#ButWHOCanOrWILLBESavedButDoersOfMOSES? #NextNextFridaysMasses (12/23/22) Mal 3:1-4, 23-24, Lk 1:57-66...
I think this is one of the most curious teachings taught wrong for so long, even while the passage and person of John the Baptist is so prevalent in the Church!
In other words, without THIS...
Mal 3:1: "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts."
..this messenger and a preparing of the way IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE JESUS AND BE SAVED!!!!!!!
Mat 13:3-4,18-19: "And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: … Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side."
Even Jesus starts His ministry NOT with receiving Him but with REPENT FOR the Kingdom, which is He is nigh!
Mat 4:12,17: "Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; … From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Jesus becomes the JOHN of His day at first picking up that mantle first! Every sent one is that first!
The "Kingdom" AT HAND is ones maturity! It is the BEing as Jesus is rather than a separate BEing come. But many in the Church, even though this passage above is known and not discarded, will still preach and act like Jesus can just be given and that's it! And this is why so many are NOT SAVED even now and WHILE "saying" Jesus is Lord!
Mat 15:8-9: "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
There is a softening and weeding of the heart that MUST happen FIRST! See that whole Sowers passage...
Mat 13:18-23: "Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 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. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
The extent of how much the heart and soul needs to be tamed and how long this process may take depends on the extent of this...
Prov 22:5-6: "Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
...and just how wild the person per right way of thinking is and how far they are from the Truth when the Sower begins to sow the Word! Paul because of this..
Phil 3:3-7: "For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ."
..had an IMMEDIATE transformation! Evangelism is WORK!!!
2Tim 4:1-5: "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."
You RARELY will get to teach a sermon or give a quick word and see one fall out for Jesus!
Mat 18:21-22: "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."
John the Baptist was preaching to Israel for YEARS before Jesus as the Lamb was made known and even then Jesus taught and taught MUCH before ACKNOWLEDGING any as His disciples as in true believers as opposed to ones who just followed. It was like going to Church. The pastor knows not all in the building are saved in truth or shld know!
This is why the next verses in the reading are like unto this...
Mal 3:2-3: "But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness."
... while in this first state of preparing or if unprepared is ones heart as we see in the parable of the Sower, NO ONE has the ability to stand in the presence of God and live! NO ONE...
Gen 6:1-3,5-7: "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. … And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them."
Exo 19:9-13: "And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount."
Heb 12:25-26: "See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven."
Heb 10:19-23,26-29: "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) … For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"
Only covered by Grace and Truth is it possible and ONLY does Grace and Truth with Jesus and NOT by John or any preparer...
John 1:14,16: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. … And of his fulness have all we received, ...."
Remember that Adam had to till the ground of his heart as the 6th Man of Earth, still! Jesus is the Sabbath Day Man! Remember that Adam and Eve fell because they had not this Grace yet!
See the matter of this timing here, too...
Rev 6:12-17: "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
And this is why after laying out the steps in the process of Jesus, REPENTANCE IS FIRST, which is the preparer and NOT FAITH!
Heb 6:1-2: "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."
So we see it's IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE OR RECEIVE JESUS until the heart is prepared by repentance! See how the FIRST STEP is REPENT and THEN comes faith IF one repents! And this is why Paul says these things next...
Heb 6:3: "And this will we do, if God permit."
.. because this cld happen and one no longer able to even repent, stopped by God.
Mat 13:15: "For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; LEST AT ANY TIME they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
Heb 12:14-17: "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."
...and then Paul finishes the matter with these things...
Heb 6:7-8: "For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."
In other words, at some point, the ground isn't tilled or the heart prepared because the person wills it not to be! This one will NOT be able to stand in the light! And THIS is why so many CANT be around me and think it is I who needs to be shaded or slow down! Anything but to give me honor just like they do with Jesus...
1Jn 1:5: "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
2Tim 2:20-23: "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes."
(See it from the perspective of YOU BEING THE GREAT HOUSE)
Mat 13:37-43: "He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
And this is this said in another way in Malachi...
Mal 4:1-3: "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts."
Gotta stop seeing Jesus as a separate Son or Being come to get to your expected end!
Let me go and say, if you look at the last verses of the reading...
Mal 4:4-6: "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
..you can't get into the Prophet coming to prepare without also looking at the TOOL HE WILL USE to prepare the Way...
"Remember ye THE LAW OF MOSES my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments..."
It's why John speaks of MOSES coming before Jesus, too, and STILL is it by GRACE the Law..
John 1:16-17: "And of his fulness have all we received, AND GRACE FOR GRACE. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
But, while the Church is so fast to DISMISS the Law as if it is irrelevant to them because of Jesus, see these other things said..
John 5:46: "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me."
Mat 5:17-19: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
It is BY THE LAW STILL that only the heart CAN BE PREPARED to receive Jesus! Amen! See it from this angle eliminating the BEING JESUS replacing Him with another Word for Him, LOVE...
Rom 13:8-10: "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."
Selah?
And see these things...
Gal 3:19-20: "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. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one."
Heb 1:7: "And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire."
Gal 4:1-2: "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father."
...and the time for putting them away or Moses which MUST COME...
2Cor 3:15-18: "But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
(Beholding WHAT but the Way WHICH IS IN PRINT, MOSES'S LAW)
1Cor 13:8-13: "Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
See the "glass" in the verse before last above? It is the EXACT SAME as "glass) in 2 Cor 3 above! We see darkly how the law helps us even as the new student concerning their teacher, at first. If the student knows, what's the point of the teacher? And to know and BE what you know that is Godly is salvation and the Sonship!
When the teachers and commands can be put away the Son or Sun is REVEALED, grown and finished!
Yes..
1Cor 11:3-4,7: "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. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. … For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."
Luk 11:33-36: "No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light."
But until that time the commands are OUR HELPERS AND NEEDED and society depends on them for mutual cooperation unto earth peace. You can not just dismiss the Law of Moses! It is what PREPARES YE THE WAY!
When the law or the prophet which is anyone sent to prepare you by the laws and train you stays or is needed past the acceptable time for that, the person reverts AND IS DESTROYED BY them! Yes...
Mat 13:11-12: "He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath."
1Cor 15:56: "The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law."
Rev 11:3-8: "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
(If you see it clearly, from the Individuals standpoint of one ACTUALLY FINISHED having FULFILLED ALL THE LAW and it IN THEM AND OF THEM, this latter part of killing the witnesses is a GOOD THING...
John 8:17-18: "It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me."
John 5:33-34,36-37: "Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. … But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape."
It is what it means to be CRUCIFIED IN FLESH! It is bad, universally, as the World and Church does this according to REBELLION having not yet received the fullness of Moses and so is sin and the sting of the law, which is death overcomes them even as it was with Adam and Eve! Help Me HOLY GHOST! Y'all got that?!)
Notice those witnesses, Moses and Elijah or the Law and the Prophet are who now have the power to destroy you! The SAME who had the power to raise you UP and finish you, but you wld not! See how ONLY the SON, which is perfected you must be in the end...
Heb 1:1-3: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 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; 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;"
... upholding things only by the WORD IN YOU!
Heb 10:14-16: "For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;"
Anything LESS and Christ must be formed again in you IF IT CAN or you are the walking damned...
Gal 4:8-11: "Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
Yes! For those of you STILL "needing" laws to command you in the time it shld not be, like a 40 year old in Kindergarten, THIS DESCRIBES THAT ONE...
Mat 24:14-15: "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)"
Yes!
Isa 55:11: "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
Thus, being void after the Sower has sowed does make you an abomination! Period! And you WILL BE CUT OFF like any other enemy!
The things I hear out of other SAID TO BE CHRISTIANS mouths as "truth" is ASTOUNDING! You are not God's or the Christ's!
Col 1:25-29: "Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily."
Compare that Matt 24 passage on the abomination mess and getting up the mountain with these things...
Jud 1:20-21,24: "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. … Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,"
Rom 1:16-17: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
2Cor 3:18: "But we all, with open face beholding (the Law, UNTIL) as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from GLORY TO GLORY, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Growing UP AND FINISHED AND PERFECTED are NOT OPTIONAL! They are commands that if not done sends you to hell AS SURELY AS YOU NEVER BELIEVED!
Mat 24:48-51: "But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Some of you think it's just about lying and cheating and adultery! But everytime you piss on "by His stripes" and perfect healing and NEVER sinning again, ye betray the Truth and side with Satan as much as the liar! Same with all ppl are equal and with Socialism and with the wicked notions of accepting all kinds and cultures just because they exist. None of that is God's Truth and Righteousness! They are of this World!
Beloved, can't get around this either...
Rom 12:2: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL OF GOD."
Consider you!
ONLY after you have prepared the way and ripped out every dumb ass ideal of the earth that you can receive the right way and Savior can this be...
Mal 3:4: "Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years."
Right now your offerings of "praise" and ideals of the earth and MAYBE right motives are just tolerated. They are not pleasant and longer for by God or Sonssss!
Gen 4:5-7: "But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 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."
Oh! But EVERYTHING I SAY AND DO is MOST pleasing to my God! I AM exponentially GREATER and that will continue to be without end!
Mat 13:31-32: "Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof."
Heb 7:15-16: "And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life."
Eph 3:21: "Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, WORLD WITHOUT END. Amen."
#MyTime #GOAT
EXACTLY...
Luk 1:57: "Now Elisabeth's FULL TIME CAME that she should be delivered; and she brought forth A SON."
And...
Luk 1:59: "And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father."
...that there was an EXACT DAY that a son shld be circumcised after birth in the natural means there is an EXACT SPIRITUAL TIME from the time one is pregnant with child of the Holy Ghost (which also has a cut off time)!
Gal 4:3-5,7: "Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. … Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."
Yes! Ye must prepare by a certain time AND BY THE LAW!
Rom 2:23-29: "Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 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."
Here was the punishment for not being circumcised in due time...
Gen 17:14: "And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant."
Yes...
Phil 3:3: "For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh."
And finally...
Luk 1:60-61: "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name (EXACTLY)."
And this name John is to say graced one! He was chosen by grace THOUGH he had the flesh lines and is why his name was to not be one his family ever had before. Yes..
John 1:9-13: "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
And this is true EVEN if you have the flesh and blood ties, too...
Rom 10:12: "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him."
Gal 3:28: "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."
Col 3:11: "Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all."
Yes...
Phil 3:7: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ."
Mat 3:1-3,5-9: "In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. … Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."
Ok!
