Two Masters..> By Jo Smith >. Sept. 1, 2005This is what Jesus said:Mt 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:Mt 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.Mt 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?Mt 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?v19–Here Jesus speaks of the very thing we have been discussing so hotly, that of laying up earthly treasures upon earth, where the ‘thieves’ break through and steal. Now take that to the message Paul said the thief is the one who takes pay for doing the work of God. They broke into the ‘church’ and TAKE OF YOU. Paul said they are Satan’s ministers, transforming themselves.See here they broke into that ‘treasure’house, the church. They take of it. They are laying up for themselves earthly treasures. So watch this:v20- lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven…where these thieves do not break through nor steal…see they cannot steal your life with God in TRUTH. I have showed you how if they receive earthly, or money compensation, they will NOT HAVE THE HEAVENLY TREASURE. So here he is still speaking of not taking pay for your labour for God.v21-Where your treasure is there will your heart be also…..so their heart is in their ‘church’ for this is where they lay up their earthly treasures…money.v22- The LIGHT of the body is the EYE. If the eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of LIGHT. What is LIGHT? = TRUTH. what is TRUTH.= GRACE. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.v23-But if thine eye be evil. -[notice this evil here takes the place of double]— the whole body shall be full of darkness.So what is DARKNESS, spiritually? It is error, false teachings. It is LAW. The law is darkness and bondage.

v24–No man can serve two masters: ..ye cannot serve GOD AND MAMMON.

So see here that he shows that the TWO MASTERS ARE GOD AND MONEY. Yes, money is mammon.

So he is saying that for the eye to be single, it must be full of GRACE, NOT LAW. Law is darkness and bondage.

Everything in the word of God is the difference between LAW AND GRACE, FROM THOSE TWO TREES IN EDEN, TILL THE END OF THE WORLD. Yes, that tree of the knowledge of good and evil isLAW.

Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ…you must come fully into GRACE, to have LIGHT. .and TRUTH…which is to be single-eyed.

To be of a double heart of mind, or eye, is to try to serve God by both law and grace.. this is utterly IMPOSSIBLE.

See also that those under law are the ones who serve MAMMON? Those OT priests were the ones being fed of their brethern.

It is by LAW that they tithe. It is by LAW that they pay a man. this is darkness and error.

THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH… SEE THAT HE SAID YOU MUST HAVE FAITH…TO LAY UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN. FAITH IS ONLY POSSIBLE UNDER GRACE. IF YOU GO TO LAW.. YOU ..FALL. .FROM GRACE. The law is not of faith.

IF YOU TAKE PAY, YOU ARE UNDER LAW…DARKNESS…MAMMON.

GOD AND MAMMON ARE THE TWO GODS HE MENTIONED….SO THEY ARE OPPOSITES….WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ALL YOU PREACHER-PAYING FOLKS…OR YOU PREACHERS TAKING MONEY AS YOUR REWARD FOR IT?

…out in the DARKNESS OF BONDAGE. GOD CALLED THIS …EVIL.

Now take Scripture to dispute this, not your own carnal thoughts. I proved it with Scripture, so don’t go handing me your carnal thoughts to oppose this.

Freeborn,

As you can see there is alot on my mind this morning. And since everybody everywhere is saying they are following JESUS and keeping the LAW at the

same time. I want to show them here just why the LAW was given. And maybe after studying this, will they still try to uphold the LAW. I guess they are

in one of these classes of People. Wonder if they will go to heaven when they die? But I guess, these sinners still think they are going to heaven. They

are in a total delusional state.

Tweety

Fifteen Classes the Law Was Made For

15. Those guilty of any vice contrary to sound doctrine (1 Tim. 1:10; Galatians 5:21).

~~ The Law of Sin and Death ~~

What causes death? Was it being under the law? No. This is not the cause of death. Here is the answer to this question:

Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Ro 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ro 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Ro 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. (Adam knowingly and willfully transgressed the law of God and took them into the law of sin and death. He went from grace, life, into death, willfully. There is no forgiveness for this sin unto death. So no other person did sin after this similitude).

So we see that sin is the cause of death. One man, Adam, brought sin into the world. By this sin he also brought death into the world. God had told Adam the day you ‘eat’ of that tree, you will die. So the disobedience to God was sin, and by this sin came death.

Now this is the reason death reigned from Adam to Moses. Sin was always in the world, so death was also always in the world. See the law did not bring death. Sin did. See verse 21 said the end of those things, (unrighteousness) is death.

Verse 22 shows the way out of this dilemma. When we are made free from sin, by Jesus coming into our lives, the end of this is everlasting life.

So how is all of this tied to the law? Again the Word will show us. Ro 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

So from this we see that the carnal mind is death. So to be carnally minded is the sin. So then we must conclude that Adam went from a spiritual mind to a carnal mind. He went from life to death. How? By partaking of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So what is that? Again let the Word show us. Ro 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit untodeath.

Ro 7:7 What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

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

Ro 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Ro 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Ro 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Now we see that the motions of sins were by the law. I had not known sin but by the law, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. So this clearly shows that the law was that tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good and evil. We have already established that the law was good. It was ordained to life, but we find that it was unto death. Sin was set in motion by the law. Where there is no law, sin is not imputed. Now there was still sin, but it was not imputed. Yet the sin still brought forth death, for the wages of sin is death. We see also that the law only speaks to those who are under law. It brings all the world to be guilty before God. So see that by the law, the world became guilty and by the law shall no one be justified. So if you are under law, you are in death.

So now when you put all of this together there is only one conclusion one can come to. Adam took the world under law. He went to law, for without the law, sin was dead. So then to be under the law is to be carnally minded. See the knowledge of sin came by the law. Death came by sin. To be carnal minded is death. So they are all joined into one and the same event. Law, sin, carnal mind, = death, no justification.

So the question is, How then can one be justified and set free from this death? Answer: Ro 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 3:24 Beingjustified freely by his gracethrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

So there is only justification by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. Notice he said this is remission of sins that are PAST. There is a false teaching today that even future sins are remitted at this time. I do not find that in Scripture. When the justification of Jesus is placed into our souls, we are then made free from sin. If you sin willfully after this, there is no sacrifice for those sins and it will cost you your soul.

So then, why was death reigning from Adam to Moses? Because sin was in the world. They sinned because Adam had taken them to law. Without law, there could have been no sin. But they had not been placed under that law by God. So God did not impute sins to them. Yet they still sinned and it cost them death. So then why did God give the law to Moses? Ro 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Ro 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

Ga 3:19 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.

Ro 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

This tells us that law was for two purposes. To show sin as exceeding sinful, that God might require it and impute it to them because of their transgressions. They were to be held here under law until the seed should come, which was Jesus. Only in Jesus is deliverance. The law is not of faith, so it cannot give deliverance.

See there are two laws. You must take both laws into consideration to learn the real truth.

Ro 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Ro 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Ro 8:2 For thelaw of the Spirit of lifein Christ Jesus hath made me free from thelaw of sin and death.

So we see that there is a law of life which is by faith in Jesus Christ. This is not the law of works or the law of sin and death. God gave the law of sin and death to Moses. It was a law of no mercy, or grace. It was death, for everyone was declared guilty under this law. This law is not of faith, therefore no justification can come by this law. The end of this law is death. By this law is the knowledge of sin and the wages of sin is death. So the only way out of this death by sin, under this law, is to come into faith in Jesus Christ, into grace, out of law. The only means of having this is the Way of Pentecost, receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for this remission of sins.

If you do not obey this faith plan of God, you will remain under the old law of sin and death. No amount of works under this law will give you salvation. No tithing, no Sabbath keeping, no church going, no paying a preacher, no singing or playing music, or teaching Sunday School, no building great temples of wood and stone, or such can give you justification from sins. Only coming into pure faith in His blood, obeying the NT plan of salvation, will free you from the carnal mind of Adam, Law, and give you life.

People were dying from Adam to Moses to show that all were under sin. Even though God had not placed them under that law, it was still at work in their lives, bringing forth sin unto death. But as their sins increased, God became angry at their evil lives and set the law up so that he could bring them all under the condemnation of willful transgressions like unto Adam, so that he could bring his wrath upon them. Only by placing them under the law of sin and death could God impute their sins to them and hold them guilty. Death was still upon them, but after the law came they were held guilty and God imputed their sins to them. Thus they could not find redemption until they came into Grace.

The body was held under death from Adam on down to us today. After salvation was made possible by the sacrifice of Jesus, then all who refuse to come into the NT way of Salvation, according to what God showed on the Day of Pentecost, will be held as guilty and condemned with the OT people who died under that law. All who are not willing to repent, be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and then be filled with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues will perish as under law.

The only means of salvation or deliverance from that old law of sin and death is to come into grace by this NT plan of Salvation. Going to church does not place you into grace. Paying tithes does not give you salvation. Keeping a Sabbath day is not grace. It is law. God said he despised this way of works. If you keep idols such as celebrating some birthday, which you claim is Jesus’ birthday, or some silly Easter thing, and all the other man-made holidays, then you are still under the law of sin and death. The wages of this sin is death. Why will you die? Why would all these silly things mean so much to you as to give up salvation to keep them these few years of mortal life?

It is time you all consider these things and stop allowing carnal minded people to hold you in bondage and destruction. If you hold to these false teachings, you are guilty of the same sins because you partake of their sins. Therefore you are just as guilty. Search the Scriptures as Jesus told us to do. Where is a command from God to do any of these silly things? If he did not command it, then it is of Satan. It is the sins of which death is the end. I pray someone will hear these words and come out of that darkness into His glorious LIGHT of TRUTH.

1John 2:7–Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

The old commandment is the WORD which ye had from the BEGINNING.

v8—Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness (law) is past, and the true light (Jesus) now shineth.

The law came by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

11John 5–And now I beseech thee, lady,(church), not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

See, this commandment is to love one another. (period)

v6—-And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard FROM THE BEGINNING, ye should walk in it.

Moses law was 450 years AFTER the promise given to Abraham; therefore it could not be the Word WE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING.

God gave them laws which were not good; and laws by which they could not live. (Eze.)

No flesh shall be justified by the law.

The law he put into our hearts is the one from the beginning, that we love one another. Love fulfills the law; Jesus loved; He fulfilled the law and thereby did away with it.

To cling to the law is to bypass justification.

Life could not come by the law.

Choose ye this day life or death; law or grace. Which will it be?

I choose life which is grace; which is the commandment, the word we heard from the beginning; not the law 450 years later.

Heb 1: 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made somuch better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.  5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have Ibegotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

 Some people to day seem so proud of thinking that God has returned to old prophets to speak to His People.

Why?  Do they not realize that when the OT people WERE under a prophet, what it meant?  Have you all no idea what it was like, being under a prophet?  Go, study the Word and learn some important truth.

Read Heb one.  God shows here, clearly, that in the last days, the time from the Apostles, till the end, that God is ONLY speaking to us by his SON.  He spoke in time PAST, (meaning the OT law days), by the prophets.Do you not realize that when this was the case, God did not speak to the people?  They had no direct communion with God.  If they needed to know something, or receive direction from God, THEY HAD TO GO TO A PROPHET, and let that prophet intercede to God for him?

Do you not realize that IF God truly went back to a prophet, speaking to us, that means you, yourself CANNOT get to God for yourself?  Is that truly something to glory in and be happy about?  Not for me.  I love getting in touch with God for myself.  I love having God speak to ME and teach ME himself.

If not, you are not a son of God.  God speaks to his sons/daughters, directly, himself; not through a prophet.
The SUN went down over the prophets.  God put them into darkness.  A verse in Zech. even says that (after the time of Christ), if any yet prophesies, or says he is a prophet, HIS PARENTS SHOULD TRUST HIM THROUGH.

Why?  Because that is DOING AWAY WITH THE WORK OF JESUS Christ, to open that door, so we ALL MAY COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, and receive directly from God, ourselves.
People, IF YOU THINK YOU NEED A PROPHET, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO APPROACH GOD, OR GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM FOR YOURSELF.

Thus  you are rejecting the choice of God, himself, to speak to us in these last days, by his SON; not a prophet.
I do pray some of the ones who are deceived by this error, can recover themselves and get in touch with God for yourself.  There is no other way to salvation.  We must ALL COME IN AT THE SAME DOOR, JESUS CHRIST.

We the New Testament people, we are the true Israel of God. That is what is showing when the name of Jacob was changed from Jacob to Israel. Jacob is showing the Old Testament, that old Israel and Israel is showing the New Testament the new Israel. Now let’s go into the book of Genesis to see this. 

Genesis 28 10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep

Now you need to see what he Is talking about when he said the sun was set, and he took the stones and put them for his pillows, and laying down in that place to sleep.

The sun was set is showing that the sun went down on that Old Testament or that Old Israel, We not longer can serve God under that Old Testament Way, or the way that that old Israel served God.

Now let me try to show you where the sun went down on those Old Testament Prophets, Priests, and Kings. In other words the sunset, means that you cannot serve God under that Old Testament law.

Zec 11:8 – Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. ( The three shepherds that God cut off were the Old Testament Prophets, Priests, and Kings. This was old Israel. God loathed them, in other words he was never satisfied with that old Israel and they abhorred him. In other words they detested him or hated God.

Still on verse 11**** And he took of the stones of that place, ( Old Testament or old Israel) and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. ( The stones that were his pillars were those Commandments that was wrote on stone and also the law, that old Israel, or Jacob. In other words his pillars or foundation was fixing to fall or they were going to be put to sleep as it was when Sampson shook the pillars of the temple and it fell down or was put to sleep. That is what the pillars are a foundation. He( Jesus) had to put the first man Adam ( Jacob or old Israel) to sleep to become the second man Adam ( Israel). 
We need to see this spiritual and not natural. Also we need to see what I am fixing to say about the ladder. 

Gen. 28: 12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Is this not what was said in John?

Joh 1:51 – And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. 

Now to see what the ladder was. I hope you can see that this ladder was set up on the earth. This was Jesus as earthly man. In other words the footstone had become the headstone. This is the stone that the old Israel rejected.

Mr 12:10 – And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner

So to reach the top to heaven, we must be changed as Jesus was. We must have a name change. Jesus had to also have a name change. While here on earth he was Jesus the Son of Man( old Israel) and at the resurrection he was Jesus Christ the Son of God (new Israel). In other words he was the old Israel while on this earth and the new Israel at the resurrection. We must come into the new Israel a step at a time. That is what the ladder is showing. The ladder is Jesus Christ. 

The ladder is showing that it is the only way that we can get to God. We must go by that ladder (Jesus Christ) to get to God. There is no other way. The ladder is showing the mediator between us and God.

1Ti 2:5 – For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; ( See the ladder here in this verse.

Jesus also said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.( So I hope you can see that Jesus is the ladder. We must go by the ladder to get to God.

The LAW is no more;  bring in GRACE

By:  Jo Smith….July 9, 2016

1 Samuel 19King James Version (KJV)

19 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.

Saul is an earthly type of satan.  How he hates the chosen of God.  Jesus is the chosen of God to remove old Adam, and set up a new kingdom of love and grace.  But old satan,   (Adam), fights this move of God with all he has and can come up with.  When Saul told them to kill David, we see that happening right today, as Farrakhan and others like him, call for the evil ones to rise up and kill white people, who have been kind to everyone on this earth.

10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

Here we see the earthly sign of those who continually sought to kill Jesus.  It is the same today, as evil ones seek to destroy Jesus and his truth off this earth.

11 Saul also sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David’s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.

12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.

Again, we see the types as Saul’s people watch David to kill him.  This is also a type of when they had to let Paul down through a window, off a wall, so he could escape being killed.  Satan continually seeks to destroy the ones who follow Jesus, instead of him.

cpt. 20: 30 Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother’s nakedness?

31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.

32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?

Saul here is typing Adam as he blames Eve for all the evil that he himself is doing.  Jonathan shows those of us who choose Jesus over the flesh, or Adam.  Saul shows that as long as Jesus lives, Satan’s kingdom will not be established.  So it is still a battle going on as Satan’s ministers, such as Farrakhan, tries to destroy the kingdom of Jesus that is in us.

cpt. 21: 21 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

This chapter has moved to the resurrection of Jesus.  He goes to the priest and asks for five loaves of bread.  This represents the five fold ministry of the NT, or Grace.  The condition for receiving this hallowed bread was that the men had been kept from women three days.  These men represent those virgins to God.  They then received hallowed bread which was lawful only for the priests to eat.  So, NT Christians are priests to God.  Glory.

8 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.

(This shows that we do not fight this battle with natural swords, but with spiritual.  Our battle is spiritual, so David is not using his own weapon.)

9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.

10 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

David asked for a sword.  He was given the sword of  Goliath, the giant that  David had killed.  The priest said, there is none other like this one.  So Jesus was given the same sword that had previously been used by Adam.

But a servant of Saul was there that day and heard all of this.  He later sets up tribulation against David.  The servants of satan are doing just this today.  They are fighting the chosen of God, Donald Trump, who is the perfect type of the last trumpet sounding.  This last trump brings the kingdom of Christ on this earth, the resurrection of the sleeping saints of God, and  peace to this earth.

That sword had been wrapped in a cloth, showing the cloth around the head of the dead Jesus.  But when the living Christ picks that sword up, power is given to the people of God.  I fully believe that the ‘sword’ is now in the hands of Donald Trump.  Forward, march, army of God.

Notice that the Philistines immediately recognized David as the king, even though he had not yet come into his kingdom.  People, that is where Jesus is now.  That is where Donald is now.

cpt. 22: 7 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;

8 That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

In verse 7, Saul is speaking to Benjamites, men of his own tribe.  He tries to set them against David by saying, since you are not of David’s tribe, he will not use you or help you.  This is the people today saying to black people, Donald is white so he will not be for other races.  See, it is the same old lie of satan to try and stop the chosen of God.

The rest of this chapter shows how Saul found out that the priest had helped David and had them killed.  His men would not kill the priests, so the wicked old Doeg killed them.  He is showing all these evil people who are fighting the kingdom of Jesus Christ and the chosen of God, Donald Trump.

NOW, BRING IN GRACE;  CLEANSING

John 8King James Version (KJV)

8 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

A woman, taken in Adultery, no doubt that she is guilty.  The ones who brought her to Jesus wanted to have Jesus stand with the LAW OF MOSES, and have this woman stoned to death. that is what the LAW requires.

But Jesus wrote on the ground words that convicted them all of their own sins, so they all walked away, and could not cast the first stone.

Then, Glory to God, Jesus turned away from that LAW TO GRACE.

NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU.  Go, and sin no more.  (Sin no more, a condition required, in order to keep this forgiveness and cleansing).  If you return to LAW, you do FALL FROM THIS GRACE.  (Paul).

Hillary Clinton, no doubt that she is guilty as charged.  Yet, the FBI, knowing that she is guilty, said, neither do I condemn you.  Go free.  Seek to become president.  You are cleared of this sin.

Shew!  It looks terrible to the carnal mind, BUT to the spiritual, who can read the signs in the earth, know that this is showing the turning from LAW TO GRACE.

Did not the same statement bring out the words,  LAW IS NO MORE.  He that has eyes to see, let him acknowledge that this is truth.

Now, immediately after she is granted pardon, old satan comes up the new church and says, you must return to law.  You must keep the LAW OF MOSES TO BE SAVED.

There were five wise virgins and five foolish virgins.  They were all forgiven and cleansed by the same atonement.

But, Satan got to the foolish ones and they hopped on board with old satan, again.  The nation’s AIR-FORCE  ONE, was waiting with old Satan aboard, to catch up this foolish woman, and together they go up to NORTH Carolina.  North, shows heaven or the LAW.

David had hidden toward the SOUTH, showing death or the grave.

Satan, being the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, catches up this foolish virgin and attempts to take the kingdom away from the chosen of God.

The five foolish ones did not keep their cleansing.  They returned to their wicked ways, with Satan on board, fighting and slandering the chosen of God.

Immediately after this, war breaks out in this nation.  Kingdom against kingdom, race against race.

There is no peace says God, to the wicked.

Farrakhan has made a declaration of WAR against white people.  WHITE in Scripture, is RIGHTEOUSNESS.  So watch these signs in earth, for they are sure signs of what is going on in the heavens.  Jesus returns riding a WHITE HORSE.  Make no mistake about this….it is a sure sign.

This is not racism;  this is spiritual truth.  But I know, only the spiritual can receive this.

The five wise virgins will stay true to the Grace message and not turn again to the vomit they were delivered from.

Ten women cook their bread, in one oven.  It is those ten virgins, or the NT church.  Some bring out truth or good bread.  The others, the foolish, cook LIES.

Hillary is FULL OF LIES.  THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN.  Donald Trump is honest as any honest person can see or discern.  He is the chosen of God, a sign in earth, that the seventh trumpet is sounding.  The sixth one was the crucifixion of Jesus and then the persecution of the Saints down through the church ages.

Donald Trump goes about in his OWN jet, with the name, TRUMP, written big on it.  Hillary jumps on the nation’s jet, with satan.  That jet is called Air force  ONE. They are attempting to overthrow the kingdom that God has raised up and set back up the wicked kingdom of satan, which is now in full force in Washington D.C.

Jesus Christ returns on his OWN POWER, or that white horse. Let the saints of God shout for joy.  Psalms 149.

Praise God for this wonderful revelation.  AMEN.

The Law is no more
By: Jo Smith
July 6, 2016

There is much I wish to say, and could say, concerning the revelation of Lamentation. But since I have already written some messages on this subject, I will try to show you something that God revealed to me concerning our present day situation in the United States right now.
(Note, that on July 5, 2016, our FBI, KNOWING the evils of Hillary Clinton, and the evil she has done to our nation’s security, set her free from persecution, or being held accountable for her evil actions.) Someone then put out a message in which they declared, THE LAW IS NO MORE.

Now I am sure they have no idea how it fits this Book of Lamentation, nor were they even thinking of this; if indeed they have ever even read it…..but it gave me this message. See, God is showing me how to read or know the signs in earth, which are happening right now, before Our very eyes, and is showing what is going on in the heavenly, or invisible world. So this word, THE LAW IS NO MORE, is a mighty sign in earth, which God does not want you to miss.
So read this message.

First you should know that this Book not only deals with the destruction of the OT nation of Israel/Judah, but also with the destruction with the original sons of God, back in Eden. Then it covers the move into the NT; the crucifixion of Jesus and the casting down of that entire old testament law system. You know that Paul taught us that there is no salvation in or by the LAW. By the LAW is the KNOWLEDGE OF SIN. Tree of good and evil.
Paul also said, if you go back to LAW, you FALL FROM GRACE.

Finding GRACE, in scripture, has a very deep meaning and also is the only means of salvation. So, for the LAW TO BE NO MORE, is great news. It shows one has moved into Grace, or salvation.

Know also that after Jesus died on the cross, nailing that LAW to his Cross and taking it out of the way, for it was contrary to us, the church healed this wounded head of LAW. Yes, even as soon as in the Book of Acts, that early church had already persuaded many to return to LAW. It was to their destruction. They did not know then, the revelation of Lamentations, that this is showing the hatred and destruction of Law, by God himself.

If you have never seen these things in the wonderful book of Lamentations, give it a close study and pray. It is indeed most wonderful the amount of pure revelation in this short Book.

I want to show you this before I go into the mysteries I saw in 1Samuel last night.

Lamentations 2King James Version (KJV)
2 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
(‘covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud’)? This goes back to the time of the flood, when God placed those anointed cherubs, (original sons of God), into a body of dust. This took place when Noah’s family came out of the ark. Their children, born after the flood, were different from their parents. This was where, when and how God put ‘Adam’ into the dust. That dust body is this cloud. So God was angry with those wicked folks before the flood. He then placed them into dust because of his anger. See, they were in ‘heaven’ before that flood; a heavenly or spiritual world. But God cast them out of Eden, into this world that we are in right now. They could never find their way back to Eden or glorification.
2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
(Here it comes on down to the OT tribes of Jacob. God was again angry with the people because of their wickedness and going to LAW) This verse goes with Isa 47, telling Babylon to come down, sit in the dust. it is to Adam, come down and become a body of dust. Then it was to the OT Israelites, worshiping idols and being under LAW.)
3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

(Jesus is God’s right hand. Jesus was speaking the words of God. His words are sharp ARROWS. With the arrows, He was their adversary….you say, an eye for an eye, but I say unto you, resist not evil, etc.) With these arrows, God brought down the ruling powers of old Israel, or their horn. The very same thing is going on right now, in America. Their strongholds were their prophets, kings, sabbaths, laws, palaces, etc. God took that all down. He is soon going to take down all our strongholds. In the church, it is your pastors, priests, buildings, singers, organization headquarters, etc. In our nation, it is the president, senate, judicial system, and all other government officials. They are ALL now corrupt, as that old law system was corrupt, and God is going to bring it all crashing down, very soon. The school systems are corrupt; the health system is corrupt; the business system is corrupt, so it is all one big satanic mess.)
5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

(Palaces, in Scripture, refers to their fancy synagogues or church buildings; God hates them and is set to destroy all of them. It is being set in motion right now, in America).
6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

Verse 6 goes back to Eden, first. He destroyed that Eden world which had become filled with violence. The churches of today claim, you must ASSEMBLE into her buildings. There they have their solemn feasts and God HATES EVERY BIT OF THIS. If he violently took theirs away, he is also going to violently take yours away.
(Here we see the powers of that OT law system being taken down; their places of assembly, their sabbaths and their kings and priest. God did away with all of this due to their evil, which he hated.)
7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.

(Here God cast off his altar, [where they killed the animal sacrifices which God hated], but notice he gave up the WALLS of her palaces, INTO THE HAND OF THEIR ENEMY. When our walls are torn down, that is destruction. See, when God sent them destruction, the enemy tore down their WALL. But when God sent the back to Jerusalem, to restore that city and the WALL, it was then BUILT BACK UP. So building a WALL is an earthly sign that God is restoring one back; not destroying them.) Those who tore down our walls to allow the enemies to come into our nation, they are enemies, destroying us. [powerful note: their enemies were the NT ministers, Paul, Peter, etc. So they were tearing down that OT LAW system, to bring in the NT Grace.)
It was destruction to the OT way of life, but it was new life to the NT grace system. The flood brought destruction to Adam’s world, but gave new life to those born after the flood. A NEW DAY HAD DAWNED in both cases. So it is NOW. As one old system, which is corrupt, is destroyed, (say church), then a new day will dawn or begin. This is why this message is so glorious.

But Now that God has sent us a man to restore our great country, he says he is going to BUILD US A GREAT WALL TO KEEP THE ENEMIES OUT. People, this is a great sign that God is moving in heaven, for us. God is seeking to build us up; not tear us down. Glory to his Holy Name. Hillary Clinton is evil, and her kingdom is coming down. She is part of the old corrupt system which has to brought down, so the new system can come in. I hope you can see what God is showing me. It is comforting and most beautiful. In the midst of all the turmoil, fear and tearing down, there is hope in Jesus Christ. She will be used to tear down the corrupt system our government has now become. Both parties are corrupt as hell. But Donald Trump has been raised up and he did not go through their evil one-world system to become nominated. God raised this man up and God will tear down all the others just as He did in Adam’s day and the days of the apostles. Both times, an old corrupt law system was torn down and a new world of Grace was set up.

More to come:

8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

All their prophets, and those of today, saw vain and foolish things for the people. They have not discovered the reason they were BANISHED from Eden. They do not know why the OT law system was abolished; 11Cor 3.
They made up all kinds of lies of why God cast Adam out of Eden, but they have not found the truth yet, or they could turn away the captivity. Only the few who find this secret truth will come out of captivity into total freedom.
The main thing I wish to point out in the above verses is this: THE LAW IS NO MORE.
That is what the article said of america now; THE LAW IS NO MORE. So this means that God is NOW in the process of changing….doing away with an old corrupt system and bringing in a new good one. That old church system, which took up that old dead head of LAW is in this group to be abolished now. The corrupt system of our government is also set to be destroyed and replaced with something good. The corrupt and evil medical system, the school system the business world, all corrupt, will be abolished as that old world system has its wall torn down one more time. Glory to God.
People, this is an earthly SIGN that we are again at a time when God is going to destroy and old evil system and bring in a heavenly good system. It is an exciting revelation and time to be living in. The only thing that I am away of that should replace the church system, (which is mainly what God is dealing with; the other is just a natural happening which must go along with the spiritual happening); so all I see is the kingdom of Christ being set up on earth now.
Now that I have laid out this outline from Lamentations, let me show you our present happening from an old happening, from 1Samuel.

1 Samuel 20King James Version (KJV)
20 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
2 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.

As I read all of this last night, and God was opening it up to me for our day and also for the day of Jesus, (which unless you can take it all to Jesus, you are missing the true revelation; and then it does you no good unless you can also see it for our day. The first application is always that with Adam.) I kept asking God, who does Jonathan represent in this. I did not see the answer till a while ago. I again asked God, who does Jonathan show? Then God told me, John the Baptist. wow. I had not even considered that. Great revelation.

I can see clearly how Saul represents Adam in this, but had not seen how Jonathan was showing John the Baptist as John paved the way for Jesus to become king of this world. But see, there has to be someone in our day, right now, who is protecting Donald and is going to help set him up. Whoever it is, they are doing this type of Jonathan, who loved David too much to want to be king himself. He wanted it to be David for God had chosen David.

Taking off here in 1Sam 20, verse one: Here Saul, a type of satan or Adam, is trying to kill David, or Jesus, for he knows that David has been anointed by God to be the true King. Adam is trying to block and destroy Jesus; our nation is trying to destroy and block Donald Trump from going into office. See, they have their Jezebel. She is mystery Babylon. It is time now to destroy Babylon the second time. She fell at the destruction of OT Law system. But now it will happen again as God destroys this carnal, dead last church system. This time her roots will be plucked out of the earth and cast into hell fire. Obama had to go in before Hillary and take things to the bottom. He has done that. So now it is time for Hillary to finish her role in this winding down of ‘church’ time. She is that old harlot, going about destroying everything, and especially wanting to destroy all babies. It is the same as old Athalia who killed all the kings sons to become queen herself. But see, even then, God had made a way to save one of them, a baby. When he was six, they set him up as king and killed Althaea.

We have Hillary Clinton playing this roll. She is the Babylon or corrupt church system harloting against God. God has raised up someone to rebuild our Wall, secure our ‘city’ and throw old Jezebel down. That man is Donald Trump. God was preparing Donald all these years without anyone knowing. He had to wait until the seventy years are up. He will be seventy years old, showing this, when he goes into office. This is the sure earthly sign that we are now at the time to destroy old babylon and set up a pure system that will be righteous. In this new move of God, Donald will be showing the same thing as Nehemiah and Ezra did, when they returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the WALL and the city. The WALL has to be built first, to secure the City when it is built. This is to be Donald’s part.

Donald, carrying the last name of TRUMP, is the perfect type for our earthly sign that we are at the time of the SEVENTH TRUMPET TO SOUND. He could not run for office until the right time, when he will be seventy years old when he is set up as our leader. It is just too perfect not to be true. It is a true sign in the earth. Scripture says that after Saul was dead and it was time to take the kingdom away from Saul’s family and set up David….those who knew the SIGNS and what God wanted done, knew it was time to set David up and proclaim him KING.
Well, I am telling you, when Mr Trump takes office, or even if he does not and Hillary is set up, it is still time to throw her down and crown Jesus King of this earth. It will happen just as God has told us it would. He has ALWAYS set up these sure signs in earth for what is happening in the heavenly invisible world.

In verse one, David or Jesus, asks ‘what is my sin; no one convinces me of sin; what evil have I done that they wish to kill me?’ This also shows Pilate asking of Jesus, what wrong has he done?
Donald is also asking, what evil have any of you proven against me? They lie, but have no true evil against him. It is a perfect type.
Verse two is fantastic: Jonathan says, No, my Dad is not going to kill you. He has not told me that and he would do nothing he has not told me. Why would my father hide this thing from me. It is not so. Now, look at this; Scripture says God will do NOTHING BUT WHAT HE HAS revealed to his servants, the prophets. he is sure of this. He is perplexed and asks why would my father want to kill you?
Verse three: marvelous: David answers, your father knows that I have FOUND GRACE in your eyes. wow.
Satan is trying to trick up Jesus and said, you are just a man in flesh. You are going to die. But Jesus knew that he had FOUND GRACE IN THE EYES OF GOD, SAME AS NOAH HAD; SAME AS MOSES HAD. Saul types Satan or Adam, trying to destroy Jesus, so he cannot come to the throne. But Jesus knows that his Father has already said it to the prophets, that he will both die, be resurrected and become king of this earth. He has found GRACE. No Law can do this; It takes grace. The LAW IS NO MORE. Glory to God, we now have this earthly sign posted to the world; THE LAW IS NO MORE. Couldn’t be any plainer or more precise. Perfect sure signs in earth.

The EARTHQUAKES that people are continuously calling earthly signs, are natural events and NOT the signs God meant. That thinking is the DUST that is the serpent’s meat. The serpents always see things natural or carnal. But in Scripture EARTHQUAKES mean great FEAR coming on people because of something going on. These earthquakes are the FEAR YOU NOW SEE on this nation of corrupt politicians toward Donald Trump. Another sure sign. The fear of this man has fallen on this world. It has to be a working of the eternal God.
David assured Jonathan that his father wants him dead; there is but a step between me and death. They have already made at least two attempts on Donald’s life. They want him dead. But God is protecting him as he did David.
V4, shows the love that John had for Jesus and that we have for Donald.
Verse five: David here tells Jonathan that a new move is coming…tomorrow is the new moon; a new law system of grace; a new law of love…but before that time comes…. let me go and hide myself in the field unto the THIRD DAY, AT EVEN. Clearly death and resurrection of Jesus BEFORE THAT NEW MOVE COMES IN. He said, they think I should still be ‘eating’ with the ‘king’, (satan or Adam)… eating that OT law meat. But Jesus was finished with this.
Donald had at one time been in with those who eat of the king’s meat; but he saw the truth and will not eat at that table again. God just gave me this. it just keeps opening up as I write. ‘they say, oh we know he once did’; but see God was still preparing him; now his eyes are open and he sees the destruction of our nation that the wicked ones are preparing to do. He rose up, at night, as Nehemiah did, and compassed this country and devised a plan to save it. Wow. God is telling me this as I write. Never been more sure of anything.

Verse eight shows the covenant of Grace between Jesus and John. This world’s politicians are angry because they cannot get Mr Trump to go back to the old ways. He is on a new course = grace and safety for our country. He refuses to smooth over the wicked ones, to get votes or money. He is now showing the love of Jesus to this nation.

Separate law from Grace.

Due to the fact that practically no one understands what the tree of good and evil is, and the fact they also do not know what the tree of life is, they are not able to rightly divide the Word of God and separate law from Grace.

Understanding what  is law and what is grace is the most important thing to come to, for under the law is no salvation.

The law is a curse.  The law is not of faith.  Without faith it is impossible to please God.  The law is bondage, therefore those who live by law are  bond children.

So if this much is wrong with law, why is it in Scripture?  God said the law was added because of their sins.  God put them under law so they would be held accountable for their sins and be damned.   Strange, isn’t it..that almost everyone thinks the law is wonderful.

Almost all messages we hear are law messages.  Why?  These ‘ministers’ have not come to understand Grace.  They claim to be in grace, but their entire life and words is law.

I had been thinking about writing on this a while but hesitated to do so.  Then as I was reading my message on Genesis one, I came across a statement where Paul and Jesus separated law from grace to the people.

Then I knew I needed to teach on this.  See, the law message has done more harm to the work and advancement of the kingdom of Christ than anything else.  How can this be?  Well, just watch:

Has not the law message prevented almost all women Christians from working in the work of God?  Haven’t they been forbidden to preach, teach or anything that would advance the kingdom of Christ?  Sure we have.

How many souls could have been won to Christ had women taken up their rightful role in the work of God.  How much truth could have been brought to the light, and souls delivered from the darkness, had women taken up the work of God?

Did God forbid them?  NO.  It was LAW.  God even said in Ezekiel that He gave them laws that were not good and by which they could not live.  Then why is the entire church world running on LAW?

It is the darkness and the proud men who have prevented the truth from bringing out the goodness that a united Christian Church would have given this world.  It is in total chaos right now due to this dark error.

God set lights in the firmament to divide the day or light, from the night, or darkness.  All true ministers, from Jesus on, had to separate these two and teach the difference.

So Now I must teach on this.  Many of you Christian sisters are so in bondage that you think speaking the word of God would be an insult to you.  Such a horrible shame.  You are living UNDER LAW; BONDAGE.

You cannot be Free and in Bondage, at the same time.  Anyone being ruled over in any manner is in bondage or law. Therefore you are a bond child with no salvation.  When Jesus gives us salvation, we are set FREE.  You are not Free if you cannot and will not study and preach the truth of God.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is LAW.  Scripture clearly teaches this.  (I am not looking up and quoting scriptures here, just teaching what I know and if you have any knowledge of the word of God at all, you know this is scripture;  if you do not, you are not a Christian at all, having not studied the Word of God, whereby you might grow.)

So what says a woman cannot teach…law or grace?  It is clearly LAW.

In Christ, there is NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE.  NOW UNTIL YOU COME TO SEE THIS, you are in darkness and have not been set free.  You need someone to divide the day from the night, for you.  So I am here doing so.

If you still see Christians as MALE AND FEMALE FOLKS, you are blinded by LAW.  You have not come into Christ, for in Christ there is  only children of God;  all are sons of God.  Jesus said he that does the will of my Father is my Mother….are you his mother?  if so are you female?

Jesus said those who do the will of my Father is my brother…are you his brother?  If so, are you male or female?

Jesus said he that does the will of my Father is my sister….so how are you his Mother, his Brother, His sister, if you are either a male or a female?   You truly have no idea for you are in darkness and error, blinded by LAW.

To see folks as woman or man, male or female, is natural, which is carnal.  the Carnal mind is death, the enemy of God;  cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God for to him it is foolishness.  Are you carnal?  Do you say, I am of this man or that man?  If so, you are carnal.  Do you say a woman Christian cannot preach or teach?  If so you are carnal and blinded by Law.

Men who had gone back to Law had written Paul complaining about  women teaching..They said the law says they cannot..Paul rebukes this statement.  but the carnal mind does not see that;  it reads the word of God as disjointed scrambled words with no meaning.

But see, Jesus taught both messages;  he had to.  The majority of folks always have and always will live under LAW.  So he had to tell them how to do that, even though they will not have salvation by law.

Paul also taught both messages..  So both messages are all through Scripture.

I have written many messages on the difference between law and grace.  But this one needs to be made clear.  Don’t think I have written on this side of law.

How to tell?  When a message make a difference between men and women, then know that it is a law MESSAGE.  For in Christ, there is neither male nor female, but we are all ONE IN CHRIST JESUS; NO DIFFERENCE.  Scripture makes this very clear many times.

question:  What covers our sins?  think about this.  Before I go any further, think about this;  what is your COVERING?  Are you covered by Adam or Jesus?  or what?  That first cherub was Adam;  He was supposed to be a covering for the people;  but what did he do?  he deceived them and led them into LAW; TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL.

That was death.  Were animal sacrifices ever of God? No- Scripture is clear that God hated this….so why is it in the Word?  It is LAW.  Who brought up law? Adam/serpent.

After old serpent, Adam, deceived Eve into going into Law, what did God tell her?  now he is going to rule over you.  Was this what God wanted?  Not at all.  God hated this.  It is perversion of God’s way.  I am not going to sit here looking all these scriptures to try and prove this to anyone, for I know you still would not accept it.  I have already proven all of this many times and Scripture is full of it.  If you do not know the Word of God, you are not his child anyway.  You are in darkness and hate the light or truth.

Under the Grace message, we are EQUALS.  No male; no female;  no bond or free;  just equals.  no Jew or Greek; just equals.

Until you can get to that, you will remain in darkness and death.  Law is your covenant.  Death is your companion. 

If I have the Spirit of Jesus in me, I have a son of God in me.  I am a son of God, therefore you cannot judge me as a restricted female, under law.  I am not under law.

What is my covering?  You think it is my hair?  You think I cannot cut my hair because I am a woman?  I am not a woman;  I am a son of God.  Foolish to you, huh?  Sure you are in bondage.

Sure men said that; but those men are under law.  Sure men said I cannot teach; but those men are under law; bondage and trying to hold me in bondage.

I wore my hair long as long as I could.  It is not my covering.   The Spirit and blood of Jesus is my covering.  My sins are under the blood; not how I wear my hair.  that is law.  Jesus wore long hair and so did many other men in Scripture. Priest wore skirts.  So now where are you?

You are blinded by LAW.  Pity is though, that those who hold that a woman must have uncut hair, pin it up on top of their head….1Cor 11 clearly that to do this is the same as SHAVING YOUR HEAD.  So where are you?

Ignorant of the Word of God.  If you are not COVERED WITH IT, (means piled on top of the head)…then God said it is the same as cutting it off or shaving your head.  So see, all those women thinking they are more Holy than a woman who can no longer wear it long, due to a sisk in the head , yet you pile it on top of your head, you are shaved.  You have no truth is what it amounts to.  Self-righteous and a serpent.  Considering yourself to be to good to speak to others, when you are in total rebellion to God’s word.

And even if there is not a physical reason that one cannot wear the long hair, that is still LAW AND NOT REQUIRED FOR A WOMAN IN GRACE,  FOR WE ARE ALL ONE.

I heard a certain man, who claimed to be a minister, say, (and this is the last words I heard this man speak, for he died soon after this)….He came up where I was visiting a friend.  We were not discussing this at all…the man just blurted it out…he said,  “Brother Branham said a man can have all the women he wants”.

I said, well God sure did not say that.  He said, I know that, and with that he left.  I never saw him alive again.

But see this lying fake prophet had taught this man that he could have all the women he wanted.  No such filth is taught in Scripture.  Sure OT men did this thing;  but they were under law and totally out of God’s will.

See, to make that kind of difference in men and women is a satanic, law message.

We are all to live pure and Holy lives;  not just women.  The holiness (so called) churches rest fully on how the women in the church dress and wear their hair.. the men can live as they please….it is of satan.  No holiness at all.  Then they prance around holding their heads high and have that proud look, that God hates.  Piling your hair on top of your head gives you a proud, snotty look.

It is not of God.  If you think you need to not cut your hair, then it MUST HANG DOWN.  If you pile it up, God said you shaved your head.

But under grace, THIS DOES NOT EVEN MATTER.

The New Heavens and New Earth

This revelation will come as quite a shocker to most of you who read it. For so long the new heavens and new earth has been taught to mean a total new type of planet or something of this nature which will occur after everything else is finished. But this is just not true to the Word of God. I know most of you will find this hard to believe because of the lies which have preceded this true teaching. But if you will take the time to study this and compare it with all the Scriptures on this subject, you will find it matches the Word as no other teaching before has done.

I will start this message with the whole chapter of Isaiah 65.

Isaiah 65

1. I Am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

2. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;

3. A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

4. Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5. Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

6. Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

7. Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

8. Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

9. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

Now, lets look at this portion a little at a time:

Verse one: This is speaking of the Gentiles being brought unto God.

Two: This is speaking of God and His dealings with the nation of Israel, which always rebelled against God and His way.

Three: this clearly identifies the nation of Israel because they are the ones whom God had ‘always’ dealt with; they are the ones who sacrificed and burned incense.

Next God tells of their sins and how He will recompense them for it.

Verse 8 picks up with prophecy of the New Testament Christians, the servants of Jesus. We are called the ‘servants’ in the Word. The ‘new wine’ is the New covenant of Grace.

Verse 9 is speaking of Jesus. Jesus was the seed out of Jacob which inherited God’s mountains. His servants, the New Testament Christians are the ones who dwell there.

10. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

11. But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

12. Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

Verse 10 speaks of the Christians. These are His people that sought him.

Verse 11 & 12 tell the OT. law people how they forsook the Lord and forgot the Holy Mountain, the NT Covenant. When Jesus called they did not hear or answer but went right back to that which God said in Isa. 1, that he delighted not in = the old covenant and blood of animals.

13. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

14. Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

15. And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:

Now you already know from my other teachings that Jesus left the OT. Covenant (law), without any food in it. Study Lamentations to prove this. It is all through the prophets. Now in v. 13, He says that his servants (the Christians) will ‘eat’ = be fed the bread from Heaven; but they (law people) shall be hungry. Why? Because all the prophets said he cut them off and would not feed them. That, which dieth, let it die. I will not feed you. (Zech. 11: 9)

We rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory due to the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, but they shall be ashamed. Why? Because they did not answer the call to come over into the New Covenant; they resisted the Holy Ghost; the Grace Covenant.

Verse 15 shows how God slew them and called his ‘servants’ by another name ~ = CHRISTIANS.

16. That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

17. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

18. But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

19. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

20. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

21. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

22. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.

24. And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.

Now in these verses is the proof that the new heavens and new earth are NOT what everyone believes; they are not a new planet or life after all this is over.

Read this carefully and prayerfully. I will also bring other Scriptures proving this in another installment.

V. 16 speaks of the blessing of the New Covenant beginning at Pentecost.

17. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Rev. 3: 14. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; these things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Rev. 1: 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

8. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Now this said Jesus is the beginning of the creation of God. He was the first BEGOTTEN of the dead. He was the beginning ~ but of What? The beginning of the new heaven and earth = the New Covenant of Grace. The resurrected Jesus is this new heaven and earth. Jesus is the Holy City. Jesus is the Holy Jerusalem. Now don’t go jump off the deep end and refuse to read this; study this if you truly desire truth and revelation.

Jesus was the ending of the Old Covenant of law. He is the end of the law for righteousness to those who believe. Is this not Word? Of course it is.

Jesus was made of a woman; made under the law; this was a fleshly man – first man Adam; of the earth, earthly; he was part of the Old Covenant here. But, Jesus came forth a new creation when he was resurrected from the dead. We who are baptized into this body of the Holy Jerusalem, Jesus, are a New Creature.

11Cor. 5: 17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Gal 6: 15. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Now there is enough proof that all in Christ Jesus are new creatures; for we are part of his body, this New Creation of God = the new heavens and earth.

Now back to Isaiah 65 for proof that the new heavens and earth are NOT THE ETERNAL WORLD EVERYONE THINKS.

Verse 18 speaks of the rejoicing of the Christians in the Holy Ghost.

Verse 20 proves death is in this New City. It shows that our life is not eternal in this Holy City; for a person in Christ who dies at 100, is still considered a child. But one who rejects Christ this long is accursed.

Verse 22 speaks of our Christian work which will be rewarded eternally. We will not lose our rewards for our labour.

We are the blessed of the LORD and our spiritual children.

V24 shows our power in Christ to be heard because we now have His Spirit living inside us.

V25– The wolf, which is shown in Scripture to be false teachers, and the lamb, which is children of God feed together. Now what is this?

Jesus said the tares (same as the wolf) and the wheat (same as the lambs) grow until the end of the world. The seven churches all show saints and sinners in there together; all feeding together off the Word of God. The parable of the fish net showed that they gathered both bad and good in that net of the gospel preaching. They were both there until the angels came at the end of the world, drew that net in and SEPARATED THE GOOD FROM THE BAD.

So see then, that this in Isaiah 65: 25 would have to be speaking of a time when the bad and the good (wolf and lamb) are STILL FEEDING TOGETHER? It could NOT be AFTER the end of the world; it would have to be during the Church Ages.

The lion (which is shown to be the destroyers, evil workers) (until Jesus returns as a lion to destroy them)–shall eat STRAW— Straw is shown in the Word to be false teachings. Stubble is shown to be the children of the devil. So these evil lions are eating the straw, or the false teachings…..

And dust shall be the serpent’s meat.

Jesus called the hypocrites serpents and vipers. So this is saying the same thing said in Genesis that the serpents or evil people, eat ‘dust’, which is the worldly things; the things of the flesh. So, if this new heaven and earth were the eternal world of perfection, a new planet or something of that nature, HOW WERE THESE HYPOCRITE SERPENTS STILL THERE? See this COULD NOT BE THE ANSWER. This could not be an eternal, perfect world; for this clearly shows the serpents to STILL BE THERE, eating DUST, or earthly, material things, which will not exist in the pure Heavenly World after everything is finished.

But in His Holy Mountain, those truly in Christ, we do not hurt or destroy each other.

Date Posted：09/21/2010 11:44 PMCopy HTMLWhy do we baptize in the name of Jesus Christ?  This was asked on Yahoo q/a/
This was my answer:

No one who answered above me, that I can see, has this right.  I am just sorry to tell you all, but you need to come into the real truth.
You ‘Jesus-only’ folks have it all wrong, even more so than the trinities.

Father is NOT a title.  God does not have a title.  Look it up.  Do some research.  Search the Scriptures as Jesus commanded us to do. Show where God is said to have even one title.
You say holy ghost is a title….if so then tell me…how were the Apostles  and others baptized with a title?  How does a title get into us?  What good is a title inside me?

Not one single scripture says that these are titles of God.  Not one scripture says that Father reveals himself in the name of Jesus.  You are all just listening to false religions false interpretations and not seeking the truth from God himself.

You are commanded to search the Scriptures.  Prove what is good = it is written exactly as stated in the interpretation.
Hold fast to that which is PROVEN with At least two witnesses -= written Scriptures.

If you all do this, you will see that both doctrines are wrong.

The reason we baptize in the name of Jesus is because Jesus is our HEAD.  Jesus is the HEAD of man.  Jesus is the only authority that we can work under.
Not one soul has the authority, or right, to use the name or power of the Father.

Jesus did,  … and that is why he said, .. in the name of Father, son and Holy Ghost.  God the Father is the HEAD of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the head over the church, or humanity.

When one attempts to over-ride the power or authority of Jesus, and go to the Father, using the name of the Father, that person is WRONG.  Only Jesus has this right.
To use the NAME means to call into action the power of that one.

No human being has the authority to call into action the power of the Father.  We must work through Jesus and Jesus only.
This does NOT mean that Jesus is the only God.  It means we can only go through Jesus to get to the Father.
The false teaching saying that Jesus is God, and the only one, blocks everyone from finding this important truth.

But God holds you everyone responsible to study Scripture and find truth and obey it.

People cannot find the way out of mixing up Mat. 28:19 with the way it was actually done in Acts, so they made up a false doctrine, either denying the true way, revealed in Acts, or they (oneness folks) made up a false teaching saying that father and holy ghost are titles.

If so, why did Jesus pronounce these titles?   Why is it that none of you even question this and seek the truth?  Scripture cannot contradict itself.  So there has to be truth in all of this.  What I am telling you is the ONLY truth which does not have to fight the other verses.

In order to understand the truth about Baptism, one must first understand the headship. There are two major teachings on the Godhead. Both of them are wrong. The trinity doctrine says that God is manifested in three equal beings; of the same nature and substance.

But Jesus said God is a Spirit. The Word says that God is not a man. Jesus said after his resurrection, that he is still flesh and bone. He told the disciples, Feel me and handle me and see that a spirit hath NOT flesh and bone as you see me have. So, even after the resurrection, Jesus still said that he was not a spirit.

So, don’t you see that this says Jesus and God are not of the same substance? One is a human, and the other one is a spirit. There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the MAN Christ Jesus. That is right now in heaven; Jesus is still a man and God is still a spirit. So, this proves the trinity doctrine is a lie.

Jesus said my Father is greater than I. This disproves both teachings. (for the sake of shortening this message, I am only telling Scriptures; not quoting . You all know them; we have been over this so many times.) But, I will give a few important ones.

1Cor. 11: 3—But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is GOD.

Now, you may wonder why I am going to this in a message on Baptism: but this is absolutely necessary to understand the truth of Baptism.

Now, do you understand what being the head of someone means? It is the authority or leader; the one responsible for the spiritual well being of one. Also, the top man in a country is its head.

The head of the church is Christ. But Christ has a head. God is the head of Jesus. Now, all this is applied the same way. Unless you see that God is the head over Jesus; how can you see that Jesus is the head over man and man over woman? It is the same thing. So, if you deny that God is over Jesus; then you must also deny that Jesus is over us. Those of you who say Jesus is the same as God; you are denying that God is his head. For then you would have to say that man is Jesus; for the very same words say God is the head of Christ which say Jesus is the head of man.

As we are to obey our head, Jesus said he did always the things which pleased his head, God.

In Matt.28:19—When Jesus told the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, he was showing that what he said and did, he did under the authority of the Father and the Holy Ghost. Jesus said I came in my Father’s name. Now, the Jesus only people took this and went wild with it. They say this means that Jesus is the name of the Father. But this is not what it is saying. When one says they do a thing in the name of someone or an organization, it simply means you are doing this by the other person’s authority.

So, when Jesus said I came in my Father’s name, he was saying what the rest of the Word says; that the Father SENT the Son. Jesus said I do only what I see my Father do; I say only what I hear my Father say. See, this was his authority.

Now, re-read the Word in 1Cor. The only one who is said to be directly under the authority of the Father is Jesus. So, this means that Jesus is the ONLY one who has the authority to invoke the name of the Father. He is the only one who has a right to call the Father into action. This is why it says we can only come to the Father through Jesus; we can not go directly to the Father ourselves; we must go through Jesus.

So, by the same token, man can not use the authority of the Father in Baptism. We are directly under the authority of Jesus. We need go no further: indeed, we can not go any further; to try to do so is to reject the headship of Jesus and try to go over him; over his authority to get to the Father.

So when the disciples baptized, they only said in the name of Jesus. For if they had tried to use the name of the Father for their authority to baptize with, they would have been wrong; for they would not have been submitting themselves to the authority of Jesus.

There is no place in all the Scripture where any one was baptized saying the words, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. For, the apostles knew that Jesus was their head. They did not try to over ride this authority.

Acts 2:38—Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you (this still applies to every one of you)–in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Now, here is why so many do not receive the gift of the Holy Ghost: they refuse to obey baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.

v41—Then they that GLADLY received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

So, see, those people GLADLY accepted this word as the way of salvation: they obeyed this: 3,000 people.

Acts 8:16—For as yet he (the Holy Ghost) was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

This is the next time it is mentioned as to how N.T. Christians were baptized: in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they received the Holy Ghost; according to the promise.

Acts 10:44-48—- After the Gentiles to whom Peter had gone and preached, received the Holy Ghost, for they heard them speak with tongues…v47—Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

See, they knew these had received the same experience they received , for they heard them speak with tongues.

v48–And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.

Now, here is one of the N.T. commandments. This is the one people need to be concerned about obeying. This is the one connected with receiving salvation.

Acts 19:1-7—Here Paul met some believers who had been baptized by John the Baptist; he asked them if they had received the Holy Ghost since they had believed. They said they did not know about the Holy Ghost. Paul asked them how they were baptized then.

v4- Paul told them they needed to be baptized in the name of Jesus.

v5—When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

v6–And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Col 3:17—And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Now, these are the only Scriptures which show exactly how the apostles baptized people. And it says to do every thing you do in the name of the Lord Jesus. Baptism is both in word and deed; so it must be done in the name of the Lord Jesus.

To try to use the name of the Father is to try to over ride the authority of Jesus. God will not accept this. No one except Jesus has the power to invoke the name of the Father. No earthly man has this authority: so no one has the right to baptize you in the name of the Father. When we submit to the authority of Jesus, we are thereby under the indirect authority of the Father: we can not be directly under the Father: Jesus is the mediator between us and the Father.

There is not even one place in the Word where any one baptized saying in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. They always said in the name of the Lord Jesus. This is the only correct way. This is the only way God will remit your sins. This is the only way which will bring you the promised Holy Ghost; for this is the condition which you must meet in order to be in position to receive the Holy Ghost. There is no other way given in the Word of God. To do it any other way, is to reject God’s provided way; his commandment; and accept some man’s way, which is in defiance of God’s chosen way.

Lord Jesus, I pray that every one who reads this message will see the truth of this and submit themselves to your authority and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus and receive the Holy Ghost. May they also see that this way is not because you are the Father; but that you are under the authority of your head, God.

Thank you Lord Jesus for revealing this great secret to me.

Jo
