Rodrigo Roa Duterte (Du30) a mayor from the city of Davao and a believer of one God is all that I know of him in person. However, the Spirit would not lie that it would reveal the spirit that is in him (Duterte).
Many among the spiritual community have either tried to endear themselves to him, others have speculated on him and the others have hated him especially the Catholic Bishops (hopefully only some of them).
Many, also, are confuse why he would declare himself as a believer of Allah and at times profess to believe in Jesus. This is proof enough that he indeed is a believer of one God. He believes that Allah and Jesus are one and the same in the Spirit. Yea, you may try to ask him whether he believes in Buddha and he would tell you verily, Yes!
Believe it or not no man on earth is given the power and the authority except it is permitted from above by God. A man may be evil or a man may be good in the sight of men but only God in the Spirit can tell whether he is evil or he is good.
The secret here is the purpose, and the will of God, and the time of God. The time of God may, perhaps, be a time to kill, and to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down. The ultimate purpose, however, is to Create.
Jeremiah 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build and to plant.
Duterte is the hand of God against evil witting or unwitting. This event in our history is no different from the spiritual experience of Israel. Jehu an evil man was anointed to become king of Israel to execute judgment unto the house of king Ahab and to Jezebel his wife being evil.
Jehu was an evil king in the eyes of men even as he is in the eyes of God. Yet, he was chosen to execute the will of God. God even promised to him that his sons would become kings until the fourth generation, which indeed happen. Therefore, there is a will of God which is, shall I put it in my own words, blind to evil and good. Jesus accepted the will of God for him to die on the cross.
Revelations 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
In another case, the Kings of Egypt and Assyria and Philistines and Babylon were used by God to subdue Israel and Judah making them captives because of the evil of their doings.
Amos 9:5 And the Lord of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
Amos 9:6 It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.
Amos 9:7 Are ye not as children of Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Yea, God is doing this to all nations who have forgotten and have forsaken him to worship other gods because all his ways are judgment (Deuteronomy 32:4). This truth is evident unto the works which he did to the seven (7) nations of old and to Sodom and Gomorrah. This truth is evident in the New Testament as he blinded Elymas the sorcerer, killed Ananias and Sapphira, turned king Herod into a beast, and gave Hymenaeus and Alexander to Satan. God has not changed in that He is angry with the wicked everyday. God is angry at sin. God did not change in that He drowned the whole world because of the evil of their imaginations only just as Jesus said, to hate a brother is to be a murderer and to look at a woman with lust is adultery. God looks at the thoughts and imagination of the heart.
Going back, God is using Duterte to perform his will and to do it against all odds. No one man can say that this thing is evil or that thing is bad because there is a Will of God unknown to men. In fact, Pilate was used to give way to the will of God for Jesus to be crucified for this was the plan and the will of God upon Jesus.
Luke 9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
Luke 9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
Now, there are men whom God is using without them knowing just like Judas Iscariot.
One thing is clear in our story about president Duterte he is a man with a mission, and now, by the ways of God he must, however, be made aware of the Manner of God and must have the Fear of the Lord. If there is no one teaching him of the truth in the spirit of Truth it is that we will expect a rough ride in his term, yet, by the Will of God if he will stay then this nation shall rise.
The danger on Duterte is when the time of God will change for there is a time to kill and a time to make alive, a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones, a time to love and a time to hate. Who can tell him this? Verily, he needs a man with the Spirit of God who can tell him of the time of God and the counsel of God and the Judgment of God.
All that Duterte will have to do is to pray to God in the spirit and not to confer with men not even to any pastor, priest, imam, yogi or an enlightened man not filled with the Spirit of God. There is a spirit of man and there is a Spirit of God.
Now, Duterte is not a member of any religious sect or denomination though he believe in one God. Duterte is a servant of God outside of the church of God for all are servants of God.
Psalms 119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
His calling is not spiritual, that is, to serve the living God. He is called to serve the Filipinos only but not toward God in the direct and spiritual terms. Simply put, his calling is not to perfect the saints, to work the ministry of the spirit, and to edify the church of God.
Duterte who believes in one God, but for the lack of knowledge about God, will either make or unmake himself because he will need the Spirit of God to dwell in him for him to be safe always and make right decisions if only to protect the people of the Living God who loves and hails this country.
So to measure Duterte in the Spirit is to see him as unclean and defiled and corrupt for evil communications corrupt good manners; however, according to the will of God he is just right for the moment in our history. God is longsuffering.
Now, one must not expect anything according to the knowledge and standard of good in the eyes of man from Duterte for the president is walking according to what is right in his own eyes. This kind of goodness is relative, hence, the diverse opposition coming from the approximately 18 million people who did not vote for Duterte.
On the contrary, the goodness of God is absolute to them who know and obey and believe.
So we can see that the flesh and the spirit is at enmity with each other even as theocracy can never last or is possible on earth if the people will not become spiritual by cleansing themselves from the filth of flesh and spirit or is mortified of its lust. The truth is because the kingdom of God is not of this earth and because with God the flesh will profit nothing that is temporal from his teachings, and his doctrine, and his commandments.
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.
Therefore, to them who think that they are spiritual, let them pray; for the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man avails much. Duterte is a man with a mission of his own and is not a man of God ordained to execute the mission of God. Duterte is a man of this world. Duterte is a man who believes in God but do not have the faith in God for faith is not the same as belief in God. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Belief is in the domain of the spirit of man but faith is the domain of the holy spirit of God. Pray for him.
Recently, he made the biggest mistake in his life by telling a story that God talked to him and later denied such as if to say there is no God. This attitude is the persona of Pharaoh the king of Egypt in the time of Moses. One time he would admit there is a God and in another moment he would deny God. This country is the spiritual Sodom and Egypt. Pray for Duterte and for this country!

THE DIVISION OF THE CHURCH
Talking about the division of the church of God is hard to believe but it happened of old and is happening even in a deadly rate and proportion nowadays.
Knowing that God is a Spirit one must understand that he is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. In the scriptural version of saying things it goes this way, "God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets" (Hebrews 1:1).
To trace this back to the ancient days we can only remember Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. But to look deeper into the situation of the church we can understand that, early on, a schism evolved since then because of the sinfulness of man. Adam and Eve were cursed, and then, begat Seth who was born after Adam fell from the grace of God and was expelled from Eden. Now, Seth who was righteous begat Enos and it was in the time of Enos that men began to call upon the name of the Lord (Genesis 4:26), and so on, and so forth, until we see Noah finding grace in the sight of God.
However, do not forget that all of them begat sons and daughters other than the ones mentioned. In short the world was populated by these. Imagine, also, the situation that Adam lived for 930 years which goes to say that he lived to see until the time of Methuselah. His sons downline must be hearing how he was expelled by God from the garden of Eden.
Also, it should be surprising to note that Enos the grandson of Adam just began to call upon the name of the Lord from out of the blue which is a feat alien to Adam and Seth at that time, meaning, this suggest a division of the church which was run by the faith of Seth unto God, and the church which was run by the faith of Adam unto God. Taking note also that all of them begat sons and daughters.
Meditating on this epoch it rings a bell that right at those times the church of God was already divided as God would reveal new things unto the children of Adam at their respective generations. The vestiges, however, of God's will for a man to be holy and perfect is that by the time Enoch was born he was translated into heaven like Elijah and Jesus Christ. In the time of Noah all of the children of Adam and Lamech other than sons of Noah and their wives were never spared from the great flood that came. This is a strong biblical proof to the division of the church of old!
As an evidence to the evolution and division of the church of God it is that the laws were also changed from time to time and from one generation to another generation. Adam's laws coming from God on food was simply stated as,
Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
In the time of Noah this commandment on the food was to change saying,
Genesis 9: 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
In much later time, which is in the time of Moses, the food on the moving thing will have to be classified as clean and unclean. All these point to the changes that denote a change in the laws brought about by a man of God and, therefore, simply points to the cause of the division of the church not because of the change of the laws but because man is a laggard to change.
In truth, God only speaks to the man whom He chose to reveal his mysteries which is become the present truth. This is the reason why Jesus was crucified teaching men new things demonstrating the power of the Spirit over the laws written for he is the law himself.
In the final analysis, man is the cause of the division rather than God because of lack of understanding. The spirit of understanding has this to say, God is not the law but he is the law himself!
This means that God can change the laws and this is the indicator of the church with the true God for its laws are made for a man to hearken and to heed so that he may know that he is God who can make man holy and perfect. Secondly, the true church is populated by the saints, the believers, the faithful, the ones with the Fear of the Lord and the Servant or God himself who is a Spirit which dwell in a man.
Given the crack on this thing, it is now easy to understand why there is Islam, and Buddhism, and Hinduism, and Judaism and many more. This is the work of God from ages and ages, and from eons and eons, and from generation to generation.
Man who is fueled with lust, envy, and greed, being carnal, and for reasons of resource hunting are pushed to live separately or, else, if they will have to live together, still in one contiguous land, then there should be a Jacob to bless them with diverse blessings just as what Abraham and God did to Isaac and Ishmael. The case of Jacob and Esau is another case of the division of the church.
It must be recalled and understood that God has fairly warned each tribe not to interfere with one another's business when, for example, Israel with Moses were to conquer the promise land inhabited by a people that God hated because of their abominations.
It must also be clear that if the people today were filled with the Spirit of God then they should have known his will for them to be holy and perfect and there would have been no war and violence on earth. But now we see that man is the root cause of every sorrow and grief and affliction and plagues and sword and famine, which is to say, his sins against God.
God promised peace and unity saying, if a man's ways please God he even makes his enemies at peace with him.
Hear, therefore, the cause of the division of the church of God: people do not have the Spirit of God but rather are unclean filled with all lusts and filth in the flesh and in the spirit.
Moving, forward into the New Testament we can see the church of John the Baptist different from the church of Jesus Christ and later the church of the apostles of Jesus Christ different from the church of Paul who is preaching the gospel of the uncircumcision and the apostles at Jerusalem preaching the gospel of the circumcision. While the men of understanding condescended with Paul on his gospel of the uncircumcision like James, John and Peter it was the Jews who withstood against the teachings of Paul.
To be particular about this, the church of Paul was even infiltrated with dissemblers and false brothers who would lead the faithfuls, even the very elect, in to believing a lie. So Paul said, some preach out of contention, some of envy, and some for filthy lucre.
Today, we can see churches and denominations not being able to agree among themselves of the law or which of the laws written to follow. All of them are living in the old truth and not the present truth.
All these is because they lack the knowledge and do not have the understanding on the scriptures and the power of God. Verily, also, this is because there is no Spirit in them and the proof that they do not have the spirit is the fact that they cannot bear forth the fruit of the spirit which is love. joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
Jesus, therefore, aptly, warned his children since, then, saying, by their fruits ye shall know them.
If all men were only able to understand this very secret or had they met the man with the Spirit of God then they would have long turned their swords into plowshares.
Now, tell me who among them are ministers of the spirit? Know that one can never be a minister of the spirit if one does not have the qualification of being clean, undefiled, unblemished, without blame and without wrinkle and without sin. This, without a doubt, only belongs to God who comes in the flesh.
Look for the church which have the Spirit of God or which is led by the Man of God for many have already come in the name of Jesus and have deceived many in his name _ the name Jesus!
In fact, a prophecy on the schism of the church is prophesied by John in his revelation making mention of the seven (7) churches of Asia:
4Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
11Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Out the seven(7) churches prophesied there is only one that is perfect which is the church in Philadelphia. The rest of the churches have their blemishes which God is against. The prophecy on these churches are as follows: the church at Ephesus is the one that leave their first love of God; The church in Smyrna is populated by the blasphemers and worshippers of Satan; the church in Pergamos holds the doctrine of Balaam (greedy of gain); the church in Thyatira allows the false prophets and the deceivers to seduce the servants of God; the church in Sardis have works which is not perfect; the church in Laodicea is lukewarm, wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked; and the church in Philadelphia is the perfect one which has the keys of David and will be worshipped by them who comes from the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
It is noteworthy that the perfect church is going to be populated by the worshippers of Satan in addition to the perfect inside it. These worshippers are right now being cleansed and purified and sanctified inside the church of Philadelphia. They are the subjects for change.
Deplorably, the change which the Spirit brings is never visible in and among the leaders of the churches that now mushroom everywhere. They are all gone for money or for fame and for preeminence. This is what the atheists are seeing in them. There is no peace and their peace cannot heal but slightly.
It is, therefore, of no great wonder why this world is in great trouble. The Church is divided or there is no church at all that is true. Seek the truth and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened. Ask and it shall be given.
Knowing that God is a Spirit one must understand that he is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. In the scriptural version of saying things it goes this way, "God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets" (Hebrews 1:1).

It is, therefore, of no great wonder why this world is in great trouble. The Church is divided or there is no church at all that is true. Seek the truth and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened. Ask and it shall be given.

PRAYING WITH THE UNDERSTANDING
Many preachers today are teaching the wrong knowledge on God, in short, they are projecting a wrong image of God which is a big lie unto their followers saying, God's answer to prayers are always 'yes' or 'wait'.
The truth, however, says otherwise. This is the reason why many truth seekers are confused. The teachings they preach is not actually happening on the people. There are just prayers that are not answered and the reason is not because God is telling them to wait for the answer.
In reality, however, many people feel that God is not hearing their prayers, and yet, these teachers would simply wrest onto their teachings to making one believe that God has heard their prayers only that they should wait for the answer, they would insist, is yes.
For teaching lies, the fact still remains that people are never satisfied with such an explanation. They find no peace with the god that they are introducing to people.
The truth is that prayers are either heard by God, or denied, or not at all. Prayers can become an abomination to God, prayers can become sin, and there are people who are not able to pray because of the hindrances , and so, there are really prayers that are not heard. There is no such thing as all prayers made unto God are answered by 'yes' only.
To correct this teaching, let us look into the biblical examples comparing the spiritual things with the spiritual experience of old so that a man in this present life will understand the truth whether the words that he hear are biblically, true or not.
Lamentations 3:8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer
Lamentations 3:44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through
The above experience is of Jeremiah which reveals that there are really prayers not heard by God. This is because of sin. King David has this to say,
Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
Lest anyone will say that the God of the Old Testament is not the same as the God of the New Testament in terms of attitude let me, therefore, quote another proof that God is the same yesterday, today and for ever in the words of the apostle James.
James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
How in the world would such a lie proliferate among the so called Christians saying, that all of God's answer to a prayer is yes or wait?
As a matter of fact, king David will refute and king Solomon would affirm that such is a lie, saying, that prayers can even become sin and an abomination to God, respectively. In fact, God can be angry with a prayer made by a people.
Psalms 109:7 When he shall be judged let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
Psalms 80:4 O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
On the contrary, it must be known that there are individuals whose prayers are heard by God and these individuals are being guided by God on what to pray, yea, even led and directed by God in their supplications. These are the intercessors, so called.
Jeremiah 11:14 Therefore pray not for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
Expounding on the words of God, as laid on earlier, the voice of the people is not necessarily the voice of God as we see this from the experiences of Israel in the time of Moses when they asked for water and meat at the wilderness. We also, see this in the time of the prophet Samuel when Israel asked for a king like the nations around them. We can reflect on this on the people of Sodom and Gomorrah whose moral standards have degenerated to the level of Gods' wrath and fury.
Further, to correct the spiritual sight picture of things, that is, on prayer, it must be understood that God is a Spirit and his intent upon men is for them to be saved from this filthy and violent and corrupt world. To do this man has to keep himself unspotted, and clean, without blemish, and without blame, and without wrinkle.
Now, prayer is a guide of any spiritual man on what to do for the day or with the time that is available to him in his life.
•Jeremiah 31:9 they shall come out with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn
Praying for a thing that is not according to the will, purpose, intent, time, and judgment of God is in the words of Soloman a vanity and vexation of the spirit.
Yea, know that if there were people of old who died having not received the promise of God; how much less will petitions be granted comparing it to a promise on them who ask things for their own lust? Know and understand this truth.
Now, know that the scriptures teach us what to pray. Prayers are to be spiritual and not carnal for the material things are an add on matter to the spiritual agenda of God on man. God said, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then, all things shall be added unto you. Moreover, the first commandment is telling us to love God with all our heart, with all our mind, with all our soul, and with all our might. Additionally, he said, if a man would like to be perfect let him deny himself, and carry his cross, and follow me.
So perfection has nothing to do with a man regarding his own desires, will, intent, thoughts, works, and imagination of things. Perfection is spiritual not carnal.
Therefore, prayers are meant for people to ask for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the edification of the church. There is nothing more effective as a prayer which is honed on the spiritual specifically on the will of God.
As an evidence to this let us go into the prayers of the people so as for man to know which is actually an effective prayer.
Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
The truth, however, says otherwise. This is the reason why many truth seekers are confused. The teachings they preach is not actually happening on the people. There are just prayers that are not answered and the reason is not because God is telling them to wait for the answer.
In reality, however, many people feel that God is not hearing their prayers, and yet, these teachers would simply wrest onto their teachings to making one believe that God has heard their prayers only that they should wait for the answer, they would insist, is yes.
For teaching lies, the fact still remains that people are never satisfied with such an explanation. They find no peace with the god that they are introducing to people.
The truth is that prayers are either heard by God, or denied, or not at all. Prayers can become an abomination to God, prayers can become sin, and there are people who are not able to pray because of the hindrances , and so, there are really prayers that are not heard. There is no such thing as all prayers made unto God are answered by 'yes' only.
To correct this teaching, let us look into the biblical examples comparing the spiritual things with the spiritual experience of old so that a man in this present life will understand the truth whether the words that he hear are biblically, true or not.
Lamentations 3:8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer
Lamentations 3:44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through
The above experience is of Jeremiah which reveals that there are really prayers not heard by God. This is because of sin. King David has this to say,
Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
Lest anyone will say that the God of the Old Testament is not the same as the God of the New Testament in terms of attitude let me, therefore, quote another proof that God is the same yesterday, today and for ever in the words of the apostle James.
James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
How in the world would such a lie proliferate among the so called Christians saying, that all of God's answer to a prayer is yes or wait?
As a matter of fact, king David will refute and king Solomon would affirm that such is a lie, saying, that prayers can even become sin and an abomination to God, respectively. In fact, God can be angry with a prayer made by a people.
Psalms 109:7 When he shall be judged let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
Psalms 80:4 O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
On the contrary, it must be known that there are individuals whose prayers are heard by God and these individuals are being guided by God on what to pray, yea, even led and directed by God in their supplications. These are the intercessors, so called.
Jeremiah 11:14 Therefore pray not for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
Expounding on the words of God, as laid on earlier, the voice of the people is not necessarily the voice of God as we see this from the experiences of Israel in the time of Moses when they asked for water and meat at the wilderness. We also, see this in the time of the prophet Samuel when Israel asked for a king like the nations around them. We can reflect on this on the people of Sodom and Gomorrah whose moral standards have degenerated to the level of Gods' wrath and fury.
Further, to correct the spiritual sight picture of things, that is, on prayer, it must be understood that God is a Spirit and his intent upon men is for them to be saved from this filthy and violent and corrupt world. To do this man has to keep himself unspotted, and clean, without blemish, and without blame, and without wrinkle.
Now, prayer is a guide of any spiritual man on what to do for the day or with the time that is available to him in his life.
•Jeremiah 31:9 they shall come out with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn
Praying for a thing that is not according to the will, purpose, intent, time, and judgment of God is in the words of Soloman a vanity and vexation of the spirit.
Yea, know that if there were people of old who died having not received the promise of God; how much less will petitions be granted comparing it to a promise on them who ask things for their own lust? Know and understand this truth.
Now, know that the scriptures teach us what to pray. Prayers are to be spiritual and not carnal for the material things are an add on matter to the spiritual agenda of God on man. God said, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then, all things shall be added unto you. Moreover, the first commandment is telling us to love God with all our heart, with all our mind, with all our soul, and with all our might. Additionally, he said, if a man would like to be perfect let him deny himself, and carry his cross, and follow me.
So perfection has nothing to do with a man regarding his own desires, will, intent, thoughts, works, and imagination of things. Perfection is spiritual not carnal.
Therefore, prayers are meant for people to ask for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the edification of the church. There is nothing more effective as a prayer which is honed on the spiritual specifically on the will of God.
As an evidence to this let us go into the prayers of the people so as for man to know which is actually an effective prayer.
Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for
thee, that thy faith fail not: and when
thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Mark 14:38 Watch ye
and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Acts 8:22 Repent therefore of
this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be
forgiven thee.
2 Corinthians 8:4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive
the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
Philippians 1:9 And this I pray,
that your love may
abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a
servant of Christ, saluteth you, always
labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all
the will of God.
2
Thessalonians 1:11 Wherefore also we
pray always for you, that
our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure
of his goodness, and the work
of faith with power:
All of the prayers of the people of God never reflected any material thing which would relate the things which most people ask today. It should be no great wonder why there are many people who are deceived praying for things which have no connection with the spiritual things that please God at all. Their mentors and teachers are not spiritual but are men whose desires are for money fooling the people around.
The greatest prayer of all is to ask for the Spirit of God and not on the material things.
Acts 8:15 Who, when they were
come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
It is clear that the world is going astray from the truth. There is no one good who is leading men to aspire for the spiritual and ask the spirit for them to be able to sustain them in doing the work of God which end result is the salvation of man.
Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's
desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

UNDERSTANDING THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
Many people have erred for not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. Eclectic reasoning, envy, and lusts have divided and separated the very church of Jesus Christ from among the Christians or so they call themselves to be. This feat is far different from the denominations that existed before time. The ancient church which was ministered by the spiritual men have had sects by virtue of Gods laws which their parents were commanded to obey. The Nazarites for example are different from the Rechabites. The faith of their fathers have defined their very belief on the same one God.
Divided they were perhaps, then, but the Spirit spake to them on who is suppose to be reckoned as the bearer of the truth as God would reveal to and direct them. The division in the church is seen at the early ministries of Jesus and John the Baptist. John the baptist was to reveal the coming of the Messiah Jesus but his doubt keep him and his disciples at bay to come in unity. Two of John's disciples joined Jesus when they heard John saying that he saw the Spirit of God descending upon Jesus after the baptism at Jordan river.
John 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
The latter part of the story reveals that John the baptist doubted on Jesus whether he was really the Messiah. Hence, the division between the church of John the church of Jesus Christ.
Today, however, denominations emerge because of the increase in knowledge which is not according to the Spirit of Truth. This makes things obvious to discern that the causes of the schisms in the church of Jesus Christ are because of doubt, envy, and love for money, to say the least.
In fact, many among these churches are filled with priests, pastors, and teachers whose desire is to be known among their parishioners. They are the modern Diotrephes.
3 John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.
Their fruits reveal their very nature of administration. How can these people minister the spirit having not the Spirit? Truly, I say beware of men like them. Seek the true God. These men do know the Word of God by readings on the Holy Bible and have professed to be ministers of God. Truly, these men are only ministers of the word but never ministers of the Spirit. These are perceived by people to be wise men but in Spirit they are far less than carnal and as natural brute beasts!
Now, the scriptures are written by holy men of God by the inspiration of God being moved by the Holy Ghost and its main purpose is to make the Man of God perfect throughly furnished unto all good works. The scripture is good for to correct men, for to reprove, and for to instruct men in righteousness.
Today, the denominati0ns are using the scriptures as a source of profit and to display their devilish wisdom. All these are happening because of the profane and evil spirit that dwells in them. The devil is in their hearts and reins. It is note worthy that the devil is the god of confusion and not of order. This is the reason why a great many divides have flourished. The effect of this is creating many skeptics, atheists, and agnostics than believers of God.
So the scriptures is for the witness of the new man whose testimony is according to the prophecies written therein. It is about the change of a man who becomes a vessel sanctified and justified by the spirit fit for the use of God in serving him.
This is the reason why the fruit of the spirit is so defined and the fruit of the flesh so explicitly exposed. Man has to change and cleanse himself from the filthiness of flesh and spirit in order to reconcile himself with God to effectively and acceptably serve him.
The cleanness of heart and mind and to stay without spot and without blemish from this world is a requisite to perfection so that, at this stage of spiritual life, man will become a ready living sacrifice toward serving God. But no one is teaching perfection for they would say perfection is impossible to attain. How would they teach it when the parameters and criteria for perfection is not known to them?
Behold, the scriptures say that its parameters for perfection are, among many others: the spirit; the way; the actions; the fruit; the integrity; and the paths.
Isaiah 26:7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
It must be clear now that the reason why the scriptures are not clearly understood by these hypocrites, I mean, the different denominations, is because they do not have the spirit. The mysteries are to be revealed and declared by the servant of God for men to be perfect.
The scriptures are to be spiritually interpreted and exercised by walking in the spirit and by living according to what is written as the way, the truth, and the life in reference to the commands which is being declared by the Man of God.
Reading the scriptures, as we are commanded, require that a man must be clean body, soul, and spirit. Receiving and believing in the name is of course a necessity for how could a man grow in the spirit if he would believe at nothing or no one?
However, it should be borne in mind that the name, in the later part of the growth while being in the Spirit, will tell you that it will only be effective once a man has that spirit dwelling in him. It is no longer the name that matters but the Spirit.
Now, do not make a mistake. This is not to discredit the name of God for again, there is the purpose, the will, the intent, the time, and the judgment of God which divides all of the works which are done under the sun. Meaning, if the will of God is to glorify his name then by all means live by it and use his name in all that you say, do, or think.
So when anyone would like to understand the scripture, first of all, pray that God may give you the quickening spirit, the spirit of faith, and the spirit of wisdom and understanding. Make sure to have a clean heart and mind for he promised to give us the holy spirit if we ask it, yet, only with the clean heart and mind.
One will never need a teacher in the flesh and blood to learn and understand the scriptures for God the Spirit is the best teacher and not man. Now, it will not mean that the Man of God is useless for the best teacher is the Spirit. Know that the Man of God has the Spirit of God, therefore, it will be logical that a man can surely seek the Truth from the Man of God. Honestly, anyone who has no one to guide him in the spiritual being far from the Man of God is never hopeless for God, again, is a Spirit.
To prove this claim, the biblical experience of Paul tells us that he conferred not with flesh and blood in order to get his commission as an apostle of God. The Spirit is everywhere and the man with the clean heart and mind can easily access Him.
Truly, there is no fix pattern for the salvation of man but the Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit, the gift of the Spirit are there to witness for the hope which a man will have in the faith.
Divided they were perhaps, then, but the Spirit spake to them on who is suppose to be reckoned as the bearer of the truth as God would reveal to and direct them. The division in the church is seen at the early ministries of Jesus and John the Baptist. John the baptist was to reveal the coming of the Messiah Jesus but his doubt keep him and his disciples at bay to come in unity. Two of John's disciples joined Jesus when they heard John saying that he saw the Spirit of God descending upon Jesus after the baptism at Jordan river.
Matthew 11:2 Now when John had
heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
Matthew 11:3 And said unto him, art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
Today, however, denominations emerge because of the increase in knowledge which is not according to the Spirit of Truth. This makes things obvious to discern that the causes of the schisms in the church of Jesus Christ are because of doubt, envy, and love for money, to say the least.

in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.
1 Samuel 2:3 Talk no more so
exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a
God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

THE RAPTURE
Rapture is the word that drives many among the Christian world crazy and fanatic. They think that they will be like Enoch, Elijah or Jesus Christ who will go straight up to the heaven caught up in the clouds or chariots of fire.
In fact many have fallen from their faiths already into becoming an atheist because their leaders are promising such an epoch. Rapture is an idea which is imperfectly formulated and understood by men as they read it from the scriptures.
I do not discount the literal possibility of a man being translated into the heavens as the books in the bible would relate to but everyone must understand in the spirit of truth and revelation alone when it comes to dealing with faith. The word has to come from the man with the Spirit of God.
Therefore, it should be clear and obvious at this moment whether who among the present preachers is the true servant of God. I would say, there is hardly anyone among them.
Moving on, rapture is a word hardly understood by any bible scholar or religious luminaries today. They literally took it upon themselves from the scriptures without even investigating how Enoch, Elijah and Jesus were translated into heaven.
First, these three beings were walking with God (Jesus being the Son of God) while on earth, or should I say, were made perfect and have lived a holy life. It is therefore unconscionable to conclude that any among the bible scholars, preachers, and their believers will ever be translated into heaven without being made holy and perfect.
They are neither teaching the doctrine of Godliness at all, nor the everlasting gospel, nor are ministers of the Spirit so as to make their believers acceptable to God as an offering. Worse, they do not have the Spirit of God in them.
Anyone, who attempts to preach the word of God without the Spirit dwelling in him is the devil himself. How can he make any of his minions become holy and perfect being the devil?
Lo and behold, for lack of knowledge of the Holy these people can never ever cast out the devils living inside them which is further manifested by the absence of the fruit of the Spirit.
It is hard for an ordinary Christian to discern these devils for they appear Godly. The twist and the indicator, however, is that they deny the power which makes a man holy and perfect.
These people are proud and are easily filled with envy. They work a work which is for their own bellies. They are hirelings and hypocrites void of understanding the wisdom of God.
Having said that, let me explain the spiritual perspective of holiness and perfection before we will even go into explaining the possibility of a man being translated into the heavens.
Know that not all of the men of God were translated though they have the Spirit in them. See for example the prophet Elisha who was the minister of Elijah. One can glean from the story between Elijah and Elisha where Elijah offered Elisha to ask anything he wants done before he leaves somewhere else. Elisha quipped saying, I want a double portion of your spirit.
Now, Elisha had the double of Elijah's spirit but what happened to him next? Well, he died on earth with a disease and was never translated to heaven despite the double portion of Elijah's spirit. Elijah was taken by the chariots of fire into heaven but Elisha was not.
How, then can these nincompoops know and say that there will be a rapture of the unclean, and the defiled, and corrupt people? Behold, this is totally insane because they are making people to believe a lie and a strong delusion.
What they are telling is just to accept the name of Jesus and then you will be saved. Yea, receiving the name of Jesus is already your ticket to that rapture ride. This is a perversion of the everlasting gospel and of the spirit of truth.
Rapture would rather surely happen in the spiritual understanding in the sense that if a man becomes a new creature all things are become new and the old things are gone. Yea, once a man goes through the process of living a life testimony which is that of Jesus' then this is one step closer to that change which is having a new heart and a new spirit.
Hearing the word of God daily and doing it will effect that much needed change. For, for then, faith will come by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The word of God is never the one that we read in the scriptures but by the voice of the man of God whom God would have washed, sanctified, justified and glorified, which is to say, have made himself a living sacrifice to God without blame, without blemish, without spot and without wrinkle.
This man of God is separate from the world and is holy in all his works. His ways are judgment to correct man from his crooked path and for a man to amend his ways towards the will, intent, purpose, and time of God.
Now, we cannot discount the power of God on rapture but to say that he will consent and condone evil men for that ride to heaven is just simply ridiculous as the whole scriptures, both the old and the new testaments, are even warning everyone concerning those people who cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven like the idolaters, the thieves, the liars, the filthy communicators, the vain babblers, the evil thinkers or men of evil imagination in their hearts, the lascivious, the seducers, the lovers of filthy lucre, the blasphemers, the fearful, the unbelieveing, the abominable, the murderers, the whoremongers, and the sorcerers, among many others.
As a matter of fact, you will know them by their fruits!
Beware, for many among these teachers are seducers and are teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. The word of God in the scriptures becomes the commandments of men when the man using it has not the Spirit of God in him.
This was the very reason why Jesus and Paul were both charged with heresy. It seemed that Jesus was changing the laws of Moses in many ways just like Paul was to the apostles of Jesus, in the law of circumcision: James; John; and Peter, at the first.
This happened also in the old testament in so many instances and in a repeated manner. The law of the Nazarites were broken by Jeremiah, or, so it seemed. The brasen serpent made by Moses himself by breaking the very law of God on the graven and molten images. Jesus, by breaking the law of the prophets saying that there shall be no Canaanite in the house of God with Simon being one of his disciples. King Hezekiah, by breaking to pieces the brasen serpent of Moses in his time. Yea, and there are many more changing of the law thing even as his name was also changed from Jehovah to Jesus.
In the spirit of wisdom and understanding let it be known that God can change the laws which he himself made. This is why anyone can actually know if a man is of God and this is if he changes the laws and yet the result is his children are filled with the wisdom and understanding and are made holy and perfect out of it.
Perfection is not attained if a man will not have the spirit of fear of the Lord for holiness is perfected in the fear of the Lord. So we see Job a perfect and just man who feared God and eschewed evil.
Where is the wisdom of this world on the scriptures? Why lie on the people that the God of the old testament is different from the God of the New Testament? Do not the scriptures say, God is the same yesterday, today, and for ever: God does not change? How the hell did they change the truth into a lie?
God judged of old by uprooting nations out of their land of habitation and killed its own people like Achan, Dathan, Abiram, Koreh and changed Nebuchadnezzar into a beast because of sin. This same feat also happened to Ananias and Sapphira, to Elymass the sorcerer, to Hymenaeus and Alexander, and to Herod who was made like the beast in the new testament.
Obviously, by the lack of knowledge on the scriptures and on the power of God can they tell people that they are in the truth? Would they say, as if they have a sure prophecy, that the rapture they are spreading is the truth?
To toe in to their line of thinking, rapture will only surely happen once a man is changed into a new man body, soul, and spirit. This is the sure prophecy: that man will come into the light out of darkness if he continues to hear the word of God and do good according to the will of God.
Why disregard the truth that man will have to workout his own salvation with fear and trembling and replace it with an innocuous doctrine which will never change someone into a new man? Additionally, know that change will only come forth once there is fear.
Psalms 55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
I have yet so many things to tell but you surely you will not be able to bear it once it is revealed. Suffice it, therefore, for now that you may have time to meditate on these things.
There is a true church which is now purifying and sanctifying its members for the Spirit of God to come and for to dwell in them. This church is teaching the ways of God in holiness and perfection. To look for this church try the spirits in a church whether they are of God for every believer is fairly warned that there will be many false prophets and false teachers in the last days. Beware!
In fact many have fallen from their faiths already into becoming an atheist because their leaders are promising such an epoch. Rapture is an idea which is imperfectly formulated and understood by men as they read it from the scriptures.
I do not discount the literal possibility of a man being translated into the heavens as the books in the bible would relate to but everyone must understand in the spirit of truth and revelation alone when it comes to dealing with faith. The word has to come from the man with the Spirit of God.

What they are telling is just to accept the name of Jesus and then you will be saved. Yea, receiving the name of Jesus is already your ticket to that rapture ride. This is a perversion of the everlasting gospel and of the spirit of truth.
Rapture would rather surely happen in the spiritual understanding in the sense that if a man becomes a new creature all things are become new and the old things are gone. Yea, once a man goes through the process of living a life testimony which is that of Jesus' then this is one step closer to that change which is having a new heart and a new spirit.
Hearing the word of God daily and doing it will effect that much needed change. For, for then, faith will come by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The word of God is never the one that we read in the scriptures but by the voice of the man of God whom God would have washed, sanctified, justified and glorified, which is to say, have made himself a living sacrifice to God without blame, without blemish, without spot and without wrinkle.
This man of God is separate from the world and is holy in all his works. His ways are judgment to correct man from his crooked path and for a man to amend his ways towards the will, intent, purpose, and time of God.
Now, we cannot discount the power of God on rapture but to say that he will consent and condone evil men for that ride to heaven is just simply ridiculous as the whole scriptures, both the old and the new testaments, are even warning everyone concerning those people who cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven like the idolaters, the thieves, the liars, the filthy communicators, the vain babblers, the evil thinkers or men of evil imagination in their hearts, the lascivious, the seducers, the lovers of filthy lucre, the blasphemers, the fearful, the unbelieveing, the abominable, the murderers, the whoremongers, and the sorcerers, among many others.
As a matter of fact, you will know them by their fruits!
Beware, for many among these teachers are seducers and are teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. The word of God in the scriptures becomes the commandments of men when the man using it has not the Spirit of God in him.
This was the very reason why Jesus and Paul were both charged with heresy. It seemed that Jesus was changing the laws of Moses in many ways just like Paul was to the apostles of Jesus, in the law of circumcision: James; John; and Peter, at the first.
This happened also in the old testament in so many instances and in a repeated manner. The law of the Nazarites were broken by Jeremiah, or, so it seemed. The brasen serpent made by Moses himself by breaking the very law of God on the graven and molten images. Jesus, by breaking the law of the prophets saying that there shall be no Canaanite in the house of God with Simon being one of his disciples. King Hezekiah, by breaking to pieces the brasen serpent of Moses in his time. Yea, and there are many more changing of the law thing even as his name was also changed from Jehovah to Jesus.
In the spirit of wisdom and understanding let it be known that God can change the laws which he himself made. This is why anyone can actually know if a man is of God and this is if he changes the laws and yet the result is his children are filled with the wisdom and understanding and are made holy and perfect out of it.
Perfection is not attained if a man will not have the spirit of fear of the Lord for holiness is perfected in the fear of the Lord. So we see Job a perfect and just man who feared God and eschewed evil.
Where is the wisdom of this world on the scriptures? Why lie on the people that the God of the old testament is different from the God of the New Testament? Do not the scriptures say, God is the same yesterday, today, and for ever: God does not change? How the hell did they change the truth into a lie?
God judged of old by uprooting nations out of their land of habitation and killed its own people like Achan, Dathan, Abiram, Koreh and changed Nebuchadnezzar into a beast because of sin. This same feat also happened to Ananias and Sapphira, to Elymass the sorcerer, to Hymenaeus and Alexander, and to Herod who was made like the beast in the new testament.
Obviously, by the lack of knowledge on the scriptures and on the power of God can they tell people that they are in the truth? Would they say, as if they have a sure prophecy, that the rapture they are spreading is the truth?
To toe in to their line of thinking, rapture will only surely happen once a man is changed into a new man body, soul, and spirit. This is the sure prophecy: that man will come into the light out of darkness if he continues to hear the word of God and do good according to the will of God.
Why disregard the truth that man will have to workout his own salvation with fear and trembling and replace it with an innocuous doctrine which will never change someone into a new man? Additionally, know that change will only come forth once there is fear.
Psalms 55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
I have yet so many things to tell but you surely you will not be able to bear it once it is revealed. Suffice it, therefore, for now that you may have time to meditate on these things.
There is a true church which is now purifying and sanctifying its members for the Spirit of God to come and for to dwell in them. This church is teaching the ways of God in holiness and perfection. To look for this church try the spirits in a church whether they are of God for every believer is fairly warned that there will be many false prophets and false teachers in the last days. Beware!
