Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

Nothing in the Old Testament is what it seems. The truth has been hidden in God, and through God all is revealed, and once revealed then one can have understanding.

1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Not of your own understanding, which in all err, but of God.

2 Peter 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

So Jesus expounded upon his disciples the true meanings, revealing that mystery.

Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Meaning himself as the Lord God, since that what the Old Testament is basically about, and the prophecies about the same Lord coming into the flesh as Jesus.

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

And what they understood which most others don't is that;

Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

And since ALL people take the very image of things, a veil is upon people's minds, blinding what they see but cannot see.

2 Corinthians 3:14-16 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

And so Jesus taught them HOW to circumcise their heart, by teaching them how to seek the Father within, in spirit. It is he that slowly removes that veil so that one might understand the scriptures.

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

In many respects God is a Zionist, but not the Earthly kind who only care for their own, who only want for a select few to live in glory so to speak, where as the Father desires all to be chosen and be raised up to his Kingdom which is VERY GOOD. The Lord God's kingdom, isn't very good, but full of corruption, created by that which WAS corrupt.

Genesis 6:11-12 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Israel for example is a shadow of Heaven but not the very image of, and of course the circumcision, is of the spirit.

Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

As Jesus said;

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

So Jesus spoke in parables about the SPIRIT, and the Old Testament is a shadow of that.

1 Corinthians 2:14 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.

They're many mis-translations, and corruptions of the word in the Bible. However God is no fool not to know that everything man touches he corrupts, since he knew all things before they began, and so through those prophets his true word was sealed behind Earthly events, similitude's visions, and words. Words which we cannot understand the true meaning of because we're in a state of slumber.

Isaiah 29:10-12 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

And to expound upon the above. When you've done what Jesus said to do. i.e Turn to your Father within, and seek after his righteousness (A key mistake people don't do) The Father then decides whether your intent is sincere or not, since he tries all reigns and hearts, and knows all the thoughts and intents of. And remember again, the Old Testament is all prophecy. So the following is about Jesus and the Father.

Isaiah 55:7-9 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

If he decides to anoint you, he will teach you in ways you can't even begin to imagine, since his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts.

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

He'll teach you, via Revelation.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Then you can bring out the real spiritual treasure out from the Old Testament, because of what you've APPLIED in the New. As prophesied.

Leviticus 26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

You'll be able to bring out all manner of pleasant fruits. The Good News.

Song of Solomon 7:13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

So, learn to rule over your own house, your mind, the spirit, that third part of man, lest the thieves and robbers spoil it. I shouldn't have to tell you who the thieves and robbers are now do I?

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.

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

There's a strange belief that all people will see Jesus coming down in a cloud, because again people take things at face value, taking meaning from the very image that is taught. The simple fact is, clouds cover, and clouds rain down the knowledge of Heaven. That rock of revelation, that renews the spirit in man. Every mind will come to understand, but not in the way man thinks.

Psalm 105:39-43 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

Without that knowledge from Heaven, the grass can't grow on top of the mountain. Meaning to say, that the knowledge of God, and his righteousness cannot flourish in your mind.

Psalm 147:8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

The Father is in that secret place of the spirit, in your Holy Temple, where one should be silent before God to receive revelations, which give people understanding of the spirit.

Ecclesiastes 11:4-5 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

Which revelation, understanding of what Jesus taught, and of the Father is slowly revealed to the mind, secretly, like a thief in the night, even to those who don't believe, because in time ALL will be redeemed off the Earth.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Yes, Jesus was the king of them, not the human Jewish people, who are just people.

Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

But of those true Jews who have circumcised their hearts.

Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Those who are chosen, those who recognise the following.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Those who don't eat the unclean food of the heart after the circumcision which of the spirit and not the flesh.

Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Antisemitism, racism, sexism, basically all of the earthly attitudes which we hold is an example of that unclean food. So if the true Jews are those chosen of the spirit, who are the Gentiles? The answer is everyone else. So the vast majority of us.

Galatians 5:16-25 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

So if you understand the above, you'll understand that the crucifixion of the flesh and the circumcision of the heart are the same thing. Which we must do by walking in the spirit, after developing it by turning to the Father, who will gift you righteousness, which is something that cannot be developed here alone in the flesh. Though many will claim to be good, they're not and do lie. We all have hatred in our hearts that rules us because it is part of the nature of the heart to hate. So we must stop eating its fruit, its unclean food, and start to eat the fruit of the spirit which the father gives us. FEW turn to the Father to receive it in the first place.

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Jesus, the Lord is king of those who he taught about the light in the shadow. Those in the shadow like most people on Earth, believe themselves to be special and chosen, or at least desire to be better than someone, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Atheists alike. Emulations in biblical terms would cover that attitude.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

We've been given unique fingerprints for a reason, try to learn to think independently also, or be cursed by your own culture, religion, family, nationality, peers, and race.

Luke 21:34-35 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

ALL here is designed to snare and keep people here.

Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

You know, like physical circumcision, which is a shadow of good things to come, and that good thing is the spiritual circumcision. Of course not being the very image of, since one is of the image of the flesh and the other is of the image of the spirit. So yes, Jesus is the king of the Jews. Lord of the Earth, and of Heaven.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

You might want to consider who the alive in Christ are. Regardless, here's a prophecy about the Catholic Church, wrote nearly 2000 years before the Catholic Church.

Hosea 4:5-9 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. (Church) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. (Members of the Mother Church) As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. (Paedophilia for example, as Jesus said, don't hurt the little ones) They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. (Forgive me Father for I have sinned, please absolve them, while people call a man Father on the Earth, which Jesus said NOT to do) And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

Here's another prophesy, about worshipping the image of beast. That crucifix, that yoke of iron around people's necks. Causing Jesus to serve his enemies. Christians, they who destroy the truth of his teachings.

Deuteronomy 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

Yes, that man who was wounded by the sword (Pierced by a spear) on the cross, who was in thirst, hunger and naked on it and did live. Raised up into Heaven in the spirit.

Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth (ALL OF THE PEOPLE) by the means of those miracles (SERMONS) which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

And of course, the members of the church, and their children, cause this image to speak.

Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Yes, those conquers of the lay people, those distinct from the church. Who the clergy try to rule the minds of. Who Jesus hates.

Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes (Which means conquers of the lay people, the laity), which I also hate.

Like I said, the dead in Christ will rise FIRST, the rest will be LAST.

Matthew 19:30 But MANY that are first shall be last; (You know, those that DECEIVE MANY) and the last shall be first.

Those that make MERRY CHRISTMAS IN HIS NAME, and give gifts at that time.
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 them that dwelt on the earth.

You know why the dead in Christ will rise first? Because those who think they're alive in Christ can't accept that they have been deceived, so continue to do the deceiving. They believe that just because  they believe in the Lord (Jesus), they are saved, just like that in an instant. Others believe they'll be raptured, raised up into Heaven in a literal cloud because of their mere belief in a name. Unknown to them they're also of what is called symbolically the Synagogue of Satan. They haven't forsaken their thoughts, nor their hearts evil, and as I've said, and which the bible says, the heart is Satan. So all Gentiles, meanings those who are not chosen, who haven't circumcised their hearts are of the Synagogue of Satan. In short eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Matthew 15:7-10 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (As said before, Jesus is the Lord God of the Old Testament, but not the Father who cast him out of Heaven in the beginning)

Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is salvation achieved instantly, for most it will take more than a few lives. All fields take time to produce a good harvest in its season.

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

And no one is being saved without first receiving seed, and sowing what they have received FREELY. The Gospel has to be preached to the whole world, so there's work to be done, along with ones faith in the Father, not human religious faith which is of the Earth..

Isaiah 55:7-11 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

So, in short, turn away from your hearts unrighteousness and turn to the Father within, and he'll water your mind with his spirit, with his righteousness, so that his righteousness will slowly grow in you. Giving you also seed to sow, so that others may reap and eat bread, that true manna from Heaven. Being fruitful and multiplying. 

The whole purpose of our existence here is to know good and be good. Being fruitful and multiplying in righteousness. When in the light, which is Heaven, all there is good. Problem is we desired to know both good and evil, and so to fulfill that desire in all who reside in the Earth, we were cast out into the darkness, the bottomless pit, where the Earth resides in the midst of.

Genesis 1:3-5 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

So here we are getting our just deserts knowing good and evil and doing good and evil, just like the Lord God, who created the living soul for the purpose of just that.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

And thus in the spirit we died. No longer knowing only good, but knowing good and evil also.

Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

A tree which we eat from continuously, the knowledge of good and evil from our own hearts, a heart whose imagination is evil from its youth.

Genesis 8:21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

A creation the Lord God realizes is evil, and regrets making, and so he flooded the Earth in his own evil hoping to start afresh. Unfortunately it is tough to be very good, while having the knowledge of evil. Like mixing a glass of pure water with mud, it cannot help but become contaminated, and unclean to drink. So here in the flesh where we are expelled from God we must learn to purify ourselves.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.

When reading the scriptures you should take the good, and cast aside the bad. Those tares amongst the wheat. Because they have been many deletions, false translations, and outright lies (Eternal damnation) added to scripture. This was known, so the true knowledge was sealed and hidden behind parables, and similitude's that can only be revealed by the Father. But FIRST one must connect with him, in the correct way that Jesus taught.

Matthew 13:24-26 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: (The Good News, what Jesus taught) But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. (The devil) But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. (All religion) So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

So when you read about the deeds and the words of the Lord God, whose ways are crooked, to make straight you should only take the good, the wheat into the barn. Problem is most take the bad also, and then try and justify that evil, since that evil came by the will of the Lord God. A Lord God who also needed to be redeemed himself, his ways made straight.

Ecclesiastes 7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

The Lord God wasn't all good, he was both good and evil as he said himself.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

The Lord God is not the Father who Jesus spake of. NONE knew of the Father before Jesus came into the flesh.

John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

The whole purpose of Jesus being sent was to teach people how to connect with the Father, instead of following the words of the Lord God which were crooked, and plenty of people had heard the Lord's voice, especially the Prophets, who prophesied about the Lord, but yet didn't have knowledge of the Father. The Father worked through the Lord, and even the Lord didn't know. Because through him, in his mystery he set away for all to be redeemed, and since he was the cause of the fall, he had to be redeemed first.

Matthew 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Because the knowledge of the Father wasn't given in those times, and the mystery of the Father, the living God of Heaven is hid in God, so you have to seek him out, within in spirit. It is that which makes plain the scriptures which only can be seen by most people in parables, to others they'll see things plainly, which will make no sense who can't see. They'll take the very image of  things. Seeing only the shadow, and not the light (Knowledge) contained within. If you want to see the light, then seek the Father within. Your praises of Jesus and your proclamations of belief in God, and claims of having the Holy Spirit won't help you here.

Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

For example, the chosen people, the Jewish people were told to circumcise their young, and not to eat unclean food, like pigs. That is a parable, in the Law and the Prophets, a shadow of good things to come, but not the VERY image of. And since this Law was given by the prophet Moses, given unto him by the Lord God, all men followed.

Romans 2:27-29 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

When we circumcise our hearts in the spirit, we no longer continue to eat the hearts unclean food, those apples from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

So the true chosen people are those who have done just that. Hence why Jesus was called the King of the Jews, but not in the way the flesh would think.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

And before one eats the hearts unclean food and starts the lean into antisemitism, ALL are of the synagogue of Satan, because we all worship within our own hearts and follow after our hearts lusts, which are uncircumcised. Remember, WHAT makes men lie, steal, cheat, murder, rape, etc, etc. That is what you must circumcise yourself from.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

And to expound on that source of evil thoughts, Jesus made it quite clear where it came from.

Matthew 15:16-20 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Those who follow Judaism, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists and all other religions, ideologies and Earthly cultures are all of the synagogue of Satan. So those things which rule over our spirit must be cast out of the Father's house which is the spirit.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

In short, you must flee to the mountain. Your Holy place, the place of peace, spiritually called Jerusalem. Your spirit. The sad reward of the religious is that when they read they think they know, not knowing that ALL of what Jesus taught and did was a parable about the spirit, and thus the main work in them goes undone, typically as with all people they focus on the man and not the message. The VERY image of. Similar to those who are waiting for some third temple to be built.

Matthew 24:15-18 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

That which makes the spirit desolate, the abominations from the heart (Judaea, House, Clothes) must be cut off and cast out from that holy place within us. (Have you read and understood?) Because the Father will not occupy the same place as mammon, because your enemies are of your own household, not the VERY image of your own brother, sister and mother.

Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

As Jesus demonstrated as a parable.

Matthew 21:12-13 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

So when you see evil in mind, cast it out, by turning to the Father and asking for him in the spirit, to overcome that evil.  Keep watch at all times, lest the thieves and robbers spoil your house while you sleep. That is resisting the devil, and then the devils temptations will flee from you, and your house will become cleaner. Choose the good always and hold fast to it.

Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

You will fail many times, but one cannot be right without first being wrong, and you cannot succeed without first learning from failures, as the Lord himself found out.

James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Can people not see how Jesus fulfilled the Law, after having his ways made straight?

Jeremiah 32:42 For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

Follow what Jesus said and taught his disciples.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Do people know what FIRST means, and RIGHTEOUSNESS. You're supposed to be seeking something you DON'T KNOW, nor yet have. The fatal mistake of the religious, who think because they believe the words in a book, they know, without having FIRST sought. Like all culture, ideologies, political or otherwise, religion is given to people, and thus people's trust is in man.

Jeremiah 17:13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

It is through what Jesus taught that we get to drink from that fountain of the spirit, which leaves us thirst-less.

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

So we must forsake ourselves, and our riches. Meaning the knowledge of this world which pollutes the mind, and seek the one above, through what Jesus taught, since the knowledge of the Father, the word of God is the living water.

John 4:10-14 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:(Meaning to say that the knowledge in the Old Testament alone isn't sufficient) But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Jesus came to fulfil the scriptures of the Old Testament, making the old, new.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

But, because people can't see or understand the new, they can only see the old. Some see the Lord God as wicked and evil, and he was, crooked in his ways, others see him as the Father, who is all good, as Jesus spoke of him, and other see Jesus as God himself. In the former days the knowledge of the Father wasn't known to man, only the knowledge of the Lord God, who spoke through his prophets. And as Jesus said, no one knew the Father but the son, and the son had yet to come into the world prior to Jesus.

Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

However for the words of the prophets to be fulfilled, the Lord God himself had to come into the flesh to fulfil them, because the Lord God only glorified himself, and made no mention of the Father, and it was only when he himself repented, did he turn back to his Father, who then sent him into this world to preach the good news, and fulfil the scriptures. Again, consider why the Lord God stopped speaking through his Prophets after Jesus came into the world. Very tough to get your head around if you're polluted with religious and theological doctrine, which is why the Father is needed to help ones own understanding.

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Note that the Lord God called himself the Living Waters, and that Jesus himself lead people to the Living Waters. On a personal note, I've somewhat known that the Lord God and Jesus were one and the same spirit, but a different manner of spirit, however for some reason I didn't want to believe it, and thus there were gaps in my knowledge. Initially I though the Lord God to be Satan, whom he in truth created, for the purpose of giving us the knowledge of good and evil. (The function of the soul in a man) Knowledge which has turned us away from the Father, and made us crooked, just like the Lord God. Like most people, I fell for the idea of good vs evil, assuming one to be all evil and one all good. Forgetting that all good, forgives all evil, and would never forsake one that is lost, and set a ways so that the evil could be made good. It is why forgiveness is a key trait to being able to understand these things, because without it, you cannot know the mind of God.

Luke 15:4-7 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

So through his infinite wisdom the Father set a way for all to be made straight through the very one that was crooked, his lost sheep.

Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Who WAS the Lord God that needed his ways to be made straight, the same Lord who created all here in the flesh. Aka via Jesus Christ.

Mark 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

And thus he came to teach about the true living waters that once drank will cause man to thirst no more.

Zechariah 14:8-9 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem;(As Jesus) half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Which is Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

Now how do we receive this GIFT, this living water of righteousness, the true baptism, not of the mother church, who have merely turned the truth into a ritual and tradition of men. Well we should ask for it. Simple no. In secret, within the mind, in the Father's image which is spirit.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

So how do you worship him in spirit? Silence the thoughts of your heart, shutting the door to them, and in the quietness of your mind ASK the Father for RIGHTEOUSNESS... FIRST.

Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

The Lord's prayer is sufficient.

Matthew 6:7-13 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Just say that WITHIN in spirit. The Goal is to receive the Father's Grace his revelations. Believing in God or Jesus, and then claiming to have the Holy Spirit is not being under the Father's grace. Literally millions delude themselves doing that.

Romans 16:25 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,

And secrets hid in God need to be revealed by God. So seek the Father FIRST.

Galatians 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Man can't teach you these things, nor can he release from this world. At best he can point the way, but that is all.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Question is, do people really desire to be righteous, and be made fit for Heaven, or do they just want to believe in God and Jesus, with all faith but no works.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

For it is the Father who gives a faithful servant works to do his will, and as you do the works, more is revealed to you, which increases your faith. In short, you get out, what you put in.

James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

And few seek his righteousness which is the first work. To repent, meaning to turn away from our unrighteousness. Most people believe themselves to be good already, so don't even bother. They merely talk good, but don't think it. They believe a man in a building can cleanse their sins or that their own belief can do so, or even just doing good deeds as a way to bribe God, a sin in of itself.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Even worst, man has created religion to take this power to seek God FIRST from the individual, and instead has them follow doctrines and traditions craftily created to hold man in bondage..

Matthew 15:8-9 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Like visiting men who by some authority, claim to represent God in closets in secret and expecting him to absolve your sins, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. But we were warned, that many would come in Jesus's name stating that they're Christians.

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;(CHRISTIANS) and shall deceive many.

And nearly 3000 years ago, we were warned about the Mother Church, quite skilfully written in prophecy below.

Hosea 4:5-9 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.(Church) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:(Like how most will reject the above) seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. (The Mother Churches children, aka its members) As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. (Paedophilia and all manner of sickness) They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. (Forgive me Father for I have sinned, do three hail Mary's and your sins are absolved so they like to think) And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

And because of all this, the image of Jesus on a cross is used to serve his enemies. That crucifix, that yoke of iron around people's necks. Remember what is said about not the VERY image of.

Deuteronomy 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

Who really does thirst after righteousness? Learn to know what that word truly means.

Matthew 5:6 and Revelation 7:17 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

As said on this pages, the heart (Subconscious) is Satan, The Soul, The Son of perdition, The great Whore, The Devil, The Prince of this world. It is one thing in ALL people. Its evil and wickedness is above ALL THINGS, it is a mystery, who can know it and its deceits?

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Satan is in front of us directing our spirit to its course of this world, when we should be getting him behind us following the course of God. We all serve it in some form, and it is as Anti-Christ as anything that has walked this Earth. That Man of Sin is within us.

Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

We have believe for many thousands of years that Satan, the Devil is something external, a being in direct opposition to the Father of Heaven, that rivals him in power. Some are so foolish, they worship, as though it is something to be admired. Fact is ALL worship him, because all worship their own hearts unwittingly. As said, the imagination of people is evil from their youth.

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

We are not good, we are evil because of it. Our hearts aren't filled with the treasure from Heaven it is filled with the desires of the Earth, and thus we bring forth evil on this Earth.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

This is the tree of knowledge that Lord planted in the midst of the Garden, it is that serpent the Crooked Levitation that feeds us with the knowledge of good and evil, a tree which we eat from continuously.

Job 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

We worship what we know not, and thus know not what we do. The Lord God WAS a God of good and evil, and thus did so, even created within us the Living soul so that we could experience the knowledge of good and evil, with its thoughts being that flaming sword that blocks the path to the tree of life, knowledge of the spirit. But the Father is forgiving of all, and was always with the Lord God, knowing that he would do what he would do, he set a path for his redemption, written about through the Prophets and the Law. So that he who formed that crooked serpent, the Soul in the midst of all peoples (The sea) would also be the spirit that would destroy his own creation, destroy as in meaning to cast out this serpent from the mind which is Heaven.

Revelation 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven:(In our mind) Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; (Satan, using the knowledge of righteousness, that GIFT from God) and the dragon fought and his angels, (The soul and wicked thoughts and imagination) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (Cast out of our spirit) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: (By making us THINK he is external, when in fact he is within us all) he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (It's influence within us, and it's thoughts temptation, evil and the like).

Satan makes us THINK that the scriptures and the New Testament are about the flesh only, so we have today and in times past all those that believe some calamity is to befall us all and destroy all those on the Earth, leading to fantastical thinking.

John 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

We all forget that the Father is all good, so good that he even forgives he that caused the fall in the first place, it is only justified that he would cause our return.

Isaiah 27:1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

And thus he the Lord God came into the flesh as Jesus Christ, sent by the Father to regenerate back into an Angel of righteousness, using that great sword which is the word of his Father. The Living God of Heaven.

Isaiah 7:14-16 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin (Not a literal virgin, similar to how Jesus names isn't literally Immanuel) shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, (Knowledge from his Father) that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. (Unlike the Lord God, who did good and evil) For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, (Because finally he turned to his Father) and choose the good, (Because he learnt righteousness off his Father) the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. (This world, and of course the KINGS are both the Lord God and Jesus, the one and the same being, once crooked and now made straight)

Are you starting to see how the Father never forsakes his children once they turn back to him, we too like Jesus have to cast out the devil out of our minds, so when that day comes, he has NOTHING in us.

John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

Because Jesus had his spirit regenerated while in the flesh, the purpose of him coming was to correct the way of his former self, the Lord God. He is not the Father, but once again he is one with him.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

In short, Jesus and the Lord God are the same being. So the Lord God is a shadow of good things to come, but not the very image of. Most people negate to consider that and thus their understanding of the scriptures is veiled to them.

Luke 24:44-46 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. (Because the Lord's words via his Prophets were about Jesus) Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Somewhere along the line, the Lord God's mind changed, thus he was set up for correction, and that was to come down to the Earth in the flesh and suffer not only for himself but for us as well, because none knew of the Father before he came. And even today few know that Jesus isn't the Father, nor do they know that the Father isn't the Lord God.

Habakkuk 1:11-12 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god. Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. (Jesus was raised up as an eternal spirit back into Heaven) O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

Like said, the Father works in ways that people cannot comprehend, its called the Mystery of God for a reason, and thus he worked his work, that same mystery through the Lord God, and Jesus. Few believe it, and fewer still can come to know it.

Habakkuk 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you. (Through the scriptures)

And Jesus came to finish his Father work, because he brought the knowledge of the Father to mankind. And so we must do as he says to do if we want to return also. By seeking the Father and filling our hearts with good treasure, which in short is the knowledge to be good and resist evil, that knowledge of evil that springs up from our hearts, which we trust so much.

Luke 6:44-46 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Again, the Law and the Prophets are a shadow of good things to come but not the very image of.

Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

Knowledge passed on through similitude's and parables. Like Isaiah 47 below, which speaks of the soul, the Heart which we believe is tender and delicate, the Devil, the Daughter of Babylon, that Son of Perdition being made known to the world, REVEALED, and defeated. Spoken of in the similitude of a woman being unclothed and made naked.

Romans 8:4-7 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Meaning learn to see things spiritual, and not in an Earthly fashion) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; (They'll take an Earthly meaning of scripture) but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Because it cannot not see it, nor can accept it. You have to turn to the Father, seeking after his righteousness so that your mind is renewed in it, and that righteousness, the word of God strips bare the nature of the soul, dividing it asunder from you the spirit held captive by it. In short it is unclothed, cast down and made known to you. Then with the spirit unfettered by the deceitful heart can the true teachings in the scriptures be reveal unto you. Understanding is given via revelation, not
by how one would workout something with the mind or be told by another person.

1 Corinthians 2:6-14 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? (Meaning only you can see the nature of YOUR own soul, and once you do, you'll know how it operates in others) even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (Stating only God the Father can give you understanding of HIS secrets by his spirit) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, (Which is most of what is said here cannot be understood, because most can only perceive with the carnal mind, the soul addicted to the Earth) but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (Using your spiritual mind, to perceive and see through the veil, the spiritual teachings contained in the scriptures) 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. 

Below speaks of the revealing of the heart of man, Satan, and its destruction. The Wrath of God is directed towards Satan, that Son of perdition. Don't get too caught up on the gender narratives, or you'll have no chance. They are of the Earth, the flesh, not the spirit.

Isaiah 47 1-13 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. (What man thinks the heart and soul is) Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: (The true nature of the heart, full of abominations) I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. (Think destroying that crooked serpent) As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans:(You have to silence the work of your Soul before the Father in spirit) for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.(Because it will be revealed for what it really is) I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand:(The Lord polluted his spirit with the knowledge of evil, and thus he polluted us, which he has inherited from the fall, by putting this Lady of the Kingdom within us, the living soul of the knowledge of good and evil, which blots out the knowledge of the spirit, which is only good) thou didst shew them no mercy; (As you can see looking at the works of this world)  upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. (Us being the ancient, those cast out of Heaven in the beginning for transgressing God's Law of simply do good) And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; (And we follow after her lusts of the things of the Earth) I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: (We the captive spirits, being the children, her children of disobedience) But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. (Because most worship the contents of their own hearts, snared by its wiles, assuming others to be evil but not themselves, your mind is everywhere but on the nature of your own hearts, so much so, people all think they are a soul, or worse just a body) Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; (The knowledge of good and evil, which perverts us also) and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.  Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. (The truth about it will be revealed, leading to its end in all people) 

So don't take the following as destroying children, you know taking the very image of, since her little-ones, her angels, her messengers are our very own unrighteousness thoughts which deceive us and the WHOLE world, they which keeps us in the shadow unable to see the good.

Psalm 137:8-9 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Those little ones are your father, mother, brother, sister, wife, children and brethren, that which clouds our perception of the spirit, and the Father.

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Man's own heart is their best friend, in whom all people trust, its also the worst enemy of mankind.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

It is a mystery, and as stated by Jeremiah, its deceit is above ALL THINGS.

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

If people knew their own hearts, then they'd be no crime, murder, war, and the justification of. The nature of the heart is to rationalise the things it does, so that it can continue on its course of doing evil. It contains the knowledge of evil, which is like pouring dirt into a glass of water and expecting the water to be clean to drink. It also contains the knowledge of good, but not only good, the righteous kind of good from God. The knowledge of evil will get in the road, and such all men sin.

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

No matter how good you pretend to be, God cannot be mocked, all the sacrifices and praying in the world won't help anyone escape the heart, why? Because most people think with it, and it is it that forms the character of a man. A character that needs to be symbolically crucified by being purified by the knowledge given direct from the Father, then and only then can a person be transformed into righteousness, being ruled by only the knowledge of righteousness, that GIFT from God..

Romans 2:11-14 For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

As it stands we are a law unto ourselves, justifying our own works of the soul, believing its every word, its every suggestion, like how someone suffering from psychosis believe the very voices in their head.

Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Prisons are full of these people, and so is the world, and because we don't know the secrets of the heart, we know not what we do, and so to know what we do, we need the Father to teach us, otherwise will forever remain captives in prison.

Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

It is the Father that fills the heart with good treasure, not of the world, but treasure of Heaven, of righteousness. And the only work that is good, is to teach good, the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven, wherein dwells righteousness. There is no hatred, sorrow, scheming, backbiting, anxiety, depression and the like in the kingdom, because the works of the earthly heart, the soul has no power there. When we raised up back into the land which we have all fallen, you'll be given new heart, as somewhat explained below in Ezekiel 36:24-27. Remember again, and i'll keep saying this. The Law and the Prophets are a shadow of GOOD THINGS to come, but not the very image, of.

2 Peter 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (Removing the Shadow and leaving only the light) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

You'll err in understanding if you take the very image for you understanding.

Matthew 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Even the Prophets who wrote the scriptures had little understanding of what they wrote, because what they wrote was not of their own will, but of the Holy Ghost as said. Understanding was veiled to all people until Jesus came into the world, and taught man about the Father.

2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

If you can't see the spiritual image, then understanding has been sealed to you, and thus you need to seek out the Father to have that veiled removed, and you do that via following and believing in what Christ taught, not just in believing on Jesus, who doesn't need your praise at all. After all you're in hell and don't know it, and Jesus is in Heaven and knows it. You cannot understand these things alone.

Ezekiel 36:24-27 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements, and do them.

Then you'll be truly one with the Father. Remember, the Lord God in the Old Testament is a Shadow of the Father. They're not the same, and since the Lord is a shadow of good things to come, and what came was Jesus, who talked of his Father, whereas the Lord God talked mostly of himself as God. That crookedness has been made straight, and so must all people. Remember who said the following through the prophets and who actually came to the Earth to do just that.

Isaiah 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

When our hearts have been prepared enough in this Earth the Father will reveal himself to you, IF you seek him out within in spirit as Jesus instructed.

Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

The problem is most seek the words of man, to line up with their own beliefs, and if not are indoctrinated by man and his religion, and will continue to do the evil of their own hearts, all the while claiming to believe in God, which quite frankly anyone can do. Now for something old.

Isaiah 29:10-14 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

And thus when he came in the flesh, very few people understood who Jesus was, so much so they crucified him. Now for something new.

Matthew 15:7-11 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

People assume God and Jesus to be like themselves, meaning to be vain, thinking that if they just believe in them they'll be saved.

Luke 14:25-28 And there went great multitudes with him: 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, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

A person who believes in God doesn't believe in man, and God is not a respecter of persons, so neither should anyone else be. This is life long work to be redeemed, don't be lukewarm about it. Do the work, because you cannot serve both God and mammon. Even those who seek the Father seldom ask for righteousness, what Jesus said to seek FIRST.

2 Chronicles 12:14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.

People in their own deceit claim to speak for the Father, Jesus or even the Lord God, but they only serve themselves and deceive themselves, their Father as Jesus said is the Devil and they do his lusts.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

A person who serves the Father teaches others how to be one with the Father, they preach the good news that all can know salvation, sharing what the Father has freely given them. Not like those in the churches do who serve only themselves and their peers. They do his will, that he gives them to do.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

You can just do any Bible search about the Book of Revelation and look at the images that are associated. All of death, destruction, falsely assuming that some future calamity will come upon the Earth (As it always does) and then those that believe in the name of Jesus will be raised up.  Just how is that preaching the good news? I am a Christian they say, I am saved they say, I have the Holy Spirit, God is with me, etc, etc. All this because a mere belief in a name, because they sure as well don't believe enough to do as instructed. As Jesus said of those who preached on the streets in his day. They have their reward.

Psalm 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

The true battle of good and evil is within, if you're fighting anything without, and I mean anything, you have lost any war you had hoped to begin in the first place. Remember what Jesus said about Satan, when he was accused of casting out Devils with the Devil.

Matthew 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

He's basically saying, Satan is within a man.

Ephesians 6:11-17 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (People can't help but think of some external force here,  it is about our wicked thoughts and imagination of our hearts that we must withstand) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Which will divide asunder soul and spirit, and make known the secrets of the heart.

Luke 2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

And reading above it tells you to fight this war with the good news of peace. You fight the devil with the knowledge of righteousness, knowledge which teaches you about the secrets of the heart, it is that which will help you fight off his wiles. Remember, righteousness is poison to the soul.

Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Those fiery darts are our own thoughts of wickedness and deceit. Those thoughts that make you justify evil, for whatever cause. Your goal should be to think only good and do only good. If you have faith in the Father he will help you achieve all that, and I know it seems impossible now, but as Jesus said.

Matthew 19:23-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily 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 camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

And that means a rich man in the knowledge of the Earth, the foolish wisdom of this world, meaning its religions, politics, ideologies and philosophies, not physical wealth. Jesus was rich himself by human standards, he was after-all brought gold and the like at his birth.

1 Corinthians 1:19-21 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

One of the more foolish doctrines of the Earth is the belief that Satan is on some level equal to God, and people being blinded by doctrine imagine that this serpent is anything other than the thing inside of them that rules over them. Powerful though it is, and it knows what it is, it uses the knowledge of good and evil to rule over man, blinding the spirit as to what it is, by making the spirit THINK it is its thoughts. Sounds confusing, that's because it is, and we are ignorant of its many devices, knowing not what we do.

2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

It rules over its Kingdom, and part of its Kingdom is you and everyone else, of course if his rule is broken, and he is cast out of you so to speak, then his Kingdom will fall. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. It is important that people learn what Satan really is. We dream in it every night, think not that he can't blind our minds in the waking life also. Because he rules over all on this Earth.

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit  (Soul in this case) that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

We are held captive by every imaginations of its thoughts, which need to be brought under control, using what Jesus taught, who said, seek out the Father, and be taught by him. There's a fight for life to be had, and believe alone won't help anyone.

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Its a long road to gain control over our own souls, and impossible without the knowledge given from God. That knowledge isn't earthly doctrine, nor is it learnt in the way we learn about things of the Earth. It is knowledge given by revelation, which will help you to overcome this world, since that knowledge helps blot out our unrighteous predilections. So as said below, turn away from your unrighteousness thoughts, seek the Father and be transformed in righteousness by HIS knowledge, so that your spirits can be made white. Ready for that wedding in Heaven, dressed in that wedding garment, because without it, you'll be going nowhere. The great tribulation is the fight against the devil, your own soul. If you think it is some earthly war, then you have already lost.

Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Be not like those who waste their time debating and discussing scripture, strangely believing that knowing words in a book will save them from they know not what. Remember what was said about memory. The Father's knowledge renews the spirit, not the soul, it merely stops the soul from ruling over you, since your spirit will have all the power of righteousness at its hand.

Job 13:12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

The more you seek the Father within, the sooner your spirit will be refreshed, and your heart set on the things above and not below.

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.

As Jesus waxed strong in spirit in the flesh, regenerated so must we be, through many tribulations from our heart,because through them we are purified in spirit as we fight off the wiles of the soul one by one. We are addicted to the contents of our hearts, like merchants we have lived gloriously through it, sampling her many delicacies. But now we must fast from its contents, starving her from your riches, using the knowledge of righteousness, gifted from the Father of lights.

Job 27:6-7 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

To understand the scriptures better, the best view point is to internalise what is written, in none human terms, so that understanding can be discerned with the spirit. This is not some external war against the things of this Earth, it is an inner battle, to regain control of the inner man.

Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

The trap of just blindly believing in God and Jesus is that those that believe, think they're already saved and are under God's grace, assuming that automatically anything they do is permitted because God forgives them. unfortunately in such forgiveness is hard to come by, and so God doesn't forgive them, regardless of what they believe. If they had forgiveness they would know what is causing all men to sin in the first place, they would have understanding of the many devices of Satan that he uses to deceive all men. Fact is, they do not.

Romans 12:18-20 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (Meaning the truth will burn in their minds, the Father will kindle that fire when he sees fit.)

They refuse to see even their own evil, and all the while judging others, cursing them in the name of God, instead of educating them about the source of evil, they only react to the effect of. People read the above and assume it is about feeding people and giving them drink. It is about feeding people with the knowledge given to you from the Father. In short, do the Father's will and teach them righteousness. Which isn't just about quoting from the Bible, like how the religious do. Not one religious person can understand what I've said on these pages. Not one, and as I've said before this isn't for the religious. They have their reward.

Isaiah 3:10-12 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

All people do reap what they sow, so keep watch so that you don't sow evil.

Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Think more in terms of WHAT is Satan is, because after all, is not man tempted by his own hearts lusts?

Mark 7:20-22 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

And what is within a man that lusts, the same thing that is within all of us, and you don't judge what you understand.

John 2:24-25 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

That which is called the Prince of this world, that Son of Perdition, that has yet to be revealed, that MYSTERY.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Of course man mind being fully cleaved to their wicked thoughts hearts have yet to fall away from its rule over them. That abomination that makes the spirit desolate man holds in high esteem. After all people act according to what they think, because they believe ALL of what they think.

Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

You are not your thoughts, you're only subject to them. It is a relationship that needs to be broken in all people, otherwise in the end they will break you, like they do all people who dwell on this Earth.
