are called and chosen. Since no one can enter but through him, and what did he say about entering?
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Added by Revelation, then you put your first foot onto the straight and narrow path. But as warned, broad is the path to unrighteousness (Destruction).
Matthew 6:22 The light(knowledge) of the body (spirit) is the eye:(mind) if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
So the mind must be single, focused on the spirit and not the flesh, and remember, Jesus spoke in parables about the spirit.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
All our pilgrimages, travelling to so-called holy places, churches, temples, etc, are an utter waste of time, and spiritually worthless, and the further you get away from yourself, the further away from God you are.
Exodus 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Be still in spirit, and know God within yourself, with your spirit, because it is always where you stand. In your mind.
Isaiah 40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
God's spirit created all things, and knew all things since before the foundation of the Earth. However the Lord God, like to mimic the Father, and that is his deception, convincing people that he is God. However, even through this, his deeds area memorial to the Father, since God's plan is in all things, and thus through the Lord, he set way from the light to shine through the darkness, and the Lord himself was that sign, as spoken by the prophets.
Isaiah 7:14-16 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, (Not a literal virgin) and shall call his name Immanuel. (The same way Jesus name wasn't literally named Immanuel) Butter and honey shall he eat, (Nor eat literally butter and honey) that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
And so for that to happen, the first the Lord God (Lucifer, the Morning Star), had to come into the flesh as Jesus who was the last, to be redeemed, to be taught of his father to choose only good, and his redemption was in part to become a servant to all, which is what the last is. As for the two Kings, well the Lord God, and Jesus are those kings, and that land which is forsaken of those kings is the living soul in man, that defiles the spirit, and takes the kingdom of Heaven with violence in the land.
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
As he said himself, he was here for his own regeneration also, because by coming into the flesh to become the son of man, like all men he had to bare the travails from his own soul also, and when the soul is near its end in a man, it will feel great sorrow.
Matthew 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
He had to come into the flesh so that he could teach all men about what is in them which leads to man's iniquity, making himself straight, and giving others the knowledge to be made straight also. He was he after all, when he was another manner of spirit, that created that crooked serpent, when he himself was crooked.
Isaiah 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Not called the straight and narrow path for no reason you know. All else will lead to the corruption of the spirit. So go within and seek God, and his word, so that his word can also regenerate your spirit also, being refreshed in mind, and renewed in spirit. Turning away from the lusts and wiles of the evil heart, and being converting into a righteous spirit once again. The Father will blot out all sin, if you seek to do good over evil, meaning to seek after his righteousness, which will in turn be transferred to your spirit, making you righteous. And righteousness is the weapon that helps fight gets the iniquity of our own hearts.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
So that you can eat the butter and honey from the Father, and be made straight in your ways, always choosing good over the evil.
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Because they get carried off by every wind of doctrine, away from the very ground they stand upon. So our task is, to hid the treasure in the field that is the world, so that others may find, and sell all they have to buy that field.
Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
That is the fellowship of the mystery. The hidden treasure in the field. The mystery is about the spirit, the kingdom that comes not with observation. Religion is of the flesh, where those with authority seek to rule over the minds of men, and no building made with hands is a mystery to people.
Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought
for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of
itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Religion and just about all things of the Earth, have people, either worrying about the past, or thinking about the future. They pray for earthly riches and wonder why they think God doesn't answer or exist. Their faith is in the Earth, so in kind reap the rewards of the Earth. Their praise is in men, not God, men who feel the need to dress up for their faith, because their is nothing like an earthly uniform to give people a sense of authority. Authority they may have of the flesh, but they have no authority over their own soul, and when that day comes, they will despise their life, because they will not know their own soul, all the while justifying themselves with its knowledge. That is his snare, and that is his deception.
Job 9:20-21 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
A primary lesson about being in the flesh is to know it, because if you don't know it, you are ruled by it, and it will be your judge, jury and executioner, deciding your fate.
Psalm 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
None are good, not a one. None are righteous, because few seek it out and find, and fewer still are called and chosen. If you want to be good, and be righteous, then the means to do so where laid out clearly by Jesus. And to seek it out, you need to seek the Kingdom that comes not with observation.
Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
And the path to that Kingdom begins within.
Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet (spirit), and when thou hast shut thy door (Fasting from the world, quieting the works of the soul's thoughts within you), pray to thy Father which is in secret (At the true spiritual altar); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Then hid your reward in the field, which is doing his will, and his will is that all flesh shall see Salvation. That is the GOOD NEWS, so receive the word of the Father within thy holy temple, and be still and know God.
Habakkuk 2:20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
So go within and seek him as often as you possibly can. The revelations received are in line with the work you do, so, like a little child, humble and hiding in their spiritual den seek him out.. Our own earthly thoughts, especially those of doctrine and religion, and intellectualism (puffed up with our own soul's knowledge of good and evil, which we are condemned by) will turn it into a den of thieves.
Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
So give a command to your soul (subconscious) to be silent before God. Ask what you will in Jesus name (Meaning in line with what he taught mankind about God), and give thanks and then go about your day, expecting nothing. That is drawing nigh to God.
Hebrews 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Like a thief in the night, revelations from God can come at anytime, it could take days, or it could take months, everyone is different, patience is also key, along with seeking. Remember how God is patient with us. So expect nothing, for that is thinking about the morrow, which we are instructed not to do. Like said, it is a straight and narrow path, that few find. Because it is a MYSTERY of God that needs to be revealed by God, and with the revelations God gives you, you can search the Old Testament, and bring forth the Old knowledge because of the New knowledge. And come to know the exact meaning of the following.
Leviticus 26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
Or as Jesus said:
Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
The Law alone makes nothing perfect, but as Jesus said, it is needed, since the mystery is contained within the words of the prophets, hence why they were prophets in the first place. To lay the FOUNDATION, of those things which are a shadow of good things to come, but not the very image of. For example, Jesus came into the flesh to teach about the spirit. And he did so by healing the flesh of the afflicted, as a parable for healing the spirit. Now, his work is done, and he has taught us about the spirit, and so we must use our knowledge given from God, which we have received by turning within to him, to help heal the spirits of others, and let the Father do the rest, for it is he that makes the seed grow with his heavenly rain, not man.
Matthew 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
