Build On The True Foundation

HOW MUCH IS HE WORTH

There was a very poor man in town.

He did not even own a bed;

He had no place to lay his head.

But one day he would be given a golden crown.

He went about doing good and healing the sick.

He fed the hungry with bread and fish.

He gave dying people their greatest wish.

He even delivered a raging lunatic. 

This humble man taught people the truth of God’s word.

It was so different from anything they had ever heard.

This caused hatred in their leaders and they wanted him destroyed.

Their search gave them one of his own followers and him they employed

To bring about the destruction of this one who did only good

And in whom they could find no falsehood.

The traitor said, I will betray him to you, but what is he worth?

The deal was set for thirty pieces of silver.  

Thirty pieces of silver to remove this one from the earth.

This one who was the only life-giver.

So the money was paid and they nailed the blessed one to a cross.

The world would never know the glory they had lost.

They laughed him to scorn and said now we will no more morn.

We have put an end to the division he has sworn. 

But only three days later this glorious man again walked among

His enemies and that wild throng. 

The enemies had no idea the head they had pierced with thorns

Was now to be crowned with God’s horns. 

Now they must all bow and worship the man they had hated

Or to eternal death they would be fated.

The man they valued at only thirty pieces of silver was now at God’s right hand.

And before Jesus ever man will someday stand

And give account of all of their misdeeds. 

SO, HOW MUCH IS HE WORTH TO YOU?

Isa 66:17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

[Now this verse proves that someone tried to sanctify themselves and purify themselves in some garden behind some tree in the MIDST. Now the only place in Scripture which answers or explains this is what Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden. That tree of the knowledge of good and evil was in the MIDST of that garden. The Word clearly says that they ATE of this tree. Paul said by the LAW is the knowledge of sin. Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

…the motions of sins were by the LAW and brought forth DEATH. The day you eat of it you die! How much clearer need it be said? You who claim sex is this tree, where is your Scripture saying by sex is the knowledge of sin? Or one which says by sex came death? Wake up! Open your blinded eyes!

Ro 7:7 What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Ro 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. Ro 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

…I had not known sin but by the LAW.(did not say I knew sin by sex). I had not known lust EXCEPT THE LAW said Thou shalt not covet. This proves he is speaking of that ten commandment law. Thou shalt not covet. So how is this something God despised? He hates people trying to serve him by LAW. He wants us loving righteousness and obeying Him and doing good because we have His love and grace in our hearts. He does not want LAW in our hearts. Notice he said we were alive without the law. That was Adam and Eve before they sinned or took up the law and tried to sanctify themselves with the blood of a swine. Remember God said in Isa. 66 that to slay a lamb is the same as offering swine’s blood. So there is no difference. See the law demands animal sacrifices which makes the death of Jesus and His shed blood of no effect.

This is solid proof that the LAW is that tree of the knowledge of good and evil. I have proven this with God’s Word. Now let all those false teachers which say it is something else bring forth one verse of Scripture proving their lie.

Rom 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

{The commandment was unto death}.

Ro 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

{The law was the thing which caused their sin to slay them.}Ro 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

[Jesus was the one who did the will of God, not those OT priests killing sheep and goats. Notice it said ‘thou wouldest not’. What does this mean? It means God did not want these things! Again it said he had no pleasure in them. It is repeated twice here to ESTABLISH this as truth!]

Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

He took away that first or law covenant. He established the second which is by the blood of Jesus and His grace. If you go back to law, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you do despite to the spirit of grace and his blood will not cover your sins. See that it said we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. This is why God never required or enjoyed or accepted the animal sacrifices. This is Adam’s rebellion and sin. He brought up the animal sacrifices for sanctification. He ate of the law tree. He fell from grace. His sin remains for he knowingly and willfully did this sin.

Now I know you are wondering why I have gone into all of this. It is to show you that all of the churches today have gone right back to that tree of law. They all teach you must tithe and attend their little local assembly. This fits the old way of having to have a ‘certain’ place to go to for worship. It totally belies the NT way of what Jesus taught that neither in Jerusalem or in that mountain do we worship. We worship in Spirit and in truth, not some certain place. See then that all the churches are into lies and deception telling you that you MUST attend some local church at a certain time. They tell their people that they MUST go somewhere. This is setting up a law which God had taken down.

The church offers their ‘sacrifices’ of money, but to what avail is it? Their ‘fed beasts’ are their paid preachers. God is full or fed up with their being made ‘fat’ this way. Jesus said freely you have received [the messages] freely give. GIVE. This is the Mark of God. This is the Mark of the true Church. Notice how these ‘fed beasts’ have perverted this saying: they hound it into the members that it means for them

to give their money to them. But that is not what Jesus was speaking of. He was telling his disciples that they were to give the spiritual food to the people. How different these preachers are today!

Isa 1: 13–the ‘calling’ of assemblies is INIQUITY to God! The solemn meetings are iniquity to God. He said they are a trouble to Him and He is weary to bear them. This is very strong words. It is saying that God despises the set time for assemblies and the churches solemn meetings. To Him it is sin. In verse 14 He makes this very clear that God HATES their appointed feasts. Appointed feasts means a set time and place to get together and supposedly ‘eat’ the Word or ‘have church’.

Eph 6: 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

I asked God, what is the gospel of PEACE.

went back to the beginning of the book and there it was; quite shocking as to what is being taught in this world.

Here is the gospel of your salvation:

cp 1: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

This totally contradicts the big lie that believing all you need to be saved… after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

see? first you believe or trust; THE after that YOU ARE SEALED WITH THE HOLY Ghost.

MATCHED what Paul said in Acts 19.

so now, what is the gospel of PEACE?

cp 2

:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

See? in times past Gentiles were not in. but now, Jesus broke down that wall of partition or the enmity of that law of commandments, nailed it to his cross and took of BOTH the Jews and the Gentiles and

made ONE NEW MAN

THUS MAKING … PEACE.

so , anyone who preaches that there is still a difference, and that God still prefers Jews over others, they are liars and tearing down the work of Jesus Christ to make peace and bring us all into one group of children of God.

FINDING THE ONE LOST SHEEP

Mark 5: 5 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. ~~~   [This shows going into a different dimension;  the sea is humanity.  So it shows our coming into humanity and things that happen to us here. ] 

² And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

³ Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:  ~~~ [the tombs are our human bodies.  Even though he was bound with chains = temptations…   he broke them each time…  refusing to stay in that sin.]

⁴ Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

⁵ And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. ~~~~ [cutting himself with stones?  = trying to go by law;  works of the flesh;  did not work]

⁶ But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, ~~~ [afar off…. He began getting sight of some truth and ran toward this;  he did not run from it but toward it.  He wanted Jesus.]

⁷ And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.  ~~ [Here he is asking Jesus for help;  he is seeking to not end up in more torment.]

⁸ For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

⁹ And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

¹⁰ And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

¹¹ Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

¹² And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

¹³ And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

¹⁴ And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

¹⁵ And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

¹⁶ And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

¹⁷ And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.  ~~~ [This is the people, preachers, who hate truth and want Jesus gone;  they will not tolerate a person who finds real deliverance; truth. ]

¹⁸ And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

¹⁹ Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

²⁰ And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

The above verses are so profound!  In these verses is the deep truth of how a person is bound here by sins and evil spirits;  fleshly desires;  anything that holds us back from serving God with Joy.  Jesus departed from the place where he was and went to another coast for one purpose.  He was going after that one lost sheep that had gone astray and lost his way back home.

The man was dwelling in the TOMBS.  This shows that our human body is a prison or grave.  The spirit or being that inhabits our human body did not originate when that baby was born.  Oh, I know,  this is not common knowledge because those who were paid to feed the sheep were really wolves coming in to devour the sheep.

Our spiritual person, or the inner man, did not originate when a baby was born here.  That spiritual being was sent here from another world.  Sometimes it is punishment for rebellion to God and at other times it is one being sent here to help lead the blind back to sight;  back home to God.

Even though it is not well known, this man in the tombs is a perfect type of the life of a Christian, attempting to get back home to God.  Evil spirits or demons had gotten into this man.  The sins that bound him were those chains.  Each time they chained him up he would break those chains and repent and get back to God.  But then more temptation hit him and he fell again.  Chained up once more.  Over and over this person resumed his walk with God only to fall one more time under the temptation.  He had become totally insane and was naked = lost his glory with God.  

But Jesus Knew about this man and went out of his way to go find this man and break that evil chain and get rid of those evil spirits.  He gave this man the Holy Ghost and delivered him completely from falling into temptation. 

But what happened to those evil spirits?  They asked to be allowed to go into the SWINE.  So what is SWINE?   The word tells us.  The swine can be cleaned up but will jump right back into the mudholes that he loves.  The swine has no real desire to serve God or live a clean holy life.  So all those demons went into the swine and the swine went over a cliff and fell into the water below and drowned.

Those who were feeding the SWINE  = the paid preachers… fled.  They had nothing that could help the swine.  

The man was then delivered, in his right mind [wanting to serve God], clothed = had the Holy ghost,  and wanted to stay with Jesus.

He asked Jesus to let him go with him.  But Jesus told the man, no, you must stay here and show the people of your town the great things that God has done for you.

So it is that some of us would like to go be with Jesus now, but He says you must stay here a bit longer and try to show others the great things that God has done for you and shown you.

DAUGHTERS

DAUGHTERS OF GOD, DO NOT ALLOW WICKED, WOMEN-HATING MEN DEPRIVE YOU OF YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE THINGS OF GOD.

Micah 4:8

And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

‘THE KINGDOM SHALL COME TO THE DAUGHTER.’

Micah 4:10

Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

Who are our enemies?  Old serpents;  wicked men.

Micah 4:13

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

 So, who is going to do this threshing?  The DAUGHTERS.

Zephaniah 3:10
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.

Zephaniah 3:14

Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

Now, for those who say a woman is not to speak God’s word, here is one of the first and most glorious prophecies of the coming of Jesus and the salvation of the Gentiles:

1Samuel 2:  [spoken by a woman, Samuel’s mother:  pure prophecy and written as part of God’s Holy Word.  Here she is the same as preaching because she is speaking mysteries;  mysteries that were not known in her day.]

2 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

² There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

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.

⁴ The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

⁵ They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

⁶ The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

⁷ The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

⁸ He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.

⁹ He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

¹⁰ The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

V2… her mouth is enlarged over her enemies = men telling women they must be silent!

V4..  same as Mary and Elizabeth prophesied many years later  = Jesus putting down the haughty men and raising up the lowly woman.

V6 is speaking of the death and resurrection of Jesus. 

V8 is mighty:  it is speaking of the deliverance of the saints from this dust body to glorification. 

V10,  she speaks of the thunders… the seven thunders. In this verse Hannah makes mention of the coming King, Jesus, God’s anointed.  At this time they knew nothing about this King. 

The Daughters of Zion have a mount of her own:  Isaiah 10:32

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

Isaiah 16:1

Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

A prophetess is the same as a prophet;  she is a female prophet:  Luke 2:36

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

Joel 2:28

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

This was fulfilled in Acts  2.  Your daughters shall prophesy.  Did they?

Luke 1: ⁴¹ And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

⁴² And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

⁴³ And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

⁴⁴ For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

⁴⁵ And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

⁴⁶ And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

⁴⁷ And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

⁴⁸ For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

⁴⁹ For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

⁵⁰ And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

⁵¹ He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

⁵² He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

⁵³ He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

⁵⁴ He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

⁵⁵ As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

The above is prophecies spoken by both women, Elizabeth and Mary.  It is written Scripture.  So don’t come telling us that women cannot speak the word of God. 

Acts 2:17

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Acts 21:9

And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Were there OT prophetesses?  Sure there was:

Exodus 15:20

And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

Judges 4:4

And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

2 Kings 22:14

So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.

King Josiah sent to this prophetess for the Word of God and she told him exactly what was going to happen to him and Jerusalem:

2 Chronicles 34:22

And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.

Nehemiah 6:14

My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

Isaiah 8:3

And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.

This son, born by virgin birth, to a prophetess, was the other witness that this happened.  It was the OT verification.  Now that is just too many OT prophetesses for anyone to continue to say that God does not use women as well as men.  The NT scriptures that men use to say God will not use women is totally misinterpreted by men who hate women.  It was stated by men who were still going by old law set up by none other than Adam, the lord of the OT. 

Jesus waited until after Peter and John had gone back home and then he appeared first to women.  He showed himself first to Mary before any man knew of his resurrection.  Then these women went and told the apostles: 

 Luke 24: ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.  Jesus first appeared to Mary and told her to go tell his disciples of his resurrection.  Jesus allowed the woman at the well, John 4, to go tell the men of her city of the message He had given to her.  She is the first known evangelist.    So you who say God does not use his daughters, you are LIARS and deceitful devils.

HOW TO TELL

How to tell an OT law church from a NT Grace church.

Right now I don’t personally know of even one NT grace church.  So how do we know?    That wounded head of law was healed.  Who healed it and brought it back up, after Jesus nailed it to his cross and took it out of the way?  CHURCH.   That is who healed it.  And today every single church that I know of today on this earth is either a heathen idle temple or an OT law church.  Those who are under the law are not cleansed from their sins because the Law Covenant was only with the blood of bulls and goats which Hebrews declares that it is not possible for the blood of animals to take away sins.

1. Adventist ….  They are not Christian because they go strictly by OT law.  Law and grace are opposites.  By Law one must be punished for their disobedience and sins.  There is no forgiveness or mercy under that law.  So those who choose to return or fall back to law, fall from grace and therefore will not be saved or redeemed.  

The adventist church worships idols.  That is one of the sure signs of being an OT law church.  Every church or person who still keeps the idol holidays are OT idol worshipers.   They do holidays or xmess, easter, halloween and others.  So they worship idols.  All who worship idols are not Christians but are antichrist. 

The adventist hold to the OT law that some animals are unclean and not fit to eat.  They think that eating animals is sin.  But what did Jesus say?  Nothing is unclean because Jesus cleansed it all at Calvary with his own blood.  

Mat. 15: ¹¹ Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

¹⁷ Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

¹⁸ But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

¹⁹ For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Romans 14: 14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

² For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

1Tim. 4: 4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

² Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

³ Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

⁵ For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

The above verses prove that anyone or church that forbids to marry or to abstain from meats have doctrines of devils.  This includes the adventists, the catholics, who forbid their priests and nuns to marry.  

2 The Catholics also prove to be an OT law church by the fact that they hold to the old priest system that God did away with. 

Lamentations 2: ⁶ And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

Here God shows that he had destroyed the buildings of assembly, their solemn feasts, [this includes all the OT law feasts and their SABBATHS;  He despised the king and the priest.  SEE?  God hated all of that OT system.  Isaiah 1 and 66 solidly prove this also.  So every church that still holds to sabbaths, idols, OT feasts etc.  and having to go to a set place is against the Grace NT system.  Therefore they fall back to the OT law system and it is death. 

V9: ⁹ Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.

The LAW IS NO MORE  her prophets are no more.  GOD destroyed that entire OT law system.  So every church that still teaches tithing, or any other part of that law is dead and lost.

On every count above the adventist and the catholic prove to be an OT law church and therefore are antichrist;  not Christian. 

3. The Mormons.  This group proves to be an OT law system due to all of the above and especially that they say men can have more than one wife.  How does this cross the teaching of Jesus? 

Mat. 19: ⁴ And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

⁵ And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

⁶ Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Jesus clearly taught that there should be just one man and one woman and they would be one flesh and that should not be put asunder.   So every one that permits a man to have more than one woman or wife are clearly defying the teaching of Jesus and have fallen back to OT law bondage.  

Also nothing this group teaches agrees with the word of God.

The Lutherans, the Episcopalians, the baptist, the methodist and all the others teach lies and no true doctrine.  They all worship the idols of the heathens, teach trinity, rapture, deny Jesus name baptism, thus denying his name, they deny the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the gifts of the Spirit therefore they are ALL OT LAW ABOMINATIONS.   They all deny everything that the only true NT grace church taught and did.  These are the ones in the Book of Acts. 

Every church that does not function as they did are OT law churches.  If they deny faith healing they are under law.  If they teach tithing and having to upkeep or pay a preacher to lord over the church, they are a false and OT law system.   Jesus said to his apostles, among you it will not be so that one rule over the other. 

Every church that teaches a difference in women and men Christians as to their work in Christ are OT law.

Paul said it was LAW THAT FORBIDS WOMEN TO TEACH OR SPEAK IN CHURCH.  So this alone proves that they are all OT law churches. 

Here is proof that in Christ or a NT grace church, men and women are the same:  Galatians 3: ²⁶ For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

So everyone who denies women Christians the right to teach or preach or any other work for Christ is an OT law system and doomed.  Why doomed?

Galatians 3: ¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

¹¹ But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

¹² And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

This clearly proves that the OT law is a curse and by it no one will be saved.  There are many many verses that prove this same thing;  so all OT law churches are doomed.   They all worship the same old idols that they worshiped on the other side of the flood and that is why God destroyed them with the flood. 

Everyone who still holds that the Jews are a special people to God are under that old law system.  Jesus brought salvation and oneness to the entire world.  Over and over Scripture says There is no difference;  we are all one.  So if you still think God is going to turn back to that old nation of Israel and especially those who hold the evil idea of a third temple and some old heifer sacrifice are clearly under that OT lie.  Jesus is the temple of God and we are his temple.

God destroyed that old world with the flood mainly due to their idol worship and do you think He is going to allow you to get by with your idols?  Not for one minute.  All holidays are idol worship and I simply do not know of one church that does not do it. 

Everyone who thinks we are still to have a one day a week sabbath are under the old law.  The Book of Acts clearly shows over and over that they did it DAILY.  We are to worship God every day and the baptism of the Holy  Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues is clearly that Sabbath or rest to the soul.  Isa. 28.

This, then, these harlot OT law churches with their idols and lies are the evil Babylon system that God told us to COME OUT OF.  come out of her that you receive not of her plagues. 

Another way to tell if they are OT law churches is by the fact that they worship the false ‘Jesus’ that Paul said they would bring up.  Paul said they would bring up another Jesus and another gospel.  That is just what they did when they said that Mary had a baby god.  They all teach an incarnate god, yet not one single scripture names such a thing nor was it prophesied in the OT Scriptures.   Therefore all who teach this false doctrine are OT Law churches.  So in the end it proves out that every single church today is teaching a lying gospel and not going by the Word of God.  They all go by some man’s lies instead of God’s word, because they cannot prove one word that they say with written Scripture.   They all say you cannot be saved unless you believe that Jesus was or is God.  Yet not one scripture and not one person is all of Scripture said this. 

Some of them such as the methodists and catholics even deny baptism and just sprinkle a little water on folks.  No scripture teaches this.  Scripture clearly teaches that by water baptism do we have our sins remitted.

Eggs, wings and feathers

By: Jo Smith ~~~~~ August 16, 2020

Job 39: 13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her’s: her labour is in vain without fear;

17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

The above Scripture seems to have nothing to do with spiritual living, when you look at it with a carnal or natural mind. But God’s Word is spiritual and must be spiritually discerned. The carnal mind or

natural interpretation is death or the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It puts God’s word down

on a ‘human’ level or lowers it to be of no value, spiritually.

In order to understand the above spiritually one must look up the original Hebrew meanings of the

words. This takes time and lots of work. But Jesus said we must study the Word; search the Scripture.

This is why most people never learn the real truth because they refuse to study the Word.

OK, get started:

39:13 [Gavest thou] the goodly 7443 wings 3671 unto the peacocks 5965 8738? or wings 84 

and feathers 2624 unto the ostrich 5133?(wings and…: or, the feathers of the stork

and ostrich)

Verse 13… [Goodly]…

Here is the original Strongs: Strong: H7442

Orig: a primitive root; properly, to creak (or emit a stridulous sound), i.e. to shout (usually for joy):–aloud for joy, cry out, be joyful (greatly, make to) rejoice, (cause to) shout (for joy), (cause to) sing (aloud, for joy, out), triumph.

ME: It shows to shout for joy…sing aloud, for joy. be joyful.. Great Holy Ghost worship.

Peacocks: Strong: H5965

Orig: a primitive root; to leap for joy, i.e. exult, wave joyously:–X peacock, rejoice, solace self.

1) to rejoice
1a) (Qal) to rejoice
1b) (Niphal) to exult
1b1) to flap joyously (of ostrich)
1c) (Hithpael) to delight oneself

So once again we see the meaning of rejoicing or flapping joyously. (I love this; shows why we wave

our arms in worship.) ..to delight oneself.

Mind you, this is the original meaning of the word translated here as peacock.

Wing: Strong: H84

Orig: feminine of 83:–feather, wing. H83

1) pinion, wing
1a) of bird (ostrich, eagle, dove)
1b) of God (metaph)

Feathers: (This one is powerful)

Strong: H2623

Orig: from 2616; properly, kind, i.e. (religiously) pious (a saint):–godly (man), good, holy (one), merciful, saint, (un- )godly. H2616

1) faithful, kind, godly, holy one, saint, pious
1a) kind
1b) pious, godly
1c) faithful ones (subst)

So from the above we see that FEATHERS shows a Godly trait. I had often believed this to be

the real meaning of feathered fowl or birds, in Scripture. And this proves I was right. So the

people who receive the Holy Ghost and acquire a Godly spirit of being faithful, saintly, holy, merciful and kind are the ones referred to in Scripture as the birds that fly in the firmament. The apostles

were the main ones.

Church folks who stay carnal, no faith, no gifts of the Spirit and say they are still sinners are NOT the

feathered fowl or birds. The eagle and dove are our type. The carnal folks are referred to as brute

beasts or beasts of the field.

The fish of the sea are those who are yet to come to Christ. We must go ‘fishing’ for them.

39:14 Which leaveth 5800 8799 her eggs 1000 in the earth 776, and warmeth 2552 8762 them in dust 6083,

Verse 14: leaveth: Strong: H5800

Orig: a primitive root; to loosen, i.e. relinquish, permit, etc.:–commit self, fail, forsake, fortify, help, leave (destitute, off), refuse, 

1) to leave, loose, forsake

1a) (Qal) to leave

1a1) to depart from, leave behind, leave, let alone

1a2) to leave, abandon, forsake, neglect, apostatise

1a3) to let loose, set free, let go, free

1b) (Niphal)

1b1) to be left to

1b2) to be forsaken

1c) (Pual) to be deserted

I will pick back up with this after I show you what egg means:

Egg:

Orig: from an unused root (of the same form) meaning to bleach, i.e. (intransitive) be white; probably cotton (of some sort):–fine (white) linen.

1) byssus, a costly, fine white linen cloth made in Egypt

So from the above this ‘egg’ is showing RIGHTEOUSNESS.

So this person had begun a life with God. They had acquired some righteousness. BUT she left it behind. She abandoned it, forsook ie, neglected it. She let go of it. Why?

Earth:

Strong: H776

Orig: from an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or partitively a land):–X common, country, earth, field, ground, land, X natins, way, + wilderness, world.

1. land, earth
   1a) earth
   1a1) whole earth (as opposed to a part)
   1a2) earth (as opposed to heaven)

This person has settled for earthly stuff and not seeking heavenly heights. She has now become a member of a church.

Strong: H2552

Orig: a primitive root; to be hot (literally or figuratively):–enflame self, get (have) heat, be (wax) hot, (be, wax) warm (self, at).

1) to be hot, become warm
1a) (Qal)
1a1) to be or grow warm
1a2) of passion (fig.)
1b) (Niphal) to become aroused, inflame oneself with
1c) (Piel) to warm
1d) (Hithpael) to warm oneself

She has not become passioned about her church and self. Inflame oneself…that is scripture and not a good thing.

Here is why she became inflamed in the wrong thing… she left her ‘egg’ or religion to warm in the

Dust:

Strong: H6083

Orig: from 6080; dust (as powdered or gray); hence, clay, earth, mud:–ashes, dust, earth, ground, morter, powder, rubbish. H6080

1) dry earth, dust, powder, ashes, earth, ground, mortar, rubbish
1a) dry or loose earth
1b) debris
1c) mortar
1d) ore

See, it is the same as the one who built their ‘house’ or spiritual life on the SAND.

It fell.

Earth, mud, ashes, dust, rubbish…that is what this person got into when she left her egg in the sand, or joined that church. She does not have the feathers, the shouting for joy. She BURIED her start and settled for a dead lifeless church meeting.

39:15 And forgetteth 7911 8799 that the foot 7272 may crush 2115 8799 them, or that

the wild 7704 beast 2416 may break 1758 8799 them.

Forgettest:

Strong: H7911

Orig: or shakeach \i shaw-kay’-akh\i0\plain\f3\fs21\cf23 ; a primitive root; to mislay, i.e. to be oblivious of, from want of memory or attention:–X at all, (cause to) forget.

1) to forget, ignore, wither
1a) (Qal)
1a1) to forget
1a2) to cease to care
1b) (Niphal) to be forgotten
1c) (Piel) to cause to forget
1d) (Hiphil) to make or cause to forget
1e) (Hithpael) to be forgotten

See, this ‘church member’ has forgotten the holy start she had. She got caught up in ‘church’ work

and forgot to be holy and Godly. The things of the Spirit of God were left behind and a carnal religion

took its place.

Foot:

Strong: H7270

Orig: a primitive root; to walk along; but only in specifically, applications, to reconnoiter, to be a tale-bearer (i.e. slander); also (as denominative from 7272) to lead about:–backbite, search, slander, (e-)spy (out), teach to go, view. H7272

1) to go on foot, spy out, foot it, go about, walk along, move the feet
1a) (Qal) to be a tale-bearer, slander, go about
1b) (Piel)
1b1) to slander
1b2) to go about as explorer, spy
1c) (Tiphel) to teach to walk

All the things above got into her life after she left off shouting for joy and buried her ‘egg’.

Crush:

Strong: H6695

Orig: or (feminine) tsuwqah \i tsoo-kaw’\i0\plain\f3\fs21\cf23 ; from 6693; a strait, i.e. (figuratively) distress:–anguish, X troublous. H6693

n m
1) constraint, distress, strait
1a) distress, anguish (fig.)

n f
2) pressure, distress

So from the above meaning of crush we find that the ‘church or foot of that paid beast/pastor, has

put this person under CONSTRAINT. Or law. Obligation…no freedom….no shouting for joy…’must

be at

your church when we have something…must pay tithes/preacher….must obey him…must not go

anywhere else, etc. This is law. This is how they put your joy out. This is how they crush your ‘egg’

or righteousness and further children. This is what happens when you join a church and become

held down by them. Paul said, not by constraint. Not by law.

Wild:

Strong: H7704

Orig: or saday \i saw-dah’-ee\i0\plain\f3\fs21\cf23 ; from an unused root meaning to spread out; a field (as flat):–country, field, ground, land, soil, X wild.

1) field, land
1a) cultivated field
1b) of home of wild beasts
1c) plain (opposed to mountain)
1d) land (opposed to sea)

The above shows that this ‘dead’ religion is earthly; beast of the field. That is church and church folks/pastors. They are the wild beast that breaks your EGG or white or righteousness.

39:16 She is hardened 7188 8689 against her young ones 1121, as though [they

were] not 3808 hers: her labour 3018 is in vain 7385 without fear 6343;

Hardened:

Strong: H7188

Orig: a primitive root; to be (causatively, make) unfeeling:–harden.

1) to make hard, treat hardly, treat severely
1a) (Hiphil)
1a1) to make hard, make stubborn
1a2) to treat hardly, treat roughly

So, through the crushing of the foot of that beast of the field, (paid pastor), this person has become

hard against what she started out with, her egg.

Labour:

Strong: H3021

Orig: a primitive root; properly, to gasp; hence, to be exhausted, to tire, to toil:–faint, (make to) labour, (be) weary.

1) to toil, labour, grow weary, be weary
1a) (Qal)
1a1) to toil, labour
1a2) to grow weary, be weary
1b) (Piel) to weary, make weary, cause to go toilsomely
1c) (Hiphil) to make to toil, make weary, cause to be weary

The above shows that the beast who crushed her egg has put her under law or hard labour and caused

her to grow weary. Jesus said, ‘come unto to me you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you

rest’. But the beast said, no. do not go to Jesus to rest. I need you to labour for me. I put you back

under law and caused you to lose your egg.

Vain:

Strong: H7324

Orig: a primitive root; to pour out (literally or figuratively), i.e. empty:–X arm, cast out, draw (out), (make) empty, pour forth (out).

1) to make empty, empty out
1a) (Hiphil)
1a1) to empty, keep empty or hungry
1a2) to pour out or down
1a3) to empty out
1b) (Hophal) to be emptied out

So by putting that church member back under law or obligation he caused her to become empty.

He emptied her out….out of her joyous shouting and joyful worship and Godliness. Such a shame.

Fear:

Strong: H6342

Orig: a primitive root; to be startled (by a sudden alarm); hence, to fear in general:–be afraid, stand in awe, (be in) fear, make to shake.

1) to fear, tremble, revere, dread, be in awe or dread
1a) (Qal)
1a1) to be in dread
1a2) to be in awe
1b) (Piel) to be in great dread
1c) (Hiphil) to cause to dread

The beast of the field or paid pastor​/prophet, caused the person to dread his religion, to be in awe

of him, thinking that only he can get something from God. This causes the ostrich or member to

lose their own joy and ability to feed from the word of God for themselves. Thus they have crushed

all the original life and joy out of this person. Now they only have a dread that they must be at

that church

every time that door is open. This is the poison that is constantly poured into the unsuspecting

church members.

 39:17 Because God 433 hath deprived 5382 8689 her of wisdom 2451, neither hath he imparted 2505 8804 to

her understanding 998.

Forget:

Strong: H5382

Orig: a primitive root; to forget; figuratively, to neglect; causatively, to remit, remove:–forget, deprive, exact.

1) to forget, deprive
1a) (Qal) to forget
1b) (Niphal) to be forgotten
1c) (Piel) to cause to forget
1d) (Hiphil) to cause to forget, allow to be forgotten

Because she did not continue in the joy that God first gave her, but fell under the spell of that beast, God has caused her to forget all that joyful shouting she once had. It is gone from her and now all she has is that law…. ‘better be here each time…..better pay those tithes, etc.’

Wisdom:

Strong: H2449

Orig: a primitive root, to be wise (in mind, word or act):–X exceeding, teach wisdom, be (make self, shew self) wise, deal (never so) wisely, make wiser.

See, that beast causes this person to not be able to teach themselves or make themselves wise.

Understanding:

Strong: H998

Orig: from 995; understanding:–knowledge, meaning, X perfectly, understanding, wisdom. H995

1) understanding, discernment
1a) act
1b) faculty
1c) object
1d) personified

Because this person put themselves down under that paid beast, God has not imparted to her any understanding or wisdom. She has cheated herself out of all Godliness by joining that church, allowing herself to be put under law

or constraint and standing in awe of that beast as though he is the only one that can hear from God.

 39:18 What time 6256 she lifteth up 4754 8686 herself on high 4791, she scorneth 7832 8799 the horse 5483 and his rider 7392 8802.

Lifteth:

Strong: H4754

Orig: a primitive root; to rebel; hence (through the idea of maltreating) to whip, i.e. lash (self with wings, as the ostrich in running):–be filthy, lift up self.

1) (Hiphil) to beat (the air), flap (the wings)
1a) meaning dubious
2) (Qal) filthy

The implication is terrible. The church member has become proud and lifting herself up on high thus she has become filthy and is only beating the air. Her life is now meaningless for anything to God. She thinks because she runs faithfully to that barn or storehouse that she is now better than those feathered fowl that stayed out in the open air and flew in the heavens.

Scorneth:

Strong: H7832

Orig: a primitive root; to laugh (in pleasure or detraction); by implication, to play:–deride, have in derision, laugh, make merry, mock(-er), play, rejoice, (laugh to) scorn, be in (make) sport.

Now she has become at her lowest. She is now mocking all that is truly Godly. She is now mocking the joy she once had with God. She is now mocking the joyful shouting of those who do have the Holy Ghost.

She is scorning the horse and his rider. This is Jesus in Revelation; also those who held to the joy of the Holy Ghost. We ride that spirit or horse.

The message revealed in these verses is awesome. I could never have seen this without searching for the original meanings of the words. This is the true spiritual revelation of this passage.

A person began a life with God and had some righteousness which shows as an egg; (white). But then she joins a church and is put under law or constraint to obey the beast of the field, that pastor. In doing so she becomes hardened toward the egg and becomes lifted up in pride and now actually mocks the joy she once had in God.

This is the true way of ‘churched folks’.

Who required this of you?

By: Jo Smith ~~~ August 10, 2018

Isaiah 1: 11~~To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord:

I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts;

and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

12

When ye come to appear before me,

who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

God asked these Israelites, Who required you to sacrifice all these animals and think that is the way to me? He goes on to tell them that everything they do is an abomination to him….their songs, .. their burning incense. . even their Sabbaths. etc.

If God required this of them, why is he asking them who did it? Also why would it be an abomination to him? Have you ever wondered….. or did you even know this is in Scripture?

13…Bring no more vain oblations;

incense is an abomination unto me;

the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with;

it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Their solemn meetings are iniquity!

See God is telling them I want nothing to do with these things you call worship.

Hebrews 10: 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 in burnt offerings and sacrificesfor sin thou hast had no pleasure.

Here God tells them the blood of animals could never take away sins….(we have churches which say the same thing about the blood of Jesus….he can never make you clean and without sin).

But notice verse 5… God said he had no pleasure in those burnt offerings and sacrifice. So He did not require this. So then, who did?

Psalm 40:6

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Here we have another solid proof that God did not require those animal sacrifices.

Deuteronomy 10:12

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

Deuteronomy 18:19

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

Many people will fall here for they pretend to speak in His name and yet they do not hearken to his words.

Deuteronomy 23:21

When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee

When you vow something to the Lord you better do what you say, for he will require it of you and it will be sin if you do not keep that bow.

Micah 6:8

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Now there is what God does require of us.

So the essence of this message is this: when you do what you call ‘worship’ who required it of you? Did God require what you do?

1. You say you must run to some church regularly each week. Who required this of you? where is it recorded?

2. You say you celebrate the birthday of Jesus…. Who required this of you? Where is that recorded?

Do you not know that God said, do not add one word to mine and do only what I have COMMANDED, OR REQUIRED you to do as worship to me.

So to be safe with God, you had better find what God requires of you and do ONLY THAT.

3. You say you celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with egg hunts and such… Who required this of you?

4. You run to your church to do a new years thing…who required this of you? Does God approve of it?

5. You must pay some man to preach to you and ‘pastor’ your church. Who required this of you?

6. You shun people that you feel are not as good as you. Who required this of you?

7. You think your duty is to be at your personal church whenever they have a doing. Who required this of You?

8. You decorate green trees and give out presents for your ‘jesus birthday party’. Who required this of you?

9. Now you even keep satan’s sabbath, halloween by doing your trunk or trick. Who required this of you?

It is all an ABOMINATION TO THE LIVING GOD.

Yet you all feel so righteous and holy and above others in your doing the things that are an abomination to God.

Anything Jesus said to do is REQUIRED. He said, search the SCRIPTURES. HE SAID present your body a living sacrifice; not being conformed to this world. Why do you not obey what he requires of you?

Amen!
