When times get tough or another person is struggling with something, people in their arrogance think they can pray to God, even en-mass, like he is some genie that will just miraculously fulfil their demands, and in that same arrogance, they forget that God has no respect of persons, and will not be so easily swayed by a mere wish or desire of ones heart. Try as people might, they cannot avoid their fate, and Jesus knew his, and still couldn't avoid it.

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

Jesus prayed to his Father, wanting to avoid being crucified.

Matthew 26:36-39 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. (Again, don't pray in publicly) And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: (Because the soul within Jesus knew it end was nigh) tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Even that was prophesied in the Old Testament.

Isaiah 53:10-12 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; (Remember, the Lord God is a shadow of the 'Father' in the Old Testament, and he also the shadow of the good things to come into the flesh as Jesus to glorify his Father. That is key to understand) he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, (since it is the cause of sin) he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

And yes, the Lord God through his prophets, prophesied about his own future in the flesh, since unknown to the Lord God at the time, the Father set in motion the grand plan to have all those that fell from Heaven be redeemed by the very same spirit that caused all those to fall in the first place.

Romans 5:17-19 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; (The Lord God, the 1st of Heaven) much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (Jesus Christ, the servant to all, the last)

The Father is all about forgiveness, after all he forgive his first transgressor, but he will not directly interfere in a spirit's progress in the flesh, certainly not because of a mere wish. No one commands the 'Father'. People have to decide themselves to seek the 'Father', and people will have to find the truth for themselves. This isn't about being told and believing, like how the religious would like it. Nor is this about indoctrination, and having billions of mindless worshippers in Heaven praising God, which is why to the flesh, God appears not to exist. Mindless religious worship is a big enough problem in the perishable flesh. It isn't desired in Heaven.

Psalm 48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

As a side note, God, the Father, is both male and female, since all spirits are both masculine and feminine in nature. So if people want refuge from the soul's works, then go within and seek FIRST as instructed. Once that process begin, then the 'Father' will draw the seeking spirit to his knowledge, in whatever way suits the individual. Until then, what Jesus taught, and what is contained within the Old Testament will be sealed and veiled to those who see but cannot see, and to those that hear and cannot hear. People will just see parables, proverbs, allegories and similitude's and can only guess as to what they're alluding to. In such people, the literal letter will kill the truth, and any understanding of the scriptures.

John 6:44-47 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. (Meaning to following what he taught, not the blind worship of a man people have never met) Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

The Father knew all those that would fall before this world began, and the knows the exact moment that all those that fell will return, but he will not intervene directly, unless the spirit in a man seeks him out personally, and not through respect of persons, like people's religious leaders.

John 5:39-45 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aka The Lord God) And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?  Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

If people desire to sit in a building, listening to a man rattle on about something and someone they know nothing about, then good luck to them.

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.

They belong to this world, and will remain in it, and return to it, since people clearly love to listen to men speak of the earth.

John 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Anyone can believe in anything via the contents of the soul, since that is mostly programmed by the irrigation of the world, and its wisdom that comes from men. But unfortunately it is the soul that the spirit in a man needs to be saved from. Most currently can't even tell the two apart, and  even worse than that, some think they're just the flesh only. Woe to those who depend on the two.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Now going outside of the box that is the Bible, I'm going to use parts of the 'Gospel of Thomas' within this, which isn't cannon, but mostly true none the less. I'm using it to try and expound upon why treating God as some sort of creature that can be summoned to fulfil their wishes is really not a good idea, thinking that you can pray yourself out of personal trouble. As Jesus himself found out, when asking for an earthly thing, because he succumbed to the fear within his soul, by asking to be saved in the flesh, briefly forgetting that it was is his spirit that needed to be redeemed and raised up. The soul in a man is a powerful creature, don't ever forget that. It can lead a man to kill amongst a host of all other abominations. For we all drink from its cup, as described in an allegory, a similitude below. It's no accident that the most powerful in the earth tend to be the most deceitful and corrupt.

Revelation 17:4-5 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

We've seen what has happened with the religious authorities that have ruled this world, not only thinking they have power over the mind's of mankind, but over God himself. They are the merchants who get rich of her delicacies, and in part, we all do. Receiving her plagues none the less, for the plagues are those things which infect the spirit, turning it away from the law of righteousness. For example, vote in and continue to support despots, and power crazy people who desire to rule and control people, then crazy things happen in the world. They'll be no peace here.

Revelation 18:3-4 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Because when we partake of her sins, eating the apple off 'Satan's' tree of knowledge of good and evil, we end up sowing corruption and thus reaping corruption, and the same goes for everyone. No amount of prayer to God is going to help people escape the penalty that must be paid in the flesh, if we continue to drink from Satan's cup. So as said above, we most come out of our own heart, and dwell in the 'Father's House, in our 'Holy Temple' in our own mind, the spirit, which is made in the image of God who is a spirit.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

The religious and spiritual love to exalt themselves above their fellow man, either because of their wealth, intellect, family, work, and of course belief. Much like how Lucifer exalted himself above the 'Father' in Heaven, the religious do so to their fellow man on the Earth. There's no place for that manner of attitude in the 'Kingdom', so here we are in the flesh to purge out that nasty way of thinking. So like the Lord God (Lucifer) who was sent into the flesh as Jesus (Who called himself the Morning Star for a reason) to be made straight in his way, so are we here, to be made straight. Difference is, he knew it, and we don't. There's a reason Jesus was called the firstborn of the dead.

Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Somewhere in history, certain people have set themselves up as the spiritual authority on the earth, thus the gift of righteousness, and the Kingdom will be hidden from them, for they have their own God, their own doctrines and their own masters that they worship.

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.

Some may have the truth (Though not in full), and know full well what 'Satan' really is, but they will be unable to exercise that knowledge on themselves, so will use the knowledge of the soul against other people.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

And until everything is made beautiful in their own time, and until the truth dawns on them, the unwitting masses will continue to buy into just about anything these so-called spiritual authorities tell them, since as said, the world and the love of it is set in their hearts. And their father is in fact their own hearts, the devil.

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.

So the knowledge of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' is taken it from those seeking it by force via their religions which they have spread throughout the earth, and of course, being in the flesh, subject to the wisdom of this world, the Kingdom itself, within us suffers violence. Spiritually. Again, don't take the very image of things. Convert the flesh to the spirit.

Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Spiritual violence is committed upon the minds of men, minds that will remain captive in this prison house of the flesh, because their hearts and minds have been infected further by doctrine. They have become twofold more children of hell than even they who have indoctrinated them.

Luke 12:58-59 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

But remember this, when people don't realise that they're in a prison, they cannot even begin to start their rehabilitation to be made straight, and no longer being of a crooked manner, being both good and evil, but instead made just good.

Luke 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

And like the Lord God who himself was sent into the flesh to be made straight, so here we are also. Again, the difference between him and the rest of us is that he knew why he was here, where he was and what he really was.

Mark 10:37-40 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

Think hard, what is the point of preaching the Gospel, the good news? To prepare a peculiar people, a people made ready for that baptism of the spirit. That glass of clear water.

Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

The baptisms the religious are baptise with, is the glass of water and dirt of the earth, and such only talk of the bad news, looking at the news and events of the time, believing that it is signalling the end. (They look to earthly things, and then begin to believe the heavenly things will come) Without first being prepared, people will first drink from the earth, and thus be polluted by that unclean water.

Psalm 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

And without being anointed, one cannot gain the keys of knowledge of the spirit, the soul and this earth. Some have used the knowledge of the soul to rule over mankind, amassing a lot of wealth and power.

Matthew 4:8-10 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Not many, but quite a few, for unlike Jesus, they succumbed in full to the temptations of the devil, their own  hearts lusts of the world. But then again, it was Jesus Christ's former crooked manner as the 'Lord God' who created 'Satan' in the first place, that heart in a man. He is the 'God of this world' now, since he is the one who can give the world to people. Satan quite literally tempted his own creator, the Lord thy God as he said. Confusing isn't it? Think of it this way, we are of our own hearts, and so follow after it.

1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Who else is going to destroy the works of the devil within us all other than its creator? What else was said that gets destroyed in hell,? the soul. Remember, parable, allegories, similitude's, and proverbs are used to hide the Mystery of God', who God will reveal himself to when he sees fit.

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.

It is quite easy to hide the meaning behind them, by making people focus on the very image of things, so that what they perceive in their minds is only pertaining to the things of the flesh.

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.

Having them remain in the shadow, blind to the light, never having a perfect understanding of the scriptures because of that. This is how the knowledge of the spirit contained within the book are sealed, so that in seeing people do not see, and in hearing, people do not hear.

Mark 4:11-12 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: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

Since to understand the scriptures, the knowledge has to be given from God himself. Bible study isn't going to help anyone here. People could live a hundred lifetimes and still come no closer to understanding the 'Mystery of God'.

Gospel of Thomas (39) Jesus says:

(1) “The Pharisees and the scribes have received the keys of knowledge, (but) they have hidden them. (I've made them quite clear on this website) (2) Neither have they entered, (Into THY closet) nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. (Because their doctrines focus on the flesh, causing men to seek with out in this world, towards people and their religions)

The religious authorities of the earth blind the minds of their children, their followers, and that sort of power over people doesn't bring peace, but corruption and destruction. They maybe the the first on the earth, but they will be last into the 'Kingdom'. A good example of the worship of man is Hallie Selassie, a man who committed genocide against the Oromo people in Ethiopia, and yet for some reason, Jamaican Rastafarians worshipped him as a god, because he claimed to be from the line of David, blissfully ignoring the fact that he himself held slaves. This wasn't helped by singer Bob Marley whose words and songs often praised him as divine, even down to denying that he died in the flesh. Even worse they believed a prophecy from Marcus Garvey who stated, look to Africa, for a black king shall be crowned. Garvey himself slated Selassie, and called him a coward, for fleeing the Italians when they invade Ethiopia, and not only that, called him out for owning slaves. And yet, people being people, they still worship a man that is, by all intents and purposes is quite evil. So evil, even the British Royals bowed down to him, and yet they're people who still think him 'Holy'.

Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

The whole point of that is, is to say, worship no man, and make no man your master. Because the treasures of the earth quickly bring poverty of the spirit, and the men and women people believe to be great people, often are not. The above could quite easily be applied to Gandhi, or Mother Teresa, or any world 'Leader' past and present. Remember what manner of planet we are on. None are good here.

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 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.

If people desire to rule and have control over people and have the praise of men, then the understanding of these things will be kept far from them. They themselves won't be able to enter into the 'Kingdom', and instead will be ruled by those who themselves cannot enter in either.

Matthew 10:32-34 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Bare in mind, this is far from about pleasing people, for the sword that Jesus brought, is the word of God that destroys the works of the soul.

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

Because ones own works, is the infection, that leaves the spirit desolate, bereft of the knowledge of itself, and its environment, and of God.

Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

These are not pleasing things to hear, especially for 'believers' ruled by their own souls, for the soul within them knows that these things will bring about its destruction once understood, and like Jesus, all will feel the sorrow of the enemy, that exalts itself above the spirit. And as the soul was destroyed on the cross in Jesus, so must the soul be destroyed in us, along with the flesh in hell. And this is hell. Because if the soul has something in our spirit at the time of death, then we cannot be raised up alone, as a solitary spirit.

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.

There's no need to pray to God in Heaven, only in hell do people pray, and even then they do it incorrectly. Again, he's not a genie to be summoned to fulfil people's own earthly wishes and desires in their time of suffering and want. Again, Jesus made that mistake in his time of the soul's sorrow. He was curse to know his exact fate, so no wonder he wanted to avoid it, others are more fortunate.

John 7:16-18 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

In fact the 'Father' calls and chooses people out of this world so that they can fulfil his purpose. The 'Father' is the 'Father' and knows exactly when to call those who he has chosen, yes, even before this world began. For all things have an element of predestination here in the flesh. Regardless of what people may believe, for even what they believe at any specific point in history is set in stone. Such it is in a determinate universe. For what was done in the past has a direct effect on the present. However, that can only be proven to oneself when one can perceive with the spirit.

Psalm 82:5-7 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Outside of that, people will believe that there is no order to this world of good and evil, and that they're in full control of their fate.

2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Be real clear on this, it isn't the other way around, you don't call God so that he can fulfil your purpose. And that's what all people do when they pray. And even then, they pray with out, in the flesh via their mouths anyway, normally desiring the things of the earth, which includes wishing for your ill parent for example to get well. To pray correctly, you pray with your spirit, asking for the precious knowledge of the spirit, which is that hidden manna from Heaven.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

When it is a person's time, it is their time. If the reading the Bible can teach anyone anything, it is that. For half of it is a book of prophecy, a book of mysteries written in plain sight but hidden to those who mind the things of the flesh, and revealed to those who mind the things of the spirit. Don't be fooled into thinking that I'm saying be passive, all will be well in the end, since all people have to play a very active role in their own regeneration of the spirit. Ultimately, we all have to learn of the spirit here, and not only that, we all have to overcome the world, and our own souls here. Forget not that the word overcome alludes to a struggle to be had. And with our spirit we must learn to keep our hearts from possessing our minds.

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

Seriously, watch what you pray for, because you may just get it, and it may not turn out how you might desire. For the prayers of men, asking for the things men desire come forth from that wicked and deceitful heart within us all.

Gospel of Thomas (2): Jesus says:

(1) “The one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds.
(2) And when he finds, he will be dismayed.
(3) And when he is dismayed, he will be astonished.
(4) And he will be king over the All.”

Yes, ultimately people will rule over that deceitful and wicked soul within them, that contains all of the knowledge of good and evil, which they do evil with.

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

That same soul that causes people to pray to something they know not, incorrectly.

Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

While people don't know their own souls, they live in spiritual poverty, and in fact they themselves are the poverty, since they blindly follow after their heart's lusts.

Gospel of Thomas (3): Jesus says:

(5) But if you do not come to know yourselves, then you exist in poverty, and you are poverty.”

A mind that is poor in the knowledge of the spirit. (Which is why those in the know should give to the poor) Which unfortunately people have taken the very image of. Thinking that acts of charity makes them good. It is the spirit that needs to be healed not the flesh. That's not to say don't help the poor in the flesh, but do it for the fact that you want to help them, and not convert them, since God does the converting not man. Regardless, good deeds of the flesh are not a path to Heaven.

Gospel of Thomas (14) Jesus said to them:

(1)”If you fast, you will bring forth sin for yourselves.
(2) And if you pray, you will be condemned. (In the religious sense, why? Because you're following your heart)
(3) And if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits.

Didn't Jimmy Saville for example do just the same, and how corrupt did his spirit become? It is a similar situation for many in the Church, many of whom think the true fast is of the flesh, when the true fast is of the works of the soul, shutting that door after you've entered into thy closet. It's not good to have too much earthly authority, especially if you lack the knowledge of the soul in a man.

1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

Not only can it make people its victim, it will lead people to make victims of others, spoiling their house also.

John 14:2-7 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Keep thy heart, because within thy mansion, if you're not the master of that house, the robbers will come in and spoil it. Remember what Jesus said, the Kingdom of Heaven is within, in the spirit, within people's own mind. So go within, and become the master of your own house, being one with your Father.

Mark 3:23-27 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? (People must cast him out themselves out of their own mind) And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

Our mind is that strong man and it needs to stand alone, so we need to cast out those in our own house out, even if it means warring against them, for the fire purges and the sword slays those members of the house, that sword again, being the word of God, which divides asunder the soul and spirit. (Also I suggest when praying correctly, within thy closet, in the silence of the mind, that secret place, that people ask the 'Father' for just that, since that what his grace does first within a person)

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, (Body) and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

If we don't, we will remain divided against ourselves (our minds on the things of the earth, instead of the spirit), serving those unwanted members of our own house, those wicked thoughts and intentions of our own hearts that keep us focused on the things of this world.

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

In a parable, Jesus said they were our brother and sister, mother and mother in law, and wife and children, etc, and that we should hate them, and not love our own thoughts.

Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

They are the things which we need to be spiritually divided from so that we can see them, so that we're are no longer ignorant of the devices of Satan within us.

Gospel of Thomas (16) Jesus says:

(1) “Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace upon the earth.
(2) But they do not know that I have come to cast dissension upon the earth: fire, sword, war.
(3) For there will be five in one house: there will be three against two and two against three, father against son and son against father.
(4) And they will stand as solitary ones.”

We need to be standing alone in our own house, at peace, separate from the wicked thoughts and intentions of our own hearts. No longer will it be a mystery, but we will be its ruler. But first, the war must be fought against this invisible enemy. For all in their day must come to rule their own house. Which is the 'Father's House' which has become a 'Den of thieves' because we have allowed the religions and the wisdom of the world infect it. And instead of our minds being full of knowledge, it is full of ignorance. Our minds cannot be on both the things of the flesh and the spirit.

Matthew 6:22-24 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


So again as said, the purpose of preaching the Gospel is to prepare the minds of those to receive the true knowledge of the spirit, and the 'Mystery of the Kingdom of God'

(Just want to clear this up, medium-ship and channelling spirits has nothing to do with the spirit. That is in fact spiritualism. In fact, practising such things will harm you, in way you don't even want to imagine. If you want to talk to the dead, then speak to yourself in a mirror)  

God is a god of the living not the dead, and if you can't leave the dead behind, then you belong in the flesh.

Gospel of Thomas (56) Jesus says:

(1) Whoever has come to know the world has found a corpse.
(2) And whoever has found (this) corpse, of him the world is not worthy.”

So realise that we're in the world of the dead, where the dead bury their dead, and are ruled and controlled just like others like themselves. Cheering, clapping, praising, and crying over their political leaders like they're gifts from God, neglecting to remember how many people have died by their deeds, regardless of how indirect the actions that have lead to the suffering and even the deaths of people. God is no respecter of persons, and neither should anyone else be.

Gospel of Thomas (27) Jesus says:

(1) If you do not abstain from the world, you will not find the kingdom.
(2) If you do not make the Sabbath into a Sabbath, you will not see the Father.

Unlike religion, this is a rather lonely path. They're no groups to go to, and they're no people to sit around to talk to about these things with. In fact, no man even teaches people these things, since it is the 'Father's gift of righteousness, that anointing oil, his words of truth that anoint the mind.

Leviticus 21:12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.

Again, people have to go within the spirit and seek God, and when he sees fit, he will add all things, as people practice the 'Sabbath' within their own sanctuary, the mind. Remember what was said about parables, and similitude's. Jerusalem, which literally means 'City of Peace' is a similitude of the spirit, a shadow that is of the flesh, which isn't in the very image of the good thing to come, the knowledge of the spirit.

Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Shut the door to the works of the heart, meaning to say, don't think as you observe the 'Sabbath' within the silence of your mind. Because if you don't observe the 'Sabbath', you will not observe with your mind the armies that surround it, those wicked thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Jeremiah 4:14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

Why, because they will have already invaded and trodden the city underfoot, and you the strong man will have already let the robber spoil your house.

Jeremiah 17:21 Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, (keep on guard in that watchtower that is your mind, the spirit) and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

Because that where the true sabbath takes place, in the peace, within the silence of the mind, because to silence the mind literally means to rest from ones works. Not physical work, but the work of our hearts.

Mark 2:27-28 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

That is what 'Sabbath' means 'To rest from ones work'. And as Jesus said, he is the 'Lord' of the sabbath.

Gospel of Thomas (49) Jesus says:

(1) “Blessed are the solitary ones, the elect. For you will find the kingdom.
(2) For you come from it (and) will return to it.”

Those that seek the comfort of man, or have respect of persons, well as said below, they will remain at the door and cannot enter in.

Gospel of Thomas (75) Jesus says:


Many are standing before the door, but it is the solitary ones who will enter the wedding hall.

Some doors are impossible to open from the outside, so those that desire to enter, need to knock first, desiring the knowledge of God and the mystery of his kingdom. Man is no mystery, and man lacks everything, because he lacks the knowledge of the spirit.

Gospel of Thomas (67) Jesus says:


Whoever knows all, if he is lacking one thing, he is (already) lacking everything.”

Like most viruses, and infections, once a cure has been found and applied, the virus will fight back, since the desire of a virus is to live and spread itself.

James 4:4-8 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, (Having an affair with the world, betraying your own mind) know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 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.

As people resist the devil, it will get weaker until it is overcome, but the cure to this virus has to be applied daily, otherwise forgetfulness will lead to the minds undoing. The heart (soul) in a man will persecute the spirit, since it is fighting for its life.

Hebrews 10:31-32 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

After one is illuminated, many tribulations will come, and they will come from the heart, and yes even the world to lead you off that straight and narrow path of the spirit. Again, Jesus had his tribulations in the flesh, and had many sorrows of the soul.

Gospel of Thomas (69) Jesus says:

(1) Blessed are those who have been persecuted in their heart.
(2) They are the ones who have truly come to know the Father.

Again, to fully know God, one needs to be able to see the 'Mystery of the Gospel' in the first place, which is that hidden wisdom that is spoken of in a mystery, by the Prophets, and the Apostles, who brought out to the light, the knowledge of the spirit, that is hidden in the darkness. Hence why they're the foundation, and Jesus is the cornerstone.

2 Corinthians 3:14-17 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. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

But if people take the very image of things, then those things are veiled to the mind, and they'll remain captive, lost within the soul's thoughts, memories, dreams and imaginings. They'll think that they can see, but they'll remain blind, just like all of the religious do in the pride of their own wicked hearts, the same hearts which condemn them.

Gospel of Thomas (83) Jesus says:

(1) The images are visible to humanity, but the light within them is hidden in the image.
(2)  The light of the Father will reveal itself, but his image is hidden by his light.”

And thus, why it is called the 'Mystery of the Gospel' Since the knowledge is hidden in the very image of things, and only the 'Father' can reveal that to the seeking mind. A mind seeking after religious doctrine, taught by man is condemned already. They do their own will and not the will of God. Well you do to avoid these people, since they're many places in the world where people cannot avoid them, since they rule over their respective domains on the earth, often with an iron fist. The way of peace isn't in such people, regardless of how much they shout and scream in the name of their God.

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.

They're are the ones who are standing outside the door, claiming to serve God, but God wants nothing to do with them.

Matthew 25:1-13 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. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Like those five foolish virgins mentioned in the parable above, who went out to meet their bridegrooms, they forgot to put oil in their lamps, the oil that would light up the path up ahead of them. The foolish virgins, represent the religious, who do their own will and not the 'Father's'.

Gospel of Thomas (99)

(1) The disciples said to him: “Your brothers and your mother are standing outside.” (So Mary wasn't a Virgin after all, eh.) 
(2) He said to them: “Those here, who do the will of my Father, they are my brothers and my mother.
(3) They are the ones who will enter the kingdom of my Father.”

However, without spiritually listening to the bridegroom, people will only listen to the religious and spiritual, and preach their doctrines of the flesh, praying with the flesh and fasting with the flesh, and thus will continue to sin, via that invisible enemy within. The soul in a man.

Gospel of Thomas (104)

(1) They said to [Jesus]: “Come, let us pray and fast today!”
(2) Jesus said: “What sin is it that I have committed, or wherein have I been overcome?
(3) But when the bridegroom comes out of the wedding chamber, then let (us) fast and pray.”

Because this specific bridegroom, who is Jesus, taught people to turn within to the 'Father' FIRST, and seek after the knowledge of his kingdom, and his righteousness. Unfortunately, just like those foolish virgins, wandered in the darkness, and only have the contents of their soul, and the souls of others to depend on. Those same souls that are by default in nature, both good and evil. Crooked.

Gospel of Thomas (112) Jesus says:

(1) “Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul.
(2) Woe to the soul that depends on the flesh.”

And because of the soul and the flesh, none depend on the 'Father' and his knowledge of the spirit, the same knowledge that makes people straight, only being very good.

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.

Such people only worship their own hearts desires as God, and there's no better judge than the heart of man, for it judges the spirit that follows after it, and then condemns it.

Matthew 7:1-2 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Even in the world today, you can see people only desire to rule over men, to control and victimise people, using and abusing their wisdom of the world, which as said before is crooked, hiding under the guise of faith and good intentions while under the illusion of safety and security.

Isaiah 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

They think they cannot be seen, and that they can hide themselves from judgement, but in the end, well; All I can say is, be very careful of the plans that you have for people, because those wicked thoughts and intentions are the very things which will judge people and then cast them back into this prison, for the earth is the literal place of judgement, the place where all infections of the mind are purged.

Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, (The spirit, through the earth) and will refine them as silver is refined, (The experiences we have in the earth) and will try them as gold is tried: (Similar to how Jesus was 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.
