THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IN THE MAN OF GOD

The world will never be able to come to the knowledge of truth though they attain wisdom and knowledge by reading the Bible. However, they be filled with zeal: it will not amount to the knowledge of truth.

Proverbs 30:3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.

2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

This is the reason why the Sadducees and the Pharisees and the Lawyers and the Scribes persecuted Jesus.  They thought they are the ones who had the understanding of the scriptures.  They ended up crucifying the very Messiah. This was a plan though as discussed in the mount between Jesus, Moses, and Elijah (Luke 9:30-31).

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

Isaiah 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
 

1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

The servants of God will speak the mystery and not in the knowledge or wisdom which is according to men.  So when one claims to be sent by God and preaches of peace let him know that the doctrine is according to Godliness and not according to men.  Moreover, the servant of God will speak of new things which gender holiness and perfection: things not yet heard by men.  Their words will not be understood by the carnal men.

Psalms 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
 

Proverbs 8:9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
 

Job 33:3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

    The proof of the Man of God is that he will speak of mysteries: which mystery is of the spirit. This he will do in the spirit of Truth and Revelation.

1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. See 1 Corinthians 2:9

Any man who claims to be of God and speaketh not of the Everlasting Gospel, the Exhortation, the Doctrine according to Godliness, the Teaching On Perfection And Holiness, and the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is not of God.  Yea, he will speak of words which are winds, meaning, without power, that is,  to create the new man which is the inner man. Amen.

  

THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH

Following and fulfilling what is written in the scriptures is not a proof and a credential that a man or a church is God’s.  These people are simply trying to relive a life that is already past.   Believe it or not to have prophets within the church is not even a seal of it being a true church for the prophets must have the spirit of truth.

       However, it is to be understood that the church of God and the man of God is also come to fulfil the words written in the scriptures for He will come in a volume of book written of him.  What makes the man of God and his church distinct from the false or half-the-truth-churches-and-men is his power and doctrine which he preaches and exercises out of the command given to him by the Father which is in heaven.

       The above story, in the Spirit of truth, is best demonstrated by the biblical experience of Assyria, Egypt, and Israel (Judah) in its proper perspective.  He that hath an ear let him hear.  God is a Spirit and he is in heaven, and in earth and in hell!  There is no place where God is not present.

Psalms 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.  

                

       God being the possessor of heaven and earth: He is also the God of all.  He is a God of the Egyptians, of the Assyrians and of Israel and the God of the Devil and his angels.  Warping the time of the ancient forward into our present time: it is to be understood that there is no single church who can claim that they alone are of God.  God is talking to all just as He did of old and in the times of the New Testament. 

Isaiah 19:24-25 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the works of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

                

       God spake to Pharaoh-Nechoh of Egypt saying that he must go to war at Carchemish in the waters of Megiddo which is Euphrates: which King Josiah of Judah would not believe but decided to meddle leading to his death (2 Chronicles 35:20-24).  

       God spake to Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon; God spake to King Abimelech of Gerar the Philistine warning him of Sarah the wife of Abraham; God spake to king Esar-haddon the son of Sennacherib of Assyria in Nineveh; God spake to king Cyrus the Persian to build the House of God in Jerusalem; God spake to Saul the persecutor of the Christians on his way to Damascus;  God spake to the Eunuch of queen Candace of Ethiopia using Philipp the evangelist who was with the Holy Ghost; Prophet Samuel go around in circuit to different places from Israel to Damascus; God spake to the Midians as evidenced in the priesthood of Jethro the father in law of Moses;  God walked on the earth as He was met by Abraham from his tent at Mamre and Lot at the gate of Sodom; and what else proof would I speak?

                                                                                                               The point here is that the church that teaches that they alone are save or is alone the true church,  as if God is only speaking to them, is a presumptuous church.  This is teaching a false doctrine for certainly they do not know the scriptures!      

Also, any man who claims to be the Son of God so as to proclaim that he is the only begotten who has come in this last days must manifest the word and the command of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness for any power without holiness is of the evil.

Luke 4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power

Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

       Yea, the power of God is wide ranging and it is a sequel of power to another power that makes a man holy and perfect.  The power goes with the doctrine and the gospel itself which is according to Godliness.  The difference of the power of God and that of Satan is that his power will never make a man perfect and holy; yea, he will neither teach the ways of God which is in the spirit of judgment and burning. Satan is afraid of hell and fire.

As a matter of fact, the power of God is never subjugated or subdued by any powers that be.  Jesus Christ was crucified and was given to the power of darkness because it was his testimony.  His death was a script that he role played as discussed with Moses and Elijah to conquer death and show that there is resurrection.

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 life of Jesus is the truth that shows the way to life eternal which is by obedience whether it be evil or be good.

Jeremiah 42:6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.

       God would like that a man will not think of evil or good if it is a command coming from him.  This is the innocence that God would want a man to attain and not the innocence like that of king Abimelech of Gerar who lusted after Sarah the wife of Abraham.  

       Innocence biblically means a man's state of being with the integrity of the heart and the cleanness of the hands.   The right kind of innocence, however,  is the one which intent and object is to glorify God and God, respectively; and not to satisfy oneself.

       Innocence with the integrity of heart and the cleanness of hands which object is to satisfy a man's own desire is neither of God nor is Godly. It is only Godly when its intent is to glorify 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.

Now, the truth which is of God is not the truth which a man is thinking of.  The truth of God is all about his creation which is Man.  The truth is his word which changes a man from filthiness into holiness.  The truth of God is about his wisdom which changes a devilish wisdom into a heavenly wisdom.  The truth of God is not about the things that pertain to the flesh but to that of the spirit.

Truth is the Spirit which brings forth change in a man's mind, heart, soul, and spirit. So the word of God is the truth which commands a man to believe on him and to do what he commands for a man to become holy and perfect.  

        

This then is the big difference and gap between the understanding of what truth is on the various points of perspectives, and domains, and dimensions.

So when Jesus said that he is the way, the truth, and the life it simply means that he is the one sent by God to declare the right things for a man to be able to perceive and understand the work of God.  Truth is the sure change that will come to to a man body, soul, and spirit if a man will only take good heed to the voice of God. 

1 Kings 2:4 That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. 

The truth is about the creation of God which is spiritual and not material to enable man to walk along and abide by the commandments which he declares. 

Now, truth is the Spirit which engenders the mercies of God upon man.  Being a Spirit it will never follow a path or a pattern of things when it wishes to create a man unto holiness and perfection.  This is the reason why it is always by a command.

1 Kings 3:6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.  

The Spirit of truth is about goodness and peace that reconciles a man back to his Creator.  The Spirit of truth makes a man abide and live a righteous life unto the salvation of his soul.

2 Kings 20:19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?

Psalms 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

Now the Spirit of truth is not concrete nor tangible but is spiritually discerned so that no man can really see and accept it to be in existence because the natural man receives not the things of God who is a Spirit. 

The Spirit of truth is not the truth which is found by inquiry in a criminal investigation.  This is where separation begins between the truth known to a carnal man and a spiritual man.  The spirit of truth is the truth that sets a spiritual man free from the bondage of sin and death.

In another work of God the spirit of truth and revelation brings forth the spirit of liberty upon man.  It is at this stage of growth in the spirit where a man is no longer under the law (even the written commandments of God). So that it is by the voice of the Lord whom he will send. 

Therefore man is commanded to cleanse himself from the filthiness of flesh and spirit which spirit is actually the spirit of a man which is in him, that is, the spirit of guile and the subtle spirit, among others.

Now there are diverse kinds of spirits: the spirit that is from God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, the Profane spirit, and the spirit of man, to name a few by genre.

You see man has to know these spirits so he can discern which to receive and which to exorcise or reject.  Knowing not this truth will make a man perish from the life of the spirit which is of God. He that hath an ear let him hear.

THE SPIRIT OF ERROR

     This is a nugget of truth which you must know: for many will teach using the precepts of men purposely to lure men into their fold.  Having not the Spirit of Truth, however, the obvious becomes apparent that their words are all but lies!

     Most of the preachers today say that God never answer "NO" to a man but "YES" or "WAIT"!  This teaching is a point blank lie.  The biblical experience say otherwise. 

     Moses in his petition to enter into the promise land was replied by a big "NO" by God.

Deuteronomy 3:23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,   
Deuteronomy 3:24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?  
Deuteronomy 23:25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
Deuteronomy 23:26 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.

     Moreover, by the words written is to be understood and accepted as it is revealed that: 

1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 
Psalm 109:7 – Prayer becoming a sin

Prov 28:9 – Prayer becoming an abomination

Psa 80:4 – God angry at the prayer of his people

Psa 66:18,20 a Prayer not heard

     So not all prayers are answered in an affirmative way but also in a negative manner.  God's answer depends on the uncleanness of a man's heart and mind.  let everyone that hath an ear hear this words. Amen

     

THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH

     The Grace of God and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you.  I, Jonas of the sons of Adam at the isles of the sea in these last days do reveal and expose the mystery of the Spirit in the spirit of Truth and Revelation.

     Know ye not that God is a Spirit and that He dwell in temples not made with hands, that is, to say in men?

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

        
     The Spirit of God will really dwell in man who is made holy and perfect through the sanctification made by the Holy Spirit of God.

1 John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

     Behold, this is not what the churches and the preachers are telling you that it is a must that the Spirit of God must dwell in you: and dwelling it will not come for as long as a man is carnal, unclean in flesh and in the spirit.  

     To be carnal means to be filled with the cares, riches and pleasures of this world.  Man will need to be separated from the world as the world is defiled and corrupt.  Time and time again we see God cleansing places from violence and corruption, and evil imaginations of the heart.  He, therefore, destroyed seven nations of old, drowned the whole known world of Noah, turned men into beasts like Nebuchadnezzar (Olt Testament) and Herod (New Testament).  And so, it is written,  let everyone that nameth the name of Jesus must depart from iniquity; as this is a sure foundation of our faith in God.

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

     Whoever tells a man that he is save by just believing the name of Jesus speaks of the Truth in part.  Never be deceived for it is clear that the scriptures tell that sin separates a man from God both in the old and in the New Testament.  

     Entering into the kingdom of God means more than believing in his name; yea, salvation is a series of stages.  In whatever stage a man is found doing and keeping the command and the will of God, with a perfect heart, the same shall be saved.  

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

    The salvation of the thief at Calvary is a demonstration of the power of God to save a sinner who repents and who is at his end of days with  a pure heart.  Not all sinners are saved and to put your life in a rare situation like that of the thieves at Calvary, who were crucified with Jesus Christ,  is to understand that the one on  the other side who believed not Jesus was thrown into the lake of fire!

     How will you account the lives of them who believed on the name of  Jesus Christ for salvation and went out from him or have left him when he taught them that the flesh profits nothing?  

     Beware of the teachings and doctrines of men for they will not teach and lead you on how to be holy and perfect.  They obviously teach for filthy lucre.  They make merchandise of you unto the devil by not giving you the whole armor of God.  

    Again entering into the kingdom of God needed a man to be born in water and in the spirit which means that this is a process.  This is the reason why there are babes in the faith.

Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 

1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

     The Spiritual man in Jesus Christ will need to grow in grace and in the knowledge so that believing is not enough for the devils also believe and tremble.  

James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

     So know that there is really a safe way and an excellent way towards salvation and this is to serve Him in the Spirit and in the Truth. Amen

INTRODUCTION

     This book is an expose' of the errors of man regarding his knowledge on God who is described and revealed in the scriptures. It is unfortunate that I do not have the convenience to proof read and edit my work after writing it.  I suggest that they who dare want to read this book would pray to God that he will be given the spirit to understand  for this is truly not my own work.

     I do not know how to edit my work as there are some skips in my thoughts and words easily jump out of the lines so that missing words do manifest in the sentences. Most of the lines are sometimes hard to understand but if prayers are made before reading I am sure the God of Wisdom and Understanding will pour out on to make you understand.  

     I have been reading the scriptures diligently since 1983.  Yea, daily as there are always new things coming from God in the Spirit of Truth and Revelation.  Many God-seekers are now trying to drill into the dark and hard truth of the Scriptures on true worship and the true God.   This Book is the answer to this search.

    This book seeks to illuminate the things in the dark which man has failed to see in their eyes of understanding: the reason why they always err before God.    

     At the end of reading this book it is expected that an appetite to seek God will be built.  This book will change your view on God and man beyond what is already known putting it in the Right Spirit.  Amen 

THE DISCERNING SPIRIT

     This epistle attempts to educate the whole Christian world, who has the Fear of the Lord,  regarding  the Truth which was, and is, and is to come.  

    Sooner or later, Many will disagree with me: those who have not the Spirit of God or having received another gospel, or another Jesus, or another spirit. Jesus is also  the other name of Satan!   Therefore, be careful that you have the Spirit of God in you and not the unclean spirit, or else, you will be like the seven (7) sons of Sceva, having not the spirit, but just tried to cast out the devil from a man in the name of Jesus. 

2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

     They who have the Fear of the Lord, let them hear what the spirit of wisdom and understanding will have to say regarding the Truth.  

     As the Christian world burden themselves with knowing God through the letters, which is to say,  that they have the bible at hand, they missed to come to the knowledge of the Truth and to the knowledge of the Holy.  

     As pertains to the Truth and Holiness: we are to worship God in truth and in spirit;  also, in truth we are to walk in it; in holiness, we are to become holy; and in perfection we are to become perfect for the Father in heaven is perfect.

    Doing such thing as walking in the spirit will give you the the experience which brings hope unto a man.  Better, yet, it will give man the experience on how the holy spirit will manifest and to know his manner.
   

2 Peter 1:5-10 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

     The measurement of the Truth according to the scriptures is that  the life that is being professed by a man must first be spiritual, so that man can compare the spiritual things with the spiritual by the Holy Ghost.  If any man cannot understand this simply means, that the life of the Man of God is firstly a fulfillment of the scriptures in a precept upon precepts, precepts upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little and there a little fashion (truncated).  

   The fulfillment is according to the testimony of a man whose life is written in the scriptures because of his faith which is, to say, man's life is driven by the words which he hear from the man of God.  The spiritual man will delight in the volume of book which is written of him to do the will of God.  This is the reason why the fulfillment of the scriptures of Jesus Christ is actually on a truncated manner.  His ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts.

Psalms 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 

     The whole chapter of Psalms 22 do not at all reflect the actual testimony of Jesus Christ but only a line upon line basis.  In fact, his death was planned and was earlier known by Jesus as it was discussed between him and Moses and Elijah. It was not written in the manner as detailed as to how it would unfold.  The life story of Jesus Christ was built in heaven.  

Luke 9:29-31 ...Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 

    Now, this is the reason why Jesus turned and rebuked Peter saying, Get thee behind me Satan for thou savourest not the things of God but the things of men.  The reaction of Peter unto the threat to the life of Jesus was actually against the plan of God for Jesus' crucifixion. The plan of God for each of his child is particularly unique in terms of their ministry and glory. 

    The Plan of God for all His children is universal in that he wanted them all to be holy and perfect for them to serve him, meaning, they must be without blame, blemish, spot, and wrinkle for them to be acceptable to him in serving him.

Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 

     Now, it is obvious that the teachings and the doctrine of men will abhor truncation because they will always say that any man who will add or diminish a word in what is written will either be a cause of curse unto him or his name will be blotted out from the book of life. Understand that the laws of God are written for men to observe, and to keep, and to obey; it is not for him (God) to be subject unto, though, he subjected  himself also under it for to know what is in man. 

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

     The spirit of wisdom and understanding will tell us that the very reason why Israel was commanded not to add nor to diminish the words of his commands was for them to be able to keep his commandments.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

     We are to know, however, that the spirit of wisdom and understanding reveals further this equally significant  biblical experience: when the prophet Jeremiah rewrote the words of God which was cut and burned by King Jehoiakim the son of Josiah at his winter house.

Jeremiah 36:32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words. 

     Now, many preachers teach doctrines and laws that are not actually of God but by themselves.  The proof to this  is that they can never teach us the path of His commandments.  They always find themselves warring at each other whether which of the commandment to follow: just as what happened to the young rich man who asked Jesus, saying, which commandment must he do to enter into life. 

Matthew 19:16-22 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?  ...The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?...Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

     Now, concerning also the law let me reveal to you the biblical experience in the spirit of wisdom and understanding that you may know God is the one setting it up or appointing it to people in his own time, will, purpose, time and judgment.  

     When the sons of Jehonadab the Rechabite were fully observing the laws of the Nazarite by not drinking wine: the prophet Jeremiah was commanded to  come to them to let them drink of the wine.  Having the laws of their fathers with them they refused to obey the voice of God by the prophet Jeremiah and so they were cursed.

Jeremiah 35:2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. 

Jeremiah 35:6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:

Jeremiah 35:16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:

Jeremiah 35:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.

Jeremiah 35;19 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.

     The story above reveals to make us understand that the laws of God is not at all what is written  and read or told of old.  God is a living God and he is known by His judgments which He execute.  He will come down to declare things that are right.

     Lest you may think that this story is only in the old testament let me relate to you another in the New Testament. When everyone was thinking of the food that they should eat, that is, only the clean and not the unclean: Jesus said, it is not the thing that enter into a man's mouth that defile a man but what comes out of it.  Yea, Peter was admonished, too, by a vision with God telling him what God has called clean let not yourself call it unclean.

     Pushing further, Paul said, let us leave the first principles of the doctrine of Christ which is the doctrine of baptism and repentance and, so on, because the teaching is perfection.  This means that no man can be perfect by the laws written for all have fallen short of it but by the coming alone of God in the flesh and declaring the words which to follow alone. This makes all things simple to understand and obey for it is by his voice.  When he comes down the bible will become the witness of what he will be doing to his saints for all shall appear as written in it and some are not for he will do new things.

Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Hebrews 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

     Let everyone know now that everything that comes from God for a man to become holy and perfect is by a command.   Though there maybe signs shown like that of the clouds by day and the pillar of fire by night during the time of Moses: yet, Israel would only journey upon a command. In fact, everything will be by a command ranging from the blessing to the curse and to the promise. 

 

   Additionally, though the command to circumcise became a covenant for Israel by Abraham this did not matter when Israel was at the wilderness.  The children born at the wilderness were not circumcised until the time of Joshua.  

Joshua 5:5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.

     Therefore, the law is not according to what a man knows or what he reads in the scripture which is the written law but of faith which is the unwritten law, that is, hearing it from God by Himself or through his prophets which is his voice.  

     Now, you may ask me how shall a man know if a prophet is talking in the spirit of truth or have the Spirit of God? Behold, that prophet shall speak or prophesy of peace.  The peace which is with God and not with men.  The sure prophecy is about the change in man or the coming of the new creature if he will obey the commands. 

    Though the scriptures say, as much as possible live peaceably with  God and with men: the spirit of understanding again will teach us in the biblical experience about the true peace or the perfect peace.  

     Perfect peace is with God alone and not with Pharaoh.  This was demonstrated when Shiprah and Puah defied Pharaoh to kill all the male children of the Hebrews during the time of Moses.  Perfect peace is also gleaned on the experience of Daniel, Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego when they all defied Nebuchadnezzar's laws.  The fire and the lions did them no harm. 

     Man may declare peace but God will have to confirm that whether it is true, as it is written

Jeremiah 6:14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

Jeremiah 8:11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 

    Discerning the spirits is developed by experience in the life in the spirit and a life that is filled with profanity and uncleanness.  To corrupt and defile oneself by joining with the world or by assimilating their abominable customs would impair the ability to discern the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error. 

    The discerning spirit comes in the experience of both the evil and the good in the spirit of diligence and obedience to the commands of God. This may sound hard to understand but allow me to put it this way, man in his obedience to God will naturally experience falls and rising again while obeying God because his flesh is weak when it comes to fulfilling the words which he hear from the servant(s) of God. This is what is meant by the experience of both the evil and the good while walking in the spirit of obedience.  Upon this experience will come the discerning of the spirits because discernment is the experience itself.   

    No one man can say a thing is evil or good unless God declares such as evil or good or holy.  One can easily glean from the lesson on Moses who made the brasen serpent in the wilderness by the command of God though there was already the ten commandments against all graven images or molten images.  Moses, also,  married an Ethiopian woman which was against the law to marry strange women.  In fact, Aaron and Miriam made a mistake of confronting Moses on the matter and Miriam was plagued with leprosy for that act. 

 

    Man is automatically deceived as he begins to observe lying vanities, yea, even his mercy from God is at jeopardy. Believing Jesus is only an eye opener to all Christians but to serve God is the highest calling and serving Him means that a man will need to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord and Savior to become holy and perfect.  

 

    Any person who do not believe in God or the scriptures will have no business reading or, worse, contending this truth.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

   There is, therefore, a necessity for a man to walk in the spirit but this is impossible to happen if a man remains to be unclean, corrupted and defiled by the world and by a man's own works.  This why man is commanded to separate himself from the world and to have no  fellowship with the world because the cleanness of a man's heart and mind is the only way for the spirit to come and dwell in a man.  

    It is but right and logical why the people of the world is not seeing any single holy man today who is doing the will of God because this will only happen when a man walking in the spirit is obedient to him and has become the dwelling place of the Spirit of God. 

    The discerning spirit is that spirit whose eyes are open to all of the spiritual experiences along the ways of the man of God; who loves God with all his heart, and with all his mind, and with all his soul, and with all his might. 

    It is only in the spiritual experience where a man can actually know what is right and what is wrong; for God will be talking to him in the spirit of counsel and might.

    Having said that, how then can a carnal man discern the spirits? There is no way for him to know.  Who is now ministering the spirits? There is neither anyone nor any church who is ministering the Spirit but all of them by the words alone.  This is the reason why their words do not have the spirit of power because they do not have the Spirit of God in them. 

    Additionally, the spirit of power of God is in bearing all things, believing all things, hoping all things, accepting all things, enduring all things and in patience. Yea, though it bears also the signs and wonders.  

2 Corinthians 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

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

    This is the power of God whosoever denies this power is of the devil.  Also, the power of God is in his works, meaning, on his creation.  The work which makes people to believe in him and to change a man from being profane into becoming holy; and from being unclean into becoming clean.  Many people, nowadays, deny the power for not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

    Any man who uses the word of God in his works without the Spirit of God is the devil himself, though, he has the words known to him coming from the book of Genesis to the book of the Revelation_ for by their fruits you shall know them. The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.

    Whosoever, has not the Spirit of God can never bring forth the fruit of the Spirit.  

    

    Now, let me cut this expose' in part before you grow weary in the flesh. Amen
