when the angel came down to see the creation of God

of the countenance be mindful, as one minds the hands of a clock, are they right or wrong in their speaking

In the beginning when the angel came and seen how beautiful and good the Lord God had created, formed and established the “Garden of Eden,” it was overly and eagerly infatuated with the “created” thing. Being moved out of sort by its own limited capacity: the effect of its inevitability: the fallibility of formed and created things and natures. And so, by a disassociation within its formed nature, through an overwhelming inordinate and irrational imagined type of “love,” “loving,” and “love for,” consequently the angel was ignorantly and thus foolishly moved by corrupt desire. An overly zealous and unruly affection by way it lost right perspective and an orderly behavior. It was found guilty of mistakenly loving the created thing before and above its first love and desire of love. That love was for, and it was from, the “Will” of its Creator. Of course the angel could not but be wholly astonished and moved by the Divine handiwork of God, as was all the host of heaven. Why did the angel come down, only God knows? However one thing is for certain, it did not leave as it had come, but from that moment onward it and its relevant countenance would never be as it was in its first instances of being - justified? Innocent? Blameless? Loved?

God’s creation excitingly and breathtakingly moved the angel. Its eyes pierced the purity and clearness of the springs of water and its bosom breathed deeply of the Elysian breathe and fertility of the land. Romancing in its thoughts the angel fell in love with the grand liveliness and bright greenness of the trees, at the sprawling herbage of vegetation, and at all the varieties of colorful fruits. Caressing softly the blossoms and the fruits which grew abundantly the angel found itself entranced. The angel longingly admiring with great affection the comely blossoms of the fruits which would soon become deliciously edible fruit: fruit bearing seed according to its own likeness. The angel’s watering palate drawn again and again by an irresistible desire to the appetizing attraction of the ripening fruit born to delectable ripeness. In the very same instance the angel beheld the glorious population and vitality of all the Garden’s diversity of plant life. Brilliant and vibrant were the massive congregation of flowers and sprouts, a very great throng of seedlings and buds, young and tender, large and small. An enormous ganging of grasses, reeds, bushes, hedges - a sprawling mass of botanical wonder crowded the ground. So very many kinds and formations grew lengthy and fatted, vivacious and uninhibited. And their bodies were covered in dew, sweating and dripping in nutrient rich vapors of “Holy Freshness.” The angel’s curiosity being bedazzled, tantalized, and intrigued, even marooned upon the divine horticulture of God, at its watering, fertilizing, and at its growth and strength.

All its faculties, mind, heart, and desire were pleasingly stranded in the Garden’s perfect life, in the creation’s life, light and wisdom from God. The angel’s cares pleasantly castaway upon an isle of goodness and beauty, liken to holy and heavenly settings. The spirit-being’s thought isolated, quieted, and left alone to drift in the Garden’s temperate and life-giving atmosphere. Above all things was the angel environed and well pleased by the Garden’s developments of serenity, peace and calm. Charms appealing congenially within the angel - supreme beauty. The “Garden of Eden” possessed a kind of supernatural, pious order quite similar and familiar to the angel that of the abode in the heaven.

Exquisitely enchanted the angel was absolutely struck in awe at the “Deep,” at the darkness of it, at the vastness of it, at the depth of it, and at the pervasive saturation of blue which colored even to the deepest reaches. And the angel found itself stymied and pleasantly confounded in amazement at the rich and beautiful myriad of teeming aquatic life. There again, before the angel could turn and catch its breath, the childish embellishment born upon its face burst in wonderment at feeling the strange, soft and invisible current of wind; even gusting gales forceful against its leaning and compensating silhouette. Astonished was the angel at the magnificence of the winged-creatures lighting and launching on streams of invisibility. So many, many sizes and variations of feathered-life, birds of flight took to the heavens graciously soaring and diving taking to their advantage upon the breaths of the Garden’s breathing. Solemnly they lifted sky-high upon their aerodynamic wings, rising upon the power of the wind, and splendidly in the precious gift of flight.

The Garden’s breezes, exhalations and inhalations divinely coursing, blusteringly and conveniently carrying a dashing fragrance of greenness, of plants, of trees; an interesting aroma of blue, of water, of sky, and a boasting odor of dust, of dirt, and of sand. All of which were fanned by the Garden’s very first breaths of life. Whistling and sweeping winds from the exhortation of life, high and driving, firm yet gentle, blowing and oscillating back then forth. And in the wind was an unction telling of a power and wonderful spiritual life-force flowing, pushing and prodding then pulling and gathering. Commanding directions blew upon all, touched and crossed upon the whole landscape of the “Garden.” Dancingly and delightfully, swirling and bristly, all at once, and all in unison, thus did lofty treetops, bold bodies of hedges, fat bosoms of bushes, lanky and thin reeds and grasses, even small plants and their leaves, all move and sway instructively at the heralding spirit’s solemn cadence and capable leading.

The angel was not any the less mystified but ever the more mesmerized; therein how sharply, intensely and momentously, how glued, fixed and immovable, than at the first was the angel’s mind rack and its wide eyes shocked. Both being altogether overwhelmed, so that the angel’s reverent, stocktaking and assessment of the Garden’s crowded grounds was interjected with an unequivocal mental sensation, a very powerful emotional and visual interruption. Its business stopped, as its mind’s attentiveness was stayed. An unbelievable sight captured the angel eyes and twisted its neck violently upward. Beyond spectacular, highly above outstanding, was the powerful mindboggling, eye-wrenching, neck-jarring, and breathtakingly view, thus was angel enthralled without measure at the glorious station of the sun to light the day, at the moon to light the night, and at the hosts of stars that marked the seasons of the earth. Each and every celestial body being intricately and orderly placed; all dutifully and carefully positioned by the Lord God. Singularly, each one designated by design to take its particular, appropriate and appointed place of watching. How blessed they are, and we too by their light shining, to wit, by their continuing but finite glory that we ourselves are touched and moved in the spirit by their testimony of the Glory and Wisdom of our God. Blessed by our spirit’s shining admiration, filled by the light of our reflection and aspiration upon the incomprehensible and infinite beaming of God’s Sovereignty in Holy Light: God the “Light of Life:” the Eternal Life, Light, and Glory reigning down upon the incredible things of the “Garden.” The millions and millions of inhabitants of the cosmos: moons, planets, stars, constellations, and galaxies, all signifying and speaking in the Spirit of love, joy, and faith; all of them boldly, continuously and triumphantly marching throughout eons of time. Now they are the heralding antiquities of eon’s past, of today’s presence, and tomorrow’s mystery; their durability witnessing and testifying of “Wisdom and Truth” since the “beginning.” Giving their due glory and honor to the “King of the Ages,” to His Word and Spirit: in Whom and with Whom the Lord God took council, together the “Trinity” of God proposed and purposed to call, form, create, and establish all [things] from nothing; in Divine super-nature and power, that is, within the will and work of the Word and Spirit, the bodies and truths of the “Garden of Eden” received their reality of life and light. An Elysian virginity of birth through Light, the very dawning Life of creation in Light, and in Life awakening to the goodness and beauty of Light.

Coincidentally not, but as with the facts of the “Garden of Eden,” verily was it in the will and purpose, in the testament and benediction, too in the fortune and charity of inheritance from God that angels waxed so prosperous. The angels subsequently subsistent in accordance with God’s “Unsearchable and Unfathomable” Word and Spirit of Life and Light, Truth and Wisdom. First of all things did the angel - all angels - received their very own individual and unique expertise and legacy, their formation of spiritual body, their exact premise of meaning and manner, and their distinctions in forms and principalities of Truth, even some to reflect powers of created-truth. Chiefly being spirits formed in their exactitudes by the Holy Spirit. But are they above the perfection of their God, being unaffected and none of them suffering from the effect of the potential phenomena of sin, not at all, as we have found and noted.

No. Not one of them is “Begotten” and sinless having an “uncreated,” pure substance and essence of Divine Holiness, an immediacy in the “One and Only” True God, being of that peculiar and extraordinary super nature which is perfection�"within and without sinless, unmatched, unrivalled, unparalleled. The “Begotten” is of that absolute quality and infinite quantity of the Father: The “Begotten” is the Word: The Glory of the Holy Spirit.

Again, going back to that first striking and inquisitive glance of the angel at the bodies and truths which opened wide and gawking its eyes; its mind too being wholly mesmerized, being grandly astonished, and thus was the angel spellbound and refrained. The youthful angel stunningly captivated, the angel’s young heart stayed exceedingly in delight. Its whole being and deportment absolutely completed in amazement at all it beheld. To worship? O’ how greatly in its unreserved enthusiasm, in its unchecked grandiosity, and in its zeal of uninhibited passion did the angel adore in adoration all the holy and good works of its God: the “Holy One,” the “Lord God Almighty,” “the Great ‘I am,’” to wit, “the Sovereign Amen.”

Unbelievably, perhaps unintelligibly because of its minute perspicacity of wisdom, but still detrimental to the angel’s demise, drastically did its countenance changed. Changing disastrously for the worst; its beauty was forever utterly marred and misshapen by the fall of its countenance. And fall it did. Falling within itself and from its high position. Because in changing its countenance it disembowel itself of an original beautiful meekness of spirit, gracious humility and glorified station. Thus the angel in the darkest, hidden corners of its mind and in the neglected, filthy recesses of its heart became deathly sickened �" fiendish. The angel’s mind dissuaded, plagued by sin; its body invaded, pervaded with the infection of sin. The angel’s countenance and thus its being also wholly given in and taken over verily diseased by sin. Indeed and in affect being grotesque of sin; the angel’s illness was fatal. Fevered in debasement and reprobation brought on by sin’s deep infection. Hence did it deliriously imagine and crookedly reason. Believing it could in the darkness of the light of sin and by the way of sin’s dark avenues�"that it could move undetected from its dilapidated house, from its ruined furnishings, and from its ragged chairing to somehow ascend “On High.” How then? Cleverly hidden from Holy Light? Stealthily concealed from the all-encompassing, the all-revealing, the all-seeing and all-knowing Glorious Light of the Divine? In the black obstinacy of the allure of sin? Via the darkest caverns of sin’s deceitful ways? Foolishly and secretly by sin submerging along the “Deep?” Surmising to pass unnoticed�"usurping the Holy Spirit? That it might sit in unholy majesty and sin … upon the Throne of the Most High God? Not! To plagiarize God Almighty? Not! To avenge itself upon its Creator and Benefactor. Not!

And least not but beside which, even before the face of the Most High, the angel disgustingly ravenous with the unholy rabies of sin and that sin hideously disfiguring its countenance and face. Dramatically, in the insanity of transgression, in the unsound reasoning of psychosis, and in the madness of evil so did the angel heinously mock, villainously accuse, humiliatingly scorn, despicably use, and evilly despise in loathsome references all the lowly creatures, the animals, the creeping and crawling things of the Garden. But ever the more profoundly, the angel hated the man for whom God specifically made and graciously subjected the Garden, the earth, and the heavens below Heaven.

It is undeniable that he who sins [all of us] is of the devil kind. Since we all imitate the angel when we too sin by commission or omission. For the angel because of sin and its acceptance and adherence to sin for the benefices of sin, which is lawlessness and transgression. In this iniquity the angel became the first of all the willful progeny of sin, the first “heir apparent” to all of sin’s possessions. And all who sin, thereby do they claim their right of inheritance, through rites of lawlessness and transgression. They formally declare their kinship with sin and surely with the angel through their unrighteous demonstrations and, indeed, by their deliberate transgressions against God’s Holy Will�"proclaiming arrogantly that they are spiritual and mortal family members of an unholy and evil generation of sin.

However it was, and it is, as of an unholy adoption process, unsanctified yet permitted in the Wisdom of Godly Truth. An adoption procedure which the angel willingly underwent, and which all of its kind even those of this generation now eagerly and in earnest chose to undergo. Hence, all becoming the abused stepchildren of their new and abusive stepfather. Yet, they do willing endure, delighting in and agreeing to the terms of an unholy decree and their master’s will.

Whether knowingly or unwittingly they are given over to sin. This legality which is without impunity, all must in the providence of truth and by that truth revealed discern our circumstance and situation, for our life is set in the blessings of freed will. And it is an eternal disposition of our spirit that is at hand. Thus by providence, soundly by grace, and confidently by the blessings of humility, so must we all make one of two choices: do we accept and choose to dwell wholeheartedly under the rules of iniquity in an adoptive father’s house? Furthermore, stay under sin’s roof and therein die ruinously within it, and thus moreover spend our eternity in the pit of darkness which is the sanctuary of the damnable: the abode of Hell. Or, instead, do we decide like hopeful runaways who rather fear the reproach of God, our Father, flee to the house of mourning and repentance. Seeking out a place for healing, soothing, tears, prayer, forgiveness, and love. Therein the faithful repentant shall be comforted by the hand of God, in the Holy Balm of Grace. For of such is God’s Kingdom, the Kingdom of Heaven. Our true home is in the Palace of Holiness, it is a place established before the Throne of the Lamb, and it is of our inheritance, our dwelling place of salvation and rest.

By the “Grace of God ‘I am what I am’.” For if left alone to the blinding darkness of sin, so would all be without hope in this created world; surely, we would ultimately kill ourselves - dying in and of sin. Happily, the enemy of this world, having its way in this world, would give to us all that we long for and desire, but only according to its terms of agreement and liability, that is, only if it will ensure transgressions, condemnation, and eternal death, and that to the glory of its master �" sin. Just as with its own inordinate longing and desiring, indeed induced by sin and fulfilled by it, so did the angel absolutely without a hope of mercy seal its fate, condemning itself to an eternal death without reward. Devilishly though the angel chose; willingly proposing to eagerly and earnestly live in accordance to all of sin’s ungodly and unlawful ways and means in life.

Markedly, the sin of “Pride” is the most ominous and obvious, the loudest warning and peculiar defect, noted of every sinner. It is truly the “sign” of the children of sin. Pride is the deepest penetrating of all inordinate affections from sin; moreover, it is absolutely the surest of all sins in its deadly effect. That is why the sin of pride was the angel’s very first curse willed, delivered and accepted from unholy inheritance: bequeathed and willfully received from “Sin.” And the vestiges of pride clothed the angel and its once beautiful raiment with the new fashions of arrogance. Pride like fine leather gloves befitting its hands, pride like an extravagant feather adorning its hat, pride like shimmering buttons fastened it coat, and pride like a pendant, a conspicuous coat-of-arms snapped tightly closed its cloak. Pride was worn well by the angel, settling perfectly about the angel’s frame. Thus the angel did strut about like a proud peacock modeling in the first bright rays of the morning sun. But pride permeated the angel’s bosom, malignant and incurable; pride deep within it ravaged the angel’s countenance.

Pride hurts. Pride always goes before the fall of the haughty, and God desires it so. Pride is the first and foremost cause of the deep fear setup in the arrogant. That kind of pride and fear is of the pitch black darkness of light �" the “lie. “How great is that darkness?” Can pride and fear ever be rational? Only when and if they rightfully complement our will, desire, and work. However, a fear which guards my pride, and vice versa, then these are not only irrational but in conversion is utterly decadent, eternally degrading and infinitely damaging. For the shielding of pride and the guarding of fear altogether prevents me from seeing and facing my true dilemma�"the sin and the lie which has vanquished my right humility and banished my good countenance.

Again, a healthy pride and fear is reasonable when they are properly received, realizing that their actuality is, and was, always for our providence, the parental concern and care which proceeded from God, Who alone is the very authority on “formed and created” life. For God is the very source and the very meaning of our life, of all life. Consequently, there is a form of wisdom and caution inherent in them, that is, when their direction and correction keeps me from hurting myself or others. However when out of sort these two in their wrong forms, in their extremes, and in their power of deformity sicken and destroy spiritual or mortal life. At that point they can become ultimately suicidal, homicidal, or genocidal types of insanity, spiritual and mental developmental disabilities. They then have become in reality fatal diseases of the mind and body, deadly actualities of disgrace and violence, eternally dishonoring and debilitating �" unrelenting resource for sin.

Pride is actually a spirit’s or a mortal’s, “live and in living color,” frightful apprehension, premonition, and recognition of not being “number one,” the “best,” in its own estimate. So much so that it dreads competitiveness for fear of having to be humble. Even providential humiliation through natural competition and selection is to be despised; abasement through correction, admonishment and edification is scorned; also mortification through the holy and orderly process of God ranking and right-sizing all things is demeaning to its countenance. Because of the course sin, in the distorted evil way of pride and fear, surely even this divine appointing and stationing is to the prideful and fearful intolerable humility. Never was there greater pride or, in its converse, fear in all the world than that which was found in the angel.

In a manner liken to hosting an evil “World Olympic’ competition, so excitedly and with all it energy and resource did the largeness and ignobility of “Pride” setup within the angel. According to its arrogant and frightening reputation of dissention and contention, pride came forth to formally host and to spend all of itself in making fit an arena well suited to accommodate all of sin’s games; literally within the angel’s bosom. Appropriately in the angel’s mind, heart, and verily in all its bowels took place all the abominable, scandalous and antagonizing events. And in pride there was conceived every unimaginable and horrid form of vile and evil sport and talent of competing. Every competitor boasting and bragging to win the vainglory of sin. The Faust gold, silver, and bronze medallion were won by the vilest and evilest sinful Olympians, namely, the “worst-of-all” prideful and fearful competitors.

And in wicked pageantry, pomp and fanfare each subversive champion of sin vainly paraded before their wicked judges and officials; dastardly striding in front of their coaches of evil and hordes of adoring followers. Altogether the whole congregation, those competing and those approving, every spirit with all its constituent souls, each one in unison pledging allegiance and singing anthems salutatory of sin. Seemingly, all the world hysterically participating. All the world being there poised and ready to cheer enthusiastically for their heroics of sin and likewise all screaming emphatically under their unique banners of sin. But in wretch dishonor and into the embrace of vice and death did the hosting spirits and the lost souls (winners by sin’s standards) of the world lean, tilted headlong toward their finish. So that they might appear sinfully triumphant under the sign of their unholy (angelically) and immorally (humanly) created idolatry.

To take the highest tier on the platform of victory, a stance and a place of prevail (truly shame and guilt) before their chosen idol of sin, to wit, in worship of the iniquitously vaulted and raised Olympic torch of sin, which represent the begrudging fornication of the world at play, rejoicing in sin and glorifying sin. World approved, that torch of sin is the presiding light of darkness, which they have set high above the deadly games played by sinners at worship, demons at their best. Be it known that God condemns all those who approved and entreated the blasphemous influences from sin. For it is sin’s issues that are the unlimited availability and supply of gaseous, flammable, and high-octane fuel of wicked affection, that feeds the monstrosity of conflagration burning upon their unholy and immoral idolized torch of idolatrous ideation.

It is the evil Olympic torch universally recognized by sinners. It is wickedly symbolic of the lively burning and consuming heart and hatred of their idol, of their god: of sin. In that the torch’s flickering and fighting flames and flares is represented the heart of sin, and its fiery hot beating palpitations surging through its chambers, the reciprocities pumping the fuel for the fierce beating of sin’s heart of hellish fire. This heart of sin, burning with the hottest fires hell, is sets in the bosom of all the fallen and lost, designating those that are specifically a life, a host, and an approved locale where all the riotous competition of sin and pride is tumultuously and premeditatedly taking place�"that is within the arena of their own mind and heart, according to their wrong attitude and bad behavior due to their fallen countenance. As a result there is always “created” and “formed” flames of pride and flares of fear within the sinner’s heart; always hotly clashing, whipping, dashing, darting, stretching, grasping and reaching pointedly upward. Clearly displaying the truest essence of the competition and competitors �" an indissoluble, contrary and ungodly countenance of pride in opposition to all that is Holy. Proportionately, also conversely, the flames and flares quite obviously animate the fight of sin, its pretentious battle to not lose some feigned kind of edge over its own temporal inevitability through the unrighteous sinner’s pride and fear. For just as the torch’s fiery flame hopes never to be extinguished, hopes ever to be kept lit by its sponsors and producers, similarly the fallen countenance filled with pride and fear ceases not to fight, vainly hope, and will not to fail in the production and sponsorship of sin:

Save until that day and time of its demise, in that day God Himself shall permanently disqualify and strike from all recorded history, from the mind and heart of every spirit and soul, every hint, mark, note, and registration of sin. Until then, the creation shows its suffering in that sin through it must and will compete tenaciously for the spirits and souls, angelic and the human, who incapable in their capacitance and inductance of sin, moreover in their infinite resistance to Grace and Truth will not, and so cannot be saved. Sin does it very best ever by contending against us with a powerful spiritual-motive force which amplifies false pride and magnifies haunting fear.

Whenever and wherever sin feels it is necessary to win or sees that it is losing ground in this reality of creation, it will breakout and use the power of pride and/or fear for its advantage. Using either one or the other, more probable, using both simultaneously in conjunction; if in any way they will bring about the defeat of a competing good spirit or soul; vice versa to bring about the victory of the sinner for the consummation of sin. Sin uses pride and fear to pervert a “thing’s” spirituality, morality, humanity, even using these in order to hijack the wild and beastly nature of higher life forms or the lower species of mortality, using all things visible and invisible to gain the victory, to champion over its opposition �" Holiness, and also “formed” and “created” life in this temporal reality of ours.

However the victorious winners in the creation are those spirits and souls who hold on to Grace and Truth, prayerfully and humbly maintaining and prevailing in their holy, good and right temper which speaks of a sound, steady, faithful, and defining degree of humility which they sought and found in God. This is the award-winning achievement and crowning measurement of distance, time, speed, or place meet which is of a holy quality and right quantity, and which wins for them accreditation and commendation from God. The “mark” of a right effort, an earnest performance, and a correct “clock like” keeping and setting of temper, which is the outstanding note of a good and humble countenance. And just like the accurate hands of the clock speak of its right inner working so does temper speak of our own good and right inner essence (paraphrase from, Andrew Murray, “Absolute Surrender �" The Fruit of the Spirit is Love.” This is the truest nature of champions, to run the race faithfully �" win or lose, to finish with the best effort possible in godly cheer, and to smile in their “just” countenance of fair and right competition. Knowing full well that in the “cheerful” doer of His Will God delights. Hence, the true winners are those faithfully trained and disciplined athletes, who know “Him” from “Whom” they shall receive their “Just” crown. For they have their mind and heart obediently set on pleasing their God, no matter the severity or difficulty nor the simplicity or ease of task. For these athletes no gold, silver, or bronze medallion, no accolades, fame, or fortune from those on earth has that quality of the exceedingly victorious reward as in that of pleasing their God: “Well done thou faithful and good servant.”

But the prideful in their self-exaltation is liken to a man who imagines and plans to construct a marvelous bed in which to take his rest. He is unable to recognize that what he has constructed is the form of his funeral pyre. A huge bed of coals upon which he has sought his rest. His bedding he has stuffed with charcoal briquettes of self-centeredness, contempt, ignorance, indignation, and dread which lay covered over with the new sheets and blankets of a lying countenance. All day long he works upon his bed. And when night has fallen the “enemy of life” comforts the man to rest in its deep sleep. Sin deceives the man’s friends into believing he is lying there dead and summons his enemies to go while he sleeps and end his life, and altogether they light the pyre of lies. Then everyone gossips, “Isn’t he the man who began to build and could not finish;” accusing the man, “Isn’t he the man who would not make God his friend,” and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

So will be the angel’s and all our final arrangements within our self-exalted, deceived and falsified belief system. Misconceptions based in sin and patterned after the lie were the perversions which cause the angel to pride-fully believe that it possessed a highness above all others and, then also, cause it to fearfully believe it would lose that which it never possessed, namely, preeminence above all. Such was the angel’s wicked grandiosity, a self-gratifying self-deception supposed under the inebriating influences of self-exaltation. The delirium of a self-proclaimed preeminence all but took the angels life. And this mania and depressive state of sin deformed the angel’s countenance, so much so that madness and insanity resulted, and the consequent was the angel psychotic belief and value system�"thoughts and imaginations which told the angel that it was above and before all the beauty and goodness which appeared before its eyes in the “Garden of Eden.”

An insane precociousness led the angel even to conceive a glorified haughtiness toward God in which it trespassed grievously. For in it pretention it dare to measured itself to God, and the deceitfulness of the sin of pride commended and justified its blasphemous reasons of highness. Its lopsided and unbalanced intellect fixed within the angel an uncorrectable goal to be as God. Above and beyond God? A goal to have a higher majestic preeminence than that of God. To position itself before the supreme preeminence which belongs to God alone, which is, Divinity and Holiness. Supreme Majesty, Glory and Honor, Peace and Blessings are sovereign dominions and absolute possessions of God: The High and Lofty One, Who inhabits eternity. He alone is above and before all things visible and invisible; whether they be things in Heaven or on earth.

For pride’s sake, so did sin poured out an inexhaustible and inextinguishable amount of the fuel “Lust.” From out of the vile vestiges of sin’s deepest wells gushed forth unholy oil, entirely saturating the angel. The highly flammable ingredients of: covetousness, idolatry, blasphemy covering the angel. Thus all the wicked contents of lust did pour out upon the angel, into its eyes and into its heart. A wicked anointing fuel of oil covered it from head to toe and from wing tip to wing tip. Ready to be set afire, the start of a blazing fire of iniquity. Forever since setting ablaze the hottest flames of the fires of hell now burning out-of-control within and without the angel. And its countenance was seared as with a red hot, iron poker. The ashes of its countenance falling heavily through the heavens below Heaven, blanketing heavily upon the earth, covering thickly the things of earth.

Decisively and adamantly, the sin of lust is always masterfully deceptive, a veteran crafty magician. Lust’s props and tricks ever the most cunning and cleverly deceitful. Sins performed by lust, acts artfully deceiving within its falsified fantasies set in darkly clouded lighting, cloaked performances of specious illusions and misleading delusions: smoky scenes of perverted truths, misconstrued ideas, and twisted thoughts these provoke harrowing temptation and promote strong and wicked imagination. Lusty slippery slants and sliding trap-doors open to evil delights in dungeons of inordinate concupiscence; sin’s off-the-wall, slight-of-hand, and its distraction of the eye techniques are practiced to precision. They are cunning devices from sin, of which sin abounds in, avail of, and attack with, tricks of sin which assay and unfailingly allure to a consent with death.

The lusting smoke billowed from the sin of lust is the cloudiest and thickest kind of choking envelopment. For it seek to cover over lies, and again by the lie seemingly alleviate the perpetual haunting remorse, self-pity, depression, jealousy, shame and guilt layered within some specific truths which hurt. For that matter, which are all too painful for the pride-filled and fear-filled conscience to bear. Sin helps the fallen conscience to deceive itself by an invented disassociation of itself, and that is of its own choosing. Thus does the “truth hurt,” but not providentially to repentance. The lies of lust believed and lived deviously kill and destroy the spirit all along the way to condemnation�"that by God’s “Will and Righteous Judgment.” So is lust evidence of sin; it is the proverbial “smoking gun,” in hand. Lust is a heavily dense cloud of forgeries, filled with all manner of spiritual and emotional insanities which surround and veil the eyes and hearts of fallen children, angels and humans.

And the sin of lust more than adequately supports “Anger” and “Envy.” These too are verily proof beyond doubt of the real and true offspring of sin. Iniquitous seeds raised up in the angel which cause it to do arduous loathsome work against God, His Word, and His Spirit. Sin’s progeny of anger and envy always sit waiting to persecute and despitefully uses all they can - the angel, the man and the woman. Using anything and everything for fulfillment of their wicked delights of hate and harm. They even used the beauty and innocence of the “Garden of Eden” to perturb the angel’s countenance. By arousing the unquenchable rage of a jealous imagination within it; worry, resentment and faultfinding are “chips off the old block” of jealousy in which the seeds of perversions, “Anger” and “Envy,” pride-fully exalt and glorify themselves. “Anger and Envy” vehemently impressing upon the heart and mind of the angel thus inducing backbiting beliefs, lies, and disturbing accusations. Convincing ideations of treachery and betrayal which they laid and blamed upon God, and the angel feeling begrudged moved in jealousy seeking to backstab and avenge itself against God. Sin’s seeds despitefully using the angel like a mere pawn - in reality beguiling it and persecuting it - within their own conceived and deliberated unholy and violent attack against Heaven itself. Anger and envy set to steeping the unholy vapors of the influences of sin in the angel. Boiling up huge sieging clouds of lust, insidious and cumulous clouds of green hues and saturations, jealously bitter clouds of poison which rose up out of the angel. And these were sent vainly in vanity against the “Kingdom of God.” Obnoxious smothering clouds fanned by the riotous motions of sin’s notorious children in the earth, within the angel, and soon from within and without the man. Envy’s and anger’s blasphemous fiery smoke stingingly singed the angel’s eyes. Searing the angel’s pupils which lividly burned and glowed bloody-red being filled with the heated fury and hate born in them by sin. So too did that filthy out-pouring of super-heated dark ash scorch and blacken the angel’s once white raiment.

Sin’s brash, wearisome and irritating course, in and by powerful subterfuge and perversion, easily misused, manipulate and abuse, the angel’s insufficient wit and strength, thus did sin with the efficiency of anger and envy debunk the angel’s will and presumed power. Sin dominating and forcing its very thoughts and acts. Sin possessively alive in the angel simply worked the angel’s will entirely against it. “Anger and Envy” inspiring in the angel signifying smoke-clouds �" a foul and violent message directed and meant for all heaven to see. The angel’s begrudging and raging sent up iniquitous clouds of smoke which spoke of the working of sin in and through it.

Powerfully seductive did all these vanities inherent of sin�"pride, lust, anger, envy�" abide, move, will, and work through and against the angel that it should “will and live” in opposition to its God. And the angel’s unholy faithlessness, disobedience, lawlessness, and acts of rebellion were forever noted as of the very first inklings of sin, an unheard of lawlessness in defiance of God: unknown and unfathomable provocations of “Pride,” “Lust,” “Anger,” and “Envy.” Firstly were these horrendous altercation verily alteration of the countenance of things the very beginning aboriginality of the angel to sin, just the first few “originalities” of sin. In a bonded spiritual kinship with these, so is the life and heritage of the angel. Similarly are all the kith and kin of the angel, who were or are today born in sin and of sin. They are the generations of God’s wrath, verily the progenies, comrades, allies, and associations of lawlessness and transgression. The assembly and hosts of evil doers who reject God, and despise the “Grace” of God that glorious gift granted to faithful children by the Son of God. To wit, “unmerited favor” in life, and that life of Grace began in created beauty and innocence, and in the Garden of Eden.

In accordance with all that is based in the prerogative of sin which is lawlessness, ungodliness, unrighteousness, all sin’s varied subversive courses: so without fail sin and its hereditary tenets drag the countenance down to the pit of hell’s abyss, and there bind it and discolor it with the lie. Binding all whom they have bound in spiritual chains of darkness, and that for eternity? Yes, exactly! Hence in their turn and in their immediate course the abominable twin set �" the terrible, untenable “Greed” of sin and the horrendous, unfulfillable “Gluttony” of sin �" did completely darken the angel’s countenance. Working together greed and gluttony caused and surely made the angel’s defiled will and desire to insatiably want and eat to more than its fair share, over-filling its stomach’s capacity; even much more than above what it could possibly hold. How obvious is the cause of its unquenchable demands and of its intolerable nausea which produce the vomiting of endless vile spillages of undigested wickedness and evil. The heartburning indigestion of a defiled countenance.

Therefore it was by the powerful dictates and forced-feeding of sinful matters from greed and gluttony which lead to the angel’s fattening and insolent countenance. And the result was an uncontrollable and violent heaving of enormous stinking heaps of abominable and insoluble lies, ill-imaginations, sickening temptations, detestable illusions, and diabolical contentions upon the world. The remains of villainy which ought not to have been desired and much less greedily and gluttonously devoured, which the angel insatiably enjoyed and so gorged upon. While it set hypnotically entranced under the twin spells of greed and gluttony, seated ignorantly and foolishly, even proudly and fearfully at the dining table of sin. Lust was the angel’s seductive and deceitful beloved mistress, a harlot who served the angel delicacies of fornication and idolatry; such are the unholy delights wickedly enjoyed at her table; also served in her bed �" a table and a bed, both a meal and a mattress adorn of lies. Moreover the enemy of sin, unbeknownst to the angel, is as an unfathomable, traitorous enemy: the friend who dipped his sop in the wine with his fellow yet all the while in his heart he treacherously conspires in his neighbor’s demise. Such is sin, the great betrayer of faith.

The angel was served a banquet of lies fit for a virtue less king. It was a royal feast of abominations fit only for the wicked and inglorious transgressor, having as much spiritual nutrition as the dust of the earth. Greed and gluttony’s sustenance did not benefit the angel’s countenance. They were as heaping plies of dirt and sand, cups of guile and wormwood, just worthless amounts of vain vanities dissenting the angel’s bowels. Yet, the angel could not but eat, it was not able to back away from the table, unable to resist the baffling inklings of “Greed” and “Gluttony.” The dark power of these forcibly cause the angel to stuff itself, even as they also subtly and ever so slight-fully eased more and more and more …, spitefully into its stomach bite by bite. Like a magically delicious potion, greed and gluttony seemingly lessen the angel bloating tension with every morsel: the new and filthy sustenance for its countenance, all that it could swallowed. They fueled an unending appetite, and yet allayed the angel’s discomfort in its taut and tightening bowels. Greed and gluttony combined together is a powerfully evil facilitation which readily induces an insanely, insatiable appetite and which also makes the necessary and harmful accommodations for all of their ill-spawned, self-gratifying, and exceedingly enamoring affections for sin. To the effect that the angel should taste, eat, enjoy, and wickedly celebrate all its gatherings and assimilation of lawlessness, ungodliness, and unrighteousness. And to the angel these were fine foods deliciously palatable upon its tongue, fit for its avaricious gullet, but produces an awful emptiness within its gut.

Greed and gluttony hurriedly and plenteously served up mind-boggling, mouth-watering, and gut-wrenching spiritual and physical temptations and desires of sin. Serving their favorite family recipes handed-down from the traditions of sin’s unholy menus. Ailments wickedly nourishing for the unrighteous and unaccepted, whose will is to do no good; for   reason greed and gluttony sustain their vile countenance. Feeding the unjust in the way of sin, even as they journey to and fro, far and wide, throughout the earth. They eat victuals of lies prepared with unholy seasonings; unclean parts, simmered and boiled in the blood, rejected fats and entrails served pressed down, shaken, and in full measure; conjured soups served in dark vessels; sickening porridge thickened with lies, slopped in abundance to the servants of sin.

Greed and gluttony’s are always creditable to those of an evil account. However the bill is only payable with spiritual obedience, with bodily indebtedness, and with the servitude of the countenance in sin. But the surcharge is death. Sin in all its deadly might was forcing wide a ravenously vile and evil capacity in the angel’s fallen and now foul countenance of will and desire. And the children of sin, greed and gluttony, are wickedly the worst of dastardly creditors always charging an abominable usury. Knowing full well the angel’s bankruptcy; its inability to pay with nothing but its very life and being. Ransoming the angel’s life to the effect that whereas in its abjection, its blasphemy, sin should coarsely own, terribly use, and horribly direct the angel’s unholy volition. That it [the angel] should even to the point of eternal death, the condemnation of its spirit, continue to stuff to full the sacrilegious mongering and unholy hungering now baying in its countenance. That it should utterly, detrimentally long for that which it had now seen, for that which did not belong to it; moreover it long for that which is the inheritance of the “Son of God.” To wit, the angel sought for lordship and dominion over that which sin had tricked it into assuming and thus believing. That it could be as God. However even more preposterously than that that it presently was above the “Most High” God. Thus consumed absolutely in sin, and the conniving “lie,” therefore the angel in its fallen countenance vainly suppose that all creation should be in subjection to it. As for the man, in his bloodied countenance, he assumed that he should have been first and that his brother ought to have been in line behind him: therefore he killed his brother. “If you do right, will you not be accepted? Wherefore, then, has your countenance fallen? Sin crouches at the door and its desire is for you, but you should be its master.”

The light of the body is the eyes, if the eye be single then the whole body is full of light, but if the eye be evil the whole body is full of darkness; how great is that darkness. That which goes into the body does not defile but that which comes out defiles. For that which comes out issues from the heart. Therefore, if the eye be dark and the heart be defiling, then the life is an “Abomination of Desolation” lying within, spewing without, and this state of life and living is a condition worse than reprobate state of lawlessness in sin and far worst then the mere death of the mortal body alone. For it speaks of divine judgment and conviction: the final sentence of condemnation by God, the punishment of the second death, that is, eternal death, which God shall executes upon the abominable and desolate spirit or soul. How evil its eye, how dark the light of its spirit body; hence how wickedly defiled and how greatly defiling must have been the heart, the fallen and perverted countenance of the angel twisted by sin. The angel who had fallen in the middle of the beautiful “Garden of Eden.”

Masterly and markedly worthless, a degradation into the deepest realms of the profane, so is agreement with sin a grossly enjoined and a dutifully practiced “Sloth,” that is, a contemptuous and feigned “good-for-nothingness,” an inconvenient “rest-of-not-doing,” and a stifling “sham-of-triviality.” Shall “The Amen” say of these “Well done?” Why? …, of course not! These are the gatherings, the meetings places of the delusional and the vain rally points of protestation determined by the wicked. They are the hidden campsites of the obstinate and sinful procrastinators. The secret caves of the lazy, their hideaways, even their very own fall and ambush in the deep and dark pits dug by themselves, and which catches slothful sinners along sin’s path. That broad and crooked trail of the “enemy of life, booby-trapped with enmity and vice, bait for the sinful. It is that conspicuous trail trodden down by sinners heavily laden with knapsacks full of vain ideations, carrying wicked loads stripped void of all the equipment and necessities helpful in the holy inspirations and aspirations of life. Therefore are these wicked hikers lost and destitute in the wilderness of sin in which they wonder foolishly. They have cut themselves off from the holy. Having erred and chosen the wrong path they hardly realized that they are stranded in the death of life. Choosing to be slothful and travel sin’s back roads in order to avoid sanctified labor. Verily witless procrastinators seeking a way around the duties of love and righteousness, good deeds done in the charity of love and a humble countenance.

How unbreakable and shatter-proof are sin’s heavy duty fittings of sloth. They are supernaturally hardened nuts, bolts, and fasteners, tightened and sunk deeply into the walls of the pit of hell. They anchor firmly and solidly lock down the countenance imprisoned by sloth. They hold fast humongous, fat links of a chain - the chain of sin. And the chain is forged of sloth’s three greatest densities, namely, unholy laziness, wasteful procrastination, and unforgiving complacency. It is a spiritual and a physical chain which is shackled about the mind and the body to binds inescapably that spirit or soul captured by sin. They are willful exiles, wickedly excusing themselves from all work that is precious in piety, choosing rather to abide on isles of sloth. Having chosen to dissemble in a loathsome society of sin and profanity. In their patriotic “good-for-nothingness” so the ungodly stand still in defense of sloth. They fear not but do madly assert contemning disrespect in their laziness toward good, adding rebellion to complacency in not doing God’s Will. Sloth so profanes them that they can only wickedly imagine and procrastinate in sin, in lies, in iniquities: “rest-of-not-doing” and in “shams-of-triviality” aspiring to assimilate the villainous ill-nature of sloth.

Conveniently for the “hard-charging” sinner the advantages of sloth, procrastination and complacency, seems to have landed them an executive position with a large office on the top floor of a high-rise skyscraper at the intersection of “Carefree” and “Easy street.” Their coveted promotion to “CEO,” earned by their great insolence and dependable indolence, the successful traits of the wicked. The worry-free and comfortable perch of the arrogant and lazy, the “Fat cats” of “Sin Street” of sin. The vile watchers of evil stock markets,” whose talent of iniquity call for the least amount of effort and time to buy-out, incorporate, and defile whole districts of people and their failed businesses, poor souls and their fallen countenances. But at the end of the day’s session, at the toll of the final bell for margin call, at the last tally of all their sinful accounting, the loss of their eternal life is the exceedingly great gain and reward of their business of sloth.

Too little, and too late, do sinners realize that the wicked responsibility and accountability of sloth, which lay upon the head and shoulders of the “would be” proprietor of sin, is but the deadly task of minding an illegal racket that is corrupted and extorted by the hooligans and thugs of the “underworld.” Always under the surface suffering crushing bankruptcies, never-ending woes, unforeseen troubles, and legal difficulties with the law. It is a business that on paper is always in the black, but in the truth (heart) of it, always in the red; indebted, it is up to its neck and at its credit limit with sin. It is the “sham” of a company which is based in iniquity, which is unsustainable, and which is always unprofitable, and the owner of it is forever losing his head, and on the brink of collapse and failure. His name (angel or man) and his logo (eternal spirit or immortal soul) sold and bargain off to evil. In the end the fall of it and loss of it shall be great, unrecoverable and unredeemable.

Slothful dealings are like a sinner’s trust in an “early retirement plan,” though truly it is absolutely untrustworthy. Unaccountable laziness, procrastination, and complacency are the assets, evil savings, and despicable interest compounding, yet only unto death. These are their unrighteous investment in unholy bonds. Their trusted savings put into a demonic fund, from which they expect dividends to be paid based on sin’s dark markets. These are worthless capital for things profitable for condemnation; things that ought not to be done in the dark or the light at all. But this is the dead’s decadent advice proffered by their hired advisors, the misinformed speculating agents of sin, to wit, sloth, procrastination, and complacency. The balefully sufficient suitors and death-dealing counselors of the angel and the ungodly. Sloth is a representative of faithlessness, of disobedience, of ungodliness, of unrighteousness, unkindliness and inconsideration. These are verily and exceedingly contrary to holy work. Guarantors of decadence, decay, and the death of those who heed their council. They are the ways and means of the contented, pinning spirit or soul maligned by sin and in agreement with sin. Those that work not at all and are reprobates rebels of God’s holy commandments of life: charity, love and truth. But whose spiritual and soulful negligence is the death of labors of mercy, forgiveness, and peace; thus will they not receive either. Theirs is verily inactivity in the blessed and holy work pertaining to the building of God’s Kingdom on earth�"that is in us. That is a Kingdom of righteousness, holiness, and a blessed and sanctified rest.

Sloth is truly a top agent with sin, and it is the principal means of sin’s manner of undoing. Truly the wicked spirit or soul’s very own punctual undoing is its inactivity in righteousness and goodness. Of the seven deadly sins, of them all, sloth is by far acclaimed as the slyest. For in promoting stillness�"inaction of the spirit or soul in good works�"sloth seeks to condemn that spirit or soul with the very “death” of the spirit or soul’s lively action upon the virtues of good and righteous works. Therein, sloth tries to kill by a wicked diplomacy. Cleverly and cunningly suggesting a shutdown and drastic minimization of the spirit’s zeal for the ways and means of holy labor. But firstly of all things the humble humility entrusted upon spirit-life, also upon mortal life as well, is listening and heeding the “Word of Life;” indeed, in faith and obedience “doing” good works of service in God’s will �" Love. That is the spirit’s abundance of Life.

However, the menacing of sin by a heretical, political savvy of sloth encumbered the angel countenance weighted it down with lies. Hence the angel by its forked-tongue, by use of a quiet cleverness and by reliance upon a lie, possessed the lowly serpent. Thus did the angel through the serpent’s mesmerizing hypnotic stare and feigned solemnity entrance and indeed instilled, lowly whispering in Eve’s ear, plausible but deceitful words. Similarly, in her naivety, Eve looked and spoke beautifully, instilling in Adam’s eyes and ears, indeed in his naïve heart, importunity for the forbidden fruit, and all the unholy verbiage supplanted in her mind and heart by the angel - a blatant and cold-blooded lie. That abominable lie which lead inevitably and tragically to doubt, disbelief, faithlessness, and desolation, the break with God’s Word. Consequently and remorsefully, the man and the woman’s innocence procrastinated into shame, guilt, and fear before the Lord. They were as dead; their innocence sabotage, and their “one time,” once-upon-a-time,” virtuous, poor, mournful, humble, meek, pure, peaceable, righteous spirit and countenance discolored, even in a slothful repentance of sin. For they could not forthrightly humbly and repentantly bow down in their now twisted mind, heart, and fallen countenance or simply confess the transgression minister upon them by the angel. Nor could they hardly admit and neither did they seek or ask forgiveness of their own lawlessness and failings. Of which God foreknew. And, in His Divine patience and tolerance, waited in the “Grace of Truth” to forgive. Hence was and is the infectious, hideous, and powerful sickness of sin, even a prognosis of sloth, which is a fatal disease of the unwary heart and the neglected countenance.

Sloth is a very decadent spiritual malady. A manner of evil resolve useful in the work of death upon the sinful procrastinator, the spirit or soul who is twice dead in sin. They are still and silent pictures of desolation, verily living vision of emptiness and vanity; willful presentations and viewpoints of sloth. Precisely set up, they are synced high-definition slides highlighting the vain high-resolution images of sin’s lazy attractions. How grotesque is their spectacularly evil representation of the life and death of beings with no consciousness of the holy remaining in themselves, having only the witness and testimony of a fallen countenance reserved in their spirit.

And just as organic matter that is dying pines away in decay becoming putrid in the earth, without the breath of life in it; likewise does spiritual or soulful matter that is dying of sloth pinning away in sin is defiled, dead and abominable�"a stinking defilation of spiritual essence, which is torn apart and eternally separated from the Holy Spirit because of its evil countenance and the deeds wrought by it. And, thus, being found in such a low estate, as a matter of fact and right judgment, it is bury in the bowels of the earth and chained in eternal darkness as a result of its defilation and fallen countenance in sin �" particularly in the devastation of sloth.

Save that in good cheer and in the service of love, sloth ought to be in a spirit of love and obedience vehemently worked out, happily casted aside, and hurriedly buried. Unless sloth in its lazily and patient kind of ways and subtleties slip in and eventually be allowed to produce the agony of self-pity, the mangled and poor countenance which surely causes a weeping and a gnashing of broken teeth, of broken homes, of broken families, of broken marriages, of broken hearts, and of broken promises. But however of the utmost importance in striving against the sin of sloth is vigilance and watchfulness for that worst-of-all crippling handicaps of the countenance, a flaw quite congenial but sinister to formed and created essences. The one outstanding, most notorious, and threat-fully looking outlaw, heinous in character, well noted for the worse evil exploits, having the most well-known hideous and frightening face: the “poster” child of sin, it is that which most grossly deformed the angel and it was the greatest evilness of the angel’s countenance�"self-righteousness. The most bitter and poisonous herb of self-flattery stemming from the root of complacency. A self-perceived, too high, “head in the clouds” sky-high, arrogant self-esteem. A fanatical rigidity of an exceedingly obstinate quantity and quality of self-importance oblivious to the wicked spirit or soul; that seems to be completely undetectable. Yet does it not with a painful blow to the ego-mania and inferiority complex set to rage the countenance? Infuriating our false pride, and so igniting our highly flammable fuels of fear which we try our best to hide in our complacent countenance.

Moreover is not a compliant complacency living and lingering within�"ingrained deep down in the spirit, mind, heart, flesh, bone, soul, and strength�"the cause of a self-imposed disease: a malignant and incurable tumor of narcissism? This is a diagnosis of the horrifying and deadly neoplasm of complacency, and it is manifested by the cancer-like cells of procrastination which stem from the toxins of sloth in the countenance �" the disease of sin exceeding at its worst. In that powerful notion and attitude of self-exaltation, self-delusion, and self-love the angel was fooled in itself, being errantly “puffed-up” in its spirit, heart and mind. Should not the angel, above all others, have known and feared the Lord God? Of course. Was not its work even as ours? To simply work the works of belief, to “believe” God, as did Abraham, who believed God and in his work of belief and faith manifest a right countenance within, within his godly life, and toward the Truth which God spoke to him. But the angel wiser and more power than Abraham, so it would seem, did not adhere to its estate and faithfully do the work of God. Why not? Because it “believed” sin and love the false illusion of beauty feigned by the “lie.” For still trustingly the angel unwisely, arrogantly, wholly, and how inappropriately even sickly; how insanely it clings to self-righteousness, selfishness, and self-centeredness. For it must because sin now reigns powerfully and eternally in its body, these are the truths of the angel and its fallen countenance. Even today clinging hopefully, though in truth hopelessly, desperate to celebrate a victory that shall never be manifested by these; although it obviously knows unmistakably that it is now closer set nigh to the severity of the judgment of its God in these last days. How rebelliously is it sitting and waiting anxiously upon the steps of hell. Its narcissistic attitude, the very disdain countenance which justifies all the hate inside itself, while loathing with evil accusations and lies anything and everything outside of itself. The greatest dynamo within the spirit and body useful to sin that silently runs unheard, yet it is producing an unlimited energy for evil; it is hidden in the deepest, darkest recess of the sinner’s bowels as not to be noticed is the enormous turbine of complacency, which produces the deadly effective motive of self-righteousness. The power wattage of complacency, the amplification and magnification of the motives of narcissism, more than any other inordinate and sinfully derived emotional tendency facilitated the angel’s convictions and the fall of its countenance.

The Lord God in His Will first endured the aspects of sin, that is, the negative, vain, and vexing nature, the sight, the sound, the labor, and all the activities and deeds of sin in the Garden; as its very first affects and effects snared and reigned in the angel, then the man, the woman, their seeds, their seeds’ generations. Why did God allow sin’s reality to unfold then activate and become�"a partaker, a constituent, a law, an opposition, and a spirit of created truth? For the pureness of His absolute Truth? For His will and purpose? Does not sin exemplify the heights of forgiveness, and thus magnify the reign of the “Living hope of Love?” God is the Life and Maker of Truth, the Life and Giver of Love, and He is the Living Hope in the reality of the creation for all who love Him and will to be loved by Him. For God is exactly the secure promise of eternal life for all who believe the “Good News” of the Gospel.

God by Word and Spirit has anchored the unshakable things of His Will, Grace and Truth, a “Living Hope” which is the blessing of holy redemption through Jesus Christ. The son of man, the Son of God, Who was and is that safety and surety of Divine Faith. Whose countenance spoke in Holiness, and voiced the purity, righteousness, faithfulness of Godly Love. His attitude is our excellent example which we ought to imitate and emulate; if our attitude is but as in an [our] inkling grain of faith, as of the size of a “mustard seed;” the infallibly of that minimum of faith is enough to become an unfailing blossom of hope, so shall that faith and that hope become the ripened fruit of the Spirit, which is Love: which is the revealed countenance of God. Let us by the anchor of our good and faithful countenance show ourselves accredited of hope, faith and love. Acceptable in Grace and Truth.

Sin is but a mimic. It is a mimicked dark-shadowing which appears crouching between the creation and the edge of the void of emptiness and nothingness. Actually seeming to have spanned the chasm by its unholy marriage to the “lie,” and by the help of her accursed kinfolk. Through her father’s dowry put in trust for her and along with her wedding gifts from the invited attendants and guests of the unholy wedding ceremony and reception, even by the donations of those attending the wicked wedding feast of sin and the lie, so has sin and the lie been showered in the love and riches of this world.

The adulteress beloved spouse of sin is the lie. She always appears very cunningly adorn, enticingly perfumed, seductively painted, ever the wickedly enchanting harlot. Those who heed, trust and believe her bitter sweet voice quickly fall into the crouching temptation and the inescapable snare of her, and that of her husband. In her essence they are possessed in the vice of concupiscence and sacrificed to the unremitting and unmerciful jealousy of her husband. Even if one should but turn to glance toward her as if to look back and get a better glimpse of her, as if to know more precisely of the dark and infamous seductive attraction of her bed, to vicariously seek a quick flash of wicked pleasure, or to acknowledge fool heartily and register the slightest consent with the sensuality and erotica of her dark den of nasty harlotry, where she lays writhing in her bed with sin, then that spirit or soul shall not escape the awful allure neither the fatal hold of the vices of emptiness and nothingness in which it sought interested. Consequently that one shall in its dissembled fornication and in its curiosity with adulteration becomes petrified, and so its countenance accursed and harden by the deceits of sin and the lie shall utterly sink like a heavy stone tossed upon dark waters. That one having stepped to test its weight of will and desire upon quicksand; that is, in its devastating temptation, it has tried to walk upon an unsupportive, an unreal, surface of emptiness and nothingness: only to have sank inescapably into an abomination and desolation all of its own making.  

By God’s will is, and was, His Supremacy of Holy Light known: shown and witnessed by the angels and by men. That He is the “Alpha and Omega” of Life, of Light, and of Love. That His Light of Holy Supremacy is absolutely and alone “Sovereign,” in Grace and in Truth. He was as such before the creation, during the creation, and after the creation: God is the unimaginable and unsearchable infinite eternity of “Unimpeachable” Supremacy and “Uncontaminated” Holy Light: He is. God is “One” Voice of Word and Unity of Spirit: the “Incomprehensible” Sovereign of Divinity: Pure Love, Immutable Truth, and In God is the beginning and end of Wisdom. Therefore and therein, God is “higher than highness,” blessed above blessings, and God is Grace for Grace forevermore. For God in Love, that is, in the immediacy of His Love, in the Divine course of His Loving, and in the pure and perfect affection of His Love so resulted the greatest effect of Love and of Loving ever shared and promised. Grace was and is the highest height of love attained and maintained. Grace is the awesome and wondrous “Divine Magnanimity” of the God of Love. This Love God shared with us is exceedingly above any and all other blessings which the Lord God presupposed to showered down upon us:

God proposed that in His Word and Spirit, in His Love for the Beloved, He would suffer. For Grace’s sake God suffered, and likewise in reciprocity did Grace suffer for His God’s sake. Unreservedly in Holiness, in the perfection of supremacy, God and the Word of God, God Sovereign and All-powerful in Holy Spirit, the “One” Divine Spirit of Life and of Truth bowed low in Love, in Holy Sacrifice. In their singularity of unity and purpose, peculiarly and particularly the Word and the Spirit of God’s Bosom went forth in Holiness; for our sake, for our eyes to see, and for heart to love and hold, thus did the Beloved of God, the very Son of God, in an act of Holy Faith, spiritual and also physical obedience, in an agreement, and in allegiance under the auspice of His God and Father deign to be a reality of life and light for our sake.

Will the Lord God allow His love and sacrifice to be the vanity and vexation of His Holy Spirit? God, the love of God and sacrifice of God cannot, is not, and was not vainly come, nor come only to be defeated. Neither in any way was God, did God, or had God of some necessity been first trepid and precautious, as if second-mindedly thoughtful, or thirdly in deed literally encumbered or hindered by sin. God unlike like things never moves in doubt, confounded and tempted by vanity, nor does God hear any remonstrance(s) of sin and lies, such as did sin whisper beautiful sweet nothings in the ear of the angel, and the angel likewise in kind spoke of lies filled with emptiness and death in the ears of men and women. God is invincible and He cannot be contested, overcome, out done, equaled, or matched even remotely, not in word, spirit, power, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, nor inkling of ability; neither in anything pertaining to Him for He is Holy. However, God does mind and notes our extraordinary attempts, degrees and manners of exacting Love’s essence. He wants and desire us to imitate love, for we are in the image of Him. God has made Love infallible that we might be save in it and by it.

Of course, we know and understand by the wisdom of God come to us via His Grace that the Word of God is not as a thing created such as we are. The Word of God is verily God. God of God. Holy Spirit of Holy Spirit. Now because God’s Word was sent forth to create hence the world is created, and it has been manifested by the power of the Word and the Spirit from things which did not exist, from things which still do not now exist. All was by Grace and Grace alone. Grace was and is the unbreakable promise made by the “Faithful One” of God, a promise kept in His Sovereignty of the Holy Spirit, which is even the self-same Spirit of Holiness of God the Father, and of which He shared even before anything that is made was made.

It is impossible for Grace to fail or to lie, in Word or Spirit; never is the Spirit of Grace corrupt. The Divine Promise which came by Grace is “Holy Surety” to those who do not shrink back from the Truth of it, and who are not resolutely and in deed decidedly defile in and by their countenance. But the children of Grace are those who in a child-like confidence of hope wait patiently upon the God of promise, and God’s Word of promise will be fulfilled. For this reason rejoice and do rejoice abundantly in heart as if already having received the fulfillment of the promise. They that do not say only dubiously that they “believe in” God, yet continually in disbelief and unfaithfulness grieve the Holy Spirit in backsliding and backbiting doubts and accusation: “Where is God?” “Let the Holy One Come down and show Himself.” They say “He saved others but could not save Himself.”

But the promise is only sure to those who “believed” God, and who by “works done in faith,” “for the just shall live by faith,” have shown themselves approved in Truth. Theirs work of belief is the holy inspiration of cause and effect by the voice of their God, and their faithful doing is surely undisputable evidence that they have truly “believed” God�"as of standing in His Presence, hearing the sound of His voice, and as touching the hem of His garment. Their courage and strength for good works of faith is founded in God Himself. Moreover have become the rare and precious things of God, the faithful and rightful heirs of the “Living Promise,” the “Life of Grace” in God.

There is no doubt that God’s Will justly appoint and apply to the faithless things their evidentiary trusted convictions, doubting and unfaithfulness. For in times past we ourselves received our just dessert of faithlessness and disobedience. Since the world has been turning the very many, although knowing God, still did not “believe” God. And shunned the Grace of life. In their opportunity there was never a heeding of His voice. Will love lie to its children? When they ask for bread did love give them a stone or when the desired drink did love give them a cup of gall. So then where is their love and respect for His Will and His Word, or who can find any hint of their work done in faith? No but they turned and put their belief and trust in sin, and the earnest effort of their arduous work was based in the sin and what the lie had promised them, and quite admirable to the angel and themselves so they did according to sin. Thus wholeheartedly “believed,” they heeded the voice and waited upon the promises of sin. The angel being their first father, the father of the “lie,” and the progenitor of all the generations of sin.

Sin has one first and foremost advocate: the angel who is said to have fathered the “lie,” in truth the angel was cast out of its holy estate, and became the despicable adopted offspring of sin, and sin is the true husband of the lie. But through the deceitful cunning of sin and in the vile harlotry of the lie, thus was the angel tricked into fornication and by it in the very innocence of the Garden. Thus along with the lie the angel has uncovered its nakedness and made ready its bed in this world. And ever since has it enticed, ensnared, and sought to lay with all the fool-hearty prisoners of earth; who love adultery and fornication, idolatry and harlotry with the lie. The one who loves the hourly wages of sin.

She is the unfaithful spouse now adverse to her first love, harden in her heart and affections, she is ignoring and inattentive to the Grace of Truth: she despises God’s love and faithfulness. She is dead of all feelings of love and trust and so she does not believe them or sanctify them in her heart; she has chosen to dishonor the vows of holy matrimony. So is has the Grace of Truth given her a bill of divorcement and put her away for her fornication. For Grace is the husband of her youth. The law was not her chosen counselor, and it thus it is not on her side, but it is her peer and her judge; now her justice and jury, her condemner and “would be” executioner. Therefore is she to be stoned and cast out from amongst her people. Already like the dead, to wander in dry places where there is no water for her mouth, her head, nor her feet; she has no lovers or friends, nor even a hope anymore in this life. Desolate, and where are her lovers, sin and the lie, even death will not heed her voice, as she cries for the mountains and the rocks to fall down upon her, to cover her that she may hide from the sight of the Holy One.
