you are marked

You all want to know what the mark of the beast is?

It is simple. I will tell you.

It is everything in this world that is not of Christ Jesus.

schools, not of Christ.

churches, not of Christ. holidays, very much satanic.

medicines, vaccines, ball games, wild parties, movies, made-up books, decorated trees pretending it is somehow of Jesus.

Everything that you do that is not directly told in the Word of God for us to do as serving God is the SURE MARK OF THE BEAST.

The beast system is the kingdom of satan/Adam.

The mark of God is to love your neighbor as yourself. sanctify your life as to be holy. baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.

Studying the Word of God.

keeping your mind on the Lord.

and all the things that God calls righteous and Holy.

You are

maked as either of satan, the beast

or Jesus Christ.

if you keep holidays no need to even claim one thing to be of Christ, because that one thing marks you as being of the beast kingdom.

The End of the Dust

The End of the Dust

By: Jo Smith ….  August 23, 2022

Gen. 3: 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Who was made of the dust of the ground?  Not the Genesis one creation.  The Genesis 2 creation.

Everything that was made from the dust of the ground will return to dust.  That means everything that you can see with your mortal eyes.

Yes, every man/woman, tree, bush, plant.  All the animals and everything that was in the Genesis 2 creation were made of the dust of the ground and will return to the dust.

The trees that we see will not last forever.  They are not made to be eternal.  Watch one that has died and left on the ground for a while.  It has returned to dust.  Dirt.  All living things that we now see with our human eyes will return to dust.

Galatians 4:3

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

Galatians 4:9

But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage

2 Peter 3:10

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

2 Peter 3:12

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Strangely as it seems, these four times are the only times that ELEMENTS are mentioned in all the word of God.

When we were in BONDAGE we were under the ELEMENTS of the world.  Dust thou art and to dust thou shalt return.

Why was it bondage to be under the elements of the world?  It was because we are trapped in this body of dust and cannot soar the heavens in the state we are now in.  We are ‘grounded’.

Everything on this earth that we can see was made from these elements which is also called the dust.  So seeing that all these carnal earthly things will be DISSOLVED why do people resist God and hold to these carnal things?  They are all going to cease to exist.

This dust body that we are held in bondage to is made up of elements.  These things are not eternal materials and will not last into the eternal age.  That is why our body dies and dissolves back into dust again.

These dust lives are not in God’s image.  Let no one deceive you;  this is not the image of God.  This is the image of sinful man.  This image will be destroyed.

Gen 3: 14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

The serpent is Lucifer, satan, devil, dragon, and his name is ADAM.  The man is the serpent.  The man deceived the woman and thus she became in bondage to him.  He is at war against the woman.  The woman is the dust kingdom that was born after the flood.  The two in the garden are only showing a full picture of the overall happenings.

The serpent spirit of the male kingdom before the flood is at war with the female kingdom of dust creatures.  God replaced them with us and they have resented us and hated us ever since.  This is fully shown in how the Jews hate all others and are out to destroy us.  The evil spirits from the other side of the flood infiltrate the dust creatures and cause them to do evil and violence.  They know that because of their own violence God destroyed them with the flood;  so they know that if they can cause dust people to do the same, it will have the same results.  God is never going to allow an evil violent society to continue to exist.

We ARE AT THE END of the female kingdom of dust people!

I doubt you have ever heard any of this before, but God has been teaching me these things for a very long time and you truly need to study and learn these things.

God is an eternal Spirit.  That Holy Spirit has never died, will never die and is not made up of elements.

A man in God’s image is not made up of elements or dust.  So the Adam in Chapter one of Genesis is not the same as the dust Adam in chapter 2.

The creation of chapter one is in God’s image and will never die.  The ones who lived in Eden died due to their sins.  Chapter one will begin after this age ends.  He declared the end from the beginning.  The spirit kingdom was first but not to us.  The flesh kingdom of dust is first to us.  We will be transported into the Heavenly kingdom if we obey God and reject the idols of this dust creation and live a Holy and Godly life here.

Do you wonder why a certain group of high-minded rich people are now at war with the elements?  Why do they wish to destroy the very lifeline of life on earth?  Without these elements, we would all die in a very short time.  They are deceived into thinking that they can become immortals some other way than through Jesus and therefore they want us all dead so they can inherit this earth.

But Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth.

The earth itself will melt away with fervent heat and be transformed into an earth with Gold dust on it.  The new Heaven and New Earth will not consist of dust creatures.  So they must fall.  And fall they are doing.

We are at the end of this dust creation.

Nothing can stop it for it is ordained by God.  He will not tolerate a sinful violent, idol-worshiping world.  He destroyed the male kingdom (and that does not mean everyone was male people there;  it means it had life in itself) with the flood due to their evil.

He is now set to destroy this female kingdom; (again does not mean all are women.  But the men here are female to God.  They do not have the seed of life in themselves.

ONE of US achieved that far-up status….that was Jesus Christ;  the man, Jesus  Christ.  He obeyed God in all things and overcame the sins of the flesh.  Therefore God has highly exalted him and given him a name above all names that through his name we may all be saved and delivered from this body of DUST.

Only in obeying God’s true plan of salvation, recorded in the Book of Acts, will one be able to rise in the next kingdom, that of the MANCHILD.

Jesus was the first person to be delivered from death and raised up to sit on God’s throne and become the author of eternal salvation and bring us into a kingdom that will never end…..  the MANCHILD

This kingdom will be made up of resurrected dust folks who have now become glorified people, back into the original image of God.

So do not be astonished at the horrible things happening around us every day.  It is this world collapsing in on itself to be destroyed forever.

This evil that you see today, you will see no more forever….  IF…. If you make it into the MANCHILD kingdom of Jesus  Christ.

Rev 12: 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

Revelation 12:13

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

All who are in travail to bring forth this man child will be persecuted by this dragon who hated the woman from the very beginning.  He saw and knew that her seed would replace him and inherit the earth and all that is therein.

Thank God for our man child, Jesus Christ.  We are to be baptized into this body by the baptism of the Holy Ghost.  But sadly many fight against this one and only way to become part of this man-child kingdom.

So be it.  We do not need any more enemies.  They will not be there to mess up this third and lasting kingdom of Christ.

The First Mistake You Make

the first mistake people made is by-passing the Book of Acts for salvation. they accept man’s lie that all one must do is just say they believe. satan believes and trembles.
why did Jesus say, he that believes AND IS BAPTIZED shall be saved? yet many churches deny that this is part of salvation. they do call Jesus a lie….
soo….
since they by-pass God’s only chosen path to salvation, recorded in Acts, they do not receive the baptism of the HOLY GHOST, therefore, do not have redemption.
Their lives have not been changed……as they readily admit…teaching that they are still sinners.
so, no salvation for them.
so, without the Holy Ghost to lead them and guide and teach them, they come up screaming JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THIS UNGODLY SEASON.
the season meaning their celebrating the DEATH OF THE WITNESSES OF GOD, which began with Abel.

Rev 11. They ignore Job 3, proving that God actually blotted the birth-day of Jesus OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Jer 20, cursed be that day
let it not be blessed.
Deut 12….do not attempt to worship me as the HEATHENS DO THEIR GODS.
Do not add one word to mine or take away one word.
do not attempt to do unto me ANYTHING THAT I DID NOT COMMAND YOU.

SO NOW, ALL YOU DECEIVED HOLIDAY WORSHIPERS, FIND AND SHOW US THAT COMMAND.

oh no. they set the traditions of man [merchandizers] ABOVE GOD’S WORD. ….yet they claim to be saved.

deceived and deceivers.

Jesus Was Not A Sissy

just looked down at this passage. wow. for you who think that Jesus was a soft, scared person who never rebuked, take a gander at this:
Luke 11: 37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

and this is not all. read it. next he jumps all over the lawyers.
Notice, this is what is so amazing about all of this; this Pharisee had invited Jesus to eat with him. yes. at this man’s dinner, Jesus took his top off. called them fools.
so don’t go thinking that it is wrong to call things as they are. Jesus was not one-bit sissy or scared to rip apart the wicked ones.

smitting the image

Daniel 3: 31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
I know it will sound crazy to everyone….but God showed me something in this:
That image is Jesus.
He was in the image of sinful man… Romans 8.
See, he was partly strong and partly broken.  filled with the Holy Ghost and yet still human.
see that?
Inside him was the gold, silver and yet also clay.
The stone that was cut out of the mountain, of humanity, without hands, smote this image and became a glorious kingdom that filled the world.
That is the RESURRECTED CHRIST.
That inner anointing of God, His Holy Spirit, smote that outer image and did away with it.  glory.
He then became king over this earth.  Yet he has not taken that throne now.
He is still conquering;  still on the throne of God in heaven.


Jesus was also of the law and yet grace. brass, iron, (law) and clay (human)
see that Neb. made the same mistake most folks make…. he took it to the flesh…worshiped and served the creature (man) more than the creator (God). So the man had to be changed. Do not worship the man; worship the Christ.

Daniel showed him a type. SAID THIS IS YOU. so the king made the mistake of thinking it was himself, and set up a man-made image to be worshiped. sound familiar? yep, some say, I am god. even I am the only god you will ever see. such deception. But see, Daniel knew this was not the answer. It was the Christ in the man.

people today still worship that iMAGE. branham; pastor; self; others. it trips them up.

smiting the image is the crucifixion of Jesus.

Eating With Hogs

Eating with Hogs.. .. By: Jo Smith….. December 10“ 2018

Luke 15:; 11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

There is much that can be said for the above passage but the thing I wish to get to is what happened to this man when the famine hit the land.

God said there would be a famine not for bread but for hearing the Words of the Lord. I suppose not many people would consider that to be any famine or of much consequence. They do not esteem the Word of God to be of any value. All they want is their little portion of the worldly goods. Now I am speaking totally spiritual here. So their little worldly goods means their little church services, their good standing among their friends, their popularity, and their entertainment.

The man in the parable took his portion of goods coming to him from his father and went into a FAR COUNTRY. Now we know that Jesus is referred to as taking a long journey into a far country.

And I could go that route in this message, and may before I finish, but right Now I wish to convey something that God spoke to me about last night.

This man went to the far country and there spent or wasted all that he had. So you take off from your beginning with God and you run into a far country = that church you dote so much on. Yes, this is what God is actually speaking of.

That church is the field that you are feeding hogs in. That church is actually the hog pen now. I know at one time, many years ago, church might have been a good place. But it is not now. It is that cage full of every hateful bird. It is that hog pen where you eat the slop with the hogs.

I know you will not like this, but truth is just something that church folks today hate. So be it. I still have to bring the messages to you that God gives me. I am not feeding you hog slop. I am feeding you on the greatest that heaven has to offer.

You have become sick eating with the hogs so you cannot hear the true message, hence, you are in the famine. You run to your ‘church’ but you do not get fed. So you starve and end up eating with hogs. You set up your xmess tree and decorate it and buy and put those presents under it and think you are having a glorious time. But your soul is starving to death.

The young man wasted all that he had, (paying that greedy preacher, buying those presents, and helping fancy up that building, etc)… . At the end of the day, he had forgotten how to pray and get in touch with God. He had lost his faith in the gifts of the Holy Ghost. He has lost the ability to dance in the Spirit and rejoice till his cup runs over. He is now destitute. He is now in prison to this greed spirit of his hired preacher, who sent him out to feed the hogs.

That paid preacher has no manna from heaven to feed any sheep of God that are there. So they eat the hog slop that the man feeds them. That hireling then sets up easter egg hunts in the church, puts on halloween plays and trunk or treats, and they have a laughing time, but their soul is starving.

He found himself starving and would have eaten the husks fed to the hogs. He listens to the lies Sunday after Sunday, and wonders, why am I starving? I am being faithful to this prison, (opps meant church). I work in the field but I am starving. They sent me to feed the pigs and I am so hungry I eat with the pigs.

Notice, when this starving man joined himself to a certain place, they sent him to feed swine. He was so hungry but no man gave anything to him. See he runs to that church week after week, but no one is giving him anything. He hears all kinds of rumbling, but none of it feeds his soul for it is not taken from the only source of heavenly food, the King James Scripture.

They take it from baptist sunday school literature, or branham’s books, or pike’s books, or methodist headquarters books, etc. But it is still starving this man’s soul. He is not being fed anything that can nourish his soul and bring him back to health.
The ‘owner’ of that place has everyone there so intimidated that no one would dare offer this starving man any real food even if they found some.
They feed this man fairy-tales, santa, ball games, singings, just anything but nourishing FOOD.

He has now found Facebook and seeks to that for prophecies, admonition, prayers, and uplifting praise. But it is even more HOG SLOP.

He has now become so weak and sickly he will not even recognize real food when he hears it, or smells it, hence, he refuses to eat and is sick nigh unto death.

God called his people to COME OUT OF HER…. do you not ever try to find out who the HER is? Don’t you know it is very important? He said if you partake of HER SINS, you are going to partake of her PLAGUES. So you truly need to find out who SHE IS.

I will tell you because God spoke to me one night, not long after Bucky died, God spoke to me and told me SHE IS THE CHURCH.

Now you can deny this all you wish, but it is the truth. There is not one church out there today that has ANY TRUTH. They are feeding you HOG SLOP.

You are eating with hogs.

Oh I know you cannot see it. Some of you think that because you still enjoy that a little bit that makes it right. but not so. God said you must GROW. GROW IN KNOWLEDGE.

But you have not grown one tiny bit in 60 years. You still do not know one thing today that you did not think was good food sixty years ago. So you did not GROW. If a newborn baby is never fed, it will not grow. You have not been fed. You are still eating those hog husks.

You think nothing about keeping all the idol holidays. You think nothing about lying about others and gossiping about them. Some of you can steal, cheat and all kinds of evil and still believe you are a Christian. You have been blinded and fed hog slop till you are too sick to know anything about truth.

But for the man in our story, he had a good turn. I can only hope some of you also COME TO YOURSELVES.
He came to himself and realized “hey my Father’s servants have plenty of food and I am here in a hog pen starving to death’. How foolish I was. I will arise and return to my Father and ask him to make me one of his hired servants. Then I can eat.

I am not going to finish the story for you know how it ends and that is not my message. My message is COME OUT OF HER AND STOP EATING WITH HOGS.

Overcoming Evil Thoughts

Please read this email that I copied from Facebook. He is the father of the 7 yr. Old girl that got killed by the UPS driver. May God give this family strength and protection as they go through this awful time.

I can’t quiet my mind and I have to share this. A friend just asked me the other day if I believe God speaks to people? I happen to know He does, as He is speaking to me now. This flesh, this man that I am, is angry and I want 5 minutes alone in a cell with the psycho that took our Athena away from us, but there’s a soft gentle voice in the back of my head telling me I need to forgive him. This flesh man, wants that psycho to burn in hell for all eternity, yet that gentle voice continues to tell me, I need to forgive him. This flesh man hopes he remains blind and deaf to the message of salvation and never sets foot in the same heaven that I know in my heart my darling Athena resides in now and yet, that gentle voice persists. Why you ask? Because Hate is a powerful force that will take root in your soul. God wants to protect us all from that hate. Hate is the gateway for the Evil we see growing in the world today. If you stood that man before me right now, because of the hate that’s trying to root itself in my mind, I would probably kill him. Then that hate would root itself in my heart and I would be destroyed. That gentle voice is the Holy Spirit of God speaking to me right now. He’s reminding me that my savior Jesus, willingly laid Himself on a cross and died in my place to reconcile me to God the Father, but also that He did that for All of Us, even this man that my flesh so Hates at this very moment. I am a sinful man, yet I’ve heard this voice before and I miss hearing this voice. If I allow this hate to consume me, that voice will fade and eventually be silenced. Then that ugly spirit of hate will have succeeded and that’s why this gentle voice persists to tell me I need to forgive this man. It’s for my protection and my peace. It’s to set me free from this hate and allow me to continue to hear God’s gentle voice. There’s not one ounce of my flesh that wants to do this or say this, but my spirit has heard God’s voice and right now, while tears flood my eyes, I declare publicly that I forgive this man! Hate will not win. I hope my family will understand that I don’t do this for the sake of this man. I do this for the sake of my family and myself and to Honor the voice of God who is giving me the strength to say this. I do this to honor our precious Athena who knew no hate. This man won’t be allowed any real estate to live in my brain, he belongs to God and God’s justice will done. Love Conquers All and Forgives. Today, I choose Love and hate loses.

Just Remember

words of wisdom:
Never forget
Jesus said, Satan has deceived the whole world.
so when the whole world seems in agreement on a certain thing or saying or …
just remember, if the whole world agrees, it has to be WRONG.
If satan deceived the whole world, then anything that is highly esteemed among men is an abomination to God.
Luke said that.
so, before you go thinking someone is crazy just because they say something that everyone else thinks is uh cool, think about this… if the whole world seems to agree with the thing, there is almost no chance that it is the right thing.
so be careful before you judge someone as crazy cause they just might be the one who has it right.

some things better if I do not say them, but at times I truly want to.

Prove It

EVER notice how all these millions of churched folks, who declare that they have the truth, NEVER, BUT NEVER GIVE US ONE SINGLE ANSWER. WHY? why can’t they take Scripture and defend or prove what they declare to be true? one God and his name is Jesus?? so prove it. prove that there was no God in heaven while Jesus was forming in Mary. Prove she gave birth to a BABYGOD. why can’t you all answer? sure you are not going to answer to me, but at least ask yourself, why can’t I answer? why don’t I know where it is in the word of God. why is all of your church doctrine TOTALLY OUTSIDE SCRIPTURE? why is none of your cherished holidays not once named in Scripture, EXCEPT TO CONDEMN IT?

Jeremiah 4

Many interesting things here in these verses. Heard somebody say that verse 23 happened in Genesis. I say: NO! This has not happened yet. What are your thoughts on this chapter?

1¶If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.2And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.3¶For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.4Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.5¶Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.6Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.7The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.8For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.9And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.10Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.11At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,12Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.13Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.14O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?15For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.16Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.17As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.18Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.19My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.20Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.21How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?22For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.23I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.24I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.25I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.26I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.27¶For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.28For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.29The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.30And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.31For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

A Higher Calling

A Higher Calling ~ By: Jo Smith ~~ December 7. 2018

Philippians 3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

The above is the only two times in all of God’s word that the word ‘prize’ is mentioned. Seems that Paul is the only one who had this great revelation of a high calling which is a great PRIZE.

God has just revealed to me what that higher calling is. He has shown me what that PRIZE IS. You cannot say it is eternal life or the glorified body, for this is not for just one or a special few. But see that Paul said only one would receive this PRIZE. Many are running in this race, but only one will get to that goal or the Mark of that Prize. So what is this prize? What is this higher calling? (Does not mean just 1 person; but it means the ONE who diligently seeks for this prize).

Let’s go back to Moses for a starting place to find this answer.
Exodus 14: 15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? SPEAK unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 16 but lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

(This DIVIDING is part of that high prize; divide the night from the day). Work of Apostles and we who reach this higher calling.

This puzzled me when I first heard it. ‘why cry to me? SPEAK to the children of Israel. God told Moses, why are you crying to me? You can speak and you can divide that sea.

Marvelous. So Moses had advanced beyond having to cry unto the Lord for everything. He had been told by God to just SPEAK AND IT SHALL BE.

Hosea 6:3
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

You have a goal to reach. You have 100 miles to travel. You ask directions. Someone said, go right here. That will get you there. So you take that first step and stop. But that only got you a foot down that long road. But it was a start.

So now you wish to end up in heaven and you ask directions. Someone says, just BELIEVE. That will get you there. But that is just the first STEP. That is just a starting place. You must then FOLLOW on to KNOW THE LORD.

You BELIEVE. But you must come to KNOW. It is not the same thing. Would you say, I believe that I have a mother? No. You KNOW that you have a Mother. It is not something you just believe. It is the same way with God. Millions believe but they never follow on to KNOW THE LORD.

Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Over and over and over Jesus told people to FOLLOW me. He did not say BELIEVE ME.

Matthew 19:21
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.

Here Jesus is speaking of that prize. The way to obtain this prize is to FOLLOW JESUS.

We must follow him all the way. Not to church. Not to a party. Not to prayer. We must follow on till we can SPEAK the Word and it will be.

(Now don’t get me wrong, Prayer is to be used along the way. But I am going to show you a higher calling than Prayer). If you never get beyond praying you did not reach the goal.

Believing is not enough; it must bear fruit: Mark 16:17
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
These signs MUST FOLLOW believing. This gets you further down that road toward that mark of the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. But it is not the end of the way nor is it the prize.

Luke 9:23
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Now here we get a few more instructions on how to reach that goal. Deny yourself daily, take up your cross and follow Jesus.

John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
You must know the voice of Jesus to follow him. He must know you.

John 12:26
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Now here is a part of that goal you are reaching for…. to be where he is. He could speak and it happened.

Here is more instruction on how to reach this great goal: 1 Timothy 6:11
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Follow after RIGHTEOUSNESS, godliness, faith love patience and meekness. We must obtain these Godly attributes.

This shows you how to help reach that goal:
2 Timothy 2:22
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Flee lusts and follow righteousness.

Matthew 9:6
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

Read that verse carefully. It did not say, so that ye may know I am God, as many lying preachers say. It said, that ye may KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN has power on earth to forgive sins.

HE also showed here that he had power to heal the sick. This is part of reaching that end goal. Jesus later told his disciples, whosoever sins you remit they are remitted. Or you may retain them. See, they also had power to do this. It is part of that goal.

Here we see Jesus in full possession of that prize = knowing that what he speaks will be:
John 12:50
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Now I want to show you how Jesus spoke when He had reached that lofty goal for the mark of the Higher calling in God:
John 11: 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

Martha told Jesus, I know that whatsoever you ASK he will give it thee. He, speaking from KNOWING, NOT BELIEVING, said, Thy brother shall rise again.

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Notice something very important to understanding the higher calling… Jesus was not praying here. He was not asking God….
He was thanking God for he said, I knew that you hear me always, but because of the people I said it, that they may believe that you sent me.

Jesus was not trying to make folks believe that he was God; He wanted them to know that God sent him. He had reached that higher calling. He had reached that prize. He knew He could now just SPEAK AND IT WOULD BE DONE. BUT He did not want the glory for himself. He wanted it to still go to God, his Father.

He had reached that place where Moses stood when God said to Moses, why cry to me; just speak to the people.

So Jesus spoke to the dead and the dead arose. He had reached that higher calling.

Now to show you proof of how Paul had reached this lofty goal. (and when I said only one can reach it, that does not mean the number 1. It means the one who truly presses toward that mark. You truly seek it and do all you can to reach it. I have shown here a few of the things one must do to reach this higher calling.)

Acts 13:11
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

Notice that Paul did not get down on his knees and pray or stand and pray and ask God to strike this man blind. He just SPOKE IT. He knew he had the faith and the power to do this. He had reached that goal; He had that prize.

Acts 8: 18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

Here Peter exhibits the same high calling: He had the power and knowledge to judge this man and set him apart as defying God. He told this man you have no part with us in this matter. Peter did not have to pray and ask God to show him what to do about this. He already knew.

There are many other instances in the Word of God that prove the actions of one who has reached this higher calling.
But the main one I wish to get to in this message is here:

Psalm 149:
Let the saints be joyful in glory:
let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7
to execute vengeance upon the heathen,
and punishments upon the people;
8
to bind their kings with chains,
and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9
to execute upon them the judgment written:
this honour have all his saints.
Praise ye the Lord.

Yes, the ultimate goal is to be in this group of people who are set to bring the wrath of the Lamb on this earth and to cleanse it from all the wickedness, violence and evil that is upon it.

We will know who is and who is not serving God. We will have been given the power to speak destruction to them.
We will have been given the power to execute all the written judgments on them.

We will be SPEAKING this on them. It is something that only those who reach this HIGHER CALLING will be able to understand or do.

Rev 11: 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

See these witnesses of Jesus will have power to SPEAK wrath upon the ungodly. They will have FIRE coming out of their MOUTHS as they SPEAK judgment on this sinful world.
They will not be walking around PRAYING. They will be SPEAKING.

SO THE ABILITY TO SPEAK IS A HIGHER CALLING THAN PRAYING.
KNOWING IS A HIGHER CALLING THAN BELIEVING.

Believing will only get you started. It will not cause you to reach that end goal. You must FOLLOW ON TO KNOW…. YES, KNOW THAT YOU CAN SPEAK AND IT WILL BE….YOU CAN SPEAK TO A STORM AND IT WILL OBEY YOU.

JESUS DID NOT KNEEL AND PRAY AND ASK GOD TO STOP THAT STORM. HE SPOKE TO IT AND IT STOPPED.
I know, most of you think he was God so you will never know any truth.

Praise our Holy God for this great message of a HIGHER CALLING.

Jesus Said

Sometimes I have so much on my mind, so many Scriptures to cover, that it is hard to even know where to begin writing the message that God has given to me.
That is how it is now. so much to say; where to begin.

Well, I finally made a start. almost certainly will not finish this message tonight. It is just too much.
But Here is the introduction to one of the greatest mysteries in the Word of God.

Jesus said
By: Jo Smith …. .. Dec 6, 2022

Some people want to tell you what this preacher said, what that prophet said, this teacher, that and that and that. In the end what good does it do anyone? Not one bit.

But what did Jesus say? That is what counts and gives us eternal life.
Jesus told us exactly how things will go from the beginning to the end. So, study to shew yourselves approved to God. Search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life and they are they which testify of me.
If what ‘they’ said and what you read, does not testify of Jesus Christ, then it is not Scripture and will do you no good.

Jesus Christ is the subject of Scripture from Genesis one through Revelation 22. Genesis one? Sure. that is all about Jesus, not the ‘creation’ of a universe. Surprise!

Revelation? Not about an antichrist. It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, as told by an angel to John the Baptist. The last OT type prophet.

Something To Ponder

I have a deep, long message that I need to write up for you. but for now, I am just going to show you a tiny bit of it till I feel up to writing the full message. It is a thrill to see into the word of God this way and come out from under all the lies preceding.
In Mt 24, Jesus is laying out the events that will transpire from then till the end.

He is showing us how to know where we are.
Mt 24: 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

See, he said after the GOSPEL of the kingdom has been preached in all the world, the end will come.

Now watch this:
Revelation 10
King James Version
10 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

end of time. when? after the gospel has been preached to all the world.
those in the SEA group =OT law.
and those in the EARTH group – NT church group.

Beginning at the crucifixion and resurrection the gospel was preached to all the world.
by what?
How beautiful upon the mountains are the FEET of those who preach THE GOSPEL.
Having your FEET shod with the preparation of the GOSPEL.

So when the right FOOT or preaching of the gospel was done to that SEA group
and the left FOOT or preaching to the EARTH group was finished.
then the END CAME.
TIME SHALL BE NO MORE.

More to come..study the two times the ‘woman’ goes into the wilderness/. A mighty mystery is hidden there.

Jo Smith
