SPIRIT AT WORK

Revelation is given by God to the Holy People (Apostles and Prophets) by the Spirit.  The eligible recipients or stewards of the revelation and the mysteries of God for the generation of the righteous are only the holy ones, hence, the command for people to be holy. 

The revelation we know from Ephesians 3:1-7 is that salvation is no longer exclusive to Israel in the flesh but to Israel who are circumcised in the heart or Israel in the Spirit.  Simply put, Israel is in the Spirit and not in the Flesh! To be an Israelite is not to be a Greek or a Jew.  This idea is not a new one in the times of the apostles, then.

Matter of fact, God has been talking to all men and peoples and nations!  God talked with Adam and his generations (all of them were drowned for the evil of their imagination_ a chosen people who went corrupt, violent and evil).  God talked with Noah and his generations.

Genesis 10:5     By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

Again, God talked to Melchisedech who was not of the seed.  God talked to Abimelech of Gerar who was not of the seed. God talked with Abraham giving a promise that the seed will come from his own bowels named Isaac and then went on to talk to Rebekah who was a Syrian, not of the seed and mother to Jacob and Esau, that Jacob is the seed and not Esau. God talked to Israel who sojourned in Egypt for 430 years and the same seed multiplied in Egypt as prophesied.  God talked to Pharaoh of Egypt in the time of Joseph by a dream who was not of the seed. God talked (prophesied) against the sons of Noah the Canaanites of the sons of Ham that they will be replenished by Israel. 

Yea, by biblical history the idea of gentiles being subjected to the judgment of God is not new.  In fact, these gentiles were turned into believers before if to cite one of the many facts!

2 Chronicles 17:11    Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.

You can only imagine how Paul struggled to witness on this revelation which has actually happened already, and as written, where Israel turned dogmatic of their belief that they are the only people on earth loved by God.  They failed to recognize that God loved the world even as Abraham failed to discern that Gerar under king Abimelech is a nation with the Fear of the Lord.

Now, know that the love of God is manifested by his judgment to all:

Deuteronomy 8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

Proverbs 13:24  He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Hebrews 12:6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Hebrews 12:7  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

It is now clear that, really before Jesus was crucified, the love of God is unto all men!  What then is new? 

In matters of ways of saving people, God sent Noah to preach righteousness but was ignored, hence, the unbelievers were drowned to include the infants which you may now protest, had the flood happen today, as an ungodly act for Noah.  Know that Noah did not act by his own will but by the command of God.

2 Peter 2:5      And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

God also sent (divine providence or a blessing in disguise we may now call) Lot the nephew of Abraham to Sodom and Gomorrah to preach righteousness there but was not able to convince anyone, not even the husbands of his daughters.  Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring cities were burned on the day appointed.

Luke 17:28    Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

Luke 17:29    But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

2 Peter 2:7      And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

God called and sent Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt and the very people whom he saved were eventually wasted in the desolate wilderness after 38 years of hard heartedness and rebellion against Moses and against God.

God chose and sent Joshua to continue the task to fulfil the promise of God to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in order to annihilate seven abominable nations but the people who were with Joshua were also tempted in the way as they were ensnared by the foolish prophet Balaam in the plains of Moab (Zimri and Cozbi being the  cause of the plague).

Up until the times of the Judges God raised up servants to save Israel from their enemies everytime they repent from their sins which they committed.  In sinfulness they were minished and brought low.

Psalms 107:39  Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

Judges 2:13  And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

Judges 2:14  And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

Judges 2:15  Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

Judges 2:16  Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

Judges 2:17  And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

Judges 2:18 And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

Judges 2:19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

Judges 2:20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

God sent prophets in the times of the Kings of Israel and Judah but the same were imprisoned and persecuted and killed.  The people of God are the most controversial and misunderstood people in the world of old and expectedly today for their teaching is never of men.

Know that the prophets sent were not only exclusive to Israel but to the other nations as well!  The Gentile thing is not a new thing.  The people who profess to be wise were actually the fools for not knowing the ways of God and having not the Spirit of wisdom and understanding.

Now, is the idea of Jesus dying for the world a new one? Fools for lack of knowledge perish.  Now, is the idea of God being angry at sin a new one?  Was there a paradigm shift to the ways of God in that believing in him is salvation? 

In a way, believing is a vital point in salvation but it is not salvation itself.  One has to endure and continue to obey the command which commands are changing from time to time and from one nation to another people. 

God is alive and God is sending his holy people to bring the good tidings to a thousand generations and in every generation there is a definite peculiar people who will be sanctified and justified and then sent to preach unto the world. 

So holiness and perfection is the key to serving God which is in ministering the word and the spirit.  How can the scholars nowadays say holiness and perfection is passe?

How can people say, straining gnats and swallowing camels on the requirement in serving God which is holiness and perfection?  How can an unholy people receive the Spirit of God like the Spirit of Truth and Revelation which alone can perfect a man?

Behold, perfection and holiness is possible only when God is come in the flesh or when he raises up a man to deliver people from this evil and wicked world.  Perfection is possible because the man he will send is going to declare the command for man to obey to become holy and perfect.  Perfection and holiness becomes impossible only when man is yet filled with his flesh lust, emotion, evil imagination and uncleanness in the flesh and the spirit.

Therefore, man has to fight against his own self which is the natural enemy of God, saying, the flesh is against the spirit and the spirit is against the flesh.  These two are at enmity against each other.  This doctrine is not being taught to the people which is the doctrine of Godliness, that is, man must be holy and perfect before they are to be sent for the service.    

This world should know that salvation is but a very light thing with God for, firstly, this is only a result of serving God and, secondly,  salvation is granted to men according to God’s mercy and compassion for we are all sinners and, thirdly, because salvation is the concern of God and not man’s.  The real concern of man is really on how to make himself available for use by God.    Therefore, the very much weightier matter is perfection and holiness for this is the crux of man’s service to God.  Cunningly, the deceivers of this world romanticize salvation as the ultimate and primary goal of man in this world! 

How can man teach people of salvation when man is not perfect? How can man be an author of his salvation being not perfect? Remember, the Man of God or the ones raised by God to be his servant(s) will come in a volume of Book and it is written of them  for a testimony!  The reason why you can compare spiritual with spiritual because the life they will manifest is a prophecy in the Holy Bible.

Hebrews 5:9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

To magnify the error of the present day interpretation on the scriptures is to compare side by side the teaching on salvation with the teaching on perfection and holiness, among others:

Table 1 – 1 Quick look Table

The One Teaching of Salvation	The One Teaching of Godliness (Perfection & Holiness)
Prosperity	Fear of the Lord
Great Commission	Sanctification and justification as a requirement to the Great Commission
Purpose Driven Life	The Plan of God to Replenish the World with his holy people
Rapture	Creation of Man: Change / New Man / Rapture
	Suffering in Well-doing
Love of God without the Fear of the Lord	Judgment of God unto his People & Righteousness unto the world
	Growth of a Christian / Process: Born Again, Born of Water and Spirit and Born of God
	Love of God is equal to Fear of God
Salvation not of Works	Ways and Works and Acts of God
	Manner of God
Love thy Neighbor	Love of God is equal to the Fear of God: Loving the Neighbor is subject to the Puprose, Will, Intent, Time, Counsel, & Pleasure of God
Eternal Life upon belief in Christ	Eternal Life a Process which starts in belief in Christ
Holy Spirit	Spirits (of God, of Man, Holy & Profane, Good and Evil)
	Revelation and Mystery of God
Grace through Faith Not of works	Not of Works because the Work is of the Spirit of Grace through the Spirit of Faith: Working your own salvation by the Spirit
No Prophets in the church	The Complete Church: Prophet is needed
Jesus as Written in the Law (Antichrist Teaching)	Jesus the Risen and is Come Again (Present Truth)
	Perfection and Holiness
New Testament Heavy	The Old and the New Testament (Full Gospel)
Faith (Written Based / Reason Based)	Faith (Heard from the Man of God / Revelation Based)
Self	Denial of Self
Abundance out of Covetousness	Flesh Profits Nothing: Abundance out of Bounty
The Name of Jesus (This Name is not accepted by the Old Testament Jews)	The New Name of God (His Name is always Changing from time to places and to peoples: His Name is declared or Ascribed by Men)
The Coming of Jesus (He is yet to Come): No God in this World	Jesus is Come (Without Him man can never be perfect and holy): the Living God

To temporarily close my “arguments” (actually a revelation from the Spirit of God and I claim not to be alone in this work today_ God is talking to many of us who has a relationship with him) and to cut the story short, The teaching of man is based on the goodness of God on Man which is in the flesh, meaning, they anchor on blessings (material and spiritual unto themselves) but the teaching of the Man of God is obedience unto death not for a prize, a reward, or for a promise. Amen.  

PERFECTION AND HOLINESS: SERVICE TO GOD AND SALVATION

                       It is written Faith without works is dead. It is also written that Grace is a Spirit which makes a man to work more abundantly and surpass the challenges in walking in the Spirit which is part of our suffering while growing in Christ towards full age and serving Him. To be born again, to be born of Water and Spirit and eventually to be born of God! This growth and process is suffering itself and serving God is another stage of suffering as if to relate it to the two great commandments which are to love God first and then to Love your neighbor. Again, you cannot dichotomize the work and spirit.

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

On the side, anyone who works the work of the Spirit is not working his own work, hence, no one can boast;  the verse below explains of a stage where man being in the Spirit of Grace is being led by the Spirit, hence, he is no longer doing his own work but of God.  This truth fits to the words written that by Grace are we saved through Faith and not of ourselves, it is a gift of God and not of works lest any man should boast!  

John 21:18  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest (this is own work and freewill): but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not (this is not own work or freewill but being a captive or servant).

Truly, walking in the Spirit is not doing your own work that you should boast.  The downside to this is that man has the tendency to own up the works which he do so that he is ensnared by his pride and eventually makes himself as God when he is not being a novice!

1 Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

Knowing that the work is by the Spirit man has to have the Spirit when the God calls him to service and worship.  It is undeniable that man has his portion in the way toward serving God which requires him to be perfect.  If man were not to have his portion in the way to serving God then man can already do what he will or do what is right in his own eyes.  He can be evil and kick against God and still be serving God and saved! 

Man will need to workout his own salvation with fear and trembling. The fear which is the Spirit of Fear of the Lord. Man will need to workout to be perfect and holy for him to be able to serve God: for only the perfect shall serve God. Are you yet serving God? I, mean, do you have the spirit of God already and is made perfect?  Verily, the command for man to be holy and to be perfect and to be filled with the Spirit will be of naught if you will reject perfection and holiness!

Psalms 101:6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

Rejecting perfection and holiness will make you devilish in wisdom and knowledge. Know that God is taking vengeance on the two (2) groups of people:

2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

The work which God is purporting to in Ephesians 2:8-9 is the work of Man which is by his own effort, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. When a man works for his salvation by his own knowledge this is not going to save him for it is not of work.

The perfect knowledge on salvation is to do a work which is by the Spirit of God which dwells in a man which also gives man the ability to overcome this world even by the Spirit of Faith with works! Man can never be saved by own works but by the grace through Faith which is in and by the Spirit. How can a man be saved apart from the Faith where faith without works is dead?  There is really a work, in effect, and to teach that work is not needed in salvation is devilish! 

James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Moving on, God never changed and will never change in his ways, works, manner, and attitude in line with his work on creating man in his image. The manner of God towards sin and evil and wickedness has not changed. He drowned the whole earth for the evil of their imagination (note: only in the mind which is imagination). Jesus said, if you look at a woman with lust you are an adulterer; and if you hate your brother you are a murderer. Your mind alone can kill you!

To assert that God did not change, God made man into a beast like Nebuchadnezzar in the Old Testament and Herod in the New Testament! God killed thousands in the Old Testament and killed Ananias and Sapphira and blinded Elymas the sorcerer because of sin in the New Testament. How will not man workout his salvation?

If there is no perfection and holiness how will a man have an experience in the spiritual warfare which is to pull down the stronghold of his imagination? Where is man’s suffering then founded which is the gospel of the cross?  Beware of the teachings of the men of this world.

Behold, if you are not perfect you are not yet serving! How can you now claim that your suffering is serving God? How can you suffer if there is no war inside you where suffering abounds in war? How can there be a war inside you if you do not have the Spirit but are carnal filled with the flesh lust and filth walking with the world?

Behold, the sufferings of the world is because of the evil of their deeds and not because there are doing the work of God. 

Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Do not miss the gospel _ the Everlasting Gospel for it is about Judgment, Fear of the Lord, giving Glory to God, and worshiping Him.

Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Know that because of sin man is separated from God! How can you live in sin and hope for your salvation being separated? Know that in the last days there will be churches that will emerge as prophesied by John in his Book of Revelation, to wit:

1) The church that is greedy of gain having the doctrine of Balaam (this is a church of hirelings);

2) The church which leave the first love of God;

3) The church which teach lies and seduce the servants of God to fornication;

4) The church whose work is not perfect;

5) The church that is a compromiser of the Word of God (this could be them who cannot teach perfection and holiness): the Lukewarm church;

6) The church populated by worshippers of Satan; and

7) The perfect church.

How can you reject the knowledge on perfection and holiness? How can one say, there is no work that can save a man? How about doing the work of God in obedience making you suffer in the flesh for in the Spirit of Truth the flesh will have no gain on it?

How will God judge the world of the good and the evil when  believing on him will be sufficient to absolve you of your sins? Did not Judas believe in Jesus and betrayed him? Did not Lucifer please God where God made him a name until pride came on him and he rebelled against God? How will you reconcile the anger of God on the workers of Iniquity? In fact, God is an enemy to them who walk contrary to him. Be in the Fear of the Lord that you may perfect holiness! Know that the Fear of the Lord perfects Holiness.

Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the 

second death.

I have yet so many things to say but you cannot bear them now.

Man must understand the scriptures for all that I see is that all of the knowledge that abound today are but part of the truth but not the Whole Truth for the absence of the Spirit of love, and power and of the sound mind!

2 Timothy 1:7  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Pray and keep yourself unspotted by this world for God the Spirit will never dwell in a defiled and profane place.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Digging deeper, the Death of Jesus Christ was a plan of God to Jesus to set an example which is for our learning that we should obey even unto death! His teachings were against all pride and sin. His teachings were of Godliness. His death is not in vain when man hearkens unto him in a 20-20 vision, so to speak.  We are to be perfect throughly furnished unto all good words by the Word of God.

Luke 9:28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

Luke 9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

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.

The teachings which reject holiness and perfection is of the devil for see now what church are you in as prophesied by John. Seek the perfect church with the perfect doctrine on Godliness.

Book of Revelation Chapters 1-3 

1) The Church that is greedy of gain having the doctrine of Balaam;

2) The Church which leave their first love of God;

3) The Church which teach lies and seduce the servants of God to fornication;

4) The Church whose work is not perfect;

5) The Church that is a compromiser of the Word of God (this could be them who cannot teach perfection and holiness): the Lukewarm Church;

6) The Church populated by worshippers of Satan; and

7) The perfect Church.

How can you throw away both Religion and the relationship with God when God has a sect and has a different set of laws to his chosen people: the peculiar people and a royal priesthood _ call that religion or whatchamacallit but my point is what is important is the Way, the Work, and the Manner of God, and the Truth not the semantics on religion or relation.  

What is appalling today, is the interpretation of the Word of God by the churches regarding the salvation of man which is not really based on the works of God of old, or the manner of God of old, or the ways of God of old, the Spirit of God of old and by the voice of God in the present.  You cannot even compare their interpretation to the spiritual works of God with the supposed spiritual works of the men of God of old.

Know that the Levites had their own laws separate from the laws of the Nazarites of Judah! In fact, the sect of the Nazarene was the most evil spoken of as assimilated by Paul. And in fact, being a Nazarene Paul had a shorn head which is suppose to be against the law of being a Nazarite. In another instance, Boaz made Ruth dip the bread to the vinegar making her contemptible before the eyes of his kinsmen!  Ask me now where is perfection? Well, it is in the revelation of God _ the Voice of God. Confer not with flesh and blood for I myself did not get this knowledge from men but by revelation from the Spirit of Christ and not from reason which is also a form of own work that cannot save me. He that hath an ear let him hear!

The Gospel of God includes his name of God which is to be declared in the latter times, nevertheless, we shall know him by his works, his ways and the truth which he will reveal and declare.

Deuteronomy 32:1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Deuteronomy 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Deuteronomy 32:3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

The hope of men is for God to come down meaning for God to dwell in man. The man that is sanctified and made perfect, and holy. How can you reject Holiness and Perfection? How will you not work a work that is pleasing to God by the Faith?  Why make the death of Christ in vain by not following his steps in obedience? Behold, man is not only to believe on him but also to suffer for his sake! This is the work that we must work for our salvation and not to leave our heavenly habitations in perfection and holiness.

Philippians 1:29  For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

1 Peter 3:14  But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

Know also the cross of the apostle Paul: the work he worked for his salvation.  If Paul did not obey the word of God for him no doubt he will be thrown to hell.  Where is your argument that there is not work?   Behold, the work we work is the work of God, and so, it is not our own that we can boast of!  This is Spirit of Sound Mind.

Acts 9:16  For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

Again, the teaching which rejects the working out of one’s salvation is a teaching of the dead! Know that Faith without works is dead!  So that if you are to be saved by grace through faith that faith has to be alive and not dead! Work the work of righteousness, perfection and holiness. 

EVIL IN A WORLD WHERE GOD IS LOVING

The question: How will man explain evil in a world where God is loving? has been fatally polluting the minds of the world.  The atheists, the skeptics, the agnostics and the natural man finds it hard to believe that there is a God because of this unanswered question.  A derivative question on this is: If there is a God why would he allow mayhem, pillage, murders, rape, wars and genocide?

The mindset of the people asking these questions reflect where they are coming from.  They come from the land where no knowledge is! These are ignorant and if they will continue to reject the knowledge of the Holy it will mean confusion and departure from the Truth.

The truth remains steadfast that God created man in his image.  Creating man, God gave man his freewill just like the angels in heaven.  This freewill God will never intrude but always respect purposely for the world to continue to go around and live as they were blessed to multiply and to have dominion.

The reason why evil thrive and flourish is because of the freewill of man: for it is written, there is no just man upon the earth that doeth good and sinneth not.  Further, Solomon testified saying, Man at his best estate is all together vanity: man is a beast.  Jesus affirmed saying, there is no one good! Knowing this truth, it is concluded that man is brutish and vain ergo his will is devilish and deadly.

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 1:19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.       

Proverbs 14:2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

Proverbs 16:7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Now, sin separates man from God and hereby evil, violence, curse and corruption come.  Living in such a willful and sinful circumstance is a world of trouble and tribulation.  

THE STORY OF THE WILLFUL AND SINFUL KING AHAB IN TROUBLE

1 Kings 18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?

1 Kings 18:18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.

THE STORY OF ISRAEL WHO CAME OUT OF EGYPT IN TROUBLE BECAUSE OF SIN

Psalms 78:30 They were not estranged from their lust.  But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

Psalms 78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

Psalms 78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

Psalms 78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLES OF THIS WORLD IS SOLELY MAN

2 Thessalonians 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

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

See verse do unto others as you want others do unto you.

It should be clear now that man is the root cause of the evil not God.  There is just a law that works in this world set by God for man to take heed and obey that he may have peace with God.  Unless a man is reconciled with God peace and quiet and rest will never come.

Now, the will of God is for man to be Godly, meaning, man must live a perfect life that man may be able to present himself a living sacrifice before God and be accepted to be his righteous servant.  Man when he is called is called for to serve God and not just for salvation.  Having an eternal life is to be perfect for only in perfection is a man being converted.  This is the reason why Peter was never converted all the time while Jesus was with them: he was not yet perfected for Perfection is the stage of being born in the water and the spirit.  Perfection is the stage where the Spirit of God is the one moving a man.  Perfection is not the stage of a babe in Christ.

THE BABES IN CHRIST

Hebrews 5:12  For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Hebrews 5:13     For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 

Hebrews 5: 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The meat of them who are full of age in Christ is to doing the will of God.  A condition where one is not able to do his own will but is selfless.  The One who is born in the Spirit is like the wind which bloweth where it listeth.  Anyone who is still exercising his own will (freewill) is never born of the Spirit.  This is the reason why the world is in trouble.  The will of man going against the will of God will never produce a world of peace and love.

John 21:18    Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

John 3:8     The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

In conclusion, if man were to walk with God and obey his voice with a perfect heart this world would have long enjoyed the blessings from God which fruit is Love, Joy, and Peace.  God loves this world and is even kind to the evil and the unthankful.  God’s will is always good to man but man is selfwilled, stiffnecked, and continue to rebel against God.  Man refuses to heed the calling and teachings of God, worse, there are no teachers of the TRUTH and of the Laws of God today.  Consequently, the world is in chaos not because God wanted it to happen.  Everything is the fault and sin of man against God the reason why the world is filled with violence and corruption.

2 Chronicles 15:3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

One should understand the verse above that Israel never lost its books which is the Old Testament and yet they have come to a point where they are without a true God, without a teaching priest, and without law!  Even so, today the same is happening to us.  We have teachers and pastors and evangelists in abound but these are never able to come to the knowledge of Truth.  They only have the form but these deny the power of God: the power that can make a man perfect; the power that can cast away the evil in man (ourselves); the power to overcome the world by the blood of Jesus and the word of the testimony, among others. 

2 Timothy 3:5      Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Romans 2:20     An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

The admonition below speaks of the hypocrisies of the Jews going astray!  Biblical history reveals to us how the true church struggle against the people who think they have the right interpretation of the Laws written and are in the truth when in fact they are not.    

Romans 2:17  Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

Romans 2:18  And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

Romans 2:19  And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

Romans 2:20  An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

Romans 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Romans 2:22  Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Romans 2:23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

Romans 2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

Therefore, humble and pray and seek the face of God and turn from the wicked ways so that God may hear from heaven and bless us again as we are reconciled to him in Spirit and in Truth.
