Perception
Romans 8:5-7 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. 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.
Something that the religious and the spiritual cannot grasp, because their alternative ways of thinking let's say, has them believing that they're special and different, and better that others, all the while denying the opposite.
Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, (People were told not to worship them, and instead they create literally hundreds of Saints to worship as Angels) intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
The spirituality talked of here isn't the wishy washy precepts of men that the 'New Agers' conjure up to gain followers with their pleasing words like, 'All is one, God is love, Trust in your Heart' and other such anodyne nonsense. Such people have made the word 'Spiritually' a dirty and manipulative word, and I personally don't like to use it, because literally millions have been deceived through it, but there's not much choice in the matter here.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
The words of the spirit are supposed to bring to light the knowledge about the spirit, and thus peace to the mind. And such peace comes not from the earth, but from the 'Father' in Heaven. Do not be fooled by the sort who claim to have found peace, smiling away, not really present moment, like in a trance. Trust me the knowledge of the spirit puts your feet firmly on the ground, because you'll know where you are and why you are here, and most importantly what you are and what you are in. Smiling aimlessly is quite literally the last thing you'd want to do. I'm not saying be humourless and joyless in life, but don't be deceived by a fool, nor become one.
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
'The Gospel of the Kingdom' is not pleasing to those who worship the things of the world, especially to those ensnared by religious and spiritual doctrines. Matters are made even worse when the book that they have stolen is used against them. Christians need to get this plain, they didn't inspire the Bible, no Christian wrote the Bible, and finally, they don't even believe in it, because what it written in it is sealed to them. For damn good reason, 'Ye children of men', who make man their instructors.
Proverbs 15:11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
When one's spiritual perception of the world is fully realised, since it opens by degrees the more you turn to God, then you'll realise that you're in hell, and it will be naked before you. You'll slowly begin to see things clearly, in the spirit, and your understanding will slowly increase in direct proportion to how much of 'God's will' you do on the earth, which Jesus was quietly literally a parable about, even down to his miracles.
Mark 8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: (Why?) and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
The idea of a smiling and dancing Jesus that people see in films is a mythical one, so do not be fooled by man's imagery, and even worse, your own imaginings, for that alone is what stops all people from seeing things clearly in the spirit.
James 3:17-18 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Not the peace of the flesh, but the peace of the spirit, that will stay the hearts and minds of people on the knowledge of the 'Father' since that's what the knowledge given from God does, as he passes on his gift of righteousness.
Psalm 51:9-11 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
The 'Father' reveals his works to you, which helps the mind cease from the heart's works. Does the above say go and visit a man in Church and have him blot out your sins, who only does so because he gets a monthly wage for his job?
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Through what Jesus taught about the spirit, people will need to come to understand what is written in scriptures about the spirit, which aren't not taught plain upon tables, but are sealed with parables, similitudes, proverbs and allegories about the spirit. The old things need to be made new.
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.
This is a long hard read, however, the benefits to a person's understanding will be great in the long run, even if few can see it now.
Matthew 13:14-17 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 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.
That's how well the book has been sealed, and as Jesus said himself, even the prophets couldn't understand, and the words of the Lord came through their very hands.
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.
The reason why the book of revelation is called that in the first place, is because the book needs to be unsealed by revelation, which are given by God, or by Jesus himself. No man of the flesh can reveal that understanding to the mind, which is ruled by the heart that only concerns itself with the things of the flesh. That's why just about everyone who read revelation, seemingly believes it is about destruction of the world. Truth of the matter is, it is about the rebirth of the spirit, since revelation renews the mind, and destroys the works of the devil, that soul in a man. People forget the whole good news thing, because their hearts are evil, and likewise that same evil keeps the spirit in a state of deep sleep that shuts up heaven to them. Thus they have forsaken the 'Gospel of Truth'. So, to speak in a parable about the spirit, there remains a famine in the land.
Revelation 18:14-15 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
We're all rich, puffed up in the pride of our own wisdom, which is foolishness with God, we're like merchants who buy and sell the merchandise of our souls, merchandise which God finds an abomination, because the same wares make the 'Father's House' a 'Den of Thieves'.
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.
To be blunt, the knowledge of man steals away from the mind any knowledge of the spirit, the spirit which in of itself is the 'Father's House'. Again, it's the merchandise of man, that causes us to go running after the things of man.
1 Kings 11:9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
Which is why that number of the beast 'Six hundred and threescore and six', is the number of a man. For that number is about the man 'King Solomon', who was known for his wealth and wisdom, but in his own foolishness turned away from the Lord, because in his own wisdom, he followed after the things his heart lusted after. (Always disappoints people that)
1 Kings 10:14-15 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
So, in a parable, Jesus told a young man who had many possessions, that he couldn't enter into heaven because he valued his own treasure more than the knowledge of the spirit. Treasure that he wasn't willing to give up.
Matthew 19:21-24 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 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.
Now to those of the flesh, reading the above, they would think that giving away their earthly possessions is something that would gain them entry into Heaven, problem is, they haven't given up their earthly way of thinking. They have no knowledge of the spirit to give to those poor in the spirit, thus they have nothing to sell to begin with. Their merchandise is only of the flesh, and about the flesh. They cannot preach the 'Gospel of the Kingdom' because they have yet to receive it. Their earthly way of thinking stops them from receiving it in the first place, because such people can only buy and sell the merchandise of men, rich in their own knowledge and wisdom, quite similar to 'King Solomon'.
Romans 8:3-8 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 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. 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. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Unfortunately, when we're inhabitants of that 'Great City Babylon', which is a mystery to men, then we can only buy and sell the goods that are made in that city, since we will have the 'Mark of the Beast' that allows to to do just that. (An example of bad merchandise, is spreading nonsense about people being microchipped, and telling people that is the mark of the beast) Hint: If it is about the flesh, and you believe it, then you're already marked with that knowledge of the flesh, about the flesh. You've brought into what you've been sold. Simple, isn't it?
Proverbs 28:11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
But it is not so simple to understand for those who the book has been sealed to. For them, the visions of the prophets have not been written 'Plain upon the tables', and thus they cannot run with it, since they can only run after their own private interpretations, or the opinions of other men, who are lost in their own conceit. As Jesus liked to say, 'They have their reward'.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
So, we need to seek another city, where the merchandise is everlasting, and is about the everlasting spirit. The true life.
Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Talking of cities, the burden of Babylon, as with the burden of Egypt, amongst others, is that they are earthly places that have been used as spiritual parables to describe the whole earth and its nations (peoples), and as such, places like Egypt, Sodom and Babylon have been used to describe evil and unrighteousness.
Deuteronomy 4:20 But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, (Where people got their twisted idea of eternal hellfire from) even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
It is necessary, so that through parables, proverbs, allegories and similitudes, spiritual things can be taught and yet at the same time sealed by words pertaining to the flesh, and the things of this world. Also, I might add that, no true prophecy is spoken plainly, they're always sealed up, and can only be made known after the fact. (The job of a Prophet is to seal up knowledge the of the spirit) So, be wary of those who claim predict the future, especially when it comes to the things about this world. Again, remember, even the prophets didn't know that the 'Mystery of God' was woven into that they were writing, because they were the Prophets of the Lord God, and Jesus was the Lord God in the flesh.
Isaiah 7:14-16 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, (Not a virgin in the human sense) and shall call his name Immanuel. (Not literally called, Immanuel) Butter and honey shall he eat, (The Word of God, his 'Father') that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. (So that he'd stop this nonsense; Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil:I the Lord do all these things.)
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. (And those kings are the Lord God, and Jesus Christ, they're both the same spirit)
None knew of the 'Father' until the Lord himself as sign to all humanity, was sent into the flesh by the 'Father' to have his crooked ways made straight. 'Make straight the way of the Lord'. What was the Lord's way before it was straight?
Luke 15:18-19 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
And he came into the flesh as his 'Father's' servant, teaching men about 'The Mystery of the Kingdom' that he had sinned against in Heaven. He no longer desired to choose to do evil, but do good and only good, like his 'Father' in heaven, who is the 'All Good'.
Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
It was the 'Father's' gift of righteousness that had made him straight in his ways. Those revelations, that butter and honey, healed his spirit as he healed the flesh of men.
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.
The problem with people who believe Jesus is God, and even the religious authority of his day, who assumed that he was saying he was their Lord God (He was, being called the King of the Jews was no accident), is that they neither knew of the 'Father', and still till this day don't know him, because their idea of the 'Father' is the Lord God, or Jesus Christ.
John 8:42-47 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 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 because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
They can't even see or hear his words, which is why Jesus asked the above. 'Why do you not understand my speech?'
Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
Knowing the corruption of the hearts of men, if these things were taught plainly, then they would have been destroyed, so, Jesus came into the flesh speaking in parables, much like how he used them in the 'Old Testament' when speaking through his prophets as the Lord God.
Ezekiel 20:49 Then said I, Ah Lord God! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
As it stands, people don't even know what they're reading. Hence that old saying, 'In reading, people cannot read'. And only the 'Holy Spirit' can teach people how to read and understand these things, awaking the spirit in a man from its deep sleep, so that it can perceive the knowledge of the spirit.
Job 32:7-9 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
Keep in mind, that talking and speaking about spiritual things doesn't make a person spiritual. And likewise, the longer a person has studied the Bible the less likely they're to receive the things of the spirit. Mainly, because such tend to be religious, and the 'Kingdom of Heaven' is shut up to that sort, because they unwittingly blaspheme against the 'Word of God' by preaching the doctrines of men.
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.
Again, not a good idea to be a member of a group, especially a group that has history of abusing people. Desire to be a in a group, religion, cult, or anything that harbours a lot of people and abuses them, not only physically but spiritually, then, they'll be treated as such. People should also reconsider the sort of career they have. Again, extorting people in the flesh and in the spirit is not a good idea in the long run.
Matthew 21:31-32 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
But as Jesus said above, about the religious leaders of his day and this day also, even the publicans and harlots go to heaven before them.
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Granted, people maybe rich in the flesh, but in the spirit, that poverty will condemn them. And few can see the bigger picture, and their own road to ruin.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, (those who worship the things of the flesh more than the spirit) nor idolaters, (Those who make things of the flesh their Gods) nor adulterers, (Those who serve the flesh, turning away from God) nor effeminate, (Behaving in a nature contrary to the spirit, incidentally the spirit is both feminine and masculine. Not here to justify ignorant bigotry) nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (Those who are bigots, who abuse not only others, but themselves) Nor thieves (Who claim to serve God, but serve only themselves and their own heart's lusts), nor covetous, (The desire for the fame, power, and glory of men, more than the things of God, which bring glory to the spirit) nor drunkards, (Those whose mind aren't clear, and instead are drunk off their own and others heart's knowledge of good and evil) nor revilers, (People who condemn, mock, and falsely accuse others) nor extortioners, (People who use others for their own gain, in opposition to the Law of God, which is to be your brother's keeper) shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Remember, when the above is perceived through the flesh, then it is about the outside of the cup, but when perceived with the spirit, it is about what's inside of the cup. If people desire to judge after the outward presentation of man though (An example of adultery, ironic isn't it?) then the price will be paid for that by one's own judgement.
Luke 6:35-38 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
People with the knowledge of God (Meaning to say those anointed with his revelations), know exactly why people sin, and as such should be helping people heal their spirits, not further pollute their minds with shame and guilt.
2 Peter 2:18-20 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
Key thing is though, people can't truly forgive others without first understanding the cause of the behaviour of what they're forgiving, so the principal thing is to get understanding, not from men, who are hypocrites when it comes to their own doctrines and morals, but from the 'Father'. Do not forget that other people, and our own hearts are the source of those pollutions of the world.
Matthew 23:24-28 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.(Which means to resist, criticize, or bemoan something minor or inconsequential while ignoring or overlooking something much more serious or important.), Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (People's righteousness needs to exceed theirs, so it about everyone, and not just the scribes and the pharisees) for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Being one with the 'Father' is the relationship one should seek when concerning matters of the spirit. As said, it is a very straight and narrow path. Grasp that, because if you desire to be rich with the knowledge of men, then like Jesus said, it is much easier to thread a camel through an eye of a needle.
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.
Religious and spiritual people are vain, and deceive themselves as well as others with their doctrines and beliefs, which they then go on to try and 'Mark' others with assuming if they decided to buy what they're sold. Again, make not the 'Father's' House' a house of merchandise, since the real treasure comes from the spirit.
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.
While we are conformed to the world, one cannot see or understand the things of the spirit. It is impossible, and the wisdom of the 'Father' will seem foolishness to those of the flesh, which is why confronted with these things, the religious, either shut down, or simply just attack your character, but they never and cannot attack anything that is said. Look in the 'New Testament' where was anything that Jesus said attacked? They attacked the man, but they're incapable of attacking the message, because for the most part, they cannot hear it, nor understand it.
Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
It is sealed to them, because they're ruled by the thoughts and imaginations of their wicked hearts. Even reading the above, they still cannot tell that 'Wicked One' is within them. Because they hate the message, and you can love the man, but hate his message you know. They claim to believe in Jesus, but none do the following.
Matthew 6:1-8 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. (Their ignorance is their reward) 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. 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.
Seldom do I talk about these things in my daily life, because at the end of the day, people aren't here to seek me, they need to seek out the message, which comes from the 'Father'. I'm just about his business.
Luke 21:15-17 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
Wouldn't be the best of ideas to attack the message anyway considering the source. Christians and Muslims especially like buy in the whole being persecuted part, what they forget is, the 'Gospel' isn't about the individual, it is about the message. And when their message is, "Repent sinner, and believe in God or you'll burn for eternity in hellfire and brimstone, then rightly so that they should be attacked, not physically, but their message attacked.
Revelation 9:18-19 By these three was the third part of men killed, (The SPIRIT in a man, not a third of humanity) by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Because their message alone is blasphemy. Because their religions are false, and are floating a sea of perversions which corrupts the knowledge of the spirit. They're the true heretics. They even used to burn women at the stake who sought out the mysteries, after alternative knowledge, and of course the religious being of the flesh, wanted to make the point of torturing the flesh. In these days, they seek to persecute those who do with their flesh with others who are likewise, with consenting adults. Unlike those Nicolaitanes, who wish to do with their flesh what they will with non-consenting children.
Hosea 4:6-9 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 church) As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
The glory of the 'Church' has been brought shame. As promised in the prophecy from above, hidden in the shadows of the 'Old Testament' of the flesh, and brought to light by following the instructions of Jesus which are in the 'New Testament' which is about the spirit.
Leviticus 26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
This is how prophecy works. Talking about the event of the time, pertaining to the things of the flesh, which in the spirit, talks about the future. This how the prophets were used to sealed up the knowledge of the 'Kingdom' and of the spirit.
Psalm 78:1-2 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
There would have been no point in them writing them, if they were not also relevant to the time in which they lived. The religious cannot see those dark sayings of old, because of the 'Letter that kills the truth' The knowledge of the spirit gives life to the letter, magnifying the word, bringing them to light. Restoring the knowledge of the spirit to the minds of men. But people hear, and cannot hear, and see, but cannot perceive.
Isaiah 42:20-22 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
That is the righteousness of the law. So, don't waste time talking to those who will rattle off about what some scripture was talking about, and that you've taken things out of context, blissfully ignoring the instruction to divide the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Any idiot can learn a lesson in history, so, leave them in the pit that they will wish to drag you down in, a pit which they themselves have made for themselves.
Psalm 9:15-17 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
People reap what they sow, and God is not mocked. Corrupt the knowledge of the spirit, even in ignorance, and people themselves will be corrupted, and deceived. Again, as Jesus said, They have their reward.
Matthew 12:31-32 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come .
Meaning to say, the life to come, in the flesh. As said, people have to watch what comes out of their mouths. So, seek him that has the good treasure to give, so that you can sell it, and give to the poor in spirit. Because the bad treasure that comes from the heart, the devil, will condemn all people.
Matthew 12:35-37 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Again, remember what does the condemning, 'Our father the devil', the 'God of this World', the Antichrist, the 'Son of Perdition', the 'Prince of the world', that 'Daughter of Babylon', all these names of the 'Wicked One' that make us all 'Men of Sin', citizens of hell, in this 'Furnace of the Earth', the place of spiritual refinement, the place where all people at their allotted time of the end, are chosen out of the world.
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
But still, remember what does the condemning. Because if people think it is something else, then they'll will be condemned regardless.
1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Jesus overcame 'Wicked One' on the cross, since that 'Prince of the Earth' had nothing in him. His influence was shattered, partly due to him also overcoming the devil's temptations in the wilderness.
John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
That 'Mystery Babylon the Great', 'Mother of all Harlots', and make no mistake, we're the harlots, and she is our mother, causing us all to sin, and receive all her plagues of the earth. She is that law of sin, that wars against our mind.
Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Problem is, people don't see that law, and externalise and personalise 'Satan'. Something, or someone else is always the 'Wicked One', and in that way, the 'Devil' deceives the whole world. Even down to having all people believing that Revelation 12:7-10 some way down below is about a literal war in Heaven. But remember, the Kingdom of Heaven comes not with observation, because it is within, in spirit.
Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
And so with the word of the 'Father' flowing through him, Jesus overcame 'Satan' as he waxed strong in his spirit, and cast his works out of his mind. So like lightning, Jesus beheld 'Satan' fall from Heaven. To make that parable plain, he cast out the works of his own soul, using the 'Word of God', his 'Father.
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, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
For lightning equals knowledge, and the 'Word of God' is quick and powerful, just like lightning.
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.
In fact, the knowledge of the spirit is revealed to the mind in such a fashion, people don't even see it coming. Without that knowledge directly given from God people are not born again. People are not born again of the spirit through the knowledge and wisdom of this world, through flesh and blood.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-13 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Such deceive themselves and others, and are under a strong delusion that makes them believe the lie, because they have let themselves be deceived by men, because that 'Prince of this world' still rules over their minds.
1 John 3:7-9 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 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. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In Jesus, that 'Prince of the world' no longer had anything in him, and so he overcame this world of his. But until that is understood, the violence of 'Satan' and the violent that serve him, will keep people in this world, serving after the lusts of their flesh, aka following after the wisdom of man.
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.
Jesus was made straight in the spirit, and no longer was the 'Kingdom of Heaven' being taken from him with violence, spiritual violence. The same must be done to all of us, so that we may too overcome this world, doing away with the spiritual violence our own hearts afflict our minds with. We also have to behold 'Satan' being cast out of our 'Kingdom' within. So, that we can experience the true 'Sabbath', the peace and rest for our minds, because we have ceased from our own heart's works.
Hebrews 4:4-11 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
This is how we cause 'Babylon' to fall, and then we can see the 'Day of the Lord' since that was a day of rest, and the spirit within, is that 'Kingdom of Heaven' where we rest.
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
It is also why John said, I was in the spirit on the 'Lord's Day', since it is in the spirit where a person receives revelations. As you can read above, a parable for revelations is a trumpet. People are not literally going to hear a trumpet. But they may see a sign of Jonah. (Hint: Two current president's names Trump-Putin). But don't be distracted by earthly happenings. Such things have their course and cannot by any means be changed.
1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Again, the 'Day of the Lord' is in the spirit, a spirit that is at rest, and a spirit that is at rest, has had the works of 'Satan' cast out of their minds.
Luke 10:18-19 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 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. (Spiritually)
Let's put it this way, The Devil's Angels, are our own thoughts of the heart, and those serpents and scorpions will always seek to bite and sting the spirit, if they're not stepped on first.
Isaiah 62:6-7 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
People have to become watchmen, watchmen of their own spirit. Being the keepers of the walls, looking out for the invaders, so that that city isn't taken while they sleep.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Because again, if they invade, they'll be no rest, and that 'Day of the Lord' will a day of darkness. Meaning to say, people's mind will still be asleep. So, people should know that day has already come, in just about all people, because there has been no watchmen on the walls of the spirit, because people have been busy looking for earthly signs, like the moon turning red, and the sun turning black (Which is exactly what I'm talking about here, in an allegory), looking for signs and events of the world, and that sudden destruction has killed and still kills all the knowledge of the spirit within all people. In fact, that destruction has been so sudden, it has come like a thief in the night, and he has spoilt the houses of those that have slumbered.
Psalm 141:3-4 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
That is the war that all must face in their day, close to the individual's end time (People really need to understand that), for that is the 'Great Tribulation', the 'Battle of Armageddon', and those armies which surround Jerusalem (That city of peace) must be made desolate before we can see the 'Lord's Day' and rest in it, ceasing from our own soul's works, destroying the works of the devil.
Matthew 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
But if you cannot see those 'Angel's of Satan', then, they'll over run the mind, and have it follow after its lusts. A prime example of that, is losing one's temper. It's not really as fantastical as the religious like to make people believe, and that certainly disappoints that sort, since the soul still rules and possesses their spirit. Remember, they're servants of the devil, and serve him with their doctrines and traditions that keep the mind on the things of the flesh. The devil is one thing in all people, so don't forget that either.
Ephesians 6:11-13 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.
But the battle isn't against those of the flesh, they're already defeated, and have their reward. It is a spiritual battle, against one's own soul, where not one hair on one's head will perish. As Jesus clearly stated below.
Luke 21:18-20 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
What is Jerusalem a parable of? The Spirit, that 'City of Peace'. The place of the 'Sabbath', where we must cease from our own works. That's how you magnify the 'Law and the Prophets', turning the old wine of the flesh, into the new wine of the spirit. So, to convert what all people see as a literal battle, into the battle of the spirit, one must develop the ability to perceive things with the spirit. Because if that can't be done, then the battle has been lost already, and the 'Day of the Lord' will be a day of darkness. As Jesus said, if you desire the weapons to win that war in Heaven, then people must go to the 'Father' in the spirit and receive his armour, his helmet, his breastplate and his sword.
2 Timothy 4:6-8 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, (His endtime) I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Then people can fight the good fight, near their own time of end, and cast out 'Satan', getting him 'Behind you'.
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.
So, that people no longer savour the things of men, but instead those things of God, as Jesus once chastised Peter for doing.
Luke 22:31-34 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
But Peter had yet to be converted, and 'Satan' still had him, and desired to sifting him like wheat. His heart was still on the things of this world, and he worshipped Jesus more than his message, hence why he was the one to attack the soldier who came to take Jesus after Judas betrayed him. And yet still after he denied he was a disciple of his, three times. So, to be converted Peter had to spiritually win that was against 'Satan' and his Angels, much like Michael did, standing up for children of God's people, mentioned not so far down this time.
Daniel 12:1-4 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 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.
Don't people see, just believing in Jesus is not enough. Because part of preaching the 'Gospel' is casting out the works of 'Satan' into the earth, which is part of the conversion process. And like Michael, people also have to teach people about the 'Fellowship of the Mystery'. The have to pass on their understanding revealed to them by the 'Father'.
Matthew 25:29-30 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
If not, then what they understand will be taken from them, since like that unprofitable servant, they're not selling what they have received from their Lord. Be fruitful and multiply was the instruction, drop the knowledge of the flesh and apply it to the spirit, and then more treasures from Heaven will be given, more understanding, and a purer heart, for sins will be purged and blotted out of it, so that it will no longer condemn the minds of those that run after it.
1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
That great city Babylon will have fallen, and that individual will no longer be its inhabitant.
Romans 5:1 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.
So, a large part of sharing the 'Gospel of the Kingdom' is sharing the knowledge about 'Satan' in this world, knowledge that only the 'Father' can give to the mind to wake it from its slumber. Remember, it is his gift of righteousness that helps us overcome wickedness. Man's righteousness is just that, wickedness and ignorance. These people don't even know what 'Satan' is, because they don't know the wicked thoughts and intentions of men's heart that only God reveals to a man. They're the devil's subjects, being sifted like wheat, and in fact are only mere extensions of his many devices currently, since his will is to keep all people ignorant of his existence.
2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Salvation cannot come to one who is ignorant of their own heart's devices, since all people are deceived by their hearts, the same heart that condemns all people, whose law wars against the law of the mind.
Revelation 12:7-10 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: (Think about it, how can you deceive the whole world, if you're busy fighting in Heaven. As I've said, heaven is within, and he is fighting against your mind, continuously, and his weapon is sin, which causing to do unrighteous works, in thought, word and deed) he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Satan has had us all, since the moment of our birth, since it is his world, and we walk straight into his snare, ready to be raised and educated by the people who are already in captivity. And they can't cast 'Satan' out of our 'Kingdom', they only can only give him more power, to strengthen his hold on the mind, until all knowledge of the spirit is made desolate, and he has made a person's mind his seat, where he declares himself King, much like that great whore who declares herself Queen.
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.
Regardless, the things that are purely about the spirit aren't for those who worship the flesh and the wisdom of man, and neither is the 'Kingdom of Heaven'.
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.
People need to start looking at things in a completely different way, in the way of the spirit, because as said, people take the very image of things when reading the 'Old Testament'
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 words of the 'Old Testament' only speak of the flesh, promising the hope of the future. Unfortunately, since men follow after other men's wisdom, man's hope is in the words of men's wisdom and knowledge, and as such, their righteousness will not exceed that of those that teach them.
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Because to drill this home, those of the flesh can only perceive the knowledge of the flesh, and that knowledge will always work contrary to the spirit. That knowledge of the heart which holds all in this world in 'Satan's' domain.
Jeremiah 34:1 The word which came from unto Jeremiah from the Father, when Babylon, and all her Army, and all her kingdoms of the Earth of her dominion, and all the people fought against the Spirit and the teachings thereof.
The veil is upon the mind of all those in 'Babylon's Army', and it is what makes them members in the first place.
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.
The soul's thoughts (The Army of Babylon) are always fighting against the knowledge of the spirit. The 'Whore of Babylon' metaphorically means our own hearts, and we all drink from her cup, drunken from her wine. To be clear, while the watchman slumbers, the her army invades the land.
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Think about how the below scripture is about being cast out of Heaven, and being cast down to the earth, which the 'Whore of Babylon' rules over.. We are in captivity on this Earth, we eat the fruit of the whore, trading in her merchandise, getting rich off her knowledge of good and evil, reaping what we sow in are garden. We have all unwittingly become her merchants, and she supplies all the goods which we sell for others to eat. Giving power to the beast so to speak.
Jeremiah 29:28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Who did Jesus come to preach deliverance to? The captives, those held in prison here. The prison of our own hearts. That 'Mystery Babylon', which is deceitful and wicked, above all things, who can know of this mystery?
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Sodom, Gomorrah, Egypt and Babylon are where spiritually Jesus was killed. Because Babylon is what rules over the people of the world, and people are the nations it rules over, and that great whore's wine kills all of the knowledge that Jesus taught man, by deceiving the spirit to see things through it, in an earthly fashion. Thus committing spiritual fornication. Again, those of the flesh are obsessed with sexual acts, and thus believe fornication is about homosexuality.
Revelation 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, (Serve Satan) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Fornication means to defile the spirit, and the knowledge of the truth, so, again when people take the very image of things, they will err in their spiritual understanding. And since the whole point of renewing the spirit is to develop an understanding of all things, then such are kind of missing the whole point of the doctrine of forgiveness. Because people don't need man's forgiveness, they need Gods.
2 Peter 2:14-15 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
We all fornicate and commit adultery through our own thoughts and imaginations the hearts, from which our mouth speaks, causing further offense, and defiling our spirit.
Matthew 15:17-20 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.
All the things of the spirit that are unseen are a mystery, and yet people look towards the things that they can hear and see for the 'MYSTERY OF GOD' defeating the whole purpose of making people see the 'Fellowship of the Mystery'. Likewise, all men judge after the flesh, and in turn cannot judge the things of the spirit.
John 8:14-16 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
For the things of the spirit are true and unwavering, and these things are given by the 'Father', whereas the things of the flesh are fleeting and temporal, and given by men. So, to condemn people for eternity for the things that are temporal is kind of illogical, and quite frankly evil.
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:
The things that are hidden in God are revealed by God only, not by men who claim to serve him through some institution of the world, so naturally the FIRST instruction was;
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
I suggest doing that, first and foremost.
