Correction
Something which I'm doing with this site since I've finally managed to get 'Grammarly' working. With that said, I've no desire to create a literary masterpiece and these things aren't for those who desire the praise of men or believe that their wicked heart's praise and respect is of any worth.
2 Timothy 3:1-14 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (You know, how being called a 'Do-gooder' is now an insult.) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.
Such people as mentioned above are vain and full of deceit, their blind minds full of their heart's corruption, always questioning, always criticizing, and ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, while believing themselves apt to teach others about it.
Romans 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
In an era of people supposedly being awake to the world's ways, people remain asleep as ever to them. People are still blinded by the earthly doctrines, traditions, fantasies, and the wisdom of men, not knowing that all these things come from the soul that they know nothing about, but serve none-the-less, because they think it is good for food. Much like that tree of knowledge of good and evil, whose wisdom and knowledge perverts all people. The following is about the 'Daughter of Babylon,' which is a similitude for the Heart, the Devil, Satan, the Son of Perdition, the Wicked One, Serpent, Scorpion, Prince of the Power of the Air, God of this World, Whore of Babylon, Mother of Harlots, Soul, Leviathan and 'Mystery Babylon the Great.
Isaiah 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. (Here I am showing you the nature of the soul so that you can see it) Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
What is worse still, people end up serving the souls of others in their blindness, being made merchandise of, buying, and selling the wisdom of men.
Revelation 18:1-5 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 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. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
It is that which we need to come out of, so we stop receiving the plagues of the heart, on which we're currently experiencing something akin to a drunken slumber.
2 Peter 2:2-3 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
And in the age of the internet, people have increased in knowledge, and because of the soul's memories storing up information and knowledge that comes from the many devices of the world, the soul then throws back that same knowledge to the mind, which then hinders any potential of learning anything new outside of the soul's framework, outside of the beliefs they've assimilated into their personality, and outside of what now obsesses them. Ultimately, their own mind's control has been lost because of the world's wisdom which clouds out any understanding of the spirit. (Don't understand? Recall an argument that you've had with someone, and they just keep repeating themselves, normally saying the same two or three words over and over in response to whatever you say. In the last one I had, the person kept repeating the words "And what, and what, and what" It was quite strange, and then I just put my headphones on.) The moral of that story, don't waste your time arguing and debating with people, the brain is not working at optimum levels for starters, and secondly, such people are emotionally immature. There's a reason most criminals are under 25 because the brain doesn't fully develop until after that point in most people. Of course, substance abuse and alcohol abuse will retard that development, not to mention growing up in an abusive environment, and this includes the type of music and TV shows people watch. As I keep saying, culture has the word 'cult' in it for a reason.
Jeremiah 7:11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.
Basically, people end up in a mental and emotional prison of their own making when they're not keeping watch of what enters their mind. Indeed, the thieves and robbers have ended up spoiling the house, and it needs to be cleaned and restored. What I talk of here is the knowledge of the mind, about the mind (spirit).
Isaiah 42:22 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.
The world's pestilence (knowledge and wisdom) leaves a famine in the land (spirit) since that famine is about the lack of knowledge about the spirit, from the spirit. An example of which, is earthly thinking among people who believe that the famine talked of in the scriptures are about a famine of the flesh. Even though the word was made flesh through Jesus Christ, doesn't mean the word is about the flesh. Remember, God is the imperishable mind from which all things came, who has no beginning nor no end. Foolish questions about who created God come from the limited understanding of the flesh, in which all people believe all things were created, even a God they know nothing about. A God who they have restricted to their own limited human understanding.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
It is key that this is understood in full, otherwise again, that lack of understanding of the spirit is the real famine spoken of below, in a parable.
1 Kings 8:37-39 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;).
People certainly aren't asking the 'Father' in the spirit to remove temptation (Those plagues of the heart) from themselves.
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mainly because they're busy praying with their mouths or listening to other people's prayers. They seek the inspiration of men more than God himself, even worse, they think their own words lead men to God.
Matthew 6:6-8 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; (If anyone can hear your prayer, including yourself, you are doing it wrong. Like 'Revelation' prayer should be silent and instant, however, it takes a lot of practice to learn how to do it instantly. It is very much like learning a new language, only this is of the mind, way beyond the thoughts of the soul, since shutting the door should put a stop to those thoughts) and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
They're not in their own closet, and they're not shutting the door to their heart's works, because they're busy worshipping the thoughts of their own heart, which they themselves worship as God. That is what people are praying to, not asking for the things of the spirit, but of the flesh.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
It shouldn't take a genius to work out that you pray to God in the same way he communicates.`
John 2:24-25 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
Yes, it is quite literally 'Satan' that is in all men.
Proverbs 16:5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Many religious people in their prayer groups are busy holding hands, listening to some self-elected servant of God's long-winded and obnoxious demands of the flesh, treating 'God' as some servant to order about so that he does their own bidding, completely missing the point and treating him as a convenient tool to be used. That is the arrogance of man, thinking that they speak for God, setting up whole religions in the name of their God, and worst still, judging other men based on their own knowledge of God.
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.
God is a spirit, who has no respect for persons, so that means he is judging no one of the flesh, nor exalting them. What God seeks, are those who wish to be corrected in the spirit with his truth and not the truth that is of this world, a truth that comes out of the mouths of persons.
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.
God must be worshipped quite literally in the spirit. The Lord's day is the sabbath, and sabbath means peace/rest, so to be in God's day of rest, one must be in the spirit, ceasing from the world's and the heart's works.
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.
Get it, see the parables? The light shining through the words of the 'Old Testament', the 'Law and the Prophets'.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, (People make the mistake that they have to prove things to others. You do not since none overcome the world through the works of another) and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
If that is not done, the mind cannot be renewed, and it will remain dead, conformed to the world. It is as plain as that.
Proverbs 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Like all things, the spirit needs to be exercised so that it can wax stronger so that those walls become impenetrable.
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
People's own souls now possess them, and thus the souls of others can easily influence them as well. Spiritually speaking in parables, they don't see the armies surrounding their city, and those armies (The thoughts and intentions of the heart) end up conquering that city. Again, all parables are about the mind, 'The City of Peace', the spirit, which is what Jerusalem alludes to.
Luke 21:19-20 In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Much like an algorithm, the soul presents its imagery to the mind to think about. The more addicted the mind is to the imagery, the more of the same imagery (thoughts and feelings) that are presented to the mind to react to. This is how habits, attitudes, and interests are developed, and such interests can be manipulated by outside forces, specifically via the hearts of others, which again works through all things.
Isaiah 65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts.
This is one of the reasons why we have the attitudes of the Left, the Right, Feminists, Racists, Democrats, Republicans, Fascists, Liberals, Marxists, Capitalists, and Nationalists, etc. Running to and fro in the world spreading the 'Soul's' knowledge of 'Good and Evil'. We have all allowed the merchandise of the world to crystallize our attitudes and opinions of it, of which we defend to the bitter end marked in the mind as a merchant.
Ecclesiastes 1:17-18 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Nothing new can enter into such a person's mind and nothing new is learned because such people are ruled by their hearts. Sorrow is what they have learned and woe is what they spread. So, naturally the 'Good News' the 'Gospel of the Kingdom' cannot be accepted by such people, since they cannot grasp the knowledge of the spirit, and can only accept the knowledge of the world which is born through their hearts.
Luke 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
The sad fact is, that as knowledge has increased in the world, especially with the advent of the internet, more woe has been spread into the world, and thus the state of the human consciousness has become even more corrupt. This is why we tend to elect fools as leaders in this era, for they reflect the people who elect them. As written, the third woe comes quickly, like high-speed internet.
Revelation 11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
Because of the vast knowledge and information spread on the internet, people remain as dead as ever, grossly overestimating their capabilities, assuming that just because they have read something, they're now experts in what they have read, and spread that knowledge as some sort of truth, and it is a truth they'll defend at any cost, despite the fact it is not something they have 'worked out' themselves. Meaning to say, it is not their own knowledge they're sharing, but instead are living through another person's experiences.
Mark 3:5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
We call this the 'Hardening of the Heart' or as I like to call it, 'Stiff-Necked'. Seemingly, it was a trait in a man that angered even Jesus. They're the type of people who work with a withered hand, which needs to be made whole so that the knowledge they spread with their hands is whole and not full of holes.
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Such people like to spread conspiracies, like the word 'Corona Virus' spelling out 666 in the English alphabet, which is a clever little game to distract the mind from what 666 really means (The Wisdom of Man). They're combative and contentious in nature, professing themselves to be researchers of the truth and yet perhaps are the most gullible people to ever have walked the earth. In all that, they are dangerous, because they also desire to make merchandise of people.
Deuteronomy 32:20-22 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
Antisemitism isn't far behind such people, and it's no coincidence that instances of that all around the world have increased with the rise of 'Conspiracy Theorists' Also, read the above and grasp that the 'Earth' is 'Hell'.
Job 26:5-7 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, (The universe) and hangeth the earth upon nothing. (Space).
That knowledge is covered to people, a secret of such, and few assume they're in the world of the dead, that dwells in the midst of the 'Bottomless Pit'.
Proverbs 3:32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
They're a froward people (Contrary, difficult to deal with) and the truth will be kept far from them, and instead, they'll follow after fairy tales and fables, carefully crafted by men for their own deception. They scream freedom of speech and mewl about being censored and yet it is going to be they who will rob people of it because they lack the 'Freedom of Thought' to carefully consider the nonsense they spread as 'Truth'.
2 Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Is the 'Corona Virus' a man, or does it have wisdom? Again, foolish fables will blind your mind. Conspiracy theorists will point out some patents of 'Bill Gates' and the 'Covid 19' virus which contains the numbers 666 in it as well as proof of some future vaccine with microchips in it. (If that technology existed it could be done using just the food that people eat, or simply put in vaccines that are currently in the world.).
Isaiah 33:18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
Amusingly, the same conspiracy theorists will fail to believe the above scripture is about 9/11 and the 'War on Terror'. Regardless, the plans of men are just that, the plans of men, and the same men are equally unaware that they're cogs in an even greater machine, no matter how vast their wealth is. Much like King Solomon was himself.
Matthew 5:34-35 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
The 'Plan of God', well 'footstools' and all that, since all things are predestined, even if that little prophecy above about a certain world-changing event didn't give that away.
Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.
Regardless, the number of the beast is about 'King Solomon' who was a man who thought his own wealth in money and his own wisdom was greater than his God's and lost his 'Kingdom' in his foolishness, much like those 'foolish' conspiracy theorists, who at the moment are the greatest enemies to the truth, even above the religious.
1 Kings 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon (Who was known for his wisdom) in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.
Incidentally, the best way to take down a conspiracy theory is to set up another conspiracy on the same topic so ridiculous, that it is easily debunked and then the original conspiracy will become just as foolish in a typical person's mind.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Think not of the flesh, but think of how an evil spirit is cast out of a man, so that it can be witnessed. And how do you do that, by following and applying what Christ taught).
This is how to keep people away from the real truth, and have them follow after the 'Wisdom of Men'. 95% of conspiracy theories floating around on the internet are for that very purpose, hence why the average fool can discover some so-called clandestine agenda with ease. Conspiracy theories seem very prolific on the internet after 9/11, have you ever asked yourselves, why? Again, the deceiver who works through all people deceives the whole world, and they'll be no truth found in it. When Satan is cast out of the mind and seen for what it is, it can deceive no longer. But as said below, 'Who can know it?'
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Satan's angels, of course, would be the thoughts and intentions of a man's heart. Whether that heart is mine, Donald Trump's, Bill Gates, or yours. We're all victims, free or bond, and the goal of all of us is to overcome it, just like how Jesus did in the wilderness.
Revelation 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
We have to take him out the way, in short, cast him out of us so that he influences us no longer, and so that its knowledge and wisdom of the world cease from marking our minds. And we can be marked in many ways, whether that be reading something in our hands, or thinking about what someone has said within our foreheads. Earthly thinking has people believing something is literally going to physically 'mark' us. Fact is, it is our spirit that needs to be freed, and it is our spirit that is marked by earthly wisdom that keeps it blind, snared, and enslaved.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.
That's the real invisible enemy, the 'Mystery of Iniquity' that is already at work in all people, and what is the 'Wicked One' that is being revealed?
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.
The 'Soul in a Man' from where a man gets all of his 'Wisdom', the same wisdom that keeps people walking the course of the world that they're supposed to overcome.
2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
A soul (devil) that counterfeit spirit that desires all people follows its ideas and opinions of the world, for that is the purpose of its design, to keep people hooked on its devices, eating from its tree, beguiling minds like it beguiled 'Eve'.
John 8:42-45 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:(Understand, not the human love which people are addicted to) 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.
It is the 'Soul in a man' who mankind has made its father, and it is that whose lusts people run after. Again, people taking an earthly interpretation of the above has led to people's justification for their antisemitism for example. They cannot hear the word because they are blind to the spirit, and so again, can only see things in an earthly fashion, and thus remain blind.
Proverbs 19:21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
When you're in opposition to something of the flesh, you are still merely serving the flesh, and if you haven't noticed, such people are never at peace. There's always another cause, another set of people to fight against. This is what happens when the 'Wicked One' within all people is driving all people to their inevitable deaths, and then they have to do it all over again.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
It desires that all people keep eating from its tree, walking after the flesh, that great Leviathan that dwells in the midst of the sea.
Romans 8:4-6 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.
The knowledge of the spirit is for everyone, no exceptions, and that is what brings peace for all, since that peace is not of this world, and the true-life is not of this world.
1 John 2:14-16 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
There's nothing heavenly about politics, and there's nothing spiritual about any doctrine on the earth, regardless of how righteous people may believe the cause that they're fighting for is. Again, God is no respecter of persons. Though many think they're like Morpheus out of the Matrix, trying to wake people up to the reality around them. The truth is, they're more like Agent Smith further blinding and binding men to the ways of the world.
Ephesians 6:5-10 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
The minute you go out to a crowd to hear a man speak, or go out to vote for a man, you're having the respect of persons, and thus according to the 'Law and the Prophets' you are sinning, so that's just about everyone on the planet, who are all focused on the flesh.
1 Corinthians 3:19-21 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours.
To be clear again, your spiritual redemption does not come through any man of the flesh, especially through those who set themselves up as servants of God.
James 2:8-10 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
It is the 'Holy Spirit' that teaches and brings things into people's remembrance and no one else.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Emphasis on the word 'HE'. People do not have the 'Holy Spirit' flowing through them, since it is his word that teaches and anoints the minds of men.
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.
The 'Holy Spirit' reminds people about what Jesus really taught about the spirit, in short, testifies about him. He is you could say, a correctional mechanism sent into this world.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.
He is not some secret power that people wield to use against others out of their 'Soul's' vindictiveness.
John 14:16-21 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
And he's certainly no 'tool' of men, especially since he can't be received by the world.
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.
A certain type of person especially likes to condemn others using the 'Holy Spirit' with this quote coming up; which ironically ends up with them condemning themselves. You cannot condemn people with good treasure, so don't turn that which is good into a tool for your own vengeance, you'll only be harming yourselves.
Matthew 12:31-32 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: (Does that sound like eternal damnation to you?) 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.
Which means this life, and the life to come afterward, after all, they'll be facing the second death. In short, the 'Gospel of the Kingdom' will be kept from them, and so their stay in the flesh is prolonged by one extra lifetime, their banishment from 'The Kingdom' extended.
Proverbs 3:11-14 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
Ultimately, It is for their own correction, for that is what this world is about, making people straight with that fine merchandise of truth.
Habakkuk 1:12 Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
Those go speak against the 'Holy Spirit' merely get in the road, so they'll be removed far out of it.
Proverbs 15:10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
And don't forget that damnation means to 'Pay a penalty' in this place of correction.
2 Samuel 14:14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
Harsh, but Jesus did say to fear him who destroys the body and soul, but not those who can only destroy the body.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
The body can be killed by those of the flesh, but the soul is killed by the knowledge of the spirit, that 'Word of God', and the soul being killed is not a bad thing, since that would free the spirit.
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.
Remember, it is the 'Word of God' that divides asunder the spirit from the soul and the flesh. So, naturally, the 'Word of God' is the 'Holy Spirit. Read the above again, that 'Word of God' is more powerful than any sword of the flesh, no matter how sharp. It even pierces through things that are unseen and unknown to man.
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.
Remember that, because the knowledge of the spirit is the true 'Rod of Correction' which destroys the works of the devil, and what is the 'Rod of Correction'? The 'Word of God'.
Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Some people have used the above as an excuse to beat their own little children, and certain cultures are worse for that than others, and the results of that can be seen in their offspring, especially amongst 'Urban' cultures' who tend to have a heavily religious background. (Think nations with high murder rates, and their music is a good example of the state of mind such people have. It is also a good example of the merchandise that people buy, and then are marked by, and then sell to others.).
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
It's not a coincidence that people in these areas have less forgiving attitudes which leads to them quickly angering and then killing their peers for petty reasons, like being disrespected. If people want to matter, then people need to see above it and buy that gold tried in the fire of the earth, then they'll be given the word also, that they too may heal the spirit of men, using the true 'Rod of Correction'.
Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
The true 'Rod' is the 'Gospel of the Kingdom', which helps connect and then correct the spirit onto the path of righteousness, which is that path of eternal life. Violence against people cannot and won't ever achieve that aim.
Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (Remember, that the 'Word of God' is supposed to 'Comfort' people.).
Again, this is a good example of the corruption that happens to the mind of men when people take an earthly interpretation of scripture, which is why the instruction to 'Overcome the World' is paramount to grasp.
Revelation 2:26-28 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. (Meaning to say, the 'Father' gave Jesus knowledge of the 'Kingdom' he will also give you) And I will give him the morning star.
The role of the 'Morning Star' is to spread the 'Knowledge of the Kingdom, and as said above, it would be nice if people sang the same song together.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
But first, people must learn it, few there be that do.
Revelation 14:2-3 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, (The Four Gospels) and the elders: (The 24 books of the Jewish Old Testament) and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, (Since those that can't learn to take an earthly interpretation of those books) which were redeemed from the earth.
Finally, as stated above, it is not possible to discern the knowledge of the spirit via one's own fleshly interpretation.
2 Peter 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (That's the Morning Star that has to be given so that you can sing that song of miracles) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Because first the 'Spirit and Soul' must be divided asunder, so that the spirit is free to perceive the things of the spirit unencumbered by the dictates of the soul.
2 Corinthians 3:14-16 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
Remember, there's a veil upon the mind of those that read the 'Old Testament'.
Deuteronomy 28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
The above is a quick example, think of Satan and his minions, his thoughts of unrighteousness that plague our minds with its wicked imaginings, as we try and attain peace in our own 'Kingdom', our spirit within. Constantly the soul's works want to pull our walls down and breakthrough our strongholds. And it made, even more, easier when our watchmen are asleep on those walls. This is an example of a similitude, an allegory, and a proverb. Do not let the letter kill the truth, and take the above as written, in its very image.
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.
Biblical scholars will lead you astray, since they only have the 'Spirit of the World' and thus can only talk about it. It's history, and what was said and meant according to the times it was written. In short, speaking of earthly events. People forget the whole 'Mystery of God' thing.
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.
The spirit cannot be made perfect by the things of the flesh.
Luke 8:10-12 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
The 'Word of God' cuts through these things and enables you to 'perceive' spiritually the things of the spirit. The heart in a man will take that same knowledge away from people if they're not keeping watch with their spirit.
Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
But keep in mind, like a seed, the 'Word of God' in a person takes time to grow, it cannot be understood outright, but neither does it go void.
Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. (Unlike that rich man, which refused to give up his possessions, meaning to say his own knowledge, his own 'Wisdom of the World').
The 'Father' needs to water the mind so that it can grow, and our many experiences in the flesh help correct us to the point so that his word can grow within us after we have found that treasure that has been sown within us.
Colossians 1:5-6 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth.
After all, people have to have heard the 'Gospel of the Kingdom' before, and it is the 'Revelations' given from the 'Father' that removes the veil to one's understanding of the scriptures and ultimately the world.
1 Corinthians 2:12-15 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Only then can the Bible be used correctly for one's own correction.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
