Flee, save your lives.

Jer. 48:6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. ( yes people it time to flee or run fast as you can if you want to save your lives. It is time to come out of her my people. People, be like the heath and join the ones in the wilderness. The true church of the living God. Yes, there is destruction on it way to the church system. Destruction that the eyes have never seen and ears have never heard. Don’t say you have not been warned, because you have many, many times. As long as you sit there in these churches you are partakers of her sins and you will receive her plagues. Woe unto the, that will not hear the voice of one crying out in the wilderness that a great destruction will soon be on these false churches. Woe unto the, that does not have ears to hear the trumpet sounding. These churches are built on sinking sand. They are as a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand. Flee from the great wrath to befall on the church system. People, you are putting your life in serious danger along with your children.

4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. 
5 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
These little ones are the few in numbers in the wilderness and we are crying out to be heard because we have heard and we are the enemy of the church system. We continue to cry out but it is as though we are not heard. We will soon not be required of God to blow the trumpet. Again, as said before Flee,save your lives while there is time. Soon the voice of the trumpet will be exceeding loud. The noise of the trumpet will be so loud that those standing afar off will hear. The noise will cause the church system and all in it will trembled because of the shaking and they know the end is near. She is shaken of a mighty wind and there is great destruction. No one will be saved. They had been warned but they were at ease. We have blown an alarm with the trumpets.
Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

Jer. 48:26 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the Lord: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. ( in other words take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. Who was he that magnified himself against the Lord. Eze will tell us Ezekiel 28 King James Version (KJV)
28 1The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. ( yes it was Adam that magnified himself and the church is doing the same thing as Adam. They have brought up another jesus ( Adam) and yes the church is worshipping Adam. The church has become as God. They are wallowing in Adam vomit and making a mockery.of the true church.
Yes, the dog returneth to his vomit and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. While they are ridiculing and laughing at the true ministers of God. God said ” I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

These churches set up organizations by man. God never required this. It is from man. They have their UPC, CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, UNITED METHODIST, BAPTIST, JEHOVAH WITNESS and so many more. As I said these organizations are man made. Organization is not even mentioned in scriptures. Millions of people are being deceived by these churches. these people need flee to the New Jerusalem and come out from the old Jerusalem which is law with all the thy shall not do this thou shall not do that. Those 10 commandments, Which is under Moses the law giver. We are no more under the law of Moses. We are under the law of God which is grace, which is by Jesus Christ. John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Them so called men of God wants to keep you under law because that is where their riches come from. They take you back to the book of Malachi 3:10 which says Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse. They can not go in the New Testament and show you where anyone in the New Testament ever paid tithes. Jesus done away with all those laws and ordinances. 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. Once again people need to flee and run as fast as you can from these man made rules and regulations. They tell you what you can do and can’t do. But what they really stress is pay your tithes.

This was what my so-called pastor at one time and now a bishop and assistance pastor said.
THE NEED OF BEING CONSISTENT” IN OUR WALK WITH GOD! E CAN ONLY PLEASE GOD WITH CONSISTENCY!!
Live for God, “Every Day” ( not only on Sunday ) Be Consistent Daily! Attend Church Consistently, not only on Easter and Christmas! 
Missing a lot of Services is not being Consistent in our Church Going! Our Worship and Praise need to be Consistent in our Services! 
We need to be Consistent in our Tithes and Offerings, ( On Every Pay Check ), without skipping any whatsoever…We need to be 
Consistent in showing ourselves FRIENDLY not just once and awhile, but Consistently!! We Thank God for those that are Consistent at the Colbert Lighthouse Pentecostal Church, we Pray for those that are not, to start being consistent….JUST MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY! end of what he said.

The true Israel of God has warned the people of this great destruction that was coming to the church time after time after time.They are polluted by the worldly churches.Yet they refuse to hear and will not flee from this evil Adam. They will never escape if they refuse to hear the warning that God has placed the trumpet in the hands of the true trumpteer.

Jer. 48:10…. 10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. ( they are cursed because they are doing the work of the Lord deceitfully and it is nothing but a job to them where they get paid good money. They are holding back his sword which is the word of God and is blood money. Cursed be the man that trusteth in man. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse. Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. What was that tree? The tree of the knowledge of good and eviL, which is law.

O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? You have been warned by the true Jeruslem. flee from your idolatry. People in Judaea flee into the mountains which is the true Israel of God. There is safety there. Proverbs 18:10 [Full Chapter]
The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
People once again the Lord is calling you to Flee, save your lives, your children’s life depend on this.

~~~~~ Their eyes were blinded ~~~~

Isaiah 6:5. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

6. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

7. And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

9. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

10. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

11. Then said I, Lord, how long? and he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

12. And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

In verse 5, the Prophet said I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. After he had been cleansed, he was told to go tell THIS people (Who? those O.T. Jews) — Hear but don’t understand; see, but perceive not.

Shut their eyes lest they see, and their ears, so they cannot understand and convert and be healed.

How Long Lord? Until the cities be wasted and the land utterly DESOLATE.

See, this is the same I have taught on other messages —- that old Jerusalem was made DESOLATE. Why? Because they clung to Moses (law) after Jesus (grace) came.

Verse 12 — the Lord removed men far away — into the N.T.

**********************

Isaiah 29: 9. Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

10. For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

11. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

12. And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

13. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

14. Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

15. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

16. Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

17. Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

18. And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

19. The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off.

Here in verse 9, the O.T. people are told to wonder at the ones on the Day of Pentecost — for they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

This is prophecy about the actions of those N.T. converts when they were Baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Now, verse 10–The O.T. unbelievers were told the same thing Isaiah prophesied in Chapter six — that God had poured upon them the spirit of deep sleep, and had closed their eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

See, God had closed their eyes (understanding) so they could not believe — why? Because they clung to Moses (law) after Jesus (grace) came.

See then it told that they could not understand the Book of the Lord.

The next verses tell how they lost their wisdom and thought God did not see them in their sins.

Verse 16, is speaking to the apostles who had turned the world upside down. It was esteemed as the potter’s clay – God making us into His new image = the Christian.

They turned it into a fruitful field. In that day the deaf (the Gentiles) heard the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind began to see; For Jesus had turned to the N.T. People to take His people out of there.

******************

John 12: 34. The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

35. Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

36. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

37. But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

38. That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39. Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

40. He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

41. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

Now in the above Scripture, we see the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophesy: v40- He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

So see, that the Law group who held to Moses after Jesus came, were blinded and could not see or understand and believe. They COULD NOT BELIEVE – BECAUSE THAT LAW BLINDED THEM — IT IS DARKNESS —- IT IS DEATH —– THE LORD SAID THEY WERE IN DARKNESS — THIS IS WHY THEY CANNOT BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLES OF GOD FOR OUR DAY —- THEY CANNOT BELIEVE IN HOLY DREAMS, VISIONS, GOD TALKING WITH US, ANGELIC VISITS, OR ANY OF THE OTHER GLORIOUS THINGS RECORDED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT —– THEY ARE BLIND.

So says this word. It clearly identified the ones who hold to Moses, or Law, as the ones He is speaking of who are blinded and in darkness.

The poor man, full of sores, lay at the gate of the Rich man, wanting the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table.
But the poor man was never nourished enough to recover his health, so he died.

The Rich man had more than he needed, so instead of sharing, he tore down barns and built bigger and stored his goods.

But one night God required his soul at him and he ended up lost.

Now, question: 
Do you know who this rich man is?

Do you know who this poor man is and what his sores are?

Do you know what the crumbs falling from the rich man’s table is?

If now, why have you not sought to God for this much-needed answer?

Are you perhaps that poor man? Are you trying to feed your soul with his crumbs?

I say yes, you are.

God’s word clearly identifies this Rich man.

The Laodecian CHURCH says, I AM RICH and increased with goods.

BUILDS BIGGER AND MORE EXPENSIVE BARNS WHILE THE POOR AND IGNORANT BEGGER dies at his table.

Yes, folks that rich man is your CHURCH and you are that poor begger wanting only the CRUMBS falling from that rich man’s table… = 
singing and xmess plays, and parties and easter bunnies and hunging eggs, and listening to his lies.

This abominable junk is the rich man’s crumbs and also the begger’s sores. 
No healing for your wound.

THAT IS THE SCRIPTURE TRUTH. GOD TOLD US WHO THIS RICH MAN IS. 
how did he become so rich?

robbing you poor folks.

He robbed you both spiritually and financially.

Fallen Church

Revelation 11 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

What is meant by this measuring? It is talking about the time that this temple is in power. It also includes the COUNTED one hundred forty and four thousand people of God. But remember this is not a literal number. it is the true people of God who received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, beginning on the Day of Pentecost.
The first true move of God in earth began with the birth of Jesus Christ. That is when the WEEK of Genesis one begins.

That week takes in the ministry of Jesus and then the Apostolic Church in Acts. Afterward, it moves to the anointed people of God at the end of the church time.
That is the first part of the temple of God and his true Altar and true worship therein.

That time is COUNTED OR MEASURED. It is the thousand two hundred and threescore days.

When that time ended, the next thing happens: the Gentiles take over and trample the truth underfoot. God showed me this morning that this chapter is NOT ABOUT NATURAL ISRAEL AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE.

If you think this is the answer you will never find the truth of this.

It is not about them. It is about NT times.

That first group is the Apostolic Church in the book of Acts. They are this measured group. They are spiritual Jews.

Then…. yes, then, the Gentiles took over. That is the SEVEN CHURCHES in Revelation. Those are Gentile churches. This does not mean a certain race of folks. It means those who did not receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and therefore changed all the truth of God into a lie.

They began telling the world that Mary’s little baby was actually the eternal God, come down in human flesh. That is lies and will not stand in the Kingdom of Christ or God.

These ‘gentiles’ trampled all the truth of God and changed every single word of God. They brought in all the heathen idol holidays of the past, including Saturnalia which is the worship of the sun god, Saturn. They changed the name of this holiday to Christmas, in order to deceive the few Christians who were still left, into accepting this evil.

They brought in the pagan Easter and pretended it was for the resurrection of Jesus. And so they beguiled the entire church system and caused it to trample all of God’s truth and His way of true Worship. They are trampling the Holy City under their feet.

They brought up a trinity doctrine and called Jesus a second person of a Godhead. They even claim that the Holy Ghost is a man and a third person. The entire church fell for this evil teaching. The few who stood against it were killed. Later part of this deceived church began denying the Father and saying that Jesus, that human baby, is the Father and the only God. Jesus himself called this doctrine a lie.

Then they set up a theater-style church system, complete with priests, which God had done away with. They set the people to being just spectators of a program. Hence, the people lost all knowledge of how to worship in Spirit and in truth.

We are not told any certain number of folks who fall into this category. This fallen ‘church’ now denies the baptism of the Holy Ghost and actually mocks it. The people are told that there is no such thing as spirits or gifts of the Spirit. They are now told that Jesus does not heal anymore or any other miracles happen. Thus this church is dead and lifeless.

They trample the truth of God and his Temple for those forty-two months. It is not man’s time. It is a spiritual thing.

But what the men who taught all of this have missed is that this is the seven churches in Revelation. Scripture makes this very clear by the fact that Satan’s seat is in these churches.

They have deceived millions of people into thinking they are going to heaven when they have absolutely no connection with the true God.

They can set their santa clauses right up in their homes, and still claim to have the Holy Ghost and they do not have a clue that they are totally trampling the true Worship of Jesus under their feet.

This group of deceived folks, called the seven churches, trample the temple of God and uphold this temple of satan, thus causing billions of deceived people to end up in hellfire thinking they were on their way to heaven…… thinking they could defy God and still hold to and worship their idols and be in with God at the same time. It is total lies and will cause this world to be destroyed.

Notice that the sixth church was given an open door. So what is that? It is Jesus calling them to COME OUT OF HER. He is standing outside the ‘door’ with the door still open and calls his people to come out before that dead system of Laodicea sets in fully.

The few who heard this call and went through that open door are now out in a new wilderness with our Lord, being fed his TRUTH. The ones who loved their idols too much to come out and forsake that evil system are still in that church in its Laodicean condition when the door is closed and they are caught in that evil cage with no way out.

They heard the call given by those who went out that door to meet our Lord in this wilderness, they heard us calling them to give up their idols and come out also. But they refused. So now that open door closes and they are trapped in that cage of every hateful and unclean bird. They now cannot get out. It is too late.

Now all the idol-loving, preacher-worshiping lie-believing people are trapped and it is now time to bring upon them and this sinful world the Wrath of the Lamb of God, who died for them, and called them to come out of that evil church system that denies every truth of God.

So God again anoints another True Church with power from on High to bring this wrath on this world. This group of truth-loving people now receive the Baptism of Fire. They now have that Fire of God coming out of their mouth, (words they speak). With this new power of Fire from God, they now take vengeance on those who stayed in that idol-worshiping gentile church.

Their time is called the TIME, TIMES AND HALF A TIME in the Word of God. When this TIME is finished, TIME will be no more and all wicked, santa claus loving folks will be cast into the lake of fire and destroyed forever.

This is the second Witness and they will finish up all the mysteries of God. This is that second half of the week in Genesis one. So see how Scofield and others misled the people with their foolish lies because they thought it pertained to natural Israel instead of that first Holy Ghost baptized Church in the Book of Act. That group is the Israel of God; not a natural people who never accepted Jesus Christ.

So see, that Week is SEVEN DAYS. In order to equally divide seven days, you must have three and a half….and another three and a half.
This is those two witnesses, with the seven gentile satanic churches coming in between.

What a glorious revelation. Praise my God for showing me this, this morning.

By: Jo Smith .. Jan 3, 2019…. My first message this year.

Which Temple are you looking for?

By: JO Smith  …. April 10, 2019

Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

I am amazed to see so many people today, still under the carnal idea that we are waiting for a third natural temple, or building to be built in what is the earthly Jerusalem.  They seem to believe the big lie that this is somehow connected with the coming of our Lord back to earth.

I just wonder, where did this delusion come from?  Why are people still so ignorant of what the Word of God truly does teach?  I say you are in rebellion to God and refuse to study his word, as Jesus commanded us to do.

In Psalm 119 we are told the entrance of God’s word gives us understanding.  so I can only assume you have not let the word of God come into your mind.

Jer. 7:  4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. 

See that?  three times, lying words…. the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.  Why three times?  It is now the big lie,  the THIRD temple is fixing to be built.  We have to wait for this third man-made temple to be built before Jesus returns.

Are those buildings the temple of the Lord?  No, it is lying words.  Yet just in the last few days I have run into this several times of people believing this lie of a third natural temple having something to do with the return of Jesus.

Mat. 26: At the last came two false witnesses, 61 and said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 

John 2:19-21 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

See the Jews thought only of a natural building as the temple, but Jesus showed the truth, that his body is the true Temple of the Lord.

The carnal mind is enmity with God.  It is the enemy.  the natural man receives not the things of God for to him it is foolishness.  The natural interpretation of Scripture is the carnal mind which is the dust which is the serpent’s meat or spiritual food. 

The big deception that the Jews is the natural people in a natural land is why this deception of a natural temple is what almost everyone sees of thinks.

If they would study the Word of God even a little bit they could come to some truth and get out of these lies.

Paul makes it very clear that the natural people are not the people of God.

The real Jew is not a natural people.  A natural, man-made building is NOT the temple of God.  Stephen was murdered for this very message that I am writing today.  He told those old jews that God does not dwell in temples MADE WITH HANDS.

It made those carnal minded old jews so angry for they saw he was denying their natural temple, which Jesus himself showed he cared nothing for, when he said, not one stone will be left upon another.  God sent someone to tear down that natural building for it is not the temple of God.  Those religious hypocrite Jews were so angry about this message that God does not dwell in man-made temples, that they rose up and stoned Stephen to death.  (some more godly spirit, huh?)

I think in order to make this message clear you must come to see what or who the true Jew or Israelite is, in order to see what or who the true temple is.  I think both of these deceptions make up this one big lie  of a natural man-made temple having something to do with the Lord Jesus. 

Romans 2:  28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 

29 but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Now read the above.  He is NOT a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY, IN OTHER WORDS A NATURAL PERSON.

But he IS A JEW which is on INWARDLY, a spiritual person.

Gal. 4: 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

 26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

The Jerusalem which NOW IS, (means the natural city on earth) is the bond-children.  Jerusalem which IS ABOVE IS FREE, which is the mother of us all.  Means a spiritual City that began in Eve.  This is the  spiritual children and the true Jews or Israelites or God’s CHOSEN PEOPLE.

This spiritual city is the Holy Priesthood, the royal priesthood.  It has not one thing to do with any natural  people or earthly city.

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 

Cast out the bondwoman or natural Jews or Israel.   They shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman, the holy spiritual Eve, or City of God made up of Faith People, not law people.

Galatians 5 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

 

If you go back to LAW in anything, you fall from Grace.  If you return to bond children or natural Jews, you fall from Grace and salvation.  If you fall back to a natural, man-made temple you also lose your salvation for that takes you back to law or carnality.

 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 

If you take in a little law it spoils the whole thing.  A natural building for a temple is a natural thing which spoils the whole.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Unless you are led of the Spirit of God ye are back under the law and will end up lost.  This is the state of all who look to natural Israel as though they are something special above others.  Not so.  If you look to natural buildings as temples you are not led of the Spirit and are back under the law.  No faith there.  You are not free if you are under any law.

Gal 3: 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ,

This clearly teaches that the blessed seed of Abraham is CHRIST;  not natural Jews.  The promises is not to them but to us who live by faith.  We are the Israel of God.  We are the only true Jews.  We are the only true Temple of God.

 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

 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.

We who are of Faith are the blessed seed of Abraham;  not a natural people who have always rejected Jesus.

and very  important:

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. 

29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

A lot of truth is in those few verses above.  We are children of God by FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS; NOT IN KEEPING LAW OR LOOKING TO SOME TEMPLE OR NATURAL FOLKS OR CITY.

BY THE Spirit, of the Holy Ghost, are we baptized into Christ which is the blessed seed of Abraham, which is the one and only true Temple of God. 

In this Body of Christ there is  neither JEW NOR GREEK.  They are not categorized this way.  There is  neither bond nor free

there is neither MALE NOR FEMALE.

For you are ALL ONE in  Christ Jesus.

So there you have it:  a city of God….. a temple of God….. a body of Christ….. a oneness like no other.

No one ruling over anyone else.  No male ruling over a female.  No jew set up above a greek.  That does not exist in this body of Christ, which is the image of God.

In this body of Christ is no divisions.  No one is lifted above anyone else.  No Jew.  No Gentile.  No bond children;  all are free.  All in this body are the blessed seed of Abraham;  we are all the TEMPLE OF GOD.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1 Corinthians 3:16

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

1 Corinthians 3:17

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

2 Corinthians 6:16

and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Ephesians 2:21

in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

Now there is enough Scripture to prove to anyone that we are the true temple of God; not some man-made building.  (This is the very message that Stephen preached to those hypocrite Jews, who rose up and stoned him to death when they heard this.)

Now to nail down the message that Stephen preached, which got him killed:

44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. 45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; 46 who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 

47 But Solomon built him an house.

 48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 

49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

 52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

 53 who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

(Here Stephen tells those hypocrite serpent Jews, You killed all the prophets and now ye murdered the Just one).  

they were so angry at these words that they stoned Stephen to death.

54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly 

into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 and cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.

 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

It is a very sad thing, but this same murdering spirit rest on almost all church folks.  They may not kill physically, but they hate and disfellowship anyone who disagrees with their particular church lie. 

If you speak against their idolatry, their xmess, easter bunnies and eggs, etc. they will destroy you with their tongue if not real stones.  It is the very same spirit still thinking that the natural Jews are someone special.

God said he has already cursed that entire nation,  Malachi.  The apostles said they killed Jesus.

Jesus said they are guilty of all the righteous blood shed on this earth.

No message on this subject is complete with this:

Mat 23: 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 

30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

That is Jesus’ own words calling those Jews, hypocrites and SERPENTS.

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

 35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

Here Jesus condemned the natural Jews or Jerusalem as the murderers of everyone on this earth beginning with Abel.

He said they are guilty.  Why then does the entire church still look up to them as though they are something special?  and almost worship them?

Jesus pronounced them DESOLATE…… D E S O L A T E.  DESOLATE JERUSALEM.  THE ABOMINATION THAT MAKE DESOLATE.  MURDERERS OF ALL THE RIGHTEOUS BLOOD SHED ON EARTH.  OLD MOTHER HARLOTS.

I have been hated and banned more over this message than any other.  for some reason folks just cannot learn or accept the truth of those natural jews or old jerusalem.

Now for the finishing proof:

Rev 18:  18 and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

23 and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

This is the sinful kingdom on earth;  It is the merchandizing city of Adam.  He is that old serpent.  He is the head of this evil city, mystery Babylon, old Jerusalem.  Law.

Sure.  This message solidly ties it all together and proves it.

Jesus told old Jerusalem, you are guilty of all the righteous blood shed on earth.

Now Rev says old Babylon is guilty of all the slain upon the earth.  Same thing.  City of Adam.  Lion kingdom of Daniel.  Old serpent in the Garden.  King over Babylon.  Evil son of God.

Buying and selling, merchandizing = mark of the beast.  This is their trade-mark….buying and selling or preaching for money.

Peter…. You are in the gall of bitterness for you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with MONEY,   THE LOVE OR MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

This is the sinful kingdom that Jesus is going to destroy.

Rev 21: 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Glory to God for this great truth.  I have been set FREE.

Which Temple are you looking for?

By: JO Smith  …. April 10, 2019

Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

I am amazed to see so many people today, still under the carnal idea that we are waiting for a third natural temple, or building to be built in what is the earthly Jerusalem.  They seem to believe the big lie that this is somehow connected with the coming of our Lord back to earth.

I just wonder, where did this delusion come from?  Why are people still so ignorant of what the Word of God truly does teach?  I say you are in rebellion to God and refuse to study his word, as Jesus commanded us to do.

In Psalm 119 we are told the entrance of God’s word gives us understanding.  so I can only assume you have not let the word of God come into your mind.

Jer. 7:  4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. 

See that?  three times, lying words…. the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.  Why three times?  It is now the big lie,  the THIRD temple is fixing to be built.  We have to wait for this third man-made temple to be built before Jesus returns.

Are those buildings the temple of the Lord?  No, it is lying words.  Yet just in the last few days I have run into this several times of people believing this lie of a third natural temple having something to do with the return of Jesus.

Mat. 26: At the last came two false witnesses, 61 and said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 

John 2:19-21 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

See the Jews thought only of a natural building as the temple, but Jesus showed the truth, that his body is the true Temple of the Lord.

The carnal mind is enmity with God.  It is the enemy.  the natural man receives not the things of God for to him it is foolishness.  The natural interpretation of Scripture is the carnal mind which is the dust which is the serpent’s meat or spiritual food. 

The big deception that the Jews is the natural people in a natural land is why this deception of a natural temple is what almost everyone sees of thinks.

If they would study the Word of God even a little bit they could come to some truth and get out of these lies.

Paul makes it very clear that the natural people are not the people of God.

The real Jew is not a natural people.  A natural, man-made building is NOT the temple of God.  Stephen was murdered for this very message that I am writing today.  He told those old jews that God does not dwell in temples MADE WITH HANDS.

It made those carnal minded old jews so angry for they saw he was denying their natural temple, which Jesus himself showed he cared nothing for, when he said, not one stone will be left upon another.  God sent someone to tear down that natural building for it is not the temple of God.  Those religious hypocrite Jews were so angry about this message that God does not dwell in man-made temples, that they rose up and stoned Stephen to death.  (some more godly spirit, huh?)

I think in order to make this message clear you must come to see what or who the true Jew or Israelite is, in order to see what or who the true temple is.  I think both of these deceptions make up this one big lie  of a natural man-made temple having something to do with the Lord Jesus. 

Romans 2:  28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 

29 but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Now read the above.  He is NOT a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY, IN OTHER WORDS A NATURAL PERSON.

But he IS A JEW which is on INWARDLY, a spiritual person.

Gal. 4: 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

 26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

The Jerusalem which NOW IS, (means the natural city on earth) is the bond-children.  Jerusalem which IS ABOVE IS FREE, which is the mother of us all.  Means a spiritual City that began in Eve.  This is the  spiritual children and the true Jews or Israelites or God’s CHOSEN PEOPLE.

This spiritual city is the Holy Priesthood, the royal priesthood.  It has not one thing to do with any natural  people or earthly city.

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 

Cast out the bondwoman or natural Jews or Israel.   They shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman, the holy spiritual Eve, or City of God made up of Faith People, not law people.

Galatians 5 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

 

If you go back to LAW in anything, you fall from Grace.  If you return to bond children or natural Jews, you fall from Grace and salvation.  If you fall back to a natural, man-made temple you also lose your salvation for that takes you back to law or carnality.

 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 

If you take in a little law it spoils the whole thing.  A natural building for a temple is a natural thing which spoils the whole.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Unless you are led of the Spirit of God ye are back under the law and will end up lost.  This is the state of all who look to natural Israel as though they are something special above others.  Not so.  If you look to natural buildings as temples you are not led of the Spirit and are back under the law.  No faith there.  You are not free if you are under any law.

Gal 3: 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ,

This clearly teaches that the blessed seed of Abraham is CHRIST;  not natural Jews.  The promises is not to them but to us who live by faith.  We are the Israel of God.  We are the only true Jews.  We are the only true Temple of God.

 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

 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.

We who are of Faith are the blessed seed of Abraham;  not a natural people who have always rejected Jesus.

and very  important:

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. 

29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

A lot of truth is in those few verses above.  We are children of God by FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS; NOT IN KEEPING LAW OR LOOKING TO SOME TEMPLE OR NATURAL FOLKS OR CITY.

BY THE Spirit, of the Holy Ghost, are we baptized into Christ which is the blessed seed of Abraham, which is the one and only true Temple of God. 

In this Body of Christ there is  neither JEW NOR GREEK.  They are not categorized this way.  There is  neither bond nor free

there is neither MALE NOR FEMALE.

For you are ALL ONE in  Christ Jesus.

So there you have it:  a city of God….. a temple of God….. a body of Christ….. a oneness like no other.

No one ruling over anyone else.  No male ruling over a female.  No jew set up above a greek.  That does not exist in this body of Christ, which is the image of God.

In this body of Christ is no divisions.  No one is lifted above anyone else.  No Jew.  No Gentile.  No bond children;  all are free.  All in this body are the blessed seed of Abraham;  we are all the TEMPLE OF GOD.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1 Corinthians 3:16

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

1 Corinthians 3:17

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

2 Corinthians 6:16

and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Ephesians 2:21

in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

Now there is enough Scripture to prove to anyone that we are the true temple of God; not some man-made building.  (This is the very message that Stephen preached to those hypocrite Jews, who rose up and stoned him to death when they heard this.)

Now to nail down the message that Stephen preached, which got him killed:

47 But Solomon built him an house.

 48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 

49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

 52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

 53 who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

(Here Stephen tells those hypocrite serpent Jews, You killed all the prophets and now ye murdered the Just one).  

they were so angry at these words that they stoned Stephen to death.

54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly

 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

It is a very sad thing, but this same murdering spirit rest on almost all church folks.  They may not kill physically, but they hate and disfellowship anyone who disagrees with their particular church lie.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

That is Jesus’ own words calling those Jews, hypocrites and SERPENTS.

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

 35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

Jesus pronounced them DESOLATE…… D E S O L A T E.  DESOLATE JERUSALEM.  THE ABOMINATION THAT MAKE DESOLATE.  MURDERERS OF ALL THE RIGHTEOUS BLOOD SHED ON EARTH.  OLD MOTHER HARLOTS.

I have been hated and banned more over this message than any other.  for some reason folks just cannot learn or accept the truth of those natural jews or old jerusalem.

Now for the finishing proof:

Rev 18:  18 and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

23 and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

This is the sinful kingdom on earth;  It is the merchandizing city of Adam.  He is that old serpent.  He is the head of this evil city, mystery Babylon, old Jerusalem.  Law.

Sure.  This message solidly ties it all together and proves it.

Jesus told old Jerusalem, you are guilty of all the righteous blood shed on earth.

Now Rev says old Babylon is guilty of all the slain upon the earth.  Same thing.  City of Adam.  Lion kingdom of Daniel.  Old serpent in the Garden.  King over Babylon.  Evil son of God.

Buying and selling, merchandizing = mark of the beast.  This is their trade-mark….buying and selling or preaching for money.

Peter…. You are in the gall of bitterness for you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with MONEY,   THE LOVE OR MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

This is the sinful kingdom that Jesus is going to destroy.

Rev 21: 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Glory to God for this great truth.  I have been set FREE.

Waves of the Sea…..January 2, 2020

[my first message this year]. By: Jo Smith

Rev 17 : 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Jude 1:13

raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

In order to understand Scripture you must first learn its language.  It uses natural terms to show spiritual things.  Now these things do happen in the natural.  But to understand the Word of God you must be able to see it as spiritual for it is spiritual.

In studying for many years I came to see that ‘sea’ equals the law system of the OT.  Earth equals the church system of the NT.  And of course Heaven is the true spirit-filled people of God.

So in light of this we see that ‘sea’ also shows the masses of unsaved people on earth.  It is the nations that do not serve God or truth.  So with that is mind let’s study about these WAVES OF THE SEA.

Psalm 89:9

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them

WE will learn that the nations of ungodly men and that law system have raged against men since time began.  There is a lot to this, but I am only going to put in a short amount.

Psalm 93:4

The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

This shows that the Lord is much greater than any of these nations or waters.  The waters on which the whore sits is the nations, kindreds peoples and tongues.  If you study my message on the Mother of Harlots you will be in for a shock and a much needed  truth with which to interpret the Word of God.

Most people believe the lie that Rome is the mother of harlots in Scripture. Not true. Old Jerusalem is.  Old law system.  So the knowledge of this is necessary to ever get the Word of God truly understood.

Psalm 107:29

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Jesus proved this when the storm had filled their boat.  He was asleep and the boat was about to be sunk in the violent storm.  It is showing that as people, especially church people, have allowed themselves to become lukewarm against God, Jesus was asleep in their lives.  Because of this the storms have about sunk them, the church and the nations.  But when they awakened Jesus He rose and rebuked the storm and they were saved.  It is the RAGING of the waves that is the problem.

Isaiah 48:18

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

So we see here that if you obey the Lord you will have peace as a river and as waves of a calm sea.

Isaiah 51:15

But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: the Lord of hosts is his name.

God shows here that when the waves ROAR or rage he will divide that sea.

Jeremiah 5:22

fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

God  set a boundary that the sea cannot pass over no matter how they toss or rage.  God will not allow them to totally destroy his creation.

Jeremiah 31:35

Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:

So the day is when Jesus or the sun himself is doing the leading or teaching.  The moon and stars are night light or church/law.  When the  sea begins to roar or rage, God will divide it.  That is what we have been experiencing.

All during the past century we have seen wars and divisions everywhere.  But now that we have reached another time, 2020, which shows perfect vision, we are going to come into a peaceful age.

Jeremiah 51:42

The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

Babylon is Adam’s kingdom or mankind living for self.  It is law, church and just sinful living.  So the waves of the sea have covered their multitude and God will destroy that system.  This will give the rest who are left, peace.  No more wars.  No more division.

Jeremiah 51:55

because the Lord hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

When the waves of Babylon (sea) is raging the voice of God is silenced.  Therefore she is spoiled.

Ezekiel 26:3

therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.

Tyrus is actually Adam/satan.  So God is going and has already in past time, caused many nations to come up against this carnal system.  In the end these raging waves will destroy that evil kingdom of Adam or sinners, off this entire earth.  THEN THE ENTIRE EARTH WILL HAVE PEACE AND QUIETNESS.  Isa 14.

Zechariah 10:11

And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

This is when God will finally destroy the sinful nation off this earth.

Luke 21:25

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

AT the end of time we will see these signs and are now seeing them.  The church system, the natural nations are all in distress as the waves roar.  We will soon see  all of this brought to a peaceful end.

Acts 27:41

And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

The above was showing the ending as Jesus said, nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom.  Now those two seas, or the church and law systems, break the ship with their violence.  They will fall and never rise again for they both taught rebellion against God.

And here we see the finishing of this evil system that has fought against God since Adam rebelled:

Jude 12-14 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Those old spirits and men of old is these spots, clouds, winds, trees and raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;  they are wandering stars who will never come into God’s Holy kingdom, but will be cast into outer darkness forever.

Amen. 

Caught Up In The Weeds

Sis. Jo Smith was telling about a dream that she had. She said in this dream and she was caught up in the briers and thorns. The more she tried to free herself, the more tangled she would get. She could not free herself from these thorns and briers. Then she screamed out the name of Jesus and immediately she was freed. Praise God. My question is could she called unto another jesus that the churches teach and be freed? No, she could have not. She called out to the true Jesus of scripture and she was freed quickly.

Are people in the church being set free from the weeds? no, because they are calling on the name of a false jesus. They are tangled or Caught Up In The Weeds or briers and thorns and not getting free but tangling themselves in them.

Jonah 2:5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. ( we can see here is Jonah. the weeds were wrapped around his head choking him. This is what that is happening today in the church. The weeds are choking you to death. The weeds are of this another jesus that you are getting from the ministry. People your heads are compassed around even unto your soul and strangling you to death. People you

are walking in deep waters. there is a great gulf there. You are drowning from this water and before long if you do not repent and come to the true Jesus of scripture. You are as she was and before long you are not going to be able to free yourself. The only escape is to call the name of the true Jesus. You are swallowing up or being engulfed in these waters. As The stormy sea engulfed a ship and the true Jesus is not on board and your ship is sinking

You are Caught Up In The Weeds and it as I said choking you to death.

Mark 4:7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. ( the weeds grew up and became thorns in your life and choked out the true Jesus and your fruit tree is no more yielding fruit. People the weeds or tares are now able to suffocate you. People you need to pull up the cares of this world which is weeds. You need to plow around and dress around your fruit trees. If you want a good fruit to grow on the tree. You are failing to clean around the tree and it is only growing fruit not able to eat . If you are not dressing and keeping the grass from growing the fruit tree will spring forth rotten fruit that is not able to be eaten. This is what happening Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. ( you are dying from this fruit tree because that is what you are getting from these churches. God said not eat from this tree. Clean around your tree and get set free from that law and come into grace. Women under the law you are not supposed to speak go home and ask your husband can you give a revelation that God gives you. That what the weeds or law does to you.

Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ( the woman was in much pain and labor because she could and still can not bring forth children or conceive a child under the law. The law is another jesus. This conception is not natural conception but spiritual conception. Under law her womb was dead and she could not bare a child of God or could not bare the true Jesus. Under the law, the woman is an outcast. Under the law, the woman had a desire for the things of God and under the law, it is not granted unto her. She is Caught Up In The Weeds. Under the law,, it is only a man’s kingdom. It is also a whore kingdom started by Adam.

You have not cultivated your field and pruned your fruit tree and you are getting nothing but thorns and thistles from another jesus and his brier bush. Yes, you have allowed the pastors, preachers of whatever to keep you from the true grass or fruit from the true Jesus which is grace. You are eating a rotten fruit from these churches. you are devouring this fruit and never even know where it is coming from. These preachers pastors etc. are destroying the true fruit which is the word of God. There is a drought and the true fruit tree needs water to survive. They are keeping you from the spring of water. Without water, the fruit tree is dying and so are you. you have nothing but thorns and thistles upon your altars. There is no water for the people to drink in these churches and no water for the fruit tree. There are no true ministers of God in these churches. I had to leave the church before I got any true water for my fruit tree.

The church is without a holy place. No true worship of the true Jesus Christ. No more sanctification in the church system. No more true repentance. The churches are Caught Up In The Weeds and choking the things of God They are offering a burnt sacrifice unto the Lord. They sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar, as the priest was told to do under the law.

That is the same thing that the law covenant did. The first Testament the OT was law.

Math.13:20-21 — But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

(These stony places are the same thing as the briers and thorns. We know from Scripture that the ten Commandments were written in stone.)

Mat.-13:21— Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

So we see that these briers and thorns( Old Testament covenant) will try to choke out the true word of God.

It is just like a man that has got stuck in quicksand ( miry clay) the more he tried to free himself the deeper he sunk. or like the sister in the thorns and could not free herself. So if you’re trying to build your house on sand or miry clay it is going to sink deeper and deeper. You’re building it on briers and thorns.)

Ps.40:2– He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. ( The miry clay here represents the Old Testament covenant because it was earthly.)

OK, now that we have seen that these briers and thorns were things of the Old Testament covenant. Let me try to show you something here with Cain.

In Genesis 4:7- If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. ( In other words, he gave Cain the chance to repent and bring the same offering to him as did Able, and we will see what that offering was.)

Act 3:19 — Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. ( We can see from this if Cain had repented God would have forgiven him and blotted out his sins. This also stands for the people in the church system. He will cast your sins as far as the east to west. Not from north to south because there is a starting and ending point from the north to south. but east to west has no starting or ending point)

John 2- 10. And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. (So what I am saying the New Testament way is the way to serve God. First of all,l you give all of yourself to God and you give him the best. See he saved the last for the best, he said that which is worse was that which was first those briers and thorns that we have been referring to. Be not Caught Up In The Weeds, the OT way of serving God. Refresh your mind.

Let me say this. I debated with God a whole week on this one. I said God there is no way I can do a message on this. He would show me a few things and I would forget them. Still saying, God, I know not what to say about the weeds. But I said in my spirit Ok, God I am leaving it up to you. I still have so much that if I did write it, a book could not contain it. Most of you will not even read any of it but that is your choice but there are some people that better listen to this message.

I would like to add on to the message.

Exodus 14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. ( Pharaoh, your ministers know they have you entangled and shut up. They tell you that you need to be at the church a certain time. You should not go to another’s church. You must pay tithes, you should not question him about anything? You should not try to help anyone that is down because he said they do not pay tithes. I know this is true because a pastor told me these things when I went to his church. Yes, the church belongs to him. He can tell you what he wants and it is his decision on anything and everything. He has you entangled and caught in the weeds and there is no way out of the briers and thorns. He is your prince and your king and you must obey him. You are in his prison and he also is the warden. Because he shut up the doors. The only way to get out is the one that has the key. We know who has the key and Matthew 16:19 also knows the one we know.

Jesus said …..19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ( according to this the keeper of the keys ( Peter) has the power to open and to shut. What was the key and how did Peter get the keys? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. ( Peter got the key because God gave him the revelation to who Jesus was ” Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” that is the only way to be set free from the chain that Pharaoh has around your neck. .John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ( you are no longer a slave to this master.

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; ( THE DOOR TO THE PRISON IS NOW OPEN AND YOU ARE SET FREE FROM BONDAGE AND PRISON YOU ARE NOW IN. but it is your choice, to be set free or be like the slave that said; Exodus 21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: ( whether you realize it or not you are not only making a decision for you but your children and wife or husband forever. For generation after generation.)

6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever. ( you are marked forever.)

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. ( Paul is saying here, stand firm you have been set free and do not go back to that yoke of bondage that you had around your neck. Don’t let them set a snare before you and do not go back to what you have been set free from. That yoke of bondage is what they teach, the law. You have been set free and you are now under Grace. Galatians 5:3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

People, it is a very dangerous thing to go back on God…. 2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Since the first thread has become so long I started this 2 thread. Hope no one minds. I am going to have to send this in different posts because it will not let me do it in oneI would like to bring out something that I have saw in this study about the river from Jordan. This river represents the Old Testament covenant.

Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12:7-And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of therevelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan tobuffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

What I see as the Thorn in Paul’s flesh is was that Old Testament covenant. He was having a hard time crossing over the river of Jordan. Like I said the river of Jordan represents that Old Testament covenant.

The children of Israel had to cross over the River of Jordan to get to the other side which represents the New Testament Way of serving God.

That’s the reason that Moses could not cross over into the promised land because he was the law giver and he could not take that law over in the promised land. In other words that old man had to die out. This old man represents the first man Adam that Brother John was speaking of in message number 13.

1^st Corinthians 15=

015:045=And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

015:046= Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

015:047= The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

015:048= As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

015:049= And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

So what I am seeing from this that this first man Moses which was the law giver brought forth that which was earthly. That is the reason that he could not take this law over into the promised land (which was the New Testament and what was spiritual.) He was a shadow of the first man Adam.

Now to show you second man which was spiritual and a shadow and type of Jesus Christ. Joshua was the man who was a shadow and type of Jesus Christ. He was the man that would lead God’s people to the promised land (New Testament). He was the one that would lead them over the river of Jordan. He was the one that God said to lead his people over Into the promised land. He was the one there had to bring forth to the new way of serving God. The same as Jesus Christ.

~~ What was,  what is  Blinded?   What was opened?~~

11Cor. 3: 14.  But their minds were blinded:

Eph. 1: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened

Eph. 2: 3.  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

So see that the ‘mind’ and the ‘eyes’ are the same thing.  If you are blind, then it means your mind is darkened; not understanding truth.  It causes you to fulfill the lusts of the flesh and the mind.

Eph. 3: 4.  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

See again it speaks of the ‘knowledge’.

Romans 1: 21.  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
 22.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

See here it says their heart was DARKENED.  This means their mind was blinded.

Romans 11: 10.  Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

This is also speaking of their mind being blinded.

Eph. 4: 18.  Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

This says their understanding was darkened because of the blindness of their HEART.  OR MIND.

Compare this to our first verse > the mind was blind; so this heart being blind is the mind being blind; which means lack of light, or enlightment, which is darnened.

So at one time they had their minds, or understanding, or eyes enlightened;  but then their foolish heart or mind or eyes were again darkened or blinded.

So when Adam and Eve had their eyes opened, it opened their mind up to evil.  Then God through Jesus gave us light or opened our blinded eyes; but then their foolish heart turned back to Egypt or law, and their understanding was again darkened or blinded.

Go back to 11Cor. 3.  It tells that reading the O.T. or law is what blinded their minds.

11Cor. 3: 14.  But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
 15.  But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

This is an answer to the question at Yahoo, concerning Mat 23, where Jesus said, Jerusalem killed all the prophets. this is the revelation God gave to me  when I answered this:**************In this scripture, as in many others, JERUSALEM, is NOT speaking about the earthly city, that people today call, Jerusalem.
That earthly city was first called Jebus.
It was a Canaanite city.
Go back to verse 2, It says the scribes and Pharisees sit in MOSES’ SEAT. So what is Moses’ seat? It was the LAW. Law is what is actually being spoken of here. law is the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Law killed those who broke it.
the Jews said, we have a LAW and by our LAW, Jesus ought to die. Later they said the same thing about Paul.

Notice again, in verse35, He said upon YOU may come all the righteous bloos shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous ABEL.

So this takes it all the way back to when Cain killed Abel. this was JERUSALEM. See it is not the earthly city. It is the LAW.

ADAM AND CAIN had left grace and taken the world into bondage, of LAW. When Eve and Abel clung to grace, and fought their law message, Cain killed Abel.

So this was the beginning of JERUSALEM stoning to death those who go contrary to LAW.
The STONING was of the LAW. Jesus did not allow them to stone the woman taken in adultery. why? He gave her grace; said you without sin cast the first stone.
He stopped that LAW RIGHT THERE.

Grace stops Law. So the law is what is guilty of killing all the prophets and will continue to kill all the righteous and shed their blood, until law is cast into the lake of fire.

Grace does not kill or stone people. Only in law is this done. So law killed all of them, just as Jesus said.

Only by grace can one be SAVED.

What a pity that both the JW and the rest of churches, alike, do not begin to understand the truth of Scripture and let God have his REST.  but of course most others churches do allow JEHOVAH to rest, as they do proceed under the name of Jesus Christ.But of course most of them do not understand and think that when they said FATHER, son and holy ghost, that they are abiding in truth.  NOT SO.Not for one minute.
God entered into his REST the day he set Jesus on the throne of God and said, now let all the angels of God worship MY SON and honour my SON as they honour me.  Now, only by and through and in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST is any salvation or truth to be had.
God, the father entered into his seventh day rest, THEN and now Jesus is the ruling authority.  We must be baptized in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for there mission of sin.WE MUST HEAL THE SICK IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.We must preach in the name of Jesus Christ.We can only have salvation in the name of Jesus Christ.There is no other name, given among men, whereby we must be saved BUT THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
Did you ever wonder why JEHOVAH or  Elehim, or any other name of God, is NOT MENTIONED in the NT?  It is not once truly named in the NT, BECAUSE the only acceptable name, in the NT times, is JESUS CHRIST….because God is RESTING.
He will continue to rest until Jesus has brought all enemies under his feet and subdued even death, THEN and only then, 1Cor 15, will Jesus deliver the kingdom back up to god and be subject to God.For God so decreed this.  The SDA advance this lie, pretend that Saturday is God’s rest day. What a horrible deception.  They think God operates on man’s level.
That is man’s week.  God pays no attention to such.  God set up WEEKS on grounds man knows nothing about.  During this NT WEEK. only Jesus can be used, prayed to, preached.  Paul said I know nothing among you but Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Now the JW bring up JEHOVAH and forsake Jesus Christ, thus DISGRACING THE TRUE GOD AND NOT ALLOWING HIM TO REST.
What a glorious revelation, God gave to me this very morning.

There are/were, two different COVERINGS.  Two different trees, in Eden, or the Word of God.  There were two different PEOPLE.Now,Listen.As in ADAM all DIE.  the LAW is death.  So Adam is the law covenant.  Adam, you were perfect, UNTIL INIQUITY was found in you.
God said, the solemn meeting is INIQUITY. He said, killing sheep is iniquity.  He  said, burning incenseis iniquity. He said, I hate, I despise your feast days.  He caused the law and the sabbaths to be FORGOTTEN.
Law is iniquity; law is death.  Like it or not, if you try to serve God by law, you are dead in Adam (sins and trespasses.).  As in ADAM all DIE.
 Eve = the ‘Mother’ of all LIVING.  having no death in them at all.Grace gives LIFE.  Grace is the perfect, sufficient covering.
So, Adam was the covering which is not sufficient or too short.  leaves one naked and dead.Jesus said, he that LIVETH and believe in me, SHALL NEVER DIE.
So to be in Christ, is also to be under the Grace covering, Mother Eve.

Jesus did away with that BEAST OF LAW.  He nailed it to his cross, taking it out of the way.  Thus, that seven-headed,  ten-horned beast was destroyed.Butthe church picked this beast (law) right back up and revived this old death-tree, or beast = Adam-Law.So this LAW SYSTEM OR BEAST with ten horns = ten commandments, was, is not, and yet is.
Why does almost all church-deceived-folks desire to be back under this death-tree, LAW?Why do they think running to some building on Saturday is going to get them anything from God?Why do the think tithing a few dollars to some deceiving law preacher, is going to get them more money? or blessing?
I am warning everyone who might read this, YOU HAD BETTER FLEE THAT OLD LAW SYSTEM = CHRUCH, NOW synonymous with ten horns-beast.by:

The difference is, under law, one does a thing only because he thinks he simply MUST, for the law said do it or don’t do it.  It is not truly in his heart, but a rebellious spirit is there, yet he still does a thing, out of FEAR.
Grace, it is in the heart; nature.  We do not serve God out of fear or because some law said it.  We love, for love is in our hearts.  We worship God for we love God.  We do not steal because we are not thieves.  would not steal if there had been no law.Can you see this?  this grace or love is put into us by the Spirit of God; not by some law.
Law is a big stick held over one, threatening to punish if you falter.  Grace sees no wrong.  See, when we do by nature the things contained in the LAW, we do establish the LAW, not because it is a law with us, but because we are truly RIGHTEOUS.  Not by our own self, but because God gave it to us = a holy nature; not full of sin and evil.James explained it as a horse, needing to be harnessed to keep him in line.  We do not need that YOKE of law.  we do the good, because good is in our heart.we know that ‘sabbath’ is not a day of the week, but having the rest of God, in our soul, by the Holy Ghost.We do not have to tithe because we give our all to God.  see?  It is a different world, altogether.  If you try to keep LAW, then you must kill your animal.
I hope you can see this.  God hates LAW. God is a god of grace /love.

first, LAW and GRACE are written in all books of scripture. The law is there, for those who cannot find Grace. Grace is there for the few who can find the way to eternal life, which is GRACE; NOT LAW. By Grace are you saved; not by the works of the law.

The law is a curse. God hates it. serving God out of fear, of being punished by law, is not acceptable to God.
We, the few, who found grace, worship god, not by law, but out of LOVE = GRACE.

Not one person who advocates keeping the 4th commandment, has any idea what it means. They have no idea how to obey this. They ‘think’, erroneously that running to some church on Saturday is keeping the Sabbath. Not so. not one word of that is in any scripture. They do not do one thing Moses commanded, concerning keeping that old law sabbath.

But to the grace people, we know that the baptism of the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in other tongues, as prophesied in Isa 28, is the only true SABBATH.
We do worship God 7 days a week; give our all to God. Rest completely in Him and need no works of law.

We do not need a law telling us not to steal; for we are thieves. We need not a law telling us not to kill, for we are not evil.
the law was NOT given to the righteous, but to the sinners and ungodly and wicked. Did you not know that scripture says this? Study it for yourself, if you wish to find eternal life. It is NOT IN KEEPING LAWS. BUT THE LAW IS THERE FOR YOU WHO REFUSE GRACE.

we who live by Grace, fulfill the righteousness of the LAW, because it is in our nature. We need no law, we are a law to ourselves, which is the only one God accepts. thinking you must keep a law, is not love nor is it going to get you to God. The Israelites tried it, and FAILED. so does everyone else who tries to serve God by LAW. There is no love in this. Perfect love casts out all fear. the law causes fear and death. but yes, it is still written in Scripture, for the wicked and ungodly, who need a yoke around their necks to keep them in line. Try Acts 15.

There are two covenants: the law and grace. These two cannot exist together. You are either under the law = the O.T. Covenant; or in sin, or else in Grace.

You cannot be under the law and be in grace; it must be one or the other. The laws of these two covenants are different. Both are the laws of God; but one was given because of sin; which brought the people into bondage; this was the O.T. Covenant of law. This was death; this had not the power to give life.

Only by the Covenant of Grace is there any life. Galatians 3:21—Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

Gal. 3:17—And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years AFTER, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

v18—For if the INHERITANCE be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

v19–Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a MEDIATOR.

v23—But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

v25–But after that FAITH is come, we are NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER.

v26—For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

v27–For AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST.

v28—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.

Now, this is the new ‘law’ of the N.T. Covenant: = no one is in bondage; nationality is not considered; gender is not considered.

We are all ONE = the same; that is, if you are in Christ Jesus.

John 5:45—Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even MOSES, in whom ye trust.

John 7:19—Did not MOSES give you the LAW, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

(Thou shalt not KILL).

John 1:17—For the LAW was given by MOSES, but GRACE AND TRUTH came by Jesus Christ.

Moses was the MEDIATOR of the O.T.Covenant. Jesus is the MEDIATOR of the N.T. Covenant. The O.T. Covenant is sanctified by the blood of bulls and goats. The N.T. Covenant is sanctified by the blood of Jesus.

Heb. 3:1-6–shows that Moses was a son over his ‘HOUSE’, the O.T; But Jesus is the Son over His House, the N.T. So, there you have the two houses; the two mediators; the two different means of sanctification for the house. It is clear that you cannot be sanctified by the blood of Jesus, if you go back to the law, the house of Moses, and bring yourself back to the blood of bulls and goats.

Now, what was the ‘thorn’ to Paul? Some imagine this; some that. They think it was something ‘wrong’ with Paul’s human body. But this is not the case.

Read Acts 21:18-28—This tells that the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem, told Paul that he was being accused of denying Moses and the Holy Place, and the law. They got Paul to shave his head, go into the temple and do the ritual of purification required by the law. Paul did this to appease those Jews. You see, in Paul’s ‘flesh’ = carnal = law mind, he was still having a battle to let go of life-long tradition of ‘law-keeping’.

People, this is Paul’s thorn in his flesh = he still held to that law and those Jewish people as being God’s supreme people, at the first.

He stated in Romans that he could wish himself accursed from Christ, for his kinsmen according to the ‘flesh’, = those Jews.

According to the LAW, the only acceptable place of worship, is Jerusalem. But, Jesus had told the world that the time had come when that would not be the place of worship; it would be anywhere, anytime; not a Sabbath day, one-day a week think; no, it is every day. People, if you go back under the law, the ONLY place you can worship is Jerusalem!!! You had better to there! (perhaps, this is why so many deceived church people trot over there all the time).

Yet, here in Acts, we see Paul still acting as if Jerusalem is the Holy Place. You see him doing the purification thing; you see him going into the temple on the Sabbath Day. Now, why is this? Because, like Peter, Paul was, at first, having trouble letting go of the carnal = law mind, which had been instilled into him from birth.

Gal. 4: 13—Ye know how through infirmity of the FLESH I preached the gospel unto you AT THE FIRST.

v14–And my temptation which was in my FLESH ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

Then he goes on to tell them that if they go back to the law, they fall from GRACE.

Paul said he sought the Lord trice about this matter; he said it was the messenger of Satan, buffeting him. So, this was that law thing in his mind; which Paul was having trouble discarding. It is proven by that act of his shaving his, taking a vow, and purifying himself according to the law. You know that this is totally contrary to Faith; to sanctification by Grace. But, what did Jesus tell him? MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU!!!

See? Jesus told Paul that Paul did NOT need to do those things required by LAW; for Grace is sufficient for sanctification and salvation. For by the LAW SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED.

Paul finally got it. Then he rebuked Peter for separating himself from the Gentiles. He wanted to help Peter get it. They were both having trouble turning from the LAW.

Now, when Paul said for women to keep silent, he said As also saith the LAW. He was telling them that if they go back to the law, this is what is required.

When he said for women not to teach, in 1Tim. he took it to the Garden of Eden Law; where Eve was told that her husband would RULE over her. In Christ there is no one boundage.

He set every one FREE. If women are not free to do just exactly the same thing Sons of God do, then she is still under the law; still under bondage.

For one to say a woman cannot speak the words of God to a man; or to anyone, is to call Jesus himself a lie.

Jesus set women over the N.T. move. In John 20—we are told that Peter and John went to the sepulchre, after being told by Mary that they had taken the Lord away.

They both were there at the tomb. But, v10–Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

v11–But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and she looked into the tomb and saw two angels who spoke to her and told her Jesus was risen. The very first person to know this. Now, mind you, those two angels KNEW that Peter and John and JUST BEEN THERE!!! Yet, they had not spoken to those men.

In verses 14-18— Mary sees Jesus; he calls her by name __the first one he KNEW THIS WAY. Then she knew him. The true foundation is manifest here.

v17—…Jesus saith unto her….go to my brethren, (men) and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

v18–Mary Magdalene came and TOLD the DISCIPLES that had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto.

In Luke 24 where it says the women told this to the disciples, v11–And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

Now, why did these women’s words seems as ‘idle’ tales? Because they believed that a woman could not preach the gospel. They still were under that LAW at this time. So, they could not believe that Jesus had told these women to go tell the men about the resurrection.

In this instance, Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Mary, made in Luke 1:46-55—.

v48–For he hath regarded the LOW ESTATE of his handmaiden: ..

v52—He hath put DOWN the mighty from their seats and EXALTED them of LOW DEGREE.

Now, see, that in v 48 she spoke, by the Holy Ghost, of the LOW ESTATE, OR DEGREE of women. So, four verses later, v52, he is still speaking of WOMEN when he spoke through her, that he would exalt them of low degree. The men were not the ones of LOW DEGREE. The women were the ones. So, here Jesus lifted up those of low degree, the women, and told them to carry the Word of God to men.

HOW DARE YOU TRY TO PUT JESUS UNDER LAW AND TELL HIM HE CAN NOT DO THIS???

If Jesus is Lord, then his word is the word of God. Right??? Then IF Jesus told WOMEN to go TELL MEN ABOUT HIS RESURRECTION, is this not the Lord giving HIS Word to women to go give to men?

How dare you tell Jesus he can not do this? How dare you tell women they cannot obey him?

Women, if God tells you to preach, teach, rule, don’t listen to the ‘wolves’ who are themselves under the bondage of the LAW; don’t let them make you disobey your God and your Father. Don’t let them put you back under that bondage which our precious Jesus delivered us from!!

Get out there, by GRACE, and teach, preach, whatever you can do for the kingdom of God, DO IT!!!

If you are under GRACE, AND NOT LAW, you can do anything a man can do. He lifted you up and put them down. So says the Word.

If you SIN willfully, after coming to the knowledge of the TRUTH, there remaineth no more sacrifice for you; but fearful looking for of firey judgment and indignation which shall DEVOUR you.

This is saying, if you come to Jesus, the truth, then go back to law, willfully, you fall from GRACE; THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS IS NOT AVAILABLE TO YOU; FOR YOU GO BACK TO THE O.T. COVENANT, THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND GOATS; THE MEDIATOR OF MOSES.

Moses is the one accusing you to the Father. What is he accusing you of? Of turning your back on Jesus, the Spirit of Grace, and freedom for all. This amounts to doing despite to the Spirit of Grace; counting the blood of Jesus an unholy thing and trampling it under foot. People, this is what going back to the LAW is doing. This is where it puts you.

So, since this may be me very last message to you, Please, read all of this; study it; flee those who bring you back under the bondage of the law. Get free of Sabbath keeping, tithing, women not teaching, etc. All these things bring you back under the law of bondage; puts you under the blood of bulls and goats; causes Moses to become your accuser.

If you never get anything else, get this. Without an understanding of Grace and LAW, YOU WILL BE LOST. For by the Law shall no flesh be justified; but a certain fearful looking to of being devoured by God.

Peter had a hard time coming to grace; he thought he still could not eat all meats; he thought the Gentiles could not get to God; then he still did not want to fellowship them. Paul had a hard time getting free from law and into grace. At first, he still thought of the Jews as special people, he purified himself to please them, he taught women had to be silent according to the law. But, after he was all the way into grace he commended Phebe as a great ruler and teacher and pastor.

Don’t listen to those liars trying to keep you from being used by God; of trying to put you back under the law of women can’t teach. Come to GRACE; FOR THERE IS NO SALVATION OUTSIDE OF GRACE. In grace, in Christ he does not see male or female; we are all baptized into one body; we are all part of the same body; we can all be sent of God to preach and tell the world about Jesus.

PRAISE OUR HOLY GOD!!! THANK YOU JESUS FOR THIS GREAT TRUTH.

Your handmaiden, Jo Smith.

The Law is darkness ~~

The Old Testament Covenant had a certain set of laws, priests, prophets, rituals, place of worship, day of worship, and manner of worship. But, all of that was changed when the New Testament Covenant was established. It is of utmost importance to know this and abide by it. They are two completely different Covenants. You cannot belong to and keep both of them at the same time. You must completely leave one and cleave to the other one. They cannot co-exist. So, it very important to understand the differences in these two covenants and then decide which one you will try to abide by.

2Cor 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2co 3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 2co 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

2co 3:4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 2co 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 2co 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

2co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 2co 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 2co 3:9 For if the ministration ofcondemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Heb 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Now there is more proof that God disannulled that old law covenant. You would have to call a lot of scripture lies, to deny this and hold to that old law. See that the law had to be changed when Jesus came in as our high priest. It is not the same old law. It does not work the same. That old law made nothing perfect. If you cling to that law, you will never be perfected.

Paul made it clear here that he was NOT speaking of the OT Law, of Moses, written in stone, when he said they were the epistles of Christ. He made it clear that he is speaking of living epistles, led of the Spirit of God. He was a NT Minister, ministering the Grace Covenant. This Grace Covenant was in their hearts, not written with ink. This then is the Law of Jesus Christ, not the OT Law. They are totally two different laws. They work differently. They have different results. That OT Law is the letter which KILLETH. It was death. It was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When Adam partook of this law, he passed into death. He was in Grace and eternal life, to begin with. But he left that first estate, of being the anointed covering cherub.

But the thing of it is that he WAS anointed of God to be the covering. Now he is that OT covering which is not sufficient. It is not long enough to do the job of covering the people’s sins and bringing them to God. Verse nine shows that this law ministry of Moses was of condemnation. So to act still under that law, is to still be under condemnation and death. Proof? Sure. 2co 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 2co 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 2co 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

2co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. 2co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.

Now that solidly proves that the old testament blinds people. It also proves that it was abolished, or done away with. Since this old covenant was abolished and done away with, another Covenant has to be in its place, thus proving that they are two different and totally opposite Covenants. You absolutely cannot be under both covenants. God said you cannot serve two masters. You are serving Satan, or Adam, Man, if you are still under that old law.

Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

The power of darkness was that old Law, with its ten horns, or ten commandments. That was darkness, or blindness or death. Those who come into Grace, or under the blood of Jesus, are translated into the kingdom of Jesus, God’s dear Son. This alone proves that you cannot be in both kingdoms, or covenants at the same time. If you have been translated out of that kingdom of darkness, you must no longer be living by the laws of the old covenant. You must now live by the New Testament laws of Jesus and his apostles. You must prove that everything you now believe and live by was taught by Jesus. Else you are still under the blood of bulls and goats, which can never take away sins. You are still in your sins, whosoever of you still go by the OT laws.

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Now there is the proof that Jesus abolished, or did away with that old covenant of handwritten ordinances, which was against us. It also shows that the principalities and powers, were of that old law covenant. And to prove that this is the bondage which was against us: Ac 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

Ac 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. Ac 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; Ac 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Ac 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Ac 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Ac 15:23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Ac 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words,subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

Now that clearly agrees with 11Cor. 3, that the old covenant was a bondage which was against us, and which Jesus abolished. It shows also that all of the apostles and elders were in total agreement on this matter, that it was subverting souls to say they must keep the law and be circumcised. So if you live your life according to that old law, and not the NT law, you are in bondage and will be lost.

Now for more proof that the law was the enmity of our soul: Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Eph 2:15 Having abolishedin 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; Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

See verse 15 shows that Jesus abolished the enmity, even the LAW OF COMMANDMENTS. So this agrees with 11Cor. 3, that the old law of Moses was the enmity, which Jesus nailed to his cross, taking it out of the way. He abolished that law, or old covenant.

Now this is the same old enmity which was placed between Eve and that serpent. So it is the serpents, Pharisees, who love that old law, or the enmity. They love it because by this law, they can rule over others, mainly men ruling over the women. It is perversion of God’s chosen way of life. No matter what anyone says, Eve was not placed under that bondage until AFTER THEY SINNED. It was punishment to the entire human race. It is not of God. That law was not of God, for had it been, He would never have abolished it. God never changes. The Law of Jesus Christ is love, Grace. It is not law. Under this new law of Jesus, no one rules over anyone.

Proof: Mt 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. Mt 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; Mt 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Mt 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Ga 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Ga 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Ga 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Ga 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Ga 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all onein Christ Jesus. Ga 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Notice that. Before FAITH came, we were kept under law. In Christ ye are ALL ONE. This means we are all the same, with no one ruling over anyone. Neither male nor female, all one.

See, those still holding to the OT Law, which God abolished, cannot ever see this thing. They still want to see male and female. It is fleshly. They still wish to rule over others, for this is their way of receiving worship. It is that evil spirit of Adam, which brought sin into this world. He wanted to be God and be worshipped. He wanted to rule over Eve and others. This is why he deceived her into partaking of that law covenant. Under the Grace Covenant, we live by the law of Jesus, which said, with you it shall not be so. You are all ONE, or equals.

Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Ga 5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. Ga 5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Ga 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Ga 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Ga 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Now regardless of how many proud men wish to hold the woman in bondage, this shows that all of the children of Christ were set free. We are not to be under that yoke of bondage. That yoke was first placed on women in the Garden of Eden, after they sinned. Jesus lifted this yoke of bondage. All who dare to still hold to this yoke are yourselves still under the yoke of law, and will perish. If you seek to be justified by the law, or keep any part of it, ye are debtor to do the WHOLE LAW. Not only that, but he said, you are fallen from grace. So this proves what I said to begin with, you cannot be under both covenants at the same time.

So you men who wish to rule over the woman, or anyone else, you are under this bondage of law and fallen from Grace. No salvation is under that law covenant. You women who allow yourselves to be ruled over in this manner, have not held fast to the liberty which Christ gave you. You are therefore still under that old bondage of law, and there is no faith in it. For if you had come to faith, you would have been set free of that law. That is just what the above Scripture said.

And to clinch it all: Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

So if you are still under that law, either ruling over others, or being ruled over, you are not led of the Spirit. If you are led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

You cannot be under Grace and wish to rule over others. It is contrary to all that Grace is. It is bondage. No person being ruled over is free. They are in bondage. If a man truly loved his wife as himself, he could not hold her in this bondage and attempt to deprive her of her rightful place in God.

Since God EXALTEDthem of low degree, the handmaidens, then they are at the top. God did not half exalt them. He fully exalted them. So they can minister anything which a man can. In fact, it looks a whole lot as if the man no longer can, for he has forfeited this right and God removed them from their high seat.

Jesus’ Sabbath

They had brought a woman taken in adultery to Jesus and asked him if he would honor Moses law and let them stone her to death. Well, you know what happened; Jesus baffled them by calling on those without sin to start the stone throwing; but first he had convicted them all of their own sins.

He is smart.But what was He really doing? Of course — what He came here for — Grace and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ. Now they thought, and most everyone still thinks Jesus was under the LAW; but was He?

He was MADE under the Law – meaning the Law time. Yet he himself, like Moses, the lawgiver, was under and in Grace. He is Grace.So by Grace, what was his rest? Not the 7th day weekly Sabbath. That is why he constantly broke it. See he was KEEPING THE SABBATH DAY — BUT HE WAS KEEPING THE GRACE SABBATH.The 7th day, weekly, one day a week, Sabbath is the LAW Sabbath.

But Jesus was of Grace; so He kept the Grace Sabbath of the Holy Ghost; was he not filled with the Spirit at his Baptism? Is not this the Grace way of doing things? Is not this the New Testament salvation? Did not Jesus refer to the New Testament in His blood?So, he did keep the Sabbath Day; but not their Law Sabbath. That is what angered them; they could not understand the NT. Sabbath Day – a Day of salvation- for the Holy Ghost was NOT YET GIVEN TO ANYONE EXCEPT JESUS.

So, Jesus DID keep the whole law; but he was keeping it the Grace way. Glorious revelation! Thank you Lord Jesus for this great truth.
He was the very first one to enter in at the strait gate, which leads to eternal life; He was in Grace; He was resting from his own works and doing the works of the Father.Jesus could not stone the lady; for he gave her grace.
Jesus could not stop working on the 7th day rest for he was in grace. This is why he said, My Father works hitherto and I work. See, Both the Father and the Son keep the Grace Sabbath; not the Law Sabbath.

OK.  Now let’s let this community see who has the truth of this matter.  Let the one who proves how to keep the Sabbath Holy by the Word of God be the one who has God teaching them truth.  I am on my way.  Care to join me?Now I am studying this throughly.  I am going to post quite a few Scriptures PROVING  HOW GOD WANTS THE SABBATH KEPT HOLY.I tell you, if you are still under obligation to keep that 7th day, you are  ALSO BOUND TO KEEP ALL THE OTHER SABBATHS.  THE SAME GOD WHO SAID KEEP THE 7TH DAY SABBATH   ALSO  SAID  KEEP THESE OTHER SABBATHS.WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THIS?  DO YOU KEEP ALL OF THEM?  HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY BY THE WORD, NOT KEEPING THE OTHERS, IF YOU DO NOT?Leviticus 23 1.  And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
 2.  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
 3.  Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.
 4.  These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
 5.  In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord’s passover.
 6.  And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
 7.  In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
 8.  But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.(this throws this day to fall on the first day of the week, Sunday.)the 14th day and the 15th day could not both be on a sat.
 9.  And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
 10.  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
 11.  And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
 12.  And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the Lord. (this types Jesus)
 13.  And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
 14.  And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
 15.  And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
 16.  Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.Do you know why they were told in verse 16 to number fifty days and offer a NEW MEAT OFFERING UNTO THE LORD?Because this thing  TYPED  the coming of the true meat offering to God, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost!  It came 50 days  AFTER THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS.  That is why!It was ONLY TYPES AND SHADOWS!  SO WHY CONTINUE TO KEEP THE SHADOWS WHEN THE REAL THING HAS COME?If you are under a command to keep the weekly Sabbath, you are also under a command to keep this one on the 5oth day (which by the way falls on the first day of the week)-And if you still keep this type of Pentecost, it PROVES  YOU  DID NOT GET  TO THE REAL PENTECOST.AND IF YOU REFUSE THIS, YOU HAVE NO SALVATION.23.  And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
 24.  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
 25.  Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
 26.  And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
 27.  Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
 28.  And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
 29.  For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
 30.  And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
 31.  Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
 32.  It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
 33.  And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
 34.  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
 35.  On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.  (this one falls on Sunday)
 36.  Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth dayshall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.(the 8th day is a Sunday)
 37.  These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
 38.  Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the Lord.Now there are some more Sabbaths you are to keep and rest in and do no work in. Do you keep these Sabbaths?  If not, where is your excuse?  Where is your Scripture showing you are free from these Sabbaths, but not free from the weekly Sabbath?  You are guilty of twisting too much Scripture.There are actually more Sabbaths down through here which fall on the 1st day of the Week (Sunday) than the 7th day sabbath.So where do you stand?  They are just as much commandments from God as the other.No where in this reading is any Pharisees mentioned.  It said at the beginning of each new thought  God commanded Moses – God said to Moses-People, this is God’s Word; not the word of the Pharisees.  Where did you all get this lame excuse to do away with the real way of keeping it Holy?You are running away from God and truth. Look at v.36– there again a Sabbath fell on the first day of the Week.  Do you keep it?  You had better   – the same God who commanded the 7th day rest, also demanded rest on this day.All of this business  CLEARLY types the coming of the true rest,  the Baptism of the Holy Ghost on Pentecost  SUNDAY.You cannot deny that this day fell on a Sunday.  For it was 7 Weekly sabbaths, then one more day, making 50 days, which throws the true Sabbath, Pentecost to fall on a  SUNDAY.What you gonna do about this?(you see, I am not ignorant about Sabbaths as you all thought I was.)Now I want some discussion on each of these topics and new threads I have made from our old discussion of this subject.  I want all of you adventist and law people to get in here and study this thing out and be truthful with God and His word.  If not then you say to God his truth is not important and you will be lost.I have warned you and warned you.  It is serious;  I am not joking or jesting with you.  Nothing is more serious.  without honesty and truth With God, You have no chance for salvation; only a fearful looking to of fiery indignation from an angry God who will DEVOUR THE ADVERSARY.Unless you love truth and study to find truth, you are his ADVERSARY.

From: joie  (Original Message)Sent: 8/29/2001 9:59 PMActs 5:42—And  DAILY   in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Now, there is the New Testament day to worship and keep holy;   all of them.

Now how many of you desire to follow the apostles and their example?  There it is;  do it every day.  This is not any gobble-de-gook  trying to explain this ‘word’ and that ‘word’;  explain away how the Scripture was translated:  this is letting the Word say what is the true answer.

This said they   CEASED  NOT   TO  TEACH   AND  PREACH   EVERY DAY.

When the new testament Christians looked into the truth and saw that God had changed everything from the 10% thing in the Old Testament, to 100% in the New Covenant,  most of them backed out and decided to stay with the Old Covenant—to the lose of their own soul.

Acts 4:32—And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart (all in agreement)—and of one soul:  neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his own;  but they had all things common.

v34—Neither was there any among them that lacked:  FOR AS MANY AS WERE POSSESSORS OF LANDS OR HOUSES SOLD THEM, AND BROUGHT THE PRICES OF THE THINGS THAT WERE SOLD, AND LAID THEM DOWN AT THE APOSTLES’ FEET:  AND DISTRIBUTION WAS MADE UNTO EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HE HAD NEED.

(sorry, didn’t realize I was on caps).

Now, this is the New Testament way of giving:  all;  100%.  Who wants to follow the apostles?  Who wants to go worship every day?  Who wants to hear preaching every day?  Where are you?

Why do you cling to the O.T. Sabbath?  Because you do not want New Testament ways.

Neither Saturday nor Sunday satisfies God today:  it is all or nothing.

Now, for another Witness of this:  Heb.3:13—But exhort one another  DAILY,  while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Now, that is what happens to those of you who only want to do this one day a week:  you become hardened through decietfulness of sin.

Another witness:  11Cor.11:28–Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me     DAILY,   the care of all the churches.

Now, this shows Paul was into church work every day.

Acts 19:9—But when divers were hardened, and believed not,  but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he (Paul)–departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing  DAILY   in the school of one Tyrannun.

v10—And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

Now, this shows that Paul taught every day for two whole years.

Acts 17:17–Therefore disputed he (Paul)  in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market dailywith them that met with him.

Now, here we find that Paul taught  DAILY  in the  SYNAGOGUES,  and then outside in the market   DAILY.  When he left the synagogues, he didn’t stop;  he kept teaching outside in the market place,  DAILY.   Now where are you?

Acts 16:5—And so were the churches established in the faith, and  increased in number  DAILY. 

For it to increase in number daily, they would have had to getting together daily.

Acts 2:47–Praising God, and having favour with all the people.  And the Lord added to the church   DAILY  such as should be saved.

v46–And they, continuing   DAILY  with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.

See they went to that temple   daily.

Luke 19:47—And he (Jesus)  taught   DAILY  in the temple….

Where do you get this  one day a week stuff from?  Better come up to the New Testament.  Study my new message on Grace.  It explains this more fully.

The reason Jesus told Mary not to ‘touch’ him yet;  he was telling her he had not yet been established by God to be one with God;  to recieve worship;  this happened when he ascended.

JO Smith

Zech. 11: 7.  And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

(These two staves were the law and prophets)
 8.  Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.(the three shepherds which Jesus cut off were the O.T. Prophets, priests and Kings)
 9.  Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.(this is where Jesus turns away from that old covenant; see no food left in it!  anything staying there , he said let it be cut off; the rest would ‘eat’ the flesh, or word of each other; not the word of God)
 10.  And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.(Remember, this is at the time of the crucifixion;  proof is below here —– here is where Jesus cut off his staff called Beauty; which was the prophets which had been feeding the O.T. people the word from God; remember, it said the law and prophets were UNTIL John the Baptist; after this no more would God speak to the people by law and prophets; now he speaks to us by His Son.  See that He said this was for the purpose of  BREAKING HIS COVENANT (O.T. LAW)  WHICH HE HAD MADE WITH THAT PEOPLE.)
 11.  And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord. WHAT DAY?  IT WAS BROKEN ON THE DAY OF THE CRUCIFIXION.  JESUS NAILED IT TO THAT CROSS AND CARRIED IT INTO HELL AND LEFT IT THERE.(THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD SHALLRENEW THEIR STRENGTH.  RENEW THEIR STRENGTH?  SEE THAT THEY HAD BEEN CUT OFF; SO THERE WAS NO STRENGTH; BUT TO THE PETERS AND JOHNS WHO WAITED ON JESUS,  RENEWED  THEIR STRENGTH BY BEING GRAFTED BACK INTO THE PURE OLIVE TREE ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST.  SO THEY KNEW IT WAS THE WORD OF THE LORD TO CUT OFF THAT OLD COVENANT AND RENEW IN THE NEW COVENANT.  I DON’T SEE HOW ANYONE COULD MISS THIS TRUTH; IT IS ALL OVER THE WORD OF GOD)
 12.  And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.(NOW, HERE IS THE PROOF THAT THIS IS SPEAKING OF THE CRUCIFIXION; FOR THIS IS THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER WHICH WAS PAID TO JUDAS TO BETRAY JESUS.)
 13.  And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.
 14.  Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel(NOW, HERE IS WHERE JESUS CUT OFF THAT OTHER STAFF = LAW.  THE WAS WAS THE BANDS, – OR BONDAGE– THAT YOKE THEY COULD NOT BEAR.SEE, IN DOING THIS HE  BROKE  THE BROTHERHOOD BETWEEN JUDAH AND ISRAEL.NO LONGER CAN THE TWO WALK TOGETHER, EXCEPT THEY BE AGREED.THEY MUST AGREE TO COME OVER INTO THE NEW COVENANT.THEN THEY BECOME JUDAH, THE FAMILY OF JESUS.  THEN THEY BECOME THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL.THE OLD JUDAH AND OLD ISRAEL, THOSE WHO CLING TO LAW ARE CUT OFF.AND LEFT TO DIE.THAT WHICH DIETH, LET IT DIE.SO SAID JESUS.
