New Jerusalem
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
We have to take a different perspective of looking at things, instead of the fleshy way, which tends to lean to the negative. Taking on what is perceived as the bad news instead of spiritually discerning the good news when concerning the scriptures. So look at the image, and see the temple mount, and now see that Jerusalem is the spirit. Be in your Father's house, that holy city, that temple and kick out those thieves that are making you view the image in its very image, a place on the earth called Jerusalem. This topic is about the spirit, not the flesh, since the flesh profits nothing.
Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Basically the scriptures should be read in non-human terms. To be clear, not with your thoughts, which will by default take a human interpretation. Here's a perfect example of what I mean. I posted the following in response about someone in the news on the day of writing.
Proverbs 28:20-22 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. To have respect of persons is not good: for a piece of bread that man will transgress. He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
And this is the response I got.
'That translation has always been a little fucky. The Hebrew was regarding partiality in the judicial system (and the bounty awaiting those of the faithful). To pass sentence in favor of a person, because he is rich, or is a relative, friend, an acquaintance, has done a previous kindness for you, another or the public, or has done bad to your enemies, is a corruption of the court system. The piece of bread is a common analogy regarding a basic necessity. It's a common talking point when discussing poverty. This proverb regarding partiality is timeless, we still have these issues today.'
That's how most people operate, using their religious/worldly indoctrination to interpret the scriptures, having no respect for God since they don't know him in the spirit, and thus cannot see the mystery contained within the scriptures with the spirit.
Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
People rich in earthly knowledge, the possession of their hearts that they love, and cannot give it up for the knowledge of the spirit. Their knowledge of this world is part of what defines them as a person, it is their possession, possessions that have a stranglehold on their spirit. Whereas the knowledge of the spirit is from Heaven, which they cannot enter, nor understand.
Psalm 94:11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
And where is Heaven, it is within, and people are busy looking without in the world for their knowledge. Like in churches, temples, YouTube, or even websites/blogs like this. Difference is, most seek the things that their hearts are already conformed to and familiar with, but few seek out what they do not know.
Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
This isn't common knowledge, hence the instruction to preach the Gospel. Doing God's will and being doers of the word, sowing seeds of truth into the hearts and mind of the people, so that it may bare fruit in them, when it is their time to grow. Remember, all seeds take time to grow, and it is the Father spirit that causes them to grow, not man. Prepare their way, in righteousness.
Colossians 1:5-6 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
And it is the Father's spirit that he himself sends and make himself known to those who have heard the Gospel before, the good news. So, to begin to receive those seeds, the following has to be applied in the spirit.
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. (Meaning that he'll reveal and open your understanding of the scriptures and indeed the world)
And not in the corrupt earthly fashion the Catholic Church has adopted, deceiving all people in the process, even after being told not to call man your Father on the earth by Jesus, and in the process having respect of persons in regards to the spirit.
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
But alas, few seek and few find that secret, because none do that former scripture above, and enter into their own closet, with their spirit, and instead do the latter, putting their faith in men who talk about God, but not to God himself, in a literal closet, in a literal building. It's not even funny.
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,
The Father's word is what teaches people via revelation, since he reveals knowledge to the renewed mind. As Jesus said;
Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
The mind in the response above is dead in the word and blind, and even though they can read the letter, they cannot read the spirit, because the letter has killed any truth in them. They cannot discern the mystery hid in God, and they can only read the letter written by men.
Matthew 13:16-18 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 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. Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
As said above, even the Prophets, didn't they understand what they themselves wrote, since the knowledge of the Father, the mystery hid from the beginning wasn't known to man until Jesus, the firstborn of the dead came into the world. The first to sow the seeds of the spirit in the world, the first to bring the words of his Father into the flesh. Hence the tag, Jesus was the word made flesh. And since the word is the knowledge of the spirit, when Jesus was in the flesh, his words and all his deeds, including those miracles were parables about the spirit. Jerusalem.
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.
So, when you receive, sow the seeds (knowledge) you've received off the Father, so that they too can begin to see, once they have found that treasure you've hidden in their field.
Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Love thy neighbour as you would yourself. On this hangs all of the Law and the Prophets, and loving God is being a doer of the word, to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery.
Ephesians 3:9-10 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: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (Again, church is a corruption of the word ecclesia, which means to call out. So the powers in heavenly places might be known by those called out by God)
So is it with all else who are not receiving revelations from God using that third part of man, the spirit, which is Jerusalem, and instead use the second part of man, which is the soul, which is spiritually called Babylon, that mystery in all men, whose knowledge is only of this world, which comes through the first part, the flesh, which is the world.
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.
Which is why there is;
Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
The response above is a prime example of a person using their own wisdom, leaning on their own earthly understanding, following the devices and the knowledge that comes from their own deceitful heart, which lacks any spiritual understanding.
Proverbs 19:21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
Since to them, it is about how to behave in the flesh, or what has happened in history, whereas in the spirit it is how not to behave in your spirit. Since all scripture are a shadow of good things to come but not the very image of.
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.
The scriptures are for correction and instruction in righteousness. Whereas in the letter it is about the events of the times, of the law of the flesh. In short, history.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
And unless the veil that is upon the mind when the Old Testament is read is removed, people will never understand, and they cannot hear, nor preach the good news which is of the spirit, not the flesh.
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.
Since that seal needs to be removed from the book for anyone to be able to understand it. The same seal that needs to be removed so that people can view the image above, and discern it with the spirit, instead of the natural man.
Revelation 5:2-5 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And they're seven seals that need to be removed before anyone can fully understand the scriptures, as stated clearly in the Book of Revelation, a book about spiritual knowledge being revealed, so that the spirit can see. So the primary aim is to remove that veil by following what Jesus taught. So that those seals on the Bible, which is the book spoken of in Revelation, are removed and the mystery behind those seals are revealed.
1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
As said, the letter kills the truth, and there is no spiritual truth in what is said above, even though there is historical truth in what is said in the quote at the top. Those type cannot understand what is new, because new wine doesn't go into old bottles. The heavily religious cannot in anyway understand these things.
Mark 2:22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Because the old bottle has been born conformed to the knowledge of this world, quickened in the knowledge of the earth, and dead to the knowledge of the spirit.
Luke 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
So it needs to be transformed, and that cannot be done if it refuses the new wine, nor learn the words of the new song.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The Gospel must be preached so that the hearts and minds of all people are prepared, so that all people can be transformed out of being the first Adam, the living soul, and become a quickening spirit, the last Adam.
1 Corinthians 15:42-48 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Only then can they be born again of the spirit, in a whole new bottle, operating from the spirit, instead of the lusts of the heart and the flesh. Like a thief in a night, you won't see it coming.
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Replace bottle with body for a clearer understanding. Again, parables.
Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Marvel not when when it is said, you must be born again, with the knowledge of the spirit in you, prepared in hearts so that people may bare fruit, as they grow up into the knowledge of the spirit in all things.
Ephesians 4:14-15 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, (from life to life) and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
All people have to become as little children again, so that people no longer have to be children again. He came speaking in parables remember, so why is it that people cannot hear, and cannot see now? Because to all people, the knowledge of the earth, the old wine is better.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
People cannot be fully convinced, nor converted in one life. If they could, then all would be in Heaven right now, and Jesus wouldn't have been crucified by those whose feet are still in the net of Satan.
Psalm 25:14-15 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
So preach the Gospel so that all people can draw out the mystery of the Old Testament with the Old Testament using the New testament. Since it is the Father who reveals his secrets.
Leviticus 26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
The more knowledge of the kingdom (spirit) which you'll receive and have revealed to you, hidden within the words of the Old Testament that you preach, the more you'll understand and then preach also. To be clear, you have to give to get. Reaping what you sow.
Matthew 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Hide it the knowledge in their fields, not doing your alms in public to be seen of men, because it isn't about the individual, it is about all other people. Don't hide your light, but at the same time, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Matthew 25:1-4 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Don't be like those foolish women, who went seeking a husband without oil in their lamps, who are a similitude for the religious. Those blind guides trying to lead the blind. Who preach of God, or whatever holy figure they worship, having respect of persons in the process, but have yet to be anointed, so cannot know or learn the new song, since the new song is the anointment.
Revelation 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, (The four Gospels) and the elders: (The twenty four books of the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh) and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
For the knowledge of God is hidden in the Old Testament, and that hidden knowledge is the New song, sung in front of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Fact is, the Gospel of the Kingdom isn't being preached to the world because all the religious do is use the fear of eternal punishment to manipulate and deceive people into converting to their doctrines. They have their commentaries about the lives of the disciples, Jesus and the prophets, and focus on the personage instead of the message.
2 Timothy 2:14-16 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
They babble on about words and translations like I demonstrated at the top, believing that they know God's will, but serve only themselves and those like them.
Luke 20:47 Which devour widows' houses, (those who don't know God in the spirit) and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
With long prayers, and long speeches in their churches, temples and mosques, they deceive the hearts of the simple, day and day, week after week indoctrinating others and deceiving themselves.
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.
These things aren't for the religious, it is for those wayfaring men, those who haven't found, but yet know instinctively that they're a spirit within, but they're unsettled on this earth, they feel like a stranger in a strange land.
Isaiah 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
Unlike the religious who are settled, fixed in place, are are obsessed with what other people do on the earth, judging them and condemning them, doing what Jesus said not to do.
Psalm 119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
Avoid talking of these things with the religious. It is not for them, for they serve the doctrines of this world, a world they're all too familiar with, and love.
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.
It has worked for thousands of years, so hey why change now eh? Giving to the earthly poor helps no one. Giving spiritual knowledge of the kingdom to those who are poor in spirit helps everyone.
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Because they too will share the knowledge of the kingdom, and be filled with the knowledge of the kingdom.
Psalm 146:9 The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
Hence the whole fellowship of the mystery, of things spoken in a mystery. Whereas all people know the doctrines of religion for the most part. True knowledge of the kingdom turns their doctrines upside down. Since they're the wicked ones, sowing iniquity throughout the earth, by having men, worship man, and their ideas of God.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
The Fatherless are those who don't know the Father, and as Heaven is the husband, the widow is all those who don't know the Kingdom of Heaven, and are instead suffering because of the enemy, because of their own soul.
Psalm 13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Pure religion so to speak, only gives knowledge of the spirit to those who don't know it. While at the same time not falling to the lusts of their own heart, and the world.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain
All religion is vain, born in self-interest, with the saved boasting about being saved and having the Holy Spirit, and all those biblical experts who think spending their whole life studying the Bible actually helps them, and puts them above their peers. Their idea of salvation is education, memory work. Intellect is of the soul, not the spirit.
1 Corinthians 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
They may honour Jesus and the Father with their mouths, but their faith is feigned, based on their own feelings and knowledge and not in the truth, which is of the spirit.
Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
They're the dead that bury their own dead. Remember what a carcass is, a dead body.
Matthew 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
For they are all those who are left in this world, mourning their dead at their funerals. They only know the dead, and will return to world of the dead.
Luke 17:36-37 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
There's no mourning in the spirit, only joy and life.
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.
The Gospel is supposed to make people better, so why has the world got significantly worse over time, and why do the backwards beliefs of the religious and spiritual exist today?
Ecclesiastes 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
The only thing that has really improved in the nature of man is our intellect, and in direct proportion to that, the technology that has been invented using our increased knowledge and understanding of this world.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Regardless of all that, Jesus taught us for good reason why we should be aiming to overcome this world.
John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
And so if the world is evil, so are all the people in it.
Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
The mistake that people make is thinking that the Gospel, the good news is the Bible, which it is, but not directly. Problem is people are reading it with what is bad, through their souls, therefore they do err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
Because the Holy Spirit is what teaches people about the good news, and it is what renews the mind to help people understand the scriptures, using the spirit.
Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
The good news hidden with the scriptures cannot be known by the heart's own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
It can only be understood with the spirit, and Jesus was the first to teach people on how to receive it, on how to connect with the Father, and have our paths directed in righteousness, which is of his spirit.
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.
That third part of man is the spirit (mind), which is currently dead in all people, because it doesn't know itself, and believes it is either the second part, which is the soul (heart) or the first part which is the body.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
We cannot do these things, nor understand these things in full without the word of God.
Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
The true Gospel of the kingdom, since it is from Heaven, divides all these three parts asunder, so that the spirit can become to know itself, and know of the wicked soul, that mystery Babylon that ruled over it.
Revelation 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
That wrath, the word of God, destroys the works of the soul, so people will no longer be conformed to the soul's works and the flesh which is of this world. Unless how the religious would like people to think via their wicked thoughts and imaginings, the wrath of God heals the spirit, renewing the mind and destroys the works of this world in people.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow (flesh), and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
God is a spirit and must be worshipped in spirit, since it is the spirit that is made right, and it is the spirit that goes to heaven.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
His spirit, his words of truth prepares the heart to understand the good news, and then slowly converts the soul into knowledge of righteousness, the soul, the heart will no longer condemn the spirit as the spirit is free to be renewed by God, so that it can be raised up on its last day.
Psalm 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The heart will fight for its survival for it knows the word of God brings about its end in all people, but in the end it will be defeated after a great struggle, but it will be full of the knowledge of God, the cup of God's wrath upon all unrighteousness. Then you can worship the Lord, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind, in righteousness.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
But before all that they'll, be a great tribulation, times of troubles and the beginning of sorrows individually within all people.
Zechariah 13:8-9 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
The spirit will suffer in this fire of affliction, being tried like gold in a furnace, and yet being purified like silver, but the Father will bring the spirit through all the devil's temptations.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Remember, what you should be asking God in the spirit, to keep you from temptation and deliver you from evil, since that evil is of your own hearts. In short, you'll have to resist the wiles of the devil in you until you have won the war.
Matthew 24:6-8 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Because Satan, the ruler of this world rules your mind and sits in the Kingdom of Heaven, and you are aiming to rule over you own soul, until you too can see Satan fall from Heaven like lightning.
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Then you will have possessed your soul, after you have cast him out of his seat in your mind.
Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
After coming through the great tribulation, which is not of this world.
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Again, the great tribulation is within in your mind against the soul, that battle of Armageddon, for the weapons of warfare are not of the flesh, of the spirit, which is where Satan works wickedness in that high place within you.
Ephesians 6:12 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.
Once that battle has been overcome, having full confidence in God.
1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Your hearts will no longer condemn you.
1 John 3:20 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
And through faith in the Father, you'll be able to resist all those devices of the devil. No longer will the wicked thoughts and the imaginations of the heart plagues your minds.
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
You will be renewed in mind, and the heart will be made clean.
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
So to achieve all of the above, one must do as Jesus taught, using that third part of man.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
And where did Jesus say the Kingdom of God is?
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.
Unfortunately the knowledge of Heaven has been shut up by the religious.
Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
They have made the Father's house, the spirit, a den of thieves with their doctrines that makes people twofold children of hell, after feeding them the bread of wickedness.
Proverbs 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
And Satan still sits there, taking the Kingdom of Heaven with violence, via his many devices, like the wicked thoughts and imaginations of the heart. His servants, they who love the world, especially the religious are those who take the kingdom it by force.
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
So through Jesus teachings of turning to the Father first, we must be taught and learn how to cast down all those wicked imaginings of the heart out of our minds, using our mind, out of our borders.
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.
Again, that is the good fight we must spiritually fight against the messengers of Satan, those thorns in our side. All those evil thoughts, and wicked intentions that we have. We must put aside all unrighteousness, using that gift of righteousness that the Father bestows on us, as we do his will.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
A free gift that gives people understanding of the truth, and his words of truth which keep us on the straight and narrow, that path of freedom, truth and joy. The gift of the Holy Spirit which teaches people and guides them on that path of righteousness.
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 and only then will people be free from the snare of the devil, because you and the Father will be one. Then they'll be no more violence of the land, no more wicked thoughts and imaginations of the heart to plague the minds of those who abide in the spirit.
Isaiah 60:18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
So yes, take your spirit, that third part of you, and enter into the kings house (within in spirit) and keep watch with your spirit, lest the thoughts from your hearts spoil your house like thieves and robbers, ruining the sabbath, making your spirit work on the sabbath, thinking about all the troubles of the world.
Matthew 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
It is those wicked thoughts and imaginations of the hearts which breaks the peace of our minds, so keep watch, and guard all your gates from the wiles of Satan.
Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Keep watch, and you'll be able to leave those armies which surround Jerusalem (your spirit) desolate, fighting them off as they attack. You'll see them coming before they trouble that third part of you, the spirit. Jerusalem.
2 Kings 11:5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
So keep watch so that your capital is no longer divided by those armies which surround it. Have your mind fully focused in the spirit, on the knowledge of God, which will make your mind made single, and your hearts purified by the word of God, hearts no longer full of darkness, but full of light.
James 4:7-8 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.
So again, go within with your mind, which is the eye of the body, so that the knowledge of God renews your mind and in turn purifies the heart. If your mind is on the contents of the heart, then it is divided and full of darkness, and that darkness will be great. Since the heart not purified by the word of God, which are his revelations, will continue to do and imagine evil, leading your mind into its darkness, causing the whole to be in darkness.
Luke 11:34-36 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
So with all that said, set about reclaiming your city of the spirit from the flesh, and within it overcome this world.
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.
Instead of seeking to be the chosen of the earth, be chosen of the spirit.
1 Peter 2:9-10 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Circumcise your hearts with the word of God, instead of the flesh which profits nothing. Circumcise your hearts in the spirit so that you no longer eat its unclean food that are its wicked thoughts and imaginations that defiles the spirit. Have it purified with the good food of the Father, and be free.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
They'll be no more coming into the flesh and facing death, losing all that you have, and you'll no longer have to leave the city of God. For in the flesh you will have learned to dwell in your spirit at all times, and you'll no longer be expelled from Heaven, after being changed into the pure form of the spirit, and raised up in a twinkling of the eye.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Sounds strange?
Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
That's because we're strangers in this world, a peculiar people as said above, like the Jewish people who were held captive in Egypt with no land of their own, we're strangers in a strange land held captive by our own souls, away from our Kingdom that is in Heaven.
1 Chronicles 29:15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
Like with the Jews of the earth, persecution will arise in our spirits, caused by the heart. But as they were delivered to the land of milk and honey. So will all people be in their day. For as I've said before, the law and the prophets are a shadow of good things to come, but not the very image of.
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
