Eternal, Immutable, Almighty, in purity of Holiness, of Divine Life and Spirit,
Who by Divine Word did speak Wisdom Divine " “I Am.” He is with us: Emmanuel is
our God: Grace has come from God; the true light has come; shining life, truth,
love and hope of salvation with all who would live, see, hear, heed, know,
feel, long, hunger, taste and be filled. In His coming, in that same instance, was
the reason and basis of our coming, also were we to be rendered and established
as entities, beings of truth and of life: divine proposal and created purpose, human
and mortal, spiritual and eternal. We were formed. We were fallible. Yet redeemable.
At the first wholly formed innocent but accountable"even imputable and liable
to truth as we came forth, and that because God who formed us is true, of Himself
He is Truth. According to God, the truth is that the blessedness of freewill itself
must reflect truth, willingly, or, however, as the Omniscience One has set according
to His infinite Wisdom, freewill must at the least faithfully above and over
doubt, search out and laid hold of the truth revealed by the God of Truth: for
that Truth is in accordance to the pure Love of God. Who does not want to be
loved? Will I not come at the call of love? To be loved? In the very
exact and exceedingly blessed moment that Truth came from Love to name us and
form us, so God gave us our justified beginning. From the first to the last, we
are all without excuse; having our will free and absolutely pure from acts or stains
of sin at the first, or now presently of our free will having them washed away in
the acceptance of Grace. We were then and still can be today of that very first
beauty, goodness, and holy intricacy ascribed to us by God: crystal clear and
clean, luminance bright and brilliant, fabric delicate and white, fantastic and
awe striking; thus shimmering and glimmering in the rays of Truth and Love from
“On High,” reflections of the light of the “Son,” glistening within each old, new,
or freshly fallen snowflakes. We thank God that He came again after a time, a
time of lost innocence, a time of guilt and shame, a time of self-imposed
separation, after a time of purgation. So again He came at the perfect time: at
the time of our rebellion and the time of our redemption; at the time of our
judgment and at the time of our justification, for our transgression in sin and
for our atonement from sin, respectively. In a human
sense how unfathomable is all these things of God, and the things He has done: Divinity
and the mighty works of His hand; rather more clearly is how seemingly impossible
is faith, even to humbly anchor faith in respect of hope. Nevertheless, when human
sense is coupled to acknowledgement and acceptance of Divinity, to receive Divine
Truth and Divine Surety; that is, when human sense is allowed to be guided by
belief and faith in God in Christ, the Holy Spirit, and Holy Faith, thus will we
receive that which is given without exception: the unmerited favor of Grace,
and through it by the pure light of Love and Truth our eyes, ears, heart, mind,
strength and soul now do see, hear, feel, know, and speak of how affectionate,
how awesome, how unsearchable, indeed how magnanimous must be that Divine
Wisdom and Love, Grace and Truth of God’s Word. (And if thy eye offend thee
pluck it out, if thy ear offend thee tear it off, if thy heart offend thee rip
it out, if thy mind offend thee cast it aside, if thy strength and soul should
fail thee let them depart from thee, for it is better to enter the kingdom of
heaven dismembered and emptied, rather than to be cast into the fire that is
never quenched.) Painstakingly or joyously, however suffered or celebrated, by
an inkling of faith we are kept whole, even rendered pure in love, innocent as
lambs, and as purely white as that first snowfall which fell upon the earth"that
was still, untrammeled, undisturbed, unspoiled, and stainless. How in the first
instance of our place and being, unconditional and uncompromising was the
Divine Word of Wisdom spoken and the Divine Love shared that it should reside
in that thing [us] of an ignoble substance. However,
that is, absolutely, notwithstanding deliberately, Grace has far exceeded and
accomplished so magnificently, marvelously, and gloriously God’s Promise. The
Word is in the very same instance our gift of life, truth and redemption: it was
and is the coming of the “Divine;” it was and is the coming of the Holy Spirit,
it was and is the incarnation of Godliness. The riches, wisdom, and power of
Holy Faith having prepaid, preplanned, and been timely manifested in a body of
spirit and flesh majestic and wealthy, the holy counselor and council, the “Son
of God” and “son of man,” hence all-powerful and all-merciful: Jesus. He is the
“Deliverer” of God’s Word of agreement and Spirit of settlement, He is the “Herald”
of unity with peace from God. Jesus is the answer to the man’s self-deception
and doubt with peace; to that man Jesus” response is silence in answer to his deliberately,
ambiguously and rhetorically proffered question: “What is truth?” Jesus is God’s
answer to the seekers of signs and wisdom: “Who is Jesus?” “Show us a sign? “Where
are you from?” “Who sent you?” “What is Truth?” It is the law-fulfilling, legal
and “above board” (that all might see) adoption into God’s Truth, verily the
Light and the Life come that there should be a beginning of created life and
created things. Therefore the “justified” claim (that all should know) of shared
bequeathed rights of inheritance by children in the will and testament of their
Father. Thus along with the “Begotten” Son, we too are impeachable joint heirs
included in God’s “spoken and living” Will, that is, His Word and Spirit of
Grace, to wit, salvation and eternal rest now and forevermore, amen. A divine
kinship even in mortality, a relationship of immortality with our Creator, this
is part and parcel of the exceedingly precious gift of truth and of the “promise;”
this shall we too have gained through the Holy propitiation and profit which to
us was and now is Divine Faith spent; Holy Faith tendered on our behalf, tender
not earned but it is a gift which we have willingly and humbly accepted; it is
willed, it is inheritance; it is imputed; it is His righteousness not our own,
but it is now covering, indwelling, regenerating, and thus assimilating us first
without and then within. “You cannot have the righteousness within until you
have accepted the righteousness without,” Horatius Bonar, in his book: How
Shall I go to God. In the light of the blessedness of Divine Faith, when our
human life of faith proffered be duly counted, it need only to be found
trusting, abiding, hoping, and resting in the Holy Revelation of the Gospel of
Peace. Therefore is our pitiable life of mortality and our inestimable fragment
of human faith in Him found to be of worth, of note, of place, and of surety
pleasing to God our Father; in Whom, by Whom, and for Whom have we been given
access to the blessedness of redemption, salvation, and rest, in accordance
with Holy, Heavenly, Supremely, Court appointed adoption as family members and the
heirs of Eternal Life and a Holy and Heavenly Kingdom. The Holy
Voice of the Word of Life, Wisdom, Love, Grace and Truth sounded; thus dinning,
its efficacious Holiness reverberates and resonates with the everlasting life
and power of God's Holy Spirit. Hence, the Grace and Truth of it has included
us in all the good and mighty works of God’s hands, generous and powerful hands,
by which God framed and made all things that now be in and of the heavens and
our world. Unto and into this very present day the vocalization of Holy Spirit
now does manifest the “Holy Calling” in the “spiritual man,” according to Grace
and Truth set beforehand. The Holy Voice invested that which amounts to eternal
equity within us, divine equity that was and is not only a necessity of dinned
propitiation for our life and being, but it is the indissoluble holy equity of
love which covers handsomely far more than just the cost of our sin(s). It is
the holy equity of Godly charity so unquantifiable, sufficient and efficient,
that it not only assures the total cost for our blessed life but it also
includes divine inheritance in the Father's Will. It is a Divine equity
ever-increasing according to the measure of holy sanctification needed. It has
gained in us the extraordinary profitability of Grace and Truth of unlimited
reserve. The Holy
voice spoken dinned Divine Investment “Capital,” “Holiness,” and it soundly and
securely beyond question gain for us unending life in the Spirit, the dividend
of eternal inheritance in all things dear and beloved of God. The state of Holy
Grace and Truth spoken for us, issued forth on our behalf, is an incorruptible
and divinely managed resource of holy funding. It is Divine “Spiritual Funding”
for the payment of cost for every cause necessitated by our poor soul’s
indebtedness to mortality and immorality; it is even to this present day aptly
affording the cost of our unavoidable human imperfections far above the margin
call of sin: Grace being retained; Grace even the Holy Retainer adjudicating
long ago in advance of our coming, self-incurred infractions, legally
negotiating our fines, fees, and due cost for iniquities committed. God like a
faithful bondsman anticipated our calling; thus was Grace and Truth arranged
before, prepaid holy bail for our release from the immediate confinement of this
human body of enslaved by sin. Grace and Truth was assignment of divine
representation and advocacy for us by God. The divine and free services of
Grace and Truth are appointed and afforded to all, and they appear before all
who believe, trust, and ask in hope: in other words to all who look to God, to
the Holy work of Faith, the Cross of Christ. And all that long likewise will
gain their spiritual freedom, release by God's spent magnanimity, eternally
payable dividend. To His little children this is inherited spiritual annuity,
inexhaustible revenue, and spiritual tender eternal from “On High” Exactingly
by His begotten Word and manifold Wisdom, God exposed and disposed graciously
to us His Son and Spirit. Literally presenting and delivering to us for our
enlightenment the exactness of bodily perfection by the Son, the Eternal Light
of Life, and He was the Son of Man, human, mortal; moreover Divine Spirit. Who
patterned us after His spiritual and physical life, light and love. The Father
through the Son has blessed His earthly children with divine, saving, and
soulful literacy, our blessing of precursory wisdom within, by which holy
revelation is inspired in us and written by us, God making holy literacy to
course within and be written without the heart and mind, in a holy book penned
by the hand of spiritually mindful children: progeny human, mortal, carnal,
born of the will of God, and even now born-again by the Gospel, meek, humble,
poor in spirit: First of
all things to be heard was the holy sound of Grace and Truth, the Herald of
God, His Begotten, calling forth children who were as yet unborn, yet
beforehand predesignated to be born conformable to holy redemption, salvation,
adoption, and that birth, actually a rebirth of life, is consistent with Holy
Faith: a faith begotten in heaven before the world began. Together these three
presupposed divine, regenerative blessings from and of Holy Faith delivered up
for us because of our lack, for in the human will of faith alone they are
impossible and unattainable. Therefore on our behalf God preordained these divine
physics and holy constructs of redemption, salvation, and holy adoption. For
God foreknew us, even loved us before He established our spiritual and mortal
life. Foreknowing that the limitation present in our first and beginning, in
our temporal and powerless body of flesh and mind carnality, would need be
changed, reworked and reanimated, by the Holy Spirit"that we should be truly
alive and living in hope with the assurance of Holy Faith, which cannot and
will not fail: for He is Grace and Truth to us as we sojourn in the body of
flesh, until we shall inherit spiritual life and immortality. The announcement
of Grace and the wisdom of Truth made ready our first and lasting attachment to
the Eternal Spirit of Life: Grace and Truth is the actuality of which our very
life and soul consist, divinely and absolutely substantiating and legitimizing
our created life. They are our gift of life from the Giver of Life; that is,
they are the gifts and blessings of and for mortal life; more importantly,
Grace and Truth are our developing soul's true substantiation and its only
Savior. Of all
things spoken before us, the beautiful voice of Grace and Truth did
harmoniously council peace within mercy and so joyfully sing a chorus for our
deliverance from the decadence of inevitable and natural decay. Fixed to
advocate between Holiness and unholiness and between immortality and mortality
is the delightful voice and the lyrical wisdom of Grace and Truth, which
strikingly of our human imperfection and so perfect by negation our mortal and
carnal disharmony. Removing these harmonic distortions and discretion of the
human life, will, and its noisy precipitations from the Divine and Holy musical
score: which is holy, awe-inspiring and spirited to save us from the vanity of
our voice. But it is our acceptance of Grace and Truth within our whole
being"mind, body, heart, soul, and strength"that dissolves and corrects the
vain mechanisms of the flesh which naturally work against our humanity, the
mechanics of carnality within the mind and heart perverts our freewill which is
subjected to, now touched by, and corrupted of sin, which cannot but war
against the spirit. Supernaturally
and naturally there is in every human life the Grace and Truth of the Holy
Spirit. The Love of God in us burns as an unquenchable flame of the Holy Ghost.
The Father Himself lights the fire which brings to boil that deep, living water
within us. The Eternal Spirit keeps steeping the holy water of baptism,
scolding vapors of holy steam rising in evidence of our changing nature, the
visible proof that our mortal life and eternal soul is being transformed,
renewed. Thus is the carnal nature, our inevitable defect, distilled from
within us and the evil condensation of sin is separated apart from us; it is
being purged from us continuously: we are being holily distilled and purely
sterilized by and by. It is our vain human will, inordinate desires and
passions, which are subtracted. God by a
holy and unbreakable covenant, literally by the direct testimony of His Holy Word,
powerfully by His indomitable Spirit, and eternally by His Will and within His
Will God adopted children: beloved children of a new creation; children that
are made of flesh and blood and spirit. Also, at that time, providentially
through covenant with the holy, angelic, ministering spirit(s) of His Word and
Will, God assigned to each angel sanctified position and commandment; ordering
them to the [His] heavenly and earthly administration of divine love, truth,
influence, movement, and protection for the children of His earthly abode,
faithfully abiding children: chosen inheritors of His Word and Spirit. So too
did God preordained earthly counselors and mentors"glorified prophets,
magnified apostles, exemplified disciples, and sanctified saints"upon earth,
and by them God held us by human covenant, by men and women, to that Grace and
Truth we need and have spiritual want to feel, to perceive, to hear, and to
understand what is the holy unction and power from God. Thus spiritually
comprehending in the inner man, in our Christ-likeness, what the Wisdom of the
Divine Voice of Love admonishes. Consequently
and presently, we as God's children now abiding upon the earth are found to be
in company with all the redeemed who came before, and along with the heavenly
host we are altogether illuminated in the Holy Light of God's Divine Ambiance,
above and beyond astonishment and wonderment, mesmerized of our heavenly home
and overjoyed in our holy formation and blessed creation. To the holy children,
those born of God's Word and Will, how loud is the silence, how firm is the
intangible, how fulfilling the hope, the faith, and the love now assuring by
holy promise the undeniable and unquenchable Spirit of Life"God: Omnipotent,
Omniscient, and Omnipresent Today the
Grace of God, our Beloved, by Whom we are loved and were called, composed and
patiently suffered and endured, Who still patiently in these very presence
moments of our scientific, irreligious, implacable, advance and ever-advancing
generations of society though they be as defamed in that they are always
drawing farther and farther away from God, and not near to Him. Yet, still,
powerfully and tenderly, does the “Holy One of Israel” preserve His just hold
on the human life of imputed righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ.
Hence does the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the God of Life and of the
living, not the dead, firmly and invincibly hold fast upon that which is His
sovereign possession and paternal concern. What is this but our soul's holy
surety of holy foundation, and holy truth; even our everlasting holy salvation
above and beyond any merit or any accomplishment of human will. We as
concerning our injustices committed - justified by Grace alone. That Grace is
in and by Jesus, the “Begotten” Son, the Christ of God, Who is our Savior. Our hope,
faith, and love of the Word of God alone saves us out of the midst of this
screaming and torrid, deaf and intemperate, evil generations of the societies
of people: a people insatiable in their vanity for the world and the things in
the world, covetous for the love that the world would love them with, a people
wickedly wanton for the glamor of pride the world loves; a people locked and
bound in the deepest darkness of a created world. They are a generation of
people who are no longer concerned about the things of the spirit. Who denying
their very soul's existence and who are are truly dead already. Therefore they
no longer chose to know nor care to know their Creator. Day by day upon the
earth we separate in heart and mind and soul further and further from our
beginning form of innocence. Let those of hope look to the “promise” of God,
and those of faith to the love of their Redeemer. So do we reverence the Word
of God. The Grace
that was before our beginning was not and it is not commandment, but it was and
still is the “Holiest” Gift: it is God"Himself, the Word, the Spirit, and the
Light of Life. Unlike the holy and righteous commandment necessitated in our
life and hearing, Grace beforehand sounded the dictates of Truth, our truth.
Grace was not and is not a task resistant to our nature, neither is it in
opposition of creation. Grace: it is the necessarily the divine perfection of
and the holy completion of the developing human soul's character that divine virtue
freely given to all, and it was necessitated for our weak human nature. Grace
fulfilled our lack and ignorance in the knowledge of the Holy; it sets as
priceless the love of God toward us, and holds in trust our sincerest human
wanting of God. Truly it is Grace which truly empowers our deliberate and
diligent seeking want of God; it alone saves the repentant sinner. “Not of our
righteousness God, but of thy mercy.” Thus it is Grace that sets as naught the
depravity inherent in us " decay; that is, the sin which in truth overpowers
and overtakes our created being and subjects our insufficient human will. We
who were manifested by the Word from an empty void which, to wit, dutifully,
legally and rightly, contracts us to an inability of the lone human will that
we cannot accomplish that self-same perfect fidelity of Holy faith which we
seen and know of Jesus. Who is and Him Whom be the the uncreated Word and
Divine Son, the only “Begotten” from Holiness. How simple, how intent and how
indeed, has God in His Wisdom of Grace and Truth prepared beforehand redemption
and salvation through His Word"Christ Jesus"the Word of Life. Furthermore,
of Divine intent, our Grace is the accompaniment that spiritually and too
physically complemented and therefore completed our legalization and our
transformation from nothing into a state of being found in the Divine Truth of
God. Even though the inescapable truth is that we are as worthless sinners.
Notwithstanding in the light of that inexplicable truth have we come. And, so
it is that Grace covered the price for our impending debt of sin, lawlessness,
the manifestation of imperfections by formed and create life. However, sin does
only seemingly reign on earth, and that by powerful signs manifested through
the fear of death that reigns in us; that is, the fear of the death of our
created life. Yet shall our redeemed and saved souls live forever. It is the
appearance of death upon our physical body, the body of flesh, a body which
death powerfully opposes by an allowed truth in and over nature: the natural
physical decay of a created thing. But the saved understand by Grace that the
spirit which has quickened our soul does so unto our eternal life. The Word and
Spirit of God, invincibly life-giving within our body of clay, is the truth of
our being residing in God's Grace " which bore us. The Spirit and Word of Grace
was filled with all of God's Wisdom, the Blessings of the Holy Faithful One,
God's immutable Word: the Divine Life and Faith of Jesus. But what is this of
Grace and Truth which declares that our created nature and therefore our lone
human will is imperfect? Is it not God's conviction"that is the Truth in and of
the Word that claims and that speaks of the word of faith. We have a need of
faith, faith in God, in His Word and in His Spirit. That Holy Faith which saves
those who from their very first beginning were then innocent of the whole of
the “knowledge of good and evil.” Although having strayed, we gained through
the vileness of the “lie” and the “liar” that sin which possessed the angel.
That very first beginning revelation of sin, the power of sin yet crouching,
perching, and which then taking possession of the angel so manifested outward
into all the world the sting of death. That death which seemingly indeed would
and did claim, consume and condemn the eternal soul of humanity which was
powerless and unable apart from God's Grace and Truth to resist and vanquish
sin entirely. And we see and know that the angel who more wiser than us was
weakened and powerless as sin did reign in that angel's bowels. Presupposed and
providential Grace and Truth is to us from a loving God and Father, and these
are absolute assurance of Divine commitment to our holy blessing of redemption,
perfection and love through faith in the Word of Life, Christ Jesus. So it is
that Grace and Truth always was and, verily, still is our very invitation and
accommodation into Perfection; henceforth Grace and Truth, the Divine Word and
Love of God in Christ to us-ward, secures those who would be sanctified and
glorified in life by Holy Faith. It was Divine Word and Wisdom that initiated,
substantiated and filled the created world with life, light, and purpose "
hope, faith, and love " our desire to worship, honor, and serve God in truth
and in spirit. Our truest being and body of life is spirit. As a matter of
fact, the why's and how's, the means and the ends, of all life is just this:
that it be born of and born up by the Grace of the Holy Spirit. God is the
Preeminence of Life: the One and Only God Who is: is God Whom always was and
ever will be. God is being that One and Only Eternal Life of Spirit having
neither beginning or end; hence before or beside God there was never none other
to be reckoned, none other who might speak of the measure or likeness of God:
the living form of the Almighty. There was none ever, and none ever will there
be, who might justly and rightly contrast and compare for us the life, the
love, and the truth of God; as it says in Job, “Will you speak unjustly for God
….” God is the One and Only Holiness of Life in Whom the perfection of Power,
Love, Truth, Word and and Wisdom rest perfectly in unity. The Holy
Spirit of Life is the One and Only Life that shines gloriously and beautifully
the radiance of all that is pure and lovely, good and right, in our created
world. God having manifested, formed and created other life in the Light of the
Spirit of Holiness consequentially"for Holy Light never be darkened, dimmed, or
shadowed"God has of certainty shined upon us too the life-saving illumination
of the “Light of Truth:” that is the Truth found in the brightness of Grace
that moves us out of darkness and condemnation, thus into brilliance of holy
redemption and salvation: the marvelous Light of the Son of God. God, the
Eternal Life and Truth of Love, of Whom came Grace, that Life and Truth of the
Son, by Whom and of Whom came the holy payment of our propitiation which we
could not afford but so despairingly and desperately would need, and that in
accordance with Holy Truth. God's Love, God's Son, God's Spirit is true, so how
then is it that we were in such despair? We could not cling to Him. The Spirit
of God endows our formed and created lives, yet we have an innate inability to
hold perfectly to its revealed Truth, Truth which is in the power and likeness of
God. Why is so much of Truth remiss and missing in us and our daily life? Truth
has always, and does so perfectly, reign on earth as God's Holy “Sovereign” and
Divine “Defender” of Holiness: Truth cannot be overruled or defeated. Therefore
it grants to all free access to its courts. For Truth is the unbreakable rule
offered and available, residing within our very being; it is that precious
undeniable portion of God's Holy Spirit. Moreover
created life is truly unable to deny its own embodiment of truth; we are able
to sense its good and right fitness in the Holy Spirit, or sense its evil and
wrong unfitness which is not of the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit has
shared itself with formed and created life"that life is liable to Truth. For
the most part God has imputed us with a freewill, but not with an absolutely
sovereign, autonomous, and self-sustaining will, for then we would be as God,
and as we see and know nothing is further than the truth than is our ungodly
and filthy human desires of will; they are as an internal poison within us, for
we are lowly and unholy creatures. Holy Light composes the life of the angelic
spirit and the life of the human soul, also the Spirit did formulate, design,
and manifest the flesh and blood of humanity, of animals, and the substance of
all biological life, yet all being as a created thing, we are not of the
perfection of uncreated God, our One and Only True God " Jehovah, amen. It is
Jehovah's Divine Wisdom and Spirit Power that formed and created all things
including all that is living, so that truth, light, and spirit life indwells
within the thing, within the substance of the thing that is become truth and
life. The spirit is as a spark within everything and it is inextinguishable; it
is as a live-coal glowing, lingering, and waiting. Within us it awaits the
fanning of our belief and trust in the Holy One of Israel. By belief and trust
it is fanned into the spiritual fire that purges away ignorance, sin and
iniquity. The Holy Spirit is an all-consuming, living fire, and the holy heap
that remain of that fire is tried and true, as gold tried and purified by fire.
From the aftermath of that holy fire surely and humbly shall we trust and
believe, for in ashes sifted by the device of divine providence only wisdom and
truth remains. The Holy Spirit by the fire of wisdom and truth quickens and
animates our life of faith and our human will with and fro right and good
purpose. Listen,
the Holy Spirit made from nothing that beginning substance. God formed from
spirit and made from clay living things: forms and creatures of life granting
them life within themselves. In the case of the angels God formed them purely
of spirit, wholly spirit beings. And, in the case of humanity, the highest form
of biological life, we are by God wholly new and original. We are made from and
of created substance; we are manifested after the form of the earth which God
made from nothing. Coming forth from that which beforehand had no existence; in
other words, humanity along with the created universe are the phenomena, unique
by-products from “nothingness.” All
spiritual life that of angels and of humans has within it the God-given gift of
life and freedom. These highest God-given attributes"as is hope, faith, love,
and truth"are within its own spirit, within its will and power. Freedom of will
and power in life, to live life as I chose, is the highest available allotment
given me that I might learn to love God with my whole heart and mind. And as
they are freely given me by God they amount to the highest form of trust. For
this form of “trusting” has its basis in God Almighty's standard and measure.
For that which was not formed by themselves and that which was not created of
themselves can gain nothing, less it be given something to even begin"in our case
we and the angels were given by God the substance of life and freedom, and that
in the form of a trust, and that trust in order to be of value must be founded
in God, trusting to God. Two life
substances are distinctly, though limited, granted a freed will for trusting or
not trusting to truth. the reality and purpose to be realized; although, their
truth, reality and purpose will be perverted if they so chooses to go outside
God's Will. Yet they cannot usurp nor escape God's Truth. Moreover the Spirit
of Life, Truth and Reality makes all life formed or created a kernel timely
adopted within eternal life and truth. At that precise time in my human-being
and therefore my soul I am enabled to become a child growing, hoping,
believing, loving and being loved, living and purposeful, a tenet of life meet
for the Master's use. Having a likeness unto God Himself and the holy angels in
heaven; or a contrarily an opposing image as of the unholy angels, worldly and
rebellious humanity, the lost souls on earth. Faithful and true to Him and to
myself, then and only then am I moved by love and humility, a humbled servant
in and of the Light from the Life of Spirit. Providentially set within His Holy
knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and power. The Director Who calls me, guides
and directs me; He is my life and He is the cause for my being and my doing.
Hence I am living proof in a body of flesh walking to and fro in earth: “I
have: '… heard and kept, known and loved, believed and obeyed ...,' the Holy
Spirit of Truth that I may rest in the Grace of God.” (quote from The Imitation
of Christ by Thomas a Kempis) The
power of God, the works of God, and the embodiment of Holy knowledge and
understanding and wisdom"Grace and Truth"reckoned toward us and God’s creation of
which I write may be summed up in this statement: “The cost paid, the wisdom
displayed, and the power exerted by God in His Holy Being, in His Holy Spoken
Word, and in His Holy Spirit was and still is for the purpose of creating and
bringing into existence substance outside of His very own bodily immediacy"His
Divine, Holy, Perfect, and Eternal ‘Contiguous’ Being. God according to His
lone sovereign council, His own desire of will, and His own power to act; in
other words, our Creator, the Lord God Almighty, according to His Divine, Holy,
and All-Powerful ‘Three-fold’ Nature " that is Being, Word, and Spirit
established, created and formed the earth, the heavens, and all that be in
them:” The
heavens above and the creation below exist as they are by God’s will. They are as the “Tree of Life” in the middle
of God’s Garden that receives the morning’s dew and the night’s rest, and that
“Tree” brings forth an abundance of fruit within each day of the Son’s
Righteousness. Everything
that is created and formed God made by Word and Spirit for His own purpose and
for His own reason, to use as He will and as He want. This was God's
fore-thought, His Conciliatory intent, and that Hoy thought and intention He indeed
has above and below manifested in Absolute Truth by His Majestic Word and
Powerful Spirit. Since all that He made still remains, creation still standing
as fact, then God must still have a holy desire, a continued and coming purpose,
for the things He has created by His Word and Spirit; else, where would all
these things be? I
am very mindful before, below and not above, presumptuous - my lone, finite,
human reasoning - concerning the many untold, unrevealed, and unfathomable
mysteries of Truth; I do not precede my ignorance; as to claim knowledge of all
the innumerable and unimaginable hidden facets by which God in His Word, Wisdom
and Spirit has in Truth and indeed paid cost, displayed wisdom, and exerted
power, for God only knows. My Lord alone absolutely knew of and knows of all
the Father’s invested, prepositional, and, too, God’s continual exertion of
Grace and Truth toward the formation, creation, and substantiation of all that
is outside of His “contiguous” Being. Of this though I am fully convinced and
do believe that His Spirit has touched me and so moved me to testify concerning
the magnanimity of God's Sovereignty and Benevolence. Yet I am least of all
worthy or able to speak of God; may I in Grace be spared of any ignorance and
presumption, faithlessness and pride, in my hope and love for the Lord God.
Amen. I
know that it is in and of God’s Mercy and Grace that I feign “Confident
Conjecture” of His Love and Truth and Judgment benevolently bestowed upon us,
children of His Will and Word. Amen. By
Grace, in Grace, and for Grace, through prayer, in prayer, and for answer to
prayer, so I believe the Holy Scriptures have taught me in the “right way.” May
I be blessed, “God be blessed,” in their discipline of holy revelation and
wisdom from “on High.” How I shall be seen ungrateful and remiss if I do not thank
God for all his children, those who came before and who have been embolden by
the same Spirit to write of Him, giving their own witness and testimony of the
Love and Power of God Almighty; upon whose love, faith, hope, and discipline
from on high, so is my own is indebted. Surely toward them so has that Grace by
the Word of God fallen eternally, wonderfully, and, thus, likewise convincingly
upon me. which
others before me have written of and handed-down,. No man ought to rely solely
on himself about his own concerns in holy spiritual matters, how much less in
his talk of God. We do not even completely know for ourselves that which
dictates the concerns of our physical and carnal liabilities " sin. It is
plainly seen that rarely are we not most of the time nothing but great big
balls of chaos and confusion within our deepest self, fully vain helps in our
deepest need, which is to know, love and depend trustingly and faithfully upon
God's righteous and holy judgment. Are we not
but weakened human vessels? And yet we are created and formed to be ministers
and messengers used of some sort, as are the formed angelic spirits, by God for
His revelations to the prisoners of the earth. Divinely to us, this is a
precious gift and calling by the Holy One to each; it is the means and the
meaning of life to each. Our life, our life of spirit and our life in this
created physicality of the body of flesh, is to be as an individual facility
productive in faith and henceforth producing, reciprocating, holy works. Being
servants of the Most High, each to be a minister of holy faith. We are to be
the peculiarity that is the “salt of the earth.” Who are wholeheartedly the flavor
of holy salt; those who are the holy seasoning of salt sprinkled upon fish and
who are the seasoned taste of the unleavened bread, both of which the Lord
shared plentifully to the multitude. But not only are we to be the holy
seasoning upon the meal served by the Lord at supper; also we are holy candles
not hiding holy light under a basket, as to keep it for our self alone, but we
are to shine brightly as of a “light on a hill,” the light of God in the world,
the Holy Spirit and Word. For it is that we are individual candlesticks lit by
God, spiritual candles which shines of holy light, so that others who are in
darkness can find “the way” to the Lord's table. Imagine
our human lives in this world minus Holy Scriptures, if we were deprived of
knowledge and understanding, not ever having known the characteristics of holy
salt upon the will and life of humanity, neither the taste of holy salt upon
the palate of our human lives. Suppose our human lives in this world without
Divine Revelation, if we were absence of grace and truth, not ever having known
the perspectives of the Light of Life upon the will and life of humanity,
neither the consolation of promise for our human soul. What kind of place would
this be? I can hardly feign to imagine. I do not want to imagine how terrible
this world would be removed of Divine Wisdom and Holy Order; it is this very
moment far gone in apostasy even having the Bible. How hellish this earth would
be without the Light of the Bible, devoid of the Holy Word of Revelation and
Prophecy from God Most High. The Holy Scriptures Light teaches us that it is
Divine, Holy God alone that is able and that does turns our evil to good. It is
God's long-suffering patience and mercy that leads the sinner to Christ the
Lord, the “Begotten” Son, the Word of redemption and salvation. Why have
we not, yet others have, perished in disbelief and sin? Choosing vanity and not
hope, doubt instead of faith, fear rather than love, preferring death over
life. We too knew not the Holy Scriptures, neither did we perceive or feel the
Holy Spirit of our Loving God and Father: To us is born, to us is given, a son,
and the government, the elect, shall be upon His shoulders, for no one comes
unto the son less the Father draw them. Although
the Holy Bible we read and study is in its scope, prophecy and revelations,
limited to its volume of pages, the truth is that a world of books could have
been written and still not scratch the surface of the things of God, nor do
justice to the “whole” truth and purpose of God. Providentially however the
Holy Scriptures literally are our utmost vital, physically sensed and handled,
means to know of God. How true it is that our reading and studying of the Holy
Scriptures must be accompanied by our deepest and earnest prayers of mind,
heart, and spirit that all its blessings, its wisdom, and its power be open
unto us " “Thy will Lord be done, not my will be done.” The Bible as we know it
today, despite all the human prejudice and controversy surrounding its Holy
authenticity, authority and authorship, shall, can, does, and will as long as
the earth remains continue to inspire, enlighten and save the life of
believers; those who in love, charity and service have trusted to “Holy Faith”
found through the Grace of God in Jesus. The fact is that the prognosis of the
human race requires the Holy Scriptures. For they are Divine ingredients in a
Holy prescription, rare and exceedingly precious, unaffordable by any;
moreover, they are singularly the remedy of infinite worth that a man ought
sale all he has here on earth that he might gain for his soul healing for the
battle wounds received of sin in its spiritual warfare fought upon the earth.
Holy Scripture is heavenly medicine inspired, not formed or made up by human
will or wisdom. But it is a Holy potion of spiritual light; it is the
prescription of healing light from the Spirit that is divinely and physically
granted, that is concrete and tangible, that is specifically for the human
race, and that is to be accepted, taken and used as prescribed. For the Holy
Scriptures were dictated by God to holy men who then quoted Him word for word,
and who duly, faithfully scribed and orderly documented the Sacred Book of the
Spirit, the Word and Will of God. Thus when faithfully received and applied the
Holy healing balm of spiritual light soothes and heals the sin sickened and
battle weary soul. Holy
Scriptures' efficacy is only minimized by the lack of human trust, reliance,
application, and proper use. When using Holy medication of Holy spiritual ingredients,
one must first be spiritually clean, highly trained and disciplined, learned
and instructed, confident and sure therefore able to heed the Holy Spirit's
instructions. First of all, faithfully attentive, spiritually indoctrinated and
disciplined interns sensitive and respectful of Divine contents. Hence found
trustworthy, able and apt to treat not only themselves but others who are in
dire need of spiritual healing. We must adhere to the Holy Scriptures correctly
and appropriately in the measure and manner prescribed then shall we receive
effectual treatment: First we must
thoroughly cleanse ourselves of sin, and the foolish but self-inflicted lesions
of personal sin through confession, amends, and baptism careful and diligent to
keep our bandaging (faith and belief) sterile. Then of its perfection our
heavenly balm will faithfully and timely heal and improve our embattled,
developing soul's health and wellness. We must dearly preserve and store the
balm's essence " its holiness, sealing up its potency and purity in its proper
and appropriate container, the humbled
and contrite heart that it be safe and sound from contamination " ready to be
applied in a moments notice. Additionally, progressively even obsessively, we
must deliberately take measures to form a holy addiction to our heavenly balm,
preferring an offensive and defensive compulsion for prayer; the highest power
of prayer is that it binds us to the holy realization of spiritual power and
our love for it becomes an insatiable and relentless “all for all” blessed
attitude and behavior, and unquenchable
desire for communion with our God: the One and Only God of the Holy Scriptures. Poor in
spirit, meek, and failing in our weak and beggarly faith we come to Him the
“Divine Doctor.” In the waiting room " the temple of our body " as faithful
patrons and patients we check-in and are still, until the Holy Comforter notes
that we have arrived at our appointment ready to receive comfort and healing,
regeneration. Our Holy “cure-all” is powerful to raise the dead: it is Grace,
Truth, the old and new “Gospel” of Holy Scriptures, the sound and spirit of
God's voice, and the eternal treatment which convalesces our soul in peace and
rest. The holy
angels, registered saints, martyrs, virgins, anchorites, all the devout lovers
of holy righteousness, alas, but of holy sanctity and intimacy in heaven and
directly in God's hearing and presence are the prayers and petitions of our
sanctified and purified loved-ones, close friends, and well-loved patron associates
of “living” hope and faith, the whole of an innumerable multitude of the
heavenly host are at our beckoning call. Namely, literally and presently Jesus
is at our right-hand having secured and rescued us by His Grace. Above all
else, God's own Son is divinely and powerfully, faithfully and tenderly,
unshakably and immovably in attendance and service to our soul's welfare here
and now. Jesus of certainty, henceforth in eternity, safeguards our soul's hope
and its place in the life hereafter. Our holy perseverance in faith and good
works unto the end of this mortal life shall not lose its election, henceforth
its eternal reward vouchsafe exceedingly in Almighty God. Holy
Scripture is Holy Light from a Holy Candle that is providentially shining
brightly so that its illumination is shining more than enough spiritual light
sufficient for the one room in which it literally sits " this world in which we
live and breathe. The room is an enormous room for sure to us who are but
minute finite human-beings. However this large room where we along with the
Bible sit is but one room within a beautiful mansion of infinite rooms " the
whole of which belongs to God. Some of it, the tiniest part of it, is created,
but most of it is uncreated the form of spiritual essence. Truly, we are in
need of the Scriptures single bright light of life, and we must have this first
beginning divinely providential and necessary light that divides and helps us
to divide the true from the false. However we ourselves must choose to pick up
the book of Scriptures, by the unction of Grace, open it and read it. I must
carry its luminous body of life, light, and wisdom with me; possessing its hope
and love in faith, in heart and soul, so that nothing and no one can by lie, or
by hook or crook take it, steal it, or deceive me of it. Consequential
of our unwavering holy hope, faith and love, that is, in accordance with our
spiritual steadfastness, our trust and obedience set in God, so invariably and
inevitably profitable are the Godly inspired words we read and ponder of the
word of life within the Holy Bible. The words and admonitions of the Holy Bible
undoubtedly become the Holy Spirit's Light of Wisdom and Grace want to be
provoked of the holy truth lying within me; therefore sparked into a flame fiercely
burning within me, and thus shining and reflecting new light into the dark
world surrounding me. There can be no doubt that divine, spiritual help is
readily available whenever and wherever I am in need or found in this created
room. The creation, a place now given over to and filled with the dark
dominions, with the darker principalities, and with the darkest powers of the
spirits of the air, the unholy angels and their minions of carnal souls who
altogether fill this present world with the trappings of sin that leads to
death " the eternal death and condemnation to hell of my very soul.
Nevertheless, by the healing Light of Holy Scripture, our regenerated human
eyes, our renewed spiritual perception, our reformed heart's perspective, and
our reborn soul's wellness is clarified, well versed and disciplined in the
holy word and spiritual light of love, power and knowledge from the Bible.
Never lacking, our mind's eye and our heart's strength must be regularly
exercised in reading and studying the Bible. Our spirit must be moment by
moment, day by day, drilled in prayer, meditation and contemplation upon God's
Word. Unrelentingly, our carnal mind and body must be subordinated, disciplined
and subjugated in humility by fasting, so that our whole body of fleshy lusts
and passions through mortification is freed from its contraction to the world
of darkness. In essence, in truth, after we are thus trained and disciplined
then can we with confidence know, touch and feel, in the deepness of our soul
the Holy Spirit. The “Paraclete” leads us and lights our way with the powerful,
penetrating, all-consuming light which not only illuminates but eliminates dark
light. The Light of the Holy Ghost pierces through the heavy spiritual
cataracts that have formed atop of our carnal eyes; malignant cataracts which
with each new generation of humanity causes greater and greater spiritual
blindness. But Holy Light from the Holy Scriptures removes from our eyes all
the compounded generations of thick malignancy that has formed over our eyes.
The Holiness of Spirit Light, when we sincerely desire it, is invincible being
perfect to not only reaches our soul's heart and mind, but it is also the light
unto our human path on earth; Holy Light is the lamp which enables us to look
and search the deepest crevices of truth, accountable and thus imputable upon
our “developing” soul. Holy Scripture is the “Spiritual Flame of Holy fire and
light” that burns in and emanates out of holy lanterns " the faithful sons and
daughters of Most High God. The Word of Holy Scripture is the Word of the
Spirit spoken to the faithful; words written by the holy inspired and divinely
guided hands of the faithful; it is written in eternal ink, that is, eternal
light: truly words of light written of the Will and Wisdom of God. They are
meant for our human mind's eyes and our human heart's illumination, Holy
benefice of Light " salvation " for our developing soul: Conscientiously,
spiritually, deeply, thus enabled to realize within ourselves that it is only
by the Light of the Spirit that our spiritual blindness can be vanquished;
wholeheartedly, we are thankful that our eyes now see by the pure, clear light
of right perspective. Henceforth our eyesight is given sufficiency by Holy
Light. As a result, we are able to see and find “the way,” the road Jesus
traveled, despite the horrible darkness that engulfs the whole world. Therefore
our eyes being efficient we are not likely to trip on that which is in its
right and true place within the deepest darkness of the principalities,
dominions, and powers of this world. For this world is confounded and
imprisoned in the light of darkness which is sin. Furthermore if we are remiss
to see or if in the shifting darkness we are not able to get our bearing
because of sin's tricks of dark delusion, these neither will hinder us for very
long nor set us back again. Contrarily not will we put on a cloak of pride,
wear a coat of fear, or don a brim of self-righteousness to shadow our inborn
light that we should stumble over ourselves in conceit, ignorance, or
complacency. In truth, it is said that only the man and the spirit of a man
knows the whole truth of the man. This is first of all, the Truth of God and
His Spirit: for only the Spirit of God knows the manifold Wisdom, the Word and
Will of God. Our spirit must first of all be enlightened by the Holy Ghost the
gift of Grace, if we are to know the truth upon which we stand. God's
ultimate gift [Himself] to us: is that we know Him Whom God has sent and it is
by coming to know Him Whom God has sent that we unwrap our gift, finding
likewise that Him Whom God has sent has Himself given us the gift of Himself,
so that we too are made gifts by His call of Grace that we also do service in
and for His Name's sake;
thereby we too are gifts of the Father through Jesus, one to another. Be not conformed to this world: but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind (ROM. 12:2). Know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a
friend of the world is the enemy of God (James 4.4) What fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord
hath Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believe with an infidel? And
what agreement has the temple of God with idols (2 cor. 6:14-16)? Love not the world, neither the things that
are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
him. The world passes away, and the lust thereof, but he that does the will of
God abides forever (1John 2:25). Will I therefore subversively, to my own demise,
make my own precocious, pride-filled mind and my own fragile and feeble body to
be God, or of more account than God? Even making the idolatry of a
self-centered, self-deceived, and iniquitous carnal mind and heart my highest
power? Have I made the things of this world that I love too much to be idols?
To these do I bow down the knee and serve as a slave? To begin with, we ought
to know that an idol is nothing but a dead thing which cannot walk or talk;
accordingly, it must be carried about, given idealizations and principles; then
we ourselves must speak for them? These humanistic ideal principles and
pseudo-axiomatic human ideas are being the crooked and perverted thoughts and
truths which work to please our carnal mind, heart, and body. They are spawned
by the power of death " sin that has long twisted and warped our faith, belief
and obedience to God, and that sin which by continued reliance upon and trust
in unerringly delivers us to death. Nonetheless, our ill-conceived faith firmly
established in the vanity of sin has lead us to worship vain human philosophies
and our own wicked, sinful imaginations. The power of an idol is nothing more
than personal, self-contrived, and wickedly thought-out human rationalizations;
these rationalizations, self bestowed principles, laid upon an idol only prove
our reprobate knowledge and will of God's eternal and righteous will that we
know and disapprove. For God has made His Will known to us. Our lone human rationalizations
are exactly our own set of principles twisted by pride, lust, anger,
gluttonous, greedy, envy, sloth, and a fear-based value-system. These sharpened
evil principles are the stinging organs filled with the powerful poison of
death " sin. Ignorantly and foolishly, mindful of the degradation, pain and
suffering that sin has wrought through-out human history, that it has disposed
upon others, even ourselves, still adamantly and wholeheartedly we invest our
life and will in death's ideologies. So it is by our deliberate choice of sin,
our freedom of will to choose evil rather than good, that we have entreated and
served death. Truly, it is said that covetousness and idolatry,
“will worship,” is actually our state of self-worship; thus serving ourselves
the despicable delights and offerings of the power of death which is sin. So it
is that we have willfully chosen death as our god, our father and master. How
high and lifted up are we by sin; and it is no wonder, for our selfish,
self-centered, self-fulfilling, and self-gratifying exploits are indeed gifts
and offerings commending our self-approval to the throne. We qualify ourselves
and we are self-justified in our lust and sensual passions in the flesh, which
burn with an all-consuming and unquenchable fire of pride and fear. We can
never get enough to be satisfy in our human lusts and passions. How can we? For
the world is our beloved; this world that we are born into and that we are
steeped in revels in the love, the pomp, the extravagance, and the glory it
gains from sin. Death is pleased by our self-glorification in sin. How mightily
in our self-exaltation is death served that altogether we say, “Who is God,
where is God, and of what need have we of God?” “Death is here, and we will to
love and serve it.” Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do
evil (exodus 23:2). How
contemptuously do we put ourselves, our graven images, and our idols before
true God and Christ? Things made by our own hands clothing, jewelery,
computers, cars, mansions, temples; even nuclear bombs, weapons of genocide,
devices of earth shattering and destructive consequences set against humanity
itself. Thus, rightly in line with the unmistakable and undeniable fact that in
truth, we are set against our own selves. We join in with the thought of a herd
of wild beast, going along in our head and heart with the crowd, to make and
establish evil devices and evil people as idols. Persons ordain to death by
their own very nature; people whom we imitate and long to be like, even more so
than our Creator Who gave us the gift of Himself and our created life. We do
more to praise, to worship, and to serve a lie than we do God. “Kissing up” to
and agreeing with men and women who are found to be of the most insensitive and
inconsiderate nature toward their fellows; for example: the rich who oppress,
the famous who turn up there nose and defile the holy name God has given to all
humanity. We worship and fond upon the actors and actresses, musicians and
sports stars, even the Bankers, Corporate CEO's, and Politicians that fight
powerfully for the things they want and lust after, while ignoring the needs of
the homeless, the poor, the widows, the fatherless. Foolishly, we support and
even finance these people with our will and our hard earned money. Moreover, at
the voting polls we secretly, even conceitedly, cast our ballad our for their
style of governance and living. We cannot see that their philosophies and mind
set for notoriety, security, and material gains, their beliefs and their high
offices are truly supportive of the unholy “spirit of the air.” Him of whom, by
whom, and to whom all, even the unholy angels themselves have become flunkies,
servants, and slaves. That which we bow to serve is sin, surely eternal
spiritual death " the very death of our once innocent “developing” soul. Whereby, we become an “abomination of desolation”
having a vile odor of sin and death within our carnally disciplined and sin
steeped soul which is found to be faithful to the devil and which is shining
the light of the lie. We are in league with vanity and allied with the vainly
inspired, humanly concocted, and worldly commended ideas and idolatry that reek
of vile iniquity and rotting flesh. Are we the rebellious children of the devil
with our heart and mind set against the Holy Word of Scriptures? Neither should
we be found reprobate promoting our own gnostic ideas, human misconceptions of
godliness derived from a debased mind that incite dissension, not edification
in the body of Christ, the Word of God. For the Holy Scriptures have been
formulated and have been safeguarded by Divine Power and Providence. And they
speak of the disposition of sinners. God will reward us according to our deeds,
not according to what we think we know, for we can know nothing of the highest
truth in our carnal mind, but God is absolutely trustworthy to fulfill His Holy
Promise made to us. All of God's promises are written in Holy Scriptures. Holy
Prophecy has decreed and declared the infallible promises of God to those of
faith" that nothing on earth or in the heavens can separate us from the love of
God in Christ, our Grace Divine. For truly of ourselves we would know nothing
of the love and promises of God. But Jesus Christ and the Gospel of Him has
declared and exemplified the Will of God for us through his own words and
deeds; we are without excuse. Because we love God Who loved us first, we must
seek God; holding tightly to that holy and faithful tradition which speaks of
the lover who seeks his Beloved, the true lover who by Grace and Love seeks
after God, so is it said and well known by those who have sought God with all
their mind, heart, soul, and strength that in their seeking of God they have
found Him. As a matter of fact, unto those who knock the door shall be opened.
God opens the door of His heart, and to them whom God opens the door of His
heart they shall in no wise be kept out. Let us then boldly and confidently
love and thereby know God. The Word of Holy Prophecy that we love did not come
by the will of humanity, that is, it was not previously of the mind of humanity
before our blessing of the Holy Spirit; it was and is God Who blesses us with
the knowledge of His Spirit. If God had not given us of Himself, then Holy
Prophecy could never have been imagined, for the Holy Scriptures are solely by
the inspiration of the Spirit of God to His elect and faithful servants. It is said within the Holy Bible that to do good
and refrain from evil is understanding, and to love and fear God is the
beginning of Wisdom; thus again, it is Holy Scriptures that have given us our
understanding and wisdom, so that we come to know and believe, love and trust
to God. This commandment of exhortation for our created life, a soul-saving
axiom, filled with God's Love and Grace and which overflows with the blessings
of holy knowledge, understanding, and wisdom was from the beginning spoken by
God to Adam before the Holy Scriptures were written: God said to Adam, “Thou
shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in the day that
you eat of it you shall surely die.” This holy precept is known and realized in
our Christian inheritance of ancient written prophetic enlightenment being
beforehand versed in the old testament which is being the solid foundation for
the new testament of the Books of holy prophetic enlightenment.
Consequentially, today our human eyes see and our mind perceives so that our
heart overflow with God's love; being within our whole body, physically and
spiritually, mind and soul, beholden of all the sacred and loving statues of
our God and Father. Let our hearts not be hardened as in the provocation of
those that heard but yet disobeyed God's voice; conversely in the New Testament
is it said, “You
have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard him, . . . as the truth
is in Jesus” (eph 4:20, 21). Hence the old has provoked us to adhere to the new
which admonishes and edifies us when it announces, “In
time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the
prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of
disobedience” (eph. 2:2). Above all, the Bible serves as a written record that
surrounds us and it shields us from falling victim to the twisted and wicked
lies of human hypocrisy. The Holy Scriptures have served to tear down and
abolish the vain human morality of “will worship.” If one dares to read the
Holy Scriptures, then in their deepest being they are convicted of truth by the
love inherent in scripture, a love which they would deny, being belligerent and
opposed to the blessings of knowledge from the Holy. By Grace and Love, not by
force, but by His Holy Spirit does God convict the one who would be saved from
transgression: the Holy Scriptures be the instrument of God's Will which set
him along the path of righteousness and good works. The Bible sets to naught
the lone unholy misconceptions and misunderstandings of those who are
spiritually remiss, whether they be agnostic and in doubt, atheistic or
polytheistic and lost in the lie. However, the lovers of Christ, the beloved of
God know, understand, adhere to prophecy; markedly they are the blessed
possessors of the Wisdom from Grace, the salt of the earth. The Wisdom of Grace
was according to God's will, long before humanity and its subsequent lost of
innocence, Jesus Christ in His Spirit was being that form of Wisdom and in His
human body being that form of Grace. How marvelous, wonderful, and life-saving
is that Grace presupposed by God's Wisdom. God's gift of Himself is Grace.
Moreover, the knowledge of truth given us through Grace is extraordinary,
peculiar to every believing man, woman, and child. We who still tremble in fear and languish in doubt
not knowing the severity and love of God, if we persevere to the end in our
humble willingness and duty to love and respect our Heavenly Father, to
acknowledge the “begotten” Son, we shall not lose our life's eternal blessing
through Jesus. However we must wholly look to and adhere to the Holy Scriptures
which admonishes and edifies us. We learn from the stark example set forth in
the Scriptures concerning the unholy angels who know evil and fear using the
power of lies to mislead and condemn even the faithful if they are able; then
again the Scriptures excites our spirit by examples set us of the holy angels
who in holiness, righteousness and love are before the Throne of Grace, and
being in the presence of God, they rejoice singing, “Holy, Holy, Holy is God
Almighty.” For the holy angels praise and celebrate of the Wisdom of Grace of
God in Christ, at the Name of Jesus; while the unholy do tremble in their evil
with fear immediately upon hearing the Name " Jesus: Holy Word and Wisdom and
Power, the Son of God"the Lord of angels and men. It is Holy Wisdom from the
highest that we know, respect, and reverence the Grace and Power of God's Son
realizing that we are merely weak creatures who tremble in fear at the evil
continence of one another. Creatures who are so easily frightened that we
invent ideas for killing our own brothers and sisters, even our children. We
are so contrary to the Grace given us that it is said, “ a man's enemy is those
of his own household,” and being so scorned in his own home this man, who
aghast at the sin in his own house ought himself to repent of evil, yet he will
himself rise up in hostility against his neighbor. Of whom then can it be said,
“for your life and redemption Grace did come.” The fact is that the angels are not the recipients
of Holy Grace. We are the realities of Grace and Love. Thus for us, mere
creatures of earth and breath, “Salvation is here! And, it lives in me!” (the
titled song “Salvation is here” by the christian gospel group “Hillsongs.” God
is our “Solution” when by Grace we become mindful children, willful sons and
daughters, being His earthly eyes, hands, and feet; altogether being the body
of believers who while running this earthly race in faith and good works do
service for God. (“Solution” title name of the song by the gospel group
“Hillsong). Following this paragraph are a few questions to think about. These
few questions I believe are reasonable to be asked; in any case, either asked
by the faithless non-believers or, in doubt, they might be asked by the not so
devoutly faithful believer [not me?]. Conscientiously, rationally, if not
emotionally and disturbingly, these questions I have wrestle with in my search
for the reasons why it is said that Grace is costly, and why God was willing to
exert so great His Word and Spirit. However one must first be freed of
inordinate, perverted, instinctual drives and at liberty to honestly look at
our physical reality, and our interactions and reactions to one another as a
race of creatures. Our human history, which beyond a doubt, certifies the
record of Grace. In turn the prophetical written and revealed historical record
embodied in the Bible, also the present contemporary revelation's seen of
“saving” Grace teaches, admonishes, edifies, and reproves us in answer to these
questions duly and rightfully asked. God entreats us to take council with Him
and to come to Him with our questions. If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
drink (John 7:37).Yet their
are still people who even knowing Grace will not accept it because of obstinacy
and stiff-necked pride. Questions: “Why must Almighty God pay, be charged price, or assume surety for
some kind of cost for creation? Why must God be questioned or requested to
demonstrate knowledge, understanding and ability to do something He wants to do
- create? To what, or to whom, does God petition, beg, or quietly solicit " as
to someone or something of greater authority than Himself? And, just what is it
or, whom is it that God need overcome that He might speak His Word, exercise
and exact His Will and His way? Grace admonishes us: “There is nothing and
there be no one in heaven or earth greater or stronger than our God.” Moreover, in response to
these question, in the reply to me from Grace, once again I heard His voice
saying, “My child you must be heedful of the spirit and word of scriptures, for
in them I have mentioned my eternal name saying to you, 'I am.'” “God's Life,
Word, and Spirit is eternal and absolute sovereign evidence of itself;”
“Almighty, Divinity, and Perfection needs no more and no other proof beside
itself"for who is able to reprove the Holiness of God.” Therefore to the living,
life is the love and experience of service to God, but to those who are dying
life is the death and experience of not serving the Almighty God, not knowing,
neither perceiving, nor ever touching Holy Truth. The surest evidence of our
holy love of God, our life's approval of Holy Truth, is in the deep conviction
of our contrite and humbled heart; however, the sure fact of those that are
dead is rather in the evidence of their disapproval of Holy Truth; evidenced by
their reprobate mind and stubborn heart that firmly loves and is therefore
established in the will and desire of a carnal mind. Life and Truth is either
as the flavor of sweet fruit or else the savor of bitter herbs upon the palate
of the soul. But how many of us grow up among thistle and thorns, the bristle
and brambles, of this life being saved only by the love of God's Grace, and not
our merit. How wonderful was that Grace which saved us, amen. The lost and condemn, the
alienated sinner says, “What is Truth?” But of certainty, sooner or later, we
all must look into the the unchanging countenance of the face of Truth; either
we shall see into the compassionate eyes of the Light of Life or rather stare
starkly into the stern impassioned gaze of the darkness of death. Did we not
hear Jesus, when upon the cross He said, “It is finished:” At that time the
children were laid trustingly and faithfully, according to the Will of the
Father, into the bosom of Holy Truth " the Holy Ghost. The Word's judgment and
conviction verily came forth from the Father; in other words, God's will and
voice that called, formed and created all things, which verily presupposed the
Divine and human providential act and will of Jesus the Christ, Him Whom was
sent. Who coming forth was to pay with the sacrifice of His human life
propitiation for our sin. The sin that would come upon us, which was our
unavoidable and inevitable offense; the sin in which and by which we willfully
disregard and disrespect the Father's Word continually, even from the beginning
until now (“… the thoughts and imagination of man's heart is continually evil
…” : Genesis 6). The Father's cost, the life of the son, paid for us the
priceless value God deem our soul's worth; a price which was, is, and could
only be reconciled by, paid for by, and duly accounted for by that very Grace
and Truth of Jesus which the world, save His “Church,” has taken up offense
toward. Hence, vowing not to remember and neither wanting to be reminded that
it [the world] murdered, rejected and denied the Divinity and Innocence of
Jesus Christ. Never mindful that altogether, sinners in agreement with the
Lord's very own people did willingly and scornfully take Jesus, the Savior of
the world, the Most Holy and Glorious, the Blessed and Exalted, verily the
Bodily vessel of God's Word we did nail upon a tree: “Cursed is he that hangs
on a tree.” Our God and Father thus
answered these questions when with the life of His Word God paid, when with His
Wisdom God displayed, and when with His Power God exerted Grace and Truth,
giving fully of Himself to fill up the whole measure of Truth, Holiness,
Righteousness, and Holy Prophecy: timely, the bodily life, holy revelation, and
the death and resurrection of Jesus, the “Christ of God”, the “Begotten” One,
the Glorious Word of His bosom. Himself being the ultimate and unquestionable
fulfillment of the price handed over for our liabilities, unholy and inglorious
disrespect and irreverence: surely sin against Him, His preachings and
teachings, and our rebuke and rebellion against the truth of the incarnation
and human bodily form of God's son. In essence of truth since our creation we
have been abusing and defying the Holy and Glorious Divine Word of God,
rejecting and denying The Holy Spirit of God. The unavoidable fact is that our
dark light of imperfection, seeing that we are but human not divine, neither
are the angels divine, thus by the power of sin inherent to formed and created
things we have been " only seemingly, for truly the God and the Word cannot be
touched nor defile -- casting the appearance of a defiling light of darkness,
sin and disobedience, upon God and His Word. Some may deny or be ignorant of
this truth, but that matters not, disbelief does not remove guilt. Seeing is
believing, all things true are born up and bound up in the Holy Truth, that is,
they are or will be testified of by the Holy Spirit of God. The Spirit of God
does not depend upon nor is needful of man's belief or agreement " It is what
it is: Absolute Life, Light, and Truth. The person(s) that would be
true to themselves and seeks to learn from the light of God's Wisdom is one who
is obliged to seek, for they that seek finds that they might perceive, see,
hear, and feel God's Spirit, Grace and Truth. And by the wisdom of their
obedience to God's Will, it is surely reasonable to be believe that the Word
and Spirit of God will afford, verily display, and unmistakably demonstrate all
along the lines of the Grace and Truth to them the “Divine” purpose. For that
person being a child of God, a child of God's Will, bearing the fruits of truth
within themselves is aligned with the Holy Spirit. God sharing Eternal Truth
describes His cost paid, His will displayed, and His spirit exerted for our
life and being. God's Holy Wisdom is displayed in that we are made by His Word
and Spirit, that is, God sent out His Loved-ones from His bosom, and thus the
Word and Spirit condescending into the depths of emptiness in their Divine
power commanded and manifested all things to be, producing our created life and
our abode " the created universe. Which is now firmly established in the agape
love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Moreover, by God's Love and in His
Holy Wisdom, we received holy adoption and thereby holy inheritance at cost to
God, being verifiable by and within the Will of God, the old and new testament
of God, the written evidence of the Life of His Son. It is by God's Wisdom that
we are specifically heirs of the Word, benefactors of the Life and Will of a
Savior come from God. By the Divine Wisdom of God's providence we have, surely,
at our right-hand the canonized Bible, the probate documentation and written
evidence of His Will and Testament. God's Wisdom is sought and found in the
Holy Scriptures: Holy writ of God documenting our holy heritage and likewise
our legal rights as children and co-heirs with Jesus, the Son of the Most High
God. By the Divine gift of Holy Wisdom from Grace, the spirit of wisdom come to
us by Grace, the one and the same spirit of God's Son which we now do share, as
a result we know and understand that Holy Scriptures was written by the hand of
our forefathers whose mind, heart, and soul was infused with the Holy Spirit;
the pages of which are inked in the precious blood of the One “Begotten” Son,
our Lord, our Savior, our Holy Kinsman. Holy Writ ascribes and prescribes our relationship
to God by Holy faith in His Word; therefore, each person through the Spirit and
by the human blood relation to Jesus has promise to receives their inherited
portion of the gift, the Holy Spirit bequeathed us through Him. So in as much
as a man-made will is earthly proof of a person's final thoughts and their
desired disposition of possessions to be allotted to their family and
loved-ones left behind, so, too, is the Holy Bible the Divine writ of will, old
and new testament, of God concerning His Word and the disposition of spiritual
gifts allotted to His spiritual family here on earth after the the Son's
departure. Holy Writ speaks of Holy Faith in God; the Bible is a matter of
God's will which strictly concerns family inheritance; it is a Holy matter,
exclusively a family affair. Wherefore Holy Scripture is clear in its dictates
to those of the family of faith who believe and thus would inherit salvation
and eternal life. To the contrary, all who chose not to be inclusively named
among the faithful children of God, they are wretched and forsaken choosing to
be disinherited. Even unto His family, as
unto all, God wielded perfect and sovereign Justice, Love and Truth, the Holy
ingredients of all to whom God gave life, light, and substance. Immutable God
in the perfectness of His Spirit, in His perfection of the created, paid cost,
displayed wisdom, and exerted power, and by the rule of “agape” love judges
rightly all that He has wrought and created. God therefore need not show
favoritism, for the the gift of God's Word and Spirit is upon all. However
God's love, the Word of Grace, saves the meek and humble for it leads the
peacemaker to that mercy which triumphs over judgment. The Wisdom of our God
and Father, besides His prepayment " Grace " for our allotted cost to Holy
Truth, displays His perfect ability to create and perfect that which is but a
created thing, and which is by its very intrinsic created nature doomed to
disintegration. In His perfect Wisdom, knowledge and understanding, thus powerfully
of His Holy Spirit, God is revealing the depth and the debt in which He has
honored the Word of our creation, and the length and the width in which He has
glorified the cornerstone of Holy Truth, His Word and His Spirit. He has set as
cost and payment the Holy Life of the Word and the powerful exertion of His
Holy Spirit: this is God's own self-imputed Divine accountability; likewise it
is God's own self-assessed Eternal and Infinite “tribute” payment owed and
renowned for Holiness. Divine cost, wisdom, and power is God's Holy
verification of the Divine Integrity of His Word, Holy and Perfect Truth. God
by Grace, Holy Love and Perfect Wisdom has passionately, affectionately and
wisely established, settled and fulfilled the [His] absolute contractual integrity
and responsibility to the Holiness of Divine Truth, All-Truth. God, Holy Being
and Holy Life, has in His absolute righteousness, in His “Way” of Holiness,
that is, in the perfection, integrity and purity of Divinity"in that it is
impossible for God to lie"so has He powerfully exercised and exerted His Holy
Spirit, Himself and His Word; hence it is according to the lone Council of His
Love and Will that God entreated us and enjoined us to Holy Truth. Absolutely and
consequentially in Grace's answer to us, that is, when by the gift of Grace to
us, we look to find the answers to such questions " our doubts, we shall learn
that God is demonstrating His Eternal Province for all the works of His mighty
hand. Also in answer to these questions Grace makes plainly visible to God's
children, to all who seek Truth in God, His Paternal care, responsibility, and
charge over the welfare of all spiritual life in the Kingdom of Heaven and His
welfare of all life human, or otherwise. For God keeps all who do faithfully abide
here in this created abode, verily the works of God's hands, our gift of life
upon the earth. Of Divine import to us is Grace's care and concern principally
for our human life, to cover with holy balm, to bind up our wounds, and to heal
our spiritual lesions and lacerations resulting from sin which powerfully
resides in the earth and which vexes with infirmities our life and body and
soul in this spatially separated reality apart from God. Thus we here on earth
are in a constant battle with not only self, pride and ego, but we must fight
off dark spirits and be ever on guard against dominions and principalities of
abject darkness that would take possession our very soul, But for Grace the
victory could not have been won. In His Divine, Absolute
Sovereignty and Power God has charge and command over all things, which
includes charge over the life and doings of the unholy angels who were cast out
of the Holy Kingdom of Heaven, being bound and chained in darkness, and thus
relocated unto the heavens and the earth beneath God's feet, the separate space
of the creation. And so they dwell in the different spheres above which
transcends down even unto the life-sustaining atmosphere of the air we breathe
on earth. They dwell and have their being now amongst the inhabitants of the
earth. However God eternally
preserving and mightily keeping us by His right-hand having indeed paid,
displayed ,and exerted toward us “little” children who are specifically of the
earth, who are made of the earth, and who are the most needful children of the
earth and therefore divinely nurtured children of the earth, so has God
demonstrated the Divine Long-suffering Patience of a Father's love; although
and despite we were and still are altogether, a most wayward and rebellious
brood of children. It is heresy to say or
think that God needs to or wants to flaunt His Absolute Power and Invincible
Will; it is abominable to say or think that God is allure by vanity. A wanton
desire for vain-glory, as of those so-called “demigods” that guileful
philosophers and the wise men of the world have conjured up in their own vain,
reprobate minds of depravity. An eternal value infinitely
priceless that is the gratuitous payment of God to us-ward: we His “little”
children, and in that unimaginable and unfathomable amount is the sum total of
all debt payments toward the how's and why's demanded of truth and reality,
angels and accusers. God gave Himself as of a propitiation that covers all our
liabilities to perfection. His Gift of Himself spiritually granted, a gift
bestowed upon us and which came without claim or obligation, only promise. God
revealing Himself was Grace from the very beginning; God Graced us with and by
His presence in the “Garden,” by the deluge, by holy promise; again with and by
holy commandments, by miraculous deeds of the Spirit working through Jesus, by
the visible and insurmountable faith of the apostles in Christ, and by the
steadfastness of those first born “new creatures” who though severely
persecuted went on to be namely called Christians, and were the beginning
pillars of the first Church. Then in the power and love of Holy Grace, God's
utmost Gift, revealing in the being and body of Jesus, His Son, God's very own
true essences. God revealed Himself through Jesus; Him Whom we crucified on the
tree. And as if all these were not enough evidence of His love for us " God
forgave us for the murder of His Son; even pardoning us. God had beforehand
established the high and holy accreditation that is Grace, a Grace which is
fully able to settle all argument against us. For Grace was the only possible,
perfect, means for Divine Truth to remain perfect in unity and agreement with
the invariable dictates of Holiness; hence and therefore, our very own
redemption and salvation is holy and true, being vouchsafe in God's
Immutability of Truth and Purity of Holiness. Jesus' murder sinfully conceived
in our human mind and heart, carried out by vile and deliberate hands covered
in His blood, the action and result of that thing which God predetermined
necessary, which should have the power to set the captives prisoners of death
free. Because He hated their impending death God made payment for their eternal
life through Jesus Christ, by His body hung on a tree and cursed, accused of
the sins upon us, and not himself, which sins must be paid. Jesus paid it in
full with His own Love and Life for us. It is inconceivable to us
that a person would paid a debt for a stranger with his very own life.
Uncompromisingly, Jesus of His Father's Will , truly, of His own will, love and
trust in the Father's Will set for Him, in Whom is our Grace from God, Who is
also our Father. Jesus thought it not robbery to be for a time departed from
the heaven for us, considering us worthy to be paid for with His humility and
His own life " his own humanly finite, fragile, frail body which was being just
as sensitive to physical pain and suffering, and His heart just as move to
sorrow and compassion by mental and emotional suffering, His own and His own
for the world. Still He chose to be the propitiation for all the sin of man:
from Adam to Judas Iscariot, notwithstanding for the sins of this generation.
Jesus is the Cost paid, the Wisdom displayed, and the Power exerted by God in
His Being, His Word, and His Spirit: even for the next generation(s)? But today
is our Day of the Lord, our Day of Grace. So also is today covered and
fulfilled by the Holy Faith of Jesus, the Word incarnate. As a matter of Truth,
God's Word has been and always was meant to be our Grace, our Savior come from
Heaven to do and to fulfill God's bidding. Jesus, Grace, bore us. Grace is
substituted; lovingly, awesomely, and divinely “in lieu” of our true nature of
sin, our inclination to sin. The sins we have committed by commission or in
omission: the first to trust to sin (agreeing within our will to sin) or the
second indifference to sin (agreeing within our will to not sense sin) both
case belies of us of being true to ourselves; we are convicts convicted by the
Lie. Thank God for Grace, “unmerited favor,” “undeserved forgiveness,” from
Agape Love that came by way of Jesus Christ, the Holy Word of God, even before
we were born: Grace we see again that it bore us. God’s Holy Word the
exactness of Himself that He Wills to speak and the sanctification of its immersion
and adhesion unto the human body of Jesus is become the “peculiar” reason,
nature of body, and spirit of being for us. Jesus' human body sanctified by its
Spirit and in its human will and human acts sinless, it was sacrificed,
crucified, and did died a human death in life and, yet, is alive and living
again, holy and highly lifted above all human and angelic life. Jesus is the
Glory of His Father and His Father's Glory is Jesus' exactness of Glory. Jesus
is Divine evidence of the Holiness which physically tread within " His own
creation. Going to and fro in our separate spatial reality apart from God and
His distinct Holy Spatial Reality and, which is Jesus' very selfsame Holy
Spatial Reality. Jesus is the Holy Faith which bears human faith unto fruition.
His Faith is that which powerfully works out and fulfills our “Living” hope,
faith, and love in life; our solid and unshakable foundation against all the
vicissitudes of our human life of being on the earth. It is for Holy Faith
[Jesus] which is the indissoluble foundation of our own faith, and it is for
the Indissolubility of Holy Love that God has taken up Holy Defense of His Son
the Word Incarnate, defending Jesus' Holiness and truly His Holy Revelation of His
Word spoken, “Begotten.” Jesus was Spirit sent, coming in human form and human
nature. But absent of the nature of human sin and our perspicacity for falling
into the will, affections, and deeds of sin. He is namely Jesus ben Joseph from
Nazareth in Galilee: it is in Defense of His Word pour out, the precious
spilled blood of Jesus the Creator and Savior of the world and because of the
unprovoked offenses toward God and His Anointed. The intrinsic state of
Holiness' inviolable, untouchable, and unshakable purity has instinctively,
offensively and defensively, too powerfully, undeniably, and unquestionably
moved God Himself for His own sake; albeit unilaterally and visibly for our
sake. But True God above all else is beholding, and, is the Beholden Holiness
of His Word by Whom He called forth creation, and which is being the Voice of
God invoked and that did initiated the Holy Spirit to fulfill God's desire of
Word and Will. So we can see that it is not solely nor even primarily, for our
sake that God reveals Himself. God's Holiness demands conformity; It [God]
must; Holiness is the Oneness of Himself alone. God is Holy Spirit, the stamp
and seal of Holiness and His Word. Because the Holy Word,
Spirit, and Being of God is Oneness, therefore God [His] Word and God [His]
Spirit and God [His] Being is One Essence of Holiness therein, and each
contiguous facet is an Individuality of the One Holiness in and of itself.
There are times, situations, and circumstances which we find in Holy Scriptures
when it seems we are to perceive the the Individual Essences of God as acting
alone and of itself. In these occasions are the deliberate demonstrations to us
within the Scriptures by the Spirit [God] Whose Being is Wholeness. Hence, He
is showing to us that each Individual Essence of His Being is the One Holiness
of God. Each being fully in itself the Being, the Word, Spirit, and the very
Presence of the whole perspicacity of God " in Power of Spirit, Wisdom of Word,
and Purpose of Will. The Spirit of Truth, which
is the Life and Being of all that is True Holiness, it alone can and does
testify saying, “God is the Only Concrete, Absolute Existence of Deity and
Holiness;” also, it does testify, “God Himself is the Only Concrete, Absolute,
Life, Way, and Means possible of exactly expressing Himself Whom in and of His
being He is the Prepositional (of, by, for ..etc.) Who presupposed all that is
or is to come (new beginning(s) or final ending(s) of that which has already
begun, and of that which shall have or has had its finality of purpose for God,
its end). For Only God alone is Perfect to speak of Himself and to disclose
just Who, Whom, What, Why, Where, When, and How it is that He is, and, too His
doing. Since, God is Unapproachable and Inviolable Holiness, hence Holy Scriptures
ask, 'Who has the Mind, Heart, and Spirit of God?'” God alone. It is to our shame and
guilt that we should mention His Name, even idly? If you search the truths of
Hebraic history, then we find that to speak the Name of God with the exception
of the times and performances of Holy Rites and the formal congregations of the
people presided over by the High priest would be to impute a sentence of death
upon one's self. The precise Name, Yahweh was unheard amongst the populace
because being irreverently spoken it invoked the wrath of the people who
worship His Name as Holy and Alive in itself. It might invoke the wrath of God
Himself upon the whole nation. It was considered to be foolish, ignorant, and
willful sacrilege of the Name of God which to them was even as sacrilege of His
Word and His Spirit each being the Holiness of God. Sacrilegious in it nature
and that because being in our own nature we are but sinners, inclined to sin,
even unworthy to mention the Name of God
Most Holy without defiling its Holiness. To casually mention the Name of God
was strictly forbidden and punishable by the judgment of the congregation. If
not truly to be guilty of blasphemy and condemnation to eternal death by God
Himself; of this, in the Light of Grace today, we cannot be altogether sure,
but it fits of a truth in the confines of our knowledge of His Holiness. Oh! but for the Grace of
God, Word of God, that now does bear us still. Jesus is Lord! A very short, short story:
Love is Divine by default. No one makes a thing to hate it? Divine Love is
God’s “Method of Operation“. In God’s business and in His office Charity is
Administrator, and the earth is Charity's “Area of Operation.” The location of
Charity's Headquarters and offices is tendered, Mercies. Truth is the office
Administrator. Truth is to view and approve all of Charity's appeals to Love.
And their postage stamp and their delivery is paid for by Grace; Grace oversees
all postage of Truth's applications, violations, and petitions of appeals which
are submitted by the concerned parties to the office of Love. It is the
organization of Grace that all these forms coming out of the office of Charity
in tendered, Mercies do find their way into the Holy Court of Love, and Holy
Justice presides. God consummated the Divine contract by Love through the
organizational requirements of Grace: Truth, Mercy and Charity. Truth by way of
tendered, Mercies of Charity. Divine Love checks its mail, the stamp and its
seal, and then opens each envelop individually and personally regards what is
found inside. So we are the form of
subsidiaries of God’s Revelation, that is, Grace has come to form us. And we
ought to conform to its Love which loved us before our beginning. We are
contracted to its Holy Writs and we are secured in and by it, and held liable
to it. We were [humanity] the sole purpose for which Grace, the contract of
“Unconditional” Love was drawn up. Our state of Grace was necessitated upon our
creation if we were to fit properly in the Spirit of Truth, the body of God,
the form of His Word and Will; being in form the image and likeness of God's
Son, even Jesus the man. We alone needed it and we alone received it. We are
its referents not the angels. And we of humanity are cover by it, but we must
on an individual basis truly accept it and come into agreement with Grace;
thereby willfully prescribing it for and to our personal being. Lest we are
found to have taken the other tact; only to become vile litigant(s) of Grace;
rebellious in our nature, and showing ourselves to be willfully resisting and
forsaking Holy Grace, the “unmerited favor” and propitiation for our sin. We
truly and realistically belong to Grace; we are individually licensed
franchised “living” products bound by the Love and Truth of God's oath; bound
by God's spoken Word that was not spared, but sacrificed to seal Grace and Love
and Truth with Divine contractual Holiness, God's indissoluble Word of Holy
Integrity. It may be
that I am now going to proceed the long, wrong way “chasing round the mulberry
bush,” probably. It is highly likely that I have interrupted and grossly
digressed from astutely following upon a concise line of reasoning in sync and
correlation with the facts and ideas in the previous paragraphs. So it may seem
I have begun a topic not pursuant to be place here, talk of God's Holiness. But
bear with me. I will do my best to link together what was said previously and
what I am digressing(?) upon fore-with as succinctly and legibly as possible. Excuse me,
I am not a professional writer. Nor a Theological scholar. More like an
undisciplined and lazy man. Besides, the fact that I am not professionally
a writer or a theologian, which is plainly enough to see here, makes room for
my fail proof excuse when I write or speak of things concerning God and
Holiness " that there are no expert on earth save one, the Holy Ghost. But let me get back now to my circumstance of
the mulberry bush and trying to capture the gist of one topic Holiness and God. As a matter of Eternal Truth God and Holiness (the
expressions used to convey Deity and Divinity)
are equally synonymous to speak one of the other. Both can be
synonymously used nouns, verbals, or adjectival, naming, subjectively and
objectively, they can be predicates for His action and state of being, or the descriptors
of His being, physical, and spiritual
the One Divine Deity of Being: the God of Holiness; the Holiness of God both
express the same idea that idyllically names, predicates, and describes
Divinity. To mention either is to be speaking truly of the other. It can be
said that devout Holiness is God's devotion, for God is devout in [His]
devotion of Holiness, Divinely devotional in all His will and acts. Why did I mention the story of the mulberry bush
and how does or how can it be related? There are those who believe that that
monkey in the story is my progenitor. What of the weasel that is seen
outsmarting me - the progeny of a monkey. Anyway, the seemingly more wiser "
than I - weasel was in the mulberry bush all the same, and the monkey knew it. Who
is he or who is his progenitor? What is of so great importance to me that I am
chasing and searching in and all around that mulberry bush, like a monkey for
him? So I hope that just as the monkey was not far from catching up to his
prize, the weasel, in the mulberry bush; hopefully, I am not too far from also
catching up to the gist of my subject, and my prize that I know is in that
bush. I am not ambivalent towards the saying, “one weasel in the hand is worth
a million in the bush”. Or is that one bird? What do I know? After all in the
proverbial story of the the bush, the weasel, and the monkey (an allegory of
the searching in life and my own life, my mind and my heart, for God and His
Word, for Life and Faith leading to salvation) I am just the monkey? Consequently, my developing line of reasoning will
be as searching my own (a sinner's) ambiguity of a gracefully learned truth
though, not as yet, a truly and fully experience and realized one (John 5:24; 2
Cor. 5:17). My ineptitude is plain to see here, not from any lack in my faith
and trust in God and His Holiness of Being or in the beautifully clear and
precise picture the Holy Scriptures portrays of God's Holiness of Being, but it
will be quite noticeable in my inability to capture with human sensible, simple
and sound reasons my own expression of thoughts and words hopefully supported
by the Holy Scripture (Rom. 2:1-16). For greatly, purely, and impossibly
unfathomable is the [my] ambiguity surrounding the unsearchable Truth of
Godliness and Holiness. Thanks be to God for Holy Scriptures. The fact is, “I don't truly and I can't truly know
anything for certain of God, save that He has and does reveal Himself to me;
that He has and does love me, and that He does and has always shined Grace upon
me (Jer.
46:28).
Blessedly my desire of willingness to believe Holy Scriptures, the written
record of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit copied by the hand of men liken to
myself, flesh and blood, yet faithful and therefore meet for the Master's use.
They too were mere men but tried and found to be true believers of the Word of
God (Isa.
54:7. 8. 10.11). Hence,
my own willingness to believe the Holiness of God (just like the monkey's
willingness and desire to believe that weasel was worth catching) has been and
is satisfying, conducive to my soul's welfare: trusting in the sure reward of
“Living” Hope. Now, as concerning the monkey his hope or hopelessness "
remember, I am thought to be his progeny, though found today a man, still I am
not qualified, knowledgeable, or wise enough to know or speak of a monkey's
hope. Well in order to make my short story even shorter
I will just say that by my present humbled motive to write, I am as a parched
and thirsty man searching for God, truly I do not need to know the motive of
that monkey. What I do know is that I have been pitied and granted by God
enough sense to stop rebelliously chasing and belligerently thrashing around
the mulberry bush. Even to forsake the doubting of my feeble and frightened
mind and heart about a Loving God (LAM. 3:31,32). Thus trusting and believing that I have been
moved By Grace to pursue, investigate, and profit from the [my] revealed and
moving truths, so I might find my God. He has granted me a moment of clarity,
enough sense to just stop, sit down and check the record, the truth in the Holy
Scriptures of His Grace; coupled with my own experiential evidence, physical
and spiritual in nature, of God and His revealed Truth of Himself, of Grace,
and of the substantiated “unmerited favor” and protection I have received
personally and spiritually, powerfully. What did I notice of the fool I am? Sight to see?
Yes! all the evidence against me, and that is in support of God and His Truth
which He has thoughtfully and deliberately placed before my mind, my heart, and
my eyes. For what reason Has God benedictions come to us, to me? To save my
neglected soul that I have poorly and not properly cared for; my developing
childlike soul, my own evolving spirit of eternal life in me that"is going to
be the whole and eternal truth of who I am, what I am, and what is my will. My
soul in the afterlife, which is going to be the place of my eternal life, will
be that essence of spirit " good or evil " I had proven myself to have been and
loved being while in my possession of the created life given me. What was I
doing right or, more importantly, wrong? For he that sins will surely die (1
Thess. 5:12). Being all my life overly-proud, anxious and obnoxious, full of
belligerent curiosity for the dark tricks and for the sporting of human lies,
being foolish in my ignorant, undiscerning, and disagreeable will for anything
good and right, yet being ever game for debauchery, iniquity, and sin. It looks
as if the monkey was better off than I the man, at least he was only doing his instinctive
will that of an animal. I was truly in my earliest beginnings in life lost in
sin; Hence, all the while surely up to no good, wasting away chasing that
“weasel” in a man's life " “sin.” It is By Grace and Grace alone that I have lived,
still healthy and partly of sound mind until today, and by that Grace I have
stop chasing around the proverbial mulberry bush to consider not about vain
weasels, silly monkeys, personal vanity, or the abominable desolation of sin
any longer, but about a wondrous love I have found of God. In essence, Grace
has done for me what I could never have done for myself (Mic. 7:9). By Grace I have had my mind restored and
redirected toward God Who made the world, the “mulberry bush,” the monkey, me,
and that darn weasel. Could, should, or would I as one saved from death or in
the monkey case one whose behavior is proper for an animal be slandered? Can,
shall, or will I be considered a man that is heretical because I, the man, was
to give thanks to God for the stings that were leading unto my own death? Or in
the monkey's case it be one that is considered insane because after outsmarting
and catching the weasel he could not realize why he wanted the weasel in the
first place. For me however, say what you will about that silly old monkey, the
truth is that through my living, suffering, pain from death's sting, and my due
repentance, I have somehow, providentially I am sure, survived; moreover and
quite certainly, I have found out the ugly truth of myself and my behavior.
Also I have found that God's Word and Wisdom and Love has paid the cost, has
displayed the wisdom, and has exerted the power to save a wretch like me. My
God and Father has made all things to work out for my salvation through Jesus
Christ; notwithstanding though all the while I was the precipitation of sin
upon and against Him and His Word. God through Jesus Christ has justified,
sanctified, and glorified the mulberry bush (the creation) and the man (the
sinner). God has purchased for us, not for Himself or His Word for God is Holy
and Eternal Spirit, paid the price for our victory over death and healing for
the sting of death. How beyond measure is God and Holiness the good
and right gift to our lives. Especially, in this light: that the man considered
a monkey should stop monkeying around in order to meditate on the Highest
[God]. That should say all that needs to be said about Who is my true Father. I
have to let others believe as they do, for once I was in abject unbelief
myself. God will do for them when they want Him and seek Him. As it is said,
“it is in the seeking that one finds,” in the “knocking that the door shall be
opened;” also an example of God's Paternal love to us children " though some
are still lost and in darkness " of His Word and Will is found in Scripture
where we find it written, “What man would give his son a stone when he asked of
him bread?” So let us, all of us, if only for a moment, sit and eat some
mulberries and we can all together “meditate” and “contemplate,” I have found
these truly comforting and comfortable words a way of saying we are “thinking
of God” when in the presence of scorners and haters. For truly was it and is it
said, “The problem with us “thinking” human monkeys is that our big old brains
get in the way,” especially when we think of things we like or hate too much;
we are the worst of hypocrites so very harmful to ourselves concerning what is
vital to life everlasting. Yet my brain never thinks to vitally check my
extremity of pride and fear, my warped personality and ego, nor the effects of
all my other deadly vices of sin, and in the like of truth they are
innumerable. Meditate: upon a Spatial Reality that is in its
being Spirit Life and Power, Energy Kinetic and Potent; its Eternal Purity is
Absolute. Ever in or ever of its Spatial Being was anything but itself; it was,
is, and always will be its own complete fullness. It is intrinsic to divide, to
separate, its Spatial Reality, its “Holiness” of Spirit Being, that is, its
Life and also its Light"energy, wisdom, and capability to grant and give
life"from all that it desires to manifest, create, or form. Whether it be that
of animate life, a spirituality and a physicality of form, or that of an
inanimate object. Both of which are subjects and objects things of “created” or
“formed” reality that came after Holiness. God [I am] presupposed their being
by His Will, Power and Wisdom. The Eternal All-powerful Spatial, intrinsically
Divisional, is “God” - Absolute “Holiness.” God is separate in His Being from
everything that is not literally Himself; in others words, He is separate and
separated from all that is not being Divine. This phenomenal state of His Being
that can hardly be feigned conceivable or perceptible is His singularity, being
God's Superiority, Extraordinary, Unimaginable Peculiarity, and His
Incomprehensible Distinction from all else that is. All that is, including the angels who though being
closest in proximity to the the separate Spatial Reality of God and His
Holiness; also closer in their relativity to the image of the Spirit than we
are in our created and formed body. However they are not literally in God's
very own Divine Spatial Reality of Holiness. It may be that in their beginning
as God formed them of and by the ingredients of His Spirit, the angels to begin
with were therefore God's first special partiality of life lived outside
Himself. But they did not and do not reside in the Separate and Divine Spatial
Reality that Is God. We see that some could not even remain in God's Kingdom of
Heaven. In fact those angels that do remain in Heaven are not of the exact
Holiness of God. Because no angel in Heaven, on earth and, of course not in
hell, is the Essence that is exact Holiness. The Essence that is Holiness is
that of God alone. Of course we human-beings are another image of the Word of
Holiness, particularly Jesus. But as of Truth and our carnal nature, we are as
far from Holiness as light is from dark, as far from Holiness as east is from
west. Yet in all this, Truth tell us that the God of Holiness begat us by His
Word and His Spirit keeps us, and watches over us. All who enter and exit and all who had entered and
exited our own separated spatial reality have our entrance by the way and means
of God had in mind: the angels were formed and human-beings are born into life;
upon exiting we die, the angels unto eternal damnation or continued long life
in the eternity of the Presence of Holiness. As for human-beings since we are
tenets of Grace our flesh like seeds planted in the soil decays naturally or it
is by our choice literally destroyed, sometimes sooner or sometimes later than
natural decay, by and in our sins. Yet our souls, that is, the eternal true
life in us from the Spirit of Life; God-assigned life, a gift of Himself to us
that quickened our flesh in it mortality of life on earth. Thus, our souls is
of eternal value and consequence; liable and imputable to the truth set in us
by Holiness' dictates for Truth. The truth is that all subordinate life is of
God's [Holiness'] Will. Furthermore, we live in the body that the Divine,
Separate, Eternal, Spatial Life of Reality and Power proposed, formulated and
created: the angels by a formation of Spirit and human-being by a creation and
formation of earth and endowed with life and power. The Spirit is life; in my
flesh I am nothing and could do nothing. In the Truth of Himself, the God of Holiness is
notwithstanding of the holy angels who have been in their chronology of being
formed in its presence; still, these are only given the outstanding gift of
being, seeing, hearing, lighting, and praising in the presence of God's
Holiness. Holiness is rarely and hardly ever to be approached. It is not
approachable and rarely approached in a definable proximity even by the holy
angels. They cry out unto Holiness, and then bow deeply before it from across
the spatial “divide” that is the separative reality of itself. It is absolutely
out of all physical and worldly perceptibility, and truly an inconceivable
reality to and by our human abstraction of truth and reality. But I would feign
to believe that is infinitesimally perceptible to perhaps a minute and truly
devout and faithful number of believers within their sincerest and solemnest
prayers, meditation, and divinely inspired contemplation. For even a likeness
of it is incomprehensible. It is in-explicable and inexpressible by words,
signs, images, or ideal ideas of men to communicate about its nature of being,
save to prostrate ourselves in holy fear and reverence of it. Holiness is
inviolable and displaces from itself all that is not God's Immediacy of Being.
The touching of Holiness by a thing less than Holiness has not ever, and is not
ever even a granted allowance (John 20:17); for in that case, if, Holiness was
allowed to be touched it would cease be able to define and divide Divine
Existentialism from our own human existentialism. For in the very self-same
instance of it being touched, then the existence of the one and only thing that
was being Holy, separated, untouchable, and untouched in all reality - it would
cease to be the truth in and of itself. For Holiness to defiled is for Holiness
to be undone. Point of fact is that the Bible does literally,
unmistakably describes and displays Holiness simply enough that even us
“monkeys” can too grasp its truism of the God Who is alone Enthrone Holy
Absoluteness. Within the Light of the Holy Word of the Scriptures therein exist
an overwhelming body of evidence to the truth of the Invincible and Inviolable
Body of separation between the created reality in which we dwell and that Holy,
Absolute, Sovereign reality of God, that is, God's purity and entirety of
Spirit. There exist a separation between His Divine Holy Truism and our created
truism. There is this same “Separating-apartness,” the conspicuous " deified, holy, consecrated and sanctified "
dimension and dominion of absolute pure and utter inviolable “Glory of God.”
Holiness makes the angels to shine as brightest lights as they stand before
Him. And they shine continually in and of that brightest of light, which never
dims to fade, as they go in and out from before Presence of the Throne of
Holiness. Neither does it dim, as if to fade, when they go to and fro in the
creation that is not only spiritually separate but too moreover physically
separate from God's awesome “Separating-apartness,” “Divine Holiness.” However we
human-beings, though some even the distinctly called and “favored” children of
the Will of “God Most High,” are only notwithstanding in our election by Grace,
and are deliberate, needed, and earnest will to accept that Grace, hardly or
ever able to sense Holiness' fullness. But because we too are children liken to
holy angels inwardly and outwardly shining of Holiness' Light " whether
immediately able to sense that Light "
so we are being secure and surrounded by it. We are not at all times
devout and faithful as needed to be. This is our impossibility in being human
and plagued by sin. We are not perfect or perfecting in and of ourselves. Yet
by the efficacy of Holiness, it is able to make us within our covering of Grace
absolute and conspicuous “distinctions” of commended " by God's Word "
responsible and accountable agents of piety (Mark 10:27; Romans 8:28). Albeit
that the Holiness of God justifiably separates us from ever being able to fully
receive all of Him, in this life or the life hereafter. For no matter, and it
does not matter Holiness Divine, how perfectly human we could be or how
devoutly spiritual minded and willing we could be in our thinking and
believing; it matters not whether in our being earthy bodies separated from
heaven or souls being humbled to arrived at heaven's gate, it does not make any
difference whether we are earth bound or heaven found we shall invariably find,
see, know, realized, and count ourselves blessed by the Holiness that be God's,
never our own fact of being. Abstractly
or concretely, it may be that we might feign to touch of ourselves the
attributes of Truth, Reality, and Love; there are also many other fine
attributes we can or seemingly can possess, for these are possible human
attributes being passed also to us through our likeness of Jesus. However as
God is Almighty, Purity, and Holiness He has forever reigned sovereign and
absolutely above the mere being and appearances of Truth, Reality, Love, and
any other exalted attributes that are born of Him (they not so mere to us or
the angels for we are blessedly made to be images of these divine attributions
of God). Although, one might say that God is Truth, Reality, and Love. This is
correct in the sense that He revealed Himself to be of them - to us. But if we
were left alone to the Truth working in and of itself without God to temper it
with Grace, it would convict me " truthfully " of sin, and reality left to
itself without Grace tempering it, I would be sitting in the pit of hell of my
own freewill; in the truth of that reality I am actually worst off than just
being dead. For I would be eternally condemn by sin and my own deeds of sin. So
we see that God, in reality and in true sense, perfects and perfected Truth and
Reality for me by His Word, His Will, His Spirit that are of Holiness' [His]
distinction of extremity. For my sake? Yes! Because it is seen that I deserved
to be in the outer darkness, yet I am not " Why? Because God's Holiness is
reigning above Truth and Reality. God pulled ranked on these on my behalf;
truly, though not on my behalf but on Grace's behalf. God out-ranks these
highest esteemed of attributes, for He perfects them and does beautify them
above their own comely fullness of powerfully axiomatic dominion and
principality. Also we
say, “God is Love,” and He is. That is correct in love's comely ordinary
essence, but in the extraordinary - Holiness, God has perfected the axiomatic
beauty, dominion, and principality of Love. In that, He did make Love for my
sake to be “unconditional,” yet truly not for my sake but for Grace's sake: For
God “so” Loved the world that"He gave His only “Begotten” Son. Once again, God
is seen to “pull rank.” Even on Love? If in man in his kindest ever hearts and
minds of love I him, and in our highest ever philosophies for love and about
love, we believe and say, “If you love a thing let it go and if it is love it
will come back to you.” Then what we might consider God's ordinary comeliness
of love, is it not even more so better than that our ignorance of true Love. He
loved us comely enough when with an ordinary comeliness of love, as of that
which you might bestow upon a thing you lovingly work on and make to your own
liking. Hoping to keep it closest in mind and heart of all the other things you
have made because it came out right. Nevertheless, casting it out if it is
marred upon the scrape heap because it is broken and will have to be reworked.
Unless it be unprofitable to be reworked
even unto another likeness of something else more profitable. But as
God's little children who had no defect, but yet defective creatures because we
are and need not be divine in our will. The One and Only Holy God is, and
always is being, the sufficiency of all existence. Incomprehensibly, God with
“unconditional” Love did not think to punish us with His eternal wrath though
we became reprobate and scornful children. As worthless and useless as is the
worst of an enemy. We were rebellious. But Lull, and behold! God our Father,
the God of all our tender and tendered mercies, saw in us the value of His
Holiness " Jesus; thus, we were seen as worthy and salvageable because we are
in likeness the value of His Son. How unfathomable and awesome, when
accepted and believed, is “unmerited favor” that redeemed us at cost, in wisdom,
and by power " the Power of Holiness that Holy Spirit of Power is our God. But
because the Truth, Reality, and Love of God is not perfected in us or by us,
and neither can they be, so God of His Magnanimity spread wide and far out to
all the diversities of life the Light from Holiness. And so we are made to lift
up our mind, heart, and spiritual eyes of our souls that we might see and
realize that we must put down the sin in our hand and move away from it,
forsaking that depravity and dissipation to our souls. By Grace are we under
the veil of the Righteousness that came by Christ Jesus. So, God's “Agape” Love
of Grace says that since we inherently broke, then were found broken
completely, and the more willfully becoming the enemies of God, so loved He us
enough to yet condescended from Heaven to personally save us. Not only did He
come but He came and die for us, hung on a tree by us, those He came to save
(Gal. 3:13). God in His Word - Jesus - thought us worthy to be saved from that
other spatial reality that is set separated apart even, much more the greater
furtherance away, than our own is from the Holy Spatial Reality. And it is
being called hell, but that is just a name the reality of which is too
unfathomable in the sufferings that will be found by the soul(s) therein. God
is! Holiness is! In Him and in Holiness our God Reigns in the Kingdom of
Heaven, the place of rest for tired, worn, and weary soul(s). Our choice is
must be made now " all that hear the Spirit's voice must come now, while it is
still called to-day. The Comforter awaits to with the comfort we need to
persevere until all is finished here on earth. Now, we
are mindful that Holiness conspicuously belongs only and entirely to God Most
High. God is, and He is the One Holiness of Life. We have not holiness, not
even the slightest, neither can we ever. For we are not and will not ever be
Divine in any sense of the word. Divinity - God's Holiness - separates us as of
the void of space and time infinite to us and the angels to cross it is as an
unsearchable, wide, and unfathomably deep canyon would be. Although Holiness be
to us in our essence as an unspanned canyon; it is in and of God, the Being,
the Body, and the Word of Spirit - it is His Contiguous Eminence of immediacy.
It is His Corporeal of Holy and, highly lifted above all accessible or
available criterion, Spirit derived and magnanimous emanations of attributions.
It is the immeasurable width and depth of distinctive and different values and
goals of our lowliness, even slothfulness " in our prayers and fasting - to
seek and find right and good criteria by which to define spiritually derived
attributes versus His exalted Divinity of the criteria (Holiness) in His own
Spirit derived attributes. Which He signifies, personifies, and emanates
outwards even unto us - His Magnanimity. The gaping
vastness of this separation from us which for example I reckoned in distance as
of feet or miles, a canyon is recognized as being impassible. However God's
Holiness that of His Exalted attributions is realized by us in the degree of
difference in His purity of Spirit, His purity of the activities of His Spirit,
and indeed His purity of innocence from any hint of evil or sin, which in God
cannot and does not exist. Again, we realize God's Holiness in the pure
Holiness of “unconditional” love, “agape” love shown to us and, indeed, the
pure Holiness of His justice and judgments, His Righteousness, Glory, and of
course in His being “Alpha and Omega”. Holiness is founded in God's Majestic
that is “above measure” of Benevolence to us. The
magnitude and amplitude in beauty, valuation, function, and facilitation of the
Holy attributions by God, His mind-boggling, mind-blowing and infinitely
disproportionate degree and manner to use the quantity and the quality of the
attributes truth, love, justice, mercy, … etc., to our shamefully humanly
negligible and near wholly neglected exercising of the all these attributions.
Our manner is to meagerly and beggarly use them to get what we selfish desire
and want. And this procrastination in the use of our gifts, a painful enough
realization when we are honest and humble to admit of it, can be the exact
sharp chisel to refine, redefine and regenerate our hardened and rock solid
heart and mind. The very stone cloak that drapes upon our soul which is mired
in the mud and clay of earthly clamors. Truly the
application of Holiness upon the internal and eternal attributes of God is
being of God's Divine Essence, intrinsic of His Immutable Holy Will. The
attributes of Truth, Love, Justice, Righteousness, …, these do not hinder God
in His will or acts, not as they do hinder humanity because we are not able to
purely perform them. For we are ourselves the impurities of selfishness and
self-centered fear that infect their wholesomeness, and our rightly dividing
them unto God and one another. When we were in our infancy found innocence and,
then and there, true and pure in our God-given attributes, it was not long
before the truth of our inability to possess them, use them, and hold to them
was starkly revealed in our transgression. Notwithstanding the angels in their
lack of the purity of Holiness and, therefore, in their infidelity to the
spiritual attributes transgressed their marvelous estate. This clearly pointing
out the invariable and inevitable fact that none are endowed with “Holiness,”
only God of Himself is found to be the pureness of Holiness. Our God sit alone
in Holiness. God is Indivisible, not divide as we and the angels are found to
be - in and of ourselves, our lone will and acts. God is “Contiguity” of Being,
Word, and Spirit in Holiness. The Holiness of God in Word, Wisdom, Will and
Spirit is never discordant. Our life, word, will, acts, and therefore our souls
are so grounded and steeped in unholy ways that we ourselves, in pursuit of the
unholy angels I suppose, are still using the same picks and shovels that were
used long long ago to start digging our infinite chasm of separation from God.
Of our lone will and earnest desire we cannot span this chasm, neither would
we, or are we, able to enter to transgress Inviolable Holiness of God. Not by
science, logic, or accident, yet, if we put the excavating tools down that are
hurting us, then somehow - by providence I guess - we slip, fall, in the hole
and hurt ourselves. Thus in our prayers of forgiveness the God of Holiness
deigns to come and exalts our prayers of forgiveness, and He crosses over to
heal us and be with us, forever. We are
absolutely and utterly hindered from crossing over “into” the very body of
God's Holiness. In fact, if not for God, His Word, and His Spirit we would
never have known the divide exists. Not knowing it exists is the same as not
knowing that God is. Consequently, we would and could never come to know and
feel the Presence, the inspirations and intuitions from God allowing us to
sense the divide, to stand in the awe of it. All of these gratuities from God
excite us in that we hear someone of truth, reality, love, and unlimited power
is calling our name from afar. God revealed Himself and His Holiness that
separate us that" we should in the light of our dissipation in helplessness and
hopelessness (sin and the death from sin), in the light of our honest and
humiliating doubt(s) in faith, come to Him in prayers, petitions and
supplications, in praises and songs of worship to be renew and reborn (John
3:3-9). We could never have fathomed Holiness in the flesh and carnal ways of
our mind and heart. Jesus told us all things about the Father and the Holy
Spirit dwelling on earth with us. Which comforts us with the comfort of the
truth of Jesus' words and teachings and signs. He Whom God sent, He is able to
and can save us. We now
know Him for sure because we know His Love in Holiness and the Son. The Divine
Love in Holiness which does not cut us off or blind us to its truth; in the
human sense that a thing cuts off the access of the heart for something it
loves, or which blinds the eyes to the sight of something long to be seen
because of its extreme size or too brilliant light that stops up the eyes of
the heart. Like a wall might do because of its enormously great height, width,
and depth speaks of impassibility, or as a laser of light because of it degree
of heat and intensity of light blinds one from looking. But because of God's
Holy magnanimity we are inspired, guided, directed, and lead by Love and Truth
and Holiness to Justice which He tempers by Grace. And, Grace ushers us to Holy
Forgiveness and Mercy. Thus, Mercy leads a contrite and penitent heart to
healing repentance, and to the washing, renewing, and reconciliation that
begins our spiritual regeneration by the Holy Spirit of God (John 3:3). Which
does make us clean that we worship in the Spirit and in Truth. Therefore, just
as our Lord did in His time on earth and with us, so now does the Comforter
having taken off our ghastly and filthy garments of the world to wash our whole
body of being, or mind, our heart, our soul in Holy Light, and so invigorating
our failing “mustard” seed of faith in the power and strength from God and
Jesus. Through the Holy Ghost residing on earth. We find that where we were
unable to see or perceive, neither bow before Holiness; we are now even able to
walk and with are head highly illuminated by Holiness' Light shining brightly
upon us and the Holy ground that is sanctified and consecrated. That very same
Holy ground of the Mountain Top of God where Abraham offered and Moses
received. Where Jesus transfigured in the presence of His disciples. Even where
Abraham, Moses, and Isaiah were seen by the Apostles, even where they found
themselves to be in the very Presence of Holiness, in the presence of the
Father and the Word of Holiness, Jesus the Son. No, we are
not cutoff by God's Holiness " it is true we cannot touch it directly or
physically, even as the “dead” cannot touch the “Living,” and, as no one man
should look upon as to covet and touch as to lay with another man's wife, or
steal his ox, goat, cloak, coat … etc. To each God has given his own. God's
Holiness is His own. It is not mind, neither mean to fit me, nor can it belongs
or be possessed of another. Do I covet? Am I taken away by fornication in
idolatry and sin? Do I covet and hope to usurp God's Throne, sitting on it as
if it is my own? Holiness is “Divine,” and there is but one God, one Holy Son,
and one Holy Spirit - “I am,” and I am not Him. We are not God, nor are we as
gods, neither ought we to try and exalt ourselves in our own measure of what
holiness is, for sure it is not us, look around, the facts of us speak for them
selves. “Pride goes on before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). First came pride to Adam and Eve, and then
surely came fear and both robbed us of our beginning innocent nature, and
conviction and eviction of both us and the angel, us from the “Garden
Paradise”, and it from the Kingdom of Heaven and too out of the Garden Paradise
Garden. Thank God for the Grace that bears us, and not the angels. How Blessed
and Loved are we of God and the Word. So that I can feel and hear Holiness ...
Hush! “Someone is calling my name.” Have we
not read in Scripture that the angels could only take the coals, “burning” and
“live” coals, out of the fire on the altar before God with tongs. These coals
“burning” and “live,” yet were not being “consumed” only “burning” upon the
altar and very much a “live.” The coals having life, and living in that Holy
fire which kindles eternally upon the altar in God's Kingdom, a fire that never
needs to be rekindled, over and over. But is an Eternal flame upon the Altar of
God, blazing of Holy fire. These coals were only lifted by tongs and by these
angels, not ever without their tongs could they grasp the coals. With all their
mighty spiritual strength they touch the coals upon the tongue of “that”
prophet (John 1:21) of God, a spiritual son directly willed and called of God,
being summoned beforehand of God and, yet, earthly born of the biological union
of a man and a woman. In other words God willed for and called for “that”
prophet; calling him by name even before that prophet was in his mother's womb.
Even, before that prophet was the will and desire of a man and a woman. And
that prophet was touched upon his lips with the living, burning coal. The
prophet of God, the man of God, the servant of God, a son truly of God's
Spirit. Surely, a prophet, a man touch upon his lips with the coal, even as
Abraham was not, yet assuredly a prophet; hence a possessor of the faith of
Abraham, and Abraham's lips surely touched by God's Holiness. Therefore both be
heirs through the promise to one, swore by the oath of God, upon the seed, and
the truth of God's promise, by an oath, carried upon the tongue of prophecy by
the other. All the sons born directly through the promise along with their sons
and, more than likely, even their daughters - some were prophetess. And why
not? Are they not in their blood lineage and spirit lineage touched. And being
in that human sense as was Mary but not used bodily as Mary that she should be
called the Mother of God, yet they were as Martha, Mary's cousin, who bore
“that” prophet called and name John by God Himself. I am not a
prophet, hardly a man in the order of good men, spiritual, gentlemen, meek, and
humble peacemakers of the world, and I am not in the strict sense of the word "
a religious, especially as it applies to dogmas and tenets of discipleship in Christ,
a “Christian.” Yet I do desire within my soul to be commended by God, the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. How wonderful and marvelous I think are the
many of that “abiding faith” in their Hebraic inheritance through Abraham and
the “promise” to Him by God. The “promise” being the surety (God having sworn
by Himself) for and unto their “abiding faith.” That “abiding faith” is now
offered unto us also. For the “promise” now fulfilled is being our self-same
inheritance of the visible and powerful Messianic-Christian Truth: the
knowledge, understanding, and wisdom from Christ Jesus. How blessed are we
through all those many holy prophets, prophetess, and as we now refer to them "
saints, martyrs, apostles, disciples, apologist, and evangelist that have come
and that now " today - do walk amongst us, I admire them and their strength,
faith and courage, through faithfulness to Jesus. The number of the faithful
are great as a whole, of this I am sure. Yet in light of how many lost souls
who have come and gone in the history of humanity, in that light the number of
faithful members of the body of Christ are in comparison negligible. “Many are
called but few are chosen,” and the “few” are, as Jesus admonished us, “they
that persevere to the end” until His return in Glory from Heaven, in a little
while He shall return. But “the life of man upon the earth is a warfare, the
many do not persevere. ”I am
hopefully, prayerfully and, more importantly, in all human and spiritual
honesty and willingness not wishing to be lost amongst those that were and are
now lost. Some of the children of God are revealed in power by the Holy Ghost-
as was the Lord God's own Son. Others amongst us either at home or abroad, not
desirous or wanting of worldly nor any selfish spiritual consolation but only
praying to be providentially use of God: they are only wanting to be saved by
Him, and their works done in humility attesting to their faith " by Holy Grace.
And unbeknownst to us or at times not felt of themselves, yet their life was or
is a reality of that Grace. Their charitableness either unnoticed or unseen by
their covering of meekness hidden under their blessing of humility. But their
faith and their manner of life and living betrays them to be as “that” prophet
or prophetess of God, a child of God's will, not man's. “And by their fruit
shall we know them that they are truly the children of the Most High God. For
even as those prophets of old, and those of today, live and speak the word and
the will of God and it comes to pass, so shall we know them and their words.
And our own mind and heart is settled in our good conscience which trust in
God. Nothing that is unseen because of the darkness of light or the darkness of
a life shall be kept secret, and, nothing that is seen because of the Light of
light or the light of a life shall be hidden.” I am of
the mind but not obstinately and arrogantly so. For as the title of these pages
admit that these pages are but my own “confident conjecture;” as I am but an
earthen clay vessel, and too not devout at all. But I hope and pray to be meet
for the Master's use. I am though convinced and convicted to believe that the
“burning” and “live” coals are even being as Holy, pure, proxy agent ordained
and established by the “Holy One” to be as a stand-in for His sovereign
“contiguity” of essence, residing in a place without the Inviolability of
Holiness. And therefore they sit on the other side of the curtain of
impenetrable Holiness of the Godhead, so that the angel would not be consumed
in any presumption or insolence to enter the “untouchable” Holiness. The Altar
and the Fire thereof and the coals sitting there on reign untouchable by any.
The coals sit “all-seeing” upon the Altar of God that is burning with an
“all-consuming” Holy Fire. The coals burn with the intensity and power and
sanctity of consecrating Light, Life, and Might of the Fullness of God: The
Eternal “Contiguity” of God, and these are the proxy of the Godhead "
untouchable. And so it
was with these coals that only by the command of the Godhead could they be
touched at all. And, only then the angels in all their holy spiritual strength
would with the tongs grasp and remove the coal from off the Altar of God and
carry this proxy agent which possessed the entirety of the power of the essence
of “Untouchable' Holiness and Glory that shuts tight the eyes of all, save the
coal's “all-seeing” eyes that is toward and resting upon the Throne of the
Holiness of the Father and the Son. Who is the Centering bright brilliancy of
Holiness. With tongs the coal, the Holiest of Proxies for the Godhead
Spirituality, was touched upon the prophet's lips and with its threefold Power
and Glory and Holiness, which is given only to the coal - God's Holy Proxy. And
the Father and the Son remains seated in Power and Glory on the Throne in the
center of the Glorious enveloping Holiness surrounding Them. I am going
to postulate that from all this spiritual exertion and deliberation in heaven,
is as of a thing being firstly worked out in heaven by God, the mediation of
holy angels before the Throne, who are also to do their part in the heavenly
work and then their earthly work on God's behest. Then providentially, for it
was to be God's Prophetic Revelation for us. Thus the revelation was being
God's will for us of the earth. God summoned the spirit of “that” prophet to
heaven that he should be a soulful witness and the soulful means of witnessing
to us of a truth done in heaven for our sake beforehand. Preaching in and of
truth, the truth that God is, and that His Word and the Power thereof is that
by which a man is able and obliged to speak of eternal truth. God's Truth, and
also created truth. The man, “that” prophet, speaking on earth unheard truths,
humanly unfathomable truths, and spiritually discerned truth " wherefore Jesus
said, “God must be worshiped in spirit and in truth.” The Prophet telling of
theses truth he had witness and that were explained to him in his spirit while
in heaven. Truth which would happen in God's time, and truth which did happen
at the exact time God said it would. Even in that time the prophet had
beforehand told the people when he said that God said, “say to the people …,”
and that the prophet told the people ... to look and see God's Word and Will
come to pass. This was
also Divine testimony, God testifying on the behalf of and, powerfully, in
truth that “that” prophet was His instrument sent by Him, the anointed of God.
The powerful and undeniable truth was that the prophet's prophetic revelation
that he said he had received of God did manifest physical and spiritual truth
on the earth. Because they were first truth worked and completed by God in
Heaven. That is how the people knew of a surety that God had touched the lips
of “that” prophet. Thereby, God was commanding and admonishing the people to
hear him who speaks the commandments of the “Living” God. And the truth seen in
the prophet's words edified the the prophet himself and the people. The prophet
speaking of future truth as if already having seen there fulfillment, which of
a truth he had seen in his spirit that was summoned before God and all the
“Heavenly Host.” That these truth should be as “first” fruits from heaven
graciously bestowed to the people of the earth, all those of faith, being the
specific human inheritance of God. Through the prophet, the man of God, God's
fore-knowledge given unto him, actually God's preordained Will for us, was His
gift of Himself by Word and Spirit to us. But some men could not and would not
believe even hear the voice of God nor perceive with their human eyes the
demonstrations of the power of the Word or the powerful Spirit revealed,
visible acts done in their sight, becoming in themselves witnesses against
themselves. Awe-struck by hearing and seeing at the first but only to be in the
next moment reprobate in their minds and
hearts, wanting to see more signs and wonders that they could not
believe because of the hardness of their heart and mind. In the same moment or
the very next, and I am as guilty of this grievous sin as well, we boldly boast
with our lips, and of our carnal will, how much we love God. Of a truth our
“actions speak louder and weighed heavier of our soul's true spiritual nature
than our words ever will. “As it is
done in heaven, so let it be done on the earth.” Let us take the example of the
angels and the coals and the prophets lips touched with the coal by the angel.
The scenario take place in heaven and was finished in heaven, and then to be
fulfilled on earth by the prophet's revelation, the revelation's truth
fulfilled, and the prophet's will and life gave glory and honor to God. Truly,
Holy words off the purged and purified lips of man " lips that had been touched
by the finger, the “coal,” of God Himself. This signified and signifies
prophetic revelation worked out, first in heaven and now in earth, of the
coming of our salvation by a “Begotten” man, prophet, son. A mere man who is to
be and now was being even as we are - of our own essence: Jesus Christ. He came
announcing the truth of the things firstly worked out and done in heaven
substantiating and verifying the Immutable Truth - our created truth that was
to become for our sake the holy truth on earth. In fact that this is what God
want us to be mindful of " the undeniable evidence of His Word " Jesus the son
of man on earth and Jesus the Son of God in Heaven. It should have been easy
for those who in Jesus' day seen the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit; you
would think it easy for them to believe in the sight of such power acts of the
Spirit. That same Spirit Jesus told the pharisee and scribes to heed if they
could not or would not listen to and believe his testimony, His word. They
could not fathom neither were they hopeful in hope that He was and is that very
Word of God Himself - the “Begotten” son. Again, this signifies how in the very
face of the Word's and the Spirit's Truth revealing in man, through man, to
man; yet men still transgress against
God's Word just as he did in the very beginning, at the very time and
coming of Jesus " the Word incarnate, and even worse today than ever before.
The Word of God's is not believed nor given any accreditation for being God
sent to us " Emmanuel. It is the
truth of death [sin] in us when we do not hold sovereign the authority of the
Spirit we hear speaking in our heart's ear for hearing Him. How can we say we
love Holy Scriptures, the written and verified record of the Prophecies of God,
believed of the holy men of old? And yet despise the Son verily the incarnate
Word sent from heaven " Jesus. Who was confirmed by mighty signs and works done
in heaven and done on the earth by the Holy Spirit being witness by angels and
faithful men held in great esteem by us. Do we call the Spirit that loved us,
the angels who minister and watch over us, and these dear faithful family, loved-ones,
and friends liars? We demonstrate our insolence if we do. and we are nigh unto
being found contemptuous in God's Holy Court, and before a multitude of the
heavenly host. It is better for us to have a millstone tied around our neck and
be cast into the sea, rather than to find ourselves bound over for hell's fire.
It is a horrible unforgivable sin unto eternal death and condemnation to
blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Who instills life and truth in us; therefore, it has
instilled life and truth in every man, woman, and child; also it is the Holy
Spirit of God Who established the angels in their estate. We must believe the
Spirit of God concerning the Truth of God and His Anointed Son. As Jesus said,
“do not grieve the Holy Spirit” and in another place in the Bible it says that
the Spirit groans within us and is jealous for us, but in another place Jesus
and the Holy Spirit asked “which of God's prophets Jerusalem have you not
killed.” Man is always blaspheming, desecrating, or is of a reprobate mind and will trying to change the
Immutable Word of God. So set in man is this failing that man does not and
cannot know, understand, nor fathom the Wisdom of God that makes him a son, the
very splitting image and likeness of the Word from God Himself " Jesus spirit
and Jesus the man. What does
all this rebellious nature of man resemble? A fallen angel? That man's mouth is
as life and death. Yet we do not know and cannot understand, nor does it seems
at times that we are paying any attention to ourselves or to what we are doing.
Our behavior does not bother us because we are paying it no attention in any
spiritual sense. In the spirit is life, the flesh is as death. And we are focus
on nothing but the flesh and what pleases it. If we would, more profoundly, if
we could take an honest account of ourselves we might see the naked truth
starkly revealed and, guilty and ashamed, as Adam and Eve were, we too
distraught and sadden by the faults of our will and acts, we might become
willing to imitate Christ in faith and
spirit. Even slightly, just to try and conceive and perceive the goodness and
kindness of a loving God and Father. That we might forsake all this hurting we
do one another, then turn to God and hear the Word of the Lord in our own ears. Never can
we or will we discern truth in the Word as long as we cannot discern that we
are that Word of Truth by God's will. His will that created us by a Word. We
are that life of spirit that comes from the Word of God's own Being. Then and
now, we are the material subject matter of the Spirit of God, we are the
referents of Holy Prophecy. It was then but is even more so now of a most
utterly urgent degree that we accept Grace today, for we are closer to the end
of the age. The
prophecy in the Bible is sometimes difficult to discern because God supposed it
to be allegorical in genre, and, so, in the presentation of truth it is written
in such a way that it is hard if not altogether impossible to be decipher by
the unbelieving and therefore the faithful “doubter” of Holy Scriptures'
integrity of truth. But nevertheless it keeps us " the believers and faithful
seeker " trusting, to search, searching again and again through Scriptures.
Furthermore and nevertheless, this searching is profitable to lead us, guide
us, direct us, and then gain for us holy, solid verified evidence and truth for
our life and soul's benefit. In the Bible I see that there is an explicit
truth, perhaps others see its undeniable implication also, concerning the human
children of God. This truth may be as plain to others as it is to me, or, it
may be missed or just unnoticed by some possibly too subtle in proof of fact to
them. But this visible truth I see and feel is always caught my the corner of
my eye and stabs me like a knife in my side. And it forces me into duress that
I should believe its fundamental soundness to truth, and it impels me to lay
hold of it. Let me say here that I do not hold well to gnosticism or follow
arrogantly my own prideful thinking and surmising. What I do is try to look at
what the whole of Scripture admonishes and teaches on every given subject or
topic, and with prayer one can be lead to believe what others might consider
remiss. Hopefully not being so remiss myself that they would proclaim that what
I believe is abominable heresy. I believe God's Truth is not ever too subtle,
but that it is verifiable for those who diligently seek truth in the Spirit, in
worship, and in the hope of being in the faithful service of love and truth,
bringing forth good works born of the faith and courage found in God. To all
that read the Bible and know that it heralds God's overwhelming abundance of
Holy Love, God's endless and untiring long-suffering patient, and His unfailing
manifold compassion and mercy to us, then they cannot help but to see the the
same evidence which convinces me of this truth. It is not only in my reading of
the Bible that I see, feel, hear, touch, smell, taste, and sense with all that
be of my human body this truth, but that it is of my mind, heart, strength, and
soul that loves God and I been served and granted this truth by God, by His
evidential love that I wholeheartedly believe: First of
all, irrefutably, we know and understand that the Holy Word of God from out His
mouth and off His tongue (I am speaking figuratively and for comparison, for
God is a Spirit) is Holy Spirit of Truth, and it is the fullness of Wisdom.
Never has an untrue Thought or Word ever entered God's mind or came from His
mouth and off His tongue, nor has an unfulfillable truth departed off His lips
(the Word of God never goes forth in vain and never returns unfulfilled).
Neither is there ever with God a “half-truth.” God will not let a lie stand at
all, nor will God let the liar lay his head down in rest or peace at all. The
lie will be utterly struck down and the liar eternally condemned: Second,
from their very earliest beginning both the man and his wife, along with the
serpent, broke with the Truth of God's Word. The man and woman directly
disobeyed His Word and the serpent's deliberate and ill devised calumny in the
mind of man caused him to doubt the spiritual gift (the commandment by Grace
and of Truth) that was given him to safeguard and to ensure his godly life. The
gift of life and love the serpent fooled them into abandoning and to exchanging
it for the lie in his mouth. The lie which had been cast in sin then spewed off
of his sinfully blackened and wickedly deceitful tongue. Furthermore, the lie
they accepted instead brought them the knowledge of good and evil, life and
death, of which knowledge they knew not and so were innocent, but their lost
naivety returned the curse of death upon them. For his vile iniquity, the
serpent received the curse of eternal condemnation and eternal death, rightful
punishment for the “death” welding lie from sin departed off his tongue.
Grievously, the man and woman who had received the Word of Life and Spirit and
Love directly from His lips exchanged so great a blessing for a curse, not as
of the curse of eternal condemnation and death but with the curse of death from
sin imputed upon their life. They became liable to a heart and mind now filled
with the knowledge of good and evil, life and death of which they were not made
to discern, and so the power of sin laid upon them and began to sting them with
the knowledge of guilt, shame, fear, and death sin's powerful devices of
suffering unto death. They were no longer innocent as in the first days of
their life of Grace: Each
litigant is opposed to Grace because of selfish and self-centered reasons and
desires born of sin's temptation. The mind and heart moved by sinful thoughts,
evil affections, and willful consent boasted of by an uncontrollable tongue.
The man and the woman who were in the Garden of God both became involuntary
victims and then voluntary participants, the first by the serpent's lie and the
second by their own choose to believe the lie and then hide behind the lie as
if was a good excuse " theirs' was the commission of sin and the omission of
sin. When the lie [sin] was believed, trusted, and held onto by their mind,
will, and desire, then did the power of sin and the lie infect their nature and
reigned in their boastful and disorderly tongue. And it is that infection which
did proliferate and spread the infectious life of that first lie. By the serpent
and the man sin became exceedingly sinful and did manifest and multiply all
manner of unlawful acts of sin, and, so, the one lie went forth into the world
to become an innumerable multitude of lies and forms of lies, deceit,
dissimulation, and dissension in the world as it lives in and upon the sinful
and deceitful nature of the tongue of the serpent, of the demons, and of men,
women and children: However
the serpent is not of Grace, but found to be a litigant of it because of the
lie on its tongue; the angel is now it whom has become and forever is being the
perpetrator and father of the lie. Also in his being the first to tell a lie,
he is the first convert of sin " by the power of sin which had been dormant
only waiting to spring to life by the power of his inherently deceitful tongue.
So sin was of a truth found to be already present in him. When with the first
word uttered out of his mouth his tongue fashioned a lie from and filled with
sin. And then all manner of sin was found in him and he became disposed to sin.
For his tongue and his being were under the power of sin from his earliest
beginning. The serpent was spiritual proof and the truth of the power of sin
born in subordinate life which cannot ever be of a divine nature. The tongue of
subordinate life is the springboard of sin and it does speaks boasting of
nothing but sin, for it is surely the truth and life of sin. The tongue is an
unruly evil of itself which no man can contain (James 3:1-8): Consequentially,
God revoked the man's blessed state of innocence; therefore making him liable
to his truly natural, and now no longer spiritually guided nature by the
providential security of God, but only now directed alone by his innate and
carnally minded appetite and principles. His fail under the deceitfulness of
sin and the sinful nature of his will and his tongue (life and death is in the
power of the tongue). The power innate of sin is death. Sin gain its being and
power from within the inevitability of formed and created life's inability of a
truth to be perfect. Because they are not truly divine of themselves. The
tenets invariably within Grace are life and love, righteousness and good work,
and eternal foundation for life that of the angels, humanity, and perhaps even
the animals. Hence, the commandment established by God's Word and Will, called
and formed, founded upon His Grace, when it was violated and broken sin came in
the power of lawlessness that leads to death. In the breaking of the
commandment's truth and the violation and disrespect for Grace's precious
gifts; first the serpent and then the man " by way of the serpent's lie, who
having set in his will to renege against God and His Truth. This is evident
because the serpent being an angelic form of life knew of Truth and he knew of
the Grace. The Grace to humanity that was so beautiful. Which the angel
perceived to be more precious and glorious than his own God-given beauty. For
Scripture tell us he was among angels most beautiful. Wherefore in him there
was manifested, drawn out, and revealed the nature and power of sin that was
over and above his own nature and will. Although his essence and nature was
that of spirit, yet he still fell under the power of sin unto more sin, and
eternal condemnation and death. By the same token, for we are mere flesh from
dirt with a developing spirit nature " our soul, likewise sin does lay in us
and lies waiting to manifest, draws out, and reveals its power over and above
our own nature and will; hence again the power of sin also leads then forcibly
drag us to death. The inevitability that the power of sin possesses power
stronger that the natural will (God is super-nature in Whom sin does not exist)
of formed or created life; by the commandment of Grace, truth and love to
humanity he became covetous, envious and jealous, because of his own pride
which was revealed) was meant for humanity. With a card of doubt that the angel
willfully played against the woman, and not the man, why only God knows: Thirdly, I
believe, and this is my own “confident conjecture,” that it was because the
woman was being twice displaced from the direct essence of God's Word. The Word
of God first called the man from the dirt of the earth, and then by taking of
his created body of dirt which was then reformed into the flesh, blood, bone,
and soul that is a man's physical and spiritual body of life, human-being; In
this manner and fashion, God brought forth the woman. Consequently, the first
woman is being in her form: flesh from the flesh of the man, who is flesh
directly from dirt, and, the dirt being manifested from nothing by the Word and
Spirit of God. That being, the woman's formation is a direct disposition from
flesh (Adam” rib). Moreover her soul is twice separated from kinship to the
spirit; one separation because she came from the man and second because the man
came from the dirt, so it is that the dirt was being closer to the Word and
Spirit that form it. Dirt [earth] is a direct manifestation by God's direct
commandment upon “nothing.” Commanding “nothing” to bring forth something "
dirt. So the woman is two times susceptible, and likely, to fall into a
spiritual snare. And, the serpent was well aware of her weakness of spirit;
since he is the more powerful, wiser, and wilier in spiritual perspicacity
situations and circumstances, especially more powerful and wiser than our mere
physical perspicacity. The woman was twice as far away in her degree of
spiritual distance or separation " “spiritual proximity,” faith which was not
operative yet because God performed all the miracles of the Garden in the man's
sight, he did not need faith for he had his evidence by sight. Again, it can be
said that"as far as her soul's spiritual connection is concerned, she was only
half [½] as connected in comparison to the man's one, [½] plus [½], closeness
to Jesus, the Word of God: So it was
that the serpent's truth (angelic, the truth of its very life which it must and
did manifest). That angel is the spiritual truth of the real and true
possibility of sin in a created world. However God is Holy above mere truth and
Truth; God is the One Who governs the life and body of Truth, and also the
disposition of every manifested bodily truth of angels and men. Specifically by
Him, in Him, of Him, and for Him Whom Being is He Who substantiates and
fulfills Truth; albeit, His Being is Holy and is therefore absolutely pure,
perfect, and perfecting in the Perfection of Holy Truth's reality and function.
The mere dictations and representations of the parts of whole truth He does and
wills always to display gratuitously to all. But God does not need of Himself
or for His purpose to use sin's many diverse and lawless deeds evidence of the
truth of wicked transgressions of righteousness and goodness; God needs not and
neither does He even feigns at all to touch evil and sin in order to achieve
His Will, His righteous and good purpose, not in heaven or on earth. In
contrast, the serpent " sin's first, vilest, and blinded servant; it was
through him, by him, and by the lie sin overcame him with that he did within
the woman's lowliness intrigue her (tricked) her with the lie to eat and then
give to the man to eat; completing and beginning their infection with sin and
the lie which gain humanity “doubt” and the progressively fatal and
proliferating life-form and its powerful being that profited them a curse of
death in life: The
Righteousness and Power of Divine commandment established then called forth to
manifest everything that is being, called forth before the formed and created
existence and the formed (angels) and created [fleshy] existence of life was of
necessity. For, first of all, it had to be God's Will. It is the Truth of the
Word and Spirit of God then willed, then spoken, and then setting and fitting
all things in Truth. Thereby it is become true dimension, dominion, and
principality, the foundation established for the creation and the formed,
created, and other subordinate life-forms. Lovingly and gratuitously, both the
angels and humanity having been given the gift of a will that is free and
liable to truth (though seemingly to me because of our lowliness it is a
totally nothing but a liability). This fact remains true and it is the eternal
truth of Holy God Most High that"sin was not. The fourth
supposition in addition and supporting my belief is that along these lines: It
is specifically by the tongue, the member of the body speaking forth the will
and therefore the word (words of will are spirits) that directs, guides, and
leads us to life or to death. The specific and intended words of an angel or a
human-being absolutely and solely belong to them, just as God's Word is His and
it is His own “Begotten” Word, His perfect, intentional spoken Will. The man
and the serpent while they were yet in the Garden of God seeing, doing, and
being in the very midst of God and the Garden's magnificent beauty, a paradise
surrounding them, still they acquiesced to sin. Thus how great was and is the
power of sin, even in the midst of good, to overwhelm them; how easily it
deceived their own indigenous will. Sin taking in its hold their freed will,
and so too their very words for its [sin] own inordinate, lawless purpose. The
angel speaking through the serpent's tongue powered by sin and disposed by sin
to do its will cause the angel to depart from its providentially beautiful
estate; again, sin within the man's will and his tongue and over-ruling them
caused him to forsake and therefore lose his providential blessing of
innocence. And both were forced out of the Garden of God. Through an inherent
weakness to the power of sin our will, word, and lack of control over the
tongue, the unruly member of our body, which is somehow, only God knows for
sure, mysteriously and spiritually susceptible to sin. An inherited default of
our imperfection for we are not divine. So it is that the whole nature and
therefore the will and tongue of fallen angels is to sin. And, the nature,
will, and tongue of humans, we tend to most times knowingly and willfully,
sometimes by coercion, but of us human-beings the fact is that spiritually,
truthfully, unwittingly and involuntarily our mind, heart, body and soul are
always prone to fall under the powerful evil influences of the spirit called
sin. We can hear and know sin's direct power and manifestation itself very much
more so in and by the tongue of formed and created life if and when we are
truly being conscious of God and His Will for us. This is not to say that we
will of ourselves ever humanly be rid of sin and the deeds that go with it.
Only God can do that perfectly for us. But the tongue is the proverbial “loose
lips that sinks ships;” also, it is deadlier than that “loose cannon” we all
fear and loathe, and whose errant aim might be upon us. That every
angel's and every person's tongue which speaks is first heard in their own
head, and, then by others, so how is it that we love to boast above measure of
lies and untruth. Do we not hear our own selves? The tongue is ever boastful
beyond the measure of its possessor, and its true perspectives. Humility is
seldom found in the boasting tongue. It has a natural, instinctive tendency for
wanting to “stand-out” and “show-off.” For that is the life, the power and the
will of sin living within it. Sin has to be seen, heard, and known, for it is
the truth of things that are not divine in nature; in other words, it is of our
truth, and our truth in being formed and created life. Sin is intrinsically
attached to creation. Oh! But for Holy Grace that came before us. The Love that
awaited us and that beforehand paid the cost, displayed the charity, and
exerted itself to redeem us from sin, and our own personal sin. By God, by His
Word of Wisdom, and by the Power of His Holy Spirit “cost was paid, wisdom
displayed, and power exerted” which lovingly, powerfully and awesomely "
Gracefully " removed out of the way the imperfection attached to us " created
weakness. The sin that wages a spiritual warfare against the flesh and the
spirit, our very soul. The flesh is death, but the gift of the spirit within us
is the life and also the truth within us. How lowly in despair does the soul's
voice, our spiritual tongue, go ignored, unnoticed and unheeded. Again,
however, due to our carnal nature and its love for itself (pride of life) and
love for the world, therefore the intrinsic sin of creation that is of our
created nature has a natural ability and, more importantly, a definite and
powerful spiritual ability to blind us and then move us to do its will instead
of our own. Because of our attachment to the creation, to the earth, to the
dirt, to the flesh, and if it were not for God and Grace our carnal nature
would have been our demise, our conviction to an eternity trapped in sin " as
of a punishment. God had no intention of wrath toward us, only love. That is
Grace. Truthfully, and pitifully on our part, our free-will seemingly
pronounces a death sentence upon us. But that is, as I said, only “seemingly.”
God's presupposition of our freed will is from the Wisdom of the Council of
God's Will that assigned Grace to us " prepositionally. The innate
ability of sin that was to come is powerfully exercised out of our way when we
are upon the path, that is, we are living, being, and walking in, of, and on
the path of “truth, light and the way.” Accordingly, by Him Who had
providentially ordained and sanctified our predisposition in Grace, thus very
wisely, pitiably and loving, by the payment of the infinite value of Grace, by
that cover-charge prepaid by Grace, and by Divine commandments set before us
that were spiritually attached upon our formed and created life we were bound
to Grace and therefore by Grace to Truth. We are liable to Grace and Truth;
thus are we saved by Grace and Truth, and in Grace and Truth the Holy Spirit
saves us from sin and condemnation when we agree in our soul with it. God could
have made us robots and kept us perfectly from sin in that manner. God can make
all things perfect if He had so desired " of this I am sure. But God has done
according to His Word and Will, to His Holy Spirit, and to His Holiness. Divine
commandments were given for our life and, rules and guides, for our up-bringing
they are the boundary between life and death we so desperately needed then and
now. “None are righteous no not one.” Grace has justified the sinner, not sin
for sin is death if we continue to abide in it. Besides,
sin is the prideful and influential tempter which darkens our tongue, which
directs, and which orchestrates the voice of the tongue in interludes of sin
and evil. The tongue of Adam we see had the uncanny capacity from his earliest
beginning to name every beast of the field which God made, also it possessed a
liveliness to boast of Eve, of her name, and of her disposition in life,
according to his own life. Did not Eve speak boastfully to the serpent of the
things (he already knew) which God told to her and the man in confidence? Then
there was Cain and Abel, yet Abel boasting was in God's blessing to him of that
which God had given him, not with his tongue, but he honored God with the first
fruits of his stock. Yet Abel's only brother Cain boastfully declares, “ am I
my brother's keeper;” because sin hiding in the darkness of his heart and
setting the lie in his tongue sought after him, and he did in sin withhold the
offering of his very first fruits of increase from God. But he kept them for
himself being under influence and temptation of sin, so that he brought to God
a defiled offering. All the while, the serpent, the “liar” gloried in Cain's
deceit which he thought he had hidden"from God! So it is that he was found in
league with the lie, and with the father of the lie. In another place we hear
Lamech, the descendent of Cain, boasting to his wives of his murder of a man,
and then even boasting of the just judgments due the man who would takes the
life of another. How can it be that all the wicked boasting and surmising of
man does not come of sin, evil, and lawlessness? Now my
point is this, I need not to go any more further pointing out all the
multitudes of examples through-out Holy Scriptures of man's servile state to
sin and of his “evil” boasting from sin and of sin. The truth is: that because
God is He Who does “turns evil to good” by the Invincible might of His Spirit,
and God's Wisdom is such that it does always reveal His Holy Truth, and that
which is just, right and good. The God of Holiness and Glory and Grace has not
failed to turn even the first beginnings of sin to good; even that of the
unholy angels spiritual commitments to sin; their vile, vain and evil
oppositions to all that is holy, good and right. God has snatched out of the
way their sin and God has made good all that they have proposed for evil; in
their speaking and doing evil, it has been their very own announcement and
reward of evil upon their own head. Their contrary and opposing nature in will
and deeds against Holiness, good and right, was the cause for their immediate
and eternal expulsion from heaven. Similarly will our ignorant, foolish and
shameful agreement with sin and with the beautiful, yet vile and deceptive, unholy
angel cost us the lost of God's Eternal Kingdom. We will be justly found like
that angel, whose malignity was spiritual commitment to pride. Therefore was
its expulsion from heaven justified, for the power of sin had drove the angel
to forsake and depart from its first beginning holy estate in heaven. However
Grace is our “Defense Councilor,” and so God's love and pity called His Son,
His Word, to be our defense against spiritual prosecutions cast upon us by sin.
Because God knew us, He made us, we were but of the dirt of the earth, clay
vessel in lowliness and weakness, having the “breathe of life” coursing through
our body of flesh, but we were naive in the spirituality of our soul nature,
being only as of innocent children " even to young to be unaware of good or
evil " in our soul. Consequently we were easy prey, the helpless victims of the
foolish wisdom and wicked wiles of the unholy angel whose pride had set him in
opposition to us. Albeit, we know that he was already in opposition to God, despising
all that is holy, good and right. In the
beginning though carnal and mortal, as yet our morality was innocent and our
mortality might have been inexhaustible, yet born wholly naive in our spiritual
mind of the wisdom of the spirit [Fullness of Life] within us. As for our
purely human needs " we had no wants " for God's direct intervention and the
blessed state of the Garden supplied us with abundance, so that all we had to
do was toil, we did not have to do any really hard work, the Garden soil produce
of itself even watered itself. With our whole life based and filled by our sole
looking and dependence upon God " our will was absolutely free even of a true
and real integrity of gained trust, trust in God and God's trust in us. This
was the magnificent and awesome blessings of our beginning. This freedom though
glorious and wonderful in itself and secure in the love of God for us, betrays
any truth of our real love and trust of God, Who had already proven His Love
and therefore His ability to be trusted. This confine us not God from the
realization of the real truth of love and trust. God would have to grant us a
freed will if he were to make us accountable to Grace and Truth. Else, we we
would have to be eternally protected from sin by God. Does God lack confidence
in Himself to save us from sin? As I said God foreknew of sin. Did God fear
that we would wholly as a species, every single human, fall as did the more
power angel did fall to sin? God had not protected the angels from sin, and
they were closer to Him then us. There was no war in heaven only the casting
out of the angels who left their estate, not knowing the Power of God to
destroy them utterly, yet Hr did not. Not because He could not, but that they
should be an example for us of the punishment due the ungodly. But God is the
Holy One of Love and Wisdom; He is the
God of All-Truth, Almighty in Spirit, Word and Wisdom. For us to be absent of
true love and trust given to God of our own freed will is to admit that God is
in bondage to sin. Is anything further from truth than that blasphemous notion? Divinely
is even the weakness of our spirit and our flesh turn to our good, for God
shall save the poor in spirit and uphold the contrite of heart, so it is that
all sin save one the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is forgivable. Of all
the others, God converts them " by Grace and Love " to have been, or to be, for
the good. That sin and our own sins might lead us to repentance and mercy.
Whether evil comes by sin's power to move angels or to move human-beings in
their foolish will, or if it moves them to strangle themselves by their unruly,
ill-speaking, prideful and boastful tongue. which boasts of sin's life and
power. Although the power and deeds of sin are real and horrific, those who sin
and are filled with sin, and too fooled by sin, God has taken mind of their
“abomination of desolation.” sinful tongue of man has been duped by the
invincible and incomprehensible Wisdom and foreknowledge of God more
effectively, though unintentionally and inadvertently, provided more proof by
the opportunities it has allowed God to
The Word of God is itself the Immutability of the Wisdom of God. Sensing
in myself that the angels are fully aware of this immutable fact of God's Word,
it deems me to believe that man's mouth of exaggeratedly boasting and
pathetically wailing-out is his God given benediction in the sight of the
angels " the holy and the unholy. Man will cry out to God in an instance when
he is overwhelmed, either by sin or even his own sins that the God of all
tender mercy and compassion might again and again, as always save his
“buttocks.” For man well knows though his buttocks has to be on fire before he
is reproved of this"that the Lord's Mercy leads him to repentance and
forgiveness, hopefully but man needs to know that God is not mocked and that a
man shall reap what he sows. The simplest, applicable and, yet, most
provocative way for God to admonish us and edify in us His Holy revelations of
Himself and His Wisdom " so as to save us his most rebellious, wayward and,
truly, his weakest, frailest and fragilest children, without scaring us to
death with His own Being or that of the angels or the demons is through the
human presentation, “Preaching.” We know the Preacher we have talked of him
earlier: he is “that” prophet of God, called from before the womb. God's Life
and the Word of Spirit is sacred ground, and ground not haphazardly trampled
over. In the Holy Scriptures Paul gives some of the best description and lesson
of the Preacher, of being “that' prophet, of being a Bishop or a Deacon or
Deaconess. humanly delivered to
hard of hearing human-being, not hard of hearing truly we are just so easily
frightened. For the things of flesh do know best the ways and manners of flesh.
This seems a simple, self-evident conclusion not at all hard to grasp or
profound and enlightening. Besides I already stated that the Bible is protected
and safeguarded by God Himself, by His spiritual ministers of fire " the
angels. So to attempt to explicitly lay out all the suppositions is possible
through scriptures. I am though not adequate in myself of discernment of all of
its eternal spiritual wisdom and not often enough receiving or receivable of it
allegorically put axioms. I will leave for anon the any attempt, which allows
me the occasion for needed and necessary prayer time. For surely no man,
especially me in the truth of myself and my failings and shortcomings, can ever
or will ever understand fully all the Greatness of the Wisdom of God, by which
He made all things and ordered all things in Heaven, and on the earth. But, for
an example: the man in the created likeness and the image of God by His Word
and His Spirit, and also to an even greater degree the created man is in even
still more the likeness to the image of the Son, God's only “Begotten” Son
incarnated to the man's image [flesh]. Jesus, who is the very Spoken Word of
God as to His Birthright of Holy Spirit, and, Jesus much more the likeness of
the man than is the Father, as to His human birthright. So was cost paid,
wisdom displayed, and power exerted by the Father's Council and Might to
manifest His Word - Spirit - with the human body of flesh of the man. The man
who is, and was, but dirt of the earth, and by the “breathe of Life” [Spirit of
God] became a living soul. Before the “beginning” the Father did with the two
essences that of the Spirit and that of the dirt of the earth intermingle them
and incarnated Jesus' fullness into the earthly body. Not create but incarnate
by Spirit [Word] and within the Power of Spirit and Word God [Holiness] grasped
onto and mingled into the ingredients of the dirt. Dirt became a new thing -
human flesh and blood, this new body was not being touched [liken to the coals]
not even by tongs or angels or anything for the body of Jesus' flesh was then
as the Holiness of Spirit emblazoning with Holy Fire, yet not consumed by the
Flame of Holiness. Jesus moved as He willed in heaven. And He sits on His
Throne: till his enemies be made a footstool, and till every knee bows and
every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. It was in its formation Holiness for
that being and that body was Jesus. It was living and breathing of life by the
Spirit that was even before and up till then substantiating not only the dirt
of earth, even earth and the creation itself, and that is God Himself. It was
that Spirit which was then and is now giving to and sustaining within the flesh
[ours today] the “breath of the life”. For Jesus is that “breathe of Life:”
being that He is the “breathe” and the “Life” of the Father's Word which he had
“Begotten” then spoke concerning the
things of His Will. God's Word is Spirit, the exact essence of the God Who
speaks the Word of His Will. The Word is Holiness; since it is God in its
Being, it is absolutely sovereign in its autonomy of authority. That is cost
paid, wisdom displayed, and power exerted by God in His Being, in His Holy
spoken Word, and in His Spirit. It was the mandate from His lone Council of
Will, it was His desire, and it was and is by His Powerful and Sovereign
ability to purpose and to act. And all this -Truth- was in and is the
Immaculate incarnation of Jesus, and the presupposition of Grace as our life -
through Jesus. He is the first and the last, Jesus is our heavenly template
pattern. The Being of the “Begotten” Word that is Spirit mingling together with
the man who was called to be humanity, who is created by God, and who is formed
of the earth which God brought out of “nothing” God gave Jesus His body that
was manifested and born into the earth through the woman's body, And Jesus is
truly God and truly man. As a
matter of Truth, Jesus is equality with God; therefor He is above the angels
formed to His likeness and humanity created in His likeness; however, Jesus yet
found as a man He justifiably and faithfully condescended to humble His Spirit
[Himself] to the likeness of being human life and the likeness of being within
the soul of a man. Therefore was he humbled in humility before the angels;
although, being in the body of man, the Son of God was absolutely Holy. He was
in glory and grace both Spirit and son of man. He was of Himself though bound
in the body of flesh the Word of God, the “Begotten” Son of God, the Lord of
angels, and the Savior of all men, as He declared, “I am come to do my Father's
work,” and He announced, “No man, and neither angel, takes my Life I lay it
down of my own will, and I will lift it up again of my own will.” And, in these
holy works, of the Lord, did Jesus the son of man lift the image of the of man
before angels, and promote the sanctity of man in the Glory of God. So much so
that the man was enabled to, and did, taste of the “burning” and “live” coals
of the altar before God, and still remain, not being completely destroyed and
consumed. So through the truth of the reality that was presupposed in God even
before the beginning, then in anon, it was made to occur in God's time and by
His power, man being made to be as Jesus, and Jesus being made to be like man.
And the man by His mouth cannot bring down or lay low the divinity or sanctity
or holiness of the Word. But to blaspheme the Truth of the Spirit work in my
heart is condemnation and in which there is no forgiveness. Jesus, too
Who is Spirit, was even as the man. And the first man, whom God had breathed the
breathe of life into, who became a spirit in his soul, is too like Jesus. Also,
Jesus Who was in anon flesh and lived, even so as man he lowered himself to be
as nothing and became a soul in the life of his flesh and lived " yet remaining
Holiness in all His essence. It is in the Holy Grace of Jesus (Which speak of
How Jesus suffered in His Spirit and in His humanity which was presupposed, and
is, our propitiation for sin; His Life and death and resurrection was the cost
paid, the wisdom displayed, and the power exerted, and in these acts of His
Will and the Father's Will, in other words, in and by the Holy Spirit our
reconciliation, and redemption, and our salvation was and is the Truth in God
in Christ Jesus. And the Lord know His onw, and no man can called Jesus Lord of
his own will, but truth has come to his mouth, the Holy Spirit has moved that
man to speak the words of truth out of his mouth. And this is whether that man
says he believes or even if that man says he does not believe, for not to believe
is better that believing and not obeying that which our heart knows to be
truth. Man's mouth of words is but his own condemnation in his heart - in light
of the truth - that convicts his heart within his dubious conscious awareness,
his impure conscience, and his endangered developing soul. Amen. Th
Holiness of our Divine mystery in Christ Jesus was not unveiled to angels. But
the Son knows the way of the Spirit of God for He in and of God, His Father.
The Prophet of God, whose lips being touched by the “burning” and “live” coals
off the Altar thereby quickened, inspired, and moved by God spoke of that day,
and wrote of that day in the blessed scrolls of Scriptures that have been
handed down to us. That day has come and now is the day " that Glorious Day of
Divine fulfillment of the Holy Promise of that day " the coming of the Lord,
the “Begotten” Son of God, our gift of Holy Faith by Grace, even God Promise
from before the “Beginning.” And this too of that promise has Jesus' delivered
and given unto us - Comfort, the Holy Comforter, which He Himself from His Holy
mouth, in his very own words, did promise and secure for us the Spirit of
Truth, the Holy Spirit sent by God. All this Jesus did was and is to the Glory
of the Father and His Word. For God said, “I will not give my Glory to
another,” the “Begotten” is not another, but He is surely of the Father's Will.
For He is that Word of the Will of the Father, being of the same essence - One
Holy Spirit. Jesus has
made all thing good, right, and one that all come into agreement in Heaven and
in the earth, in God, the Holiness Who is Truth. He is the Reality of all
reality, even our own. The Lord was the perfect man come by the Father's Will.
He is that Holy man, “Melchizdek,” that blessed Abraham, He is the Holy “Manna”
from heaven for all men, that if they eat of it " even though they be in the
human infirmities of this life and body " are healed and made worthy of Eternal
Life and Love. He also makes the man equally accountable to his sin because he
was also being a man, yet He was and is without sin. Therefore man born in
danger of judgment and eternal condemnation received the promise of grace in
the coming of Jesus - the Lord is our hope. Man in all his perspicacity for
original sin and the sin which came upon him - by his own will, the work of his
own imperfection - not being God Perfection, was deceived therein his
imperfection by the unholy angel. Still through Jesus Who is the Love of the
Father, His very Word proposed, surely presupposed, in the Holiness of the
Spirit of Grace, Jesus' own body and blood shed upon the tree. So Jesus who
came by Grace can spared man from all his wasting away; although man be but
earth and clay, and dwells in the dust of the earth, having died of the
innocence in his beginning body and soul he did at one time possess in the
garden. But now man is become liable to an eternal death by his choice. Even as
did the angel who sin in the garden gained for its self an eternal
condemnation. However not all the angels sinned and are number among the
damned. Likewise, neither did every man sin in the similitude of Adam, yet by
him all humanity is under the curse of eternal damnation through the one man's
sin. At one time we were alive, a “created” holiness, apart from the sin. Thanks be
to God and Jesus Christ that we were first a proposals of Grace and therefore
Life. We were proposed before the beginning to be made perfect and salvageable
by the Holiness of Grace that came before our beginning, and again our
redemption and salvation will be partially by our own choice. But, in the
Holiness of Truth because of the Father's Love for His Word, I am human and so
humanly speaking of spiritual matters of which no man can be sure; it is
seemingly that God has taken up a defense defending the Integrity of the
Holiness of His Word. The Word needs no defending it is the Power of God in and
of itself, but God in defense of the “Risen” Lord and for our human admonition
of Love, as we are the children of men in the flesh but children of God in the
Spirit of Life " God, and, also to the remonstrance of evil and reprobate men
and angel's who only foolishly believed they can usurp the Word of God, the Son
of God, Jesus Christ, our God has taken a direct defense of His Word's
Holiness. God's Love of Jesus is our Grace from Life and Truth for our true
life, and of course it is for our necessity. God's duly intervention on behalf
of the Being and the Name's sake, Jesus and His Holy Name's sake, is understood
in the light of Holy Scriptures. Could we have ever saved ourselves even from
ourselves. We are locked in original sin, willful sin, and in the flesh of our
body till our death of the body. Our bodies naturally decay; at one time, we
were blessed with extremely long periods of life in this body of earthen confinement
for our eternal soul. But through Jesus we can secure for ourselves eternal
life in our soul through trust in His Holy Faith, if, we persevere till the end
of this race, after we have crossed the finish line and won the victory we
shall receive our crowns. But for the wicked who does not discern, nor can he,
that in his worldly rat race, and in his foolish belief that he has at the end
the race won - what victory has he achieved? For he is still at the reward
ceremony still but a rat. He will receives a rats reward. And it will not be
cheddar; it will be death and not life. In our
discerning, are not all these things evidential proof that the angel, nor is
the man, any better off than or worst off then the other for their sin? In the
same clear evidentiary spiritual light are not both their kindred spirits the
Love of God given them and abiding in them? The angel though spiritually
mightier than a man and, if, an angel should be allowed by God to enter into a
stronger man or even a wild beast " angels are spirit and can do that " will
not that man or beast overcome a merely human-being of a man. If allowed to an
angel can powerfully possess an animal's - man or beast - will and body through
its mind, psychologically and physically, and possibly scarring the soul for a
time. But the soul, the spiritual life intrinsic of each man's own life is
still God's sovereign possession. For it is that when the angel leaves the mind
and body of a man he has possessed, the man remains a tenet of Grace. The Word,
the Word of Grace, Jesus Christ, cannot fail so his soul remains still
salvageable. Whether he is willingly obliged or unwillingly obliged to sin and
the devil, if we are willing obliged to sin, then we make ourselves willing
obliged to the influences of evil spirits of the air. He might being obliged or
he might being unobliging remember or not remember words or deeds having been
spoken or done while possessed, still his soul is the sovereign property in
God's final Hand. This tells
us and shows us that our soul might be touched and even seared by the spirits
of the air. And, of course, we are still under the curse of sin in our mortal
bodies, and therefore still having the [our] tendency to sin through our mind
and our heart which are ever susceptible to sin and, indeed, the wiles of these
unholy spirits. For our mind and our flesh which never gets its fill of
temptations and love of the devices of self-gratification, and have gone after
Belial, the Baals, and the Ashtoreths; even running and chasing after the pride
of life and the things of this world food - “a man whole work is for his mouth”
scripture says. And in this modern era, we are the worst off for all our “self”
conceived inventions for comforts and conveniences (God made man good and
upright, but we have sought out many inventions, proverbs ?). Especially, vain
and evil ones. We put our every trust in the modern horses and chariots of
today, that is, in cars, trucks, and jets believing they can never fail to give
us the pride and notoriety we rush around in them to receive of other men, in
this we lavish ourselves and do cherish accolades they bring us. We take pride
our selves in the modern mansions and temples whose exteriors and interiors we
have marvelously and luxuriously designed. Not to speak of our scientific pride
- medical and technological - in ourselves which fill us up in full measure, we
think. to godliness and in our apparent god-likeness, yet there is no need of a
God to explain our reality, not even to save us from building nuclear, chemical,
even conventional bombs meant to destroy one another, our own mothers, fathers,
sisters, and brothers of the earth. All our false hopes in ourselves, the false
temples we build, the sanctuaries in which we worship our of idols, to whom we
give all the praise and worship we can earnestly muster; never tiring of the
evil passions and lusts they spring up in us (“every inclination of man's heart
is to do evil,” Genesis 6:5). And we the “don't haves” sit back in envy and
scorn of the “do haves,” “but the poor (“...the poor in spirit ….” Matthew 5:3)
do have hope and iniquity shut its mouth, Job.” However,
though angels within a beast's or a man's body proves by means of spirituality
that it can exert its superiority of strength psychologically and also
physically over a mere animal - beast or human, yet the man who is in his own
power of his own mind and body, as is proven through out the scriptures, that
man's seldom does not proves his superiority in the boastfulness of his tongue.
In this the man, which God fore-knew to be the case, and which this being a
tenet of God's unsearchable, predestined axiomatic truths of the man, and this
truth of the mightier boastful tongue of man over that of angels, in it God
laid the heavier burden of carrying His Word into the world on the tongue of
man. The great might of the angel is in his spirit; and suit the work of
heavenly concerns, but the great might of the man is in the boasting of his
tongue. Although he be the frailest of the two apex life forms the Most High
God and Christ created and formed and that being from the nothingness outside
of God. And on the
earth there is none more boastful than the man. who is always of a mightier
mind to sin than even are the angels who fell away, yet they flee at the name
of Jesus that comes off their weaker kin " the man. However man does himself
the worst for he is able to curses God in Heaven with his mouth, and then
within the same mouth he blesses God's Holy name. Of all that be of the earth
none proves itself more vile and iniquitous than the man that does this. But we
find none more loved by God. For God
sent His only “begotten” Son to die for the salvation of the man. Jesus, Who
came in the likeness of the man did not think it a tragedy to be found as a
man, neither did he do unto the man what the man sought to do and then done to
him, though he was in all essence the very Word, the Son of God, but He asked
of His own Love for us, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do,”
and we have not learned even today that He is, and that He is come to save us
from sin and condemnation. God from
the beginning had put everything of the earth, His creation, under man's feet.
Jesus was not yet in the body of his flesh in the world at the time of Adam.
But Jesus coming anon in the likeness of Adam having the same earthy burden
laden body to be an earthen vessel of witness of the Father's Glory in Heaven;
Jesus bringing that Glory seen of the Father in heaven with him to be seen and
witnessed of by the humanity on earth. First by the Jews and then by the
gentiles. Jesus Who though in a body of
human being was the very Word of God, and Jesus Who did always - save for that
predetermined time of the Father - reign in the Glory of Holy Spirit on the
Throne of Majesty at the Father's side. Jesus, Word of God and son of man, the
Life that was to us the Light for the mortal life, mind, heart, strength and
soul of man, and, the name of Jesus is the Holy “sweetness” on the tongue of
flesh for the man who loves Him and does His Will. Belief in Jesus, the thought
of His name, brings a Holy “taste” of heavenly manna onto the palate of a man's
soul. Surely we will have tasted of the Holy “Bread,” if in belief and
obedience to the Truth of God our hope, faith, and love is found “living” by diligent
in prayer and study of Holy Scriptures. And these holy blessings from Grace are
unfathomable and unsearchable Divine mystery and the Divine benevolence of
“Agape” Love, the “Unconditional” Love of the Father in Jesus " sent to us. His
Word, Jesus, the bodily [human] manifestation of the Word, the Son, Who is also
the son of man. How unequivocally not reciprocated by us is any cost paid, the
wisdom displayed, and power exerted by us in in our being, our Word, and or
spirit. If only we could with a tad of the willingness we used to take hold of
the things of this world, then our faith in Grace would not be so hard for us
to firmly grasp and hold; thereby going from an unclean thing to a clean thing
so that we could win God's Kingdom. It is God Who made man; thus the man is
made worthy of inexpressible Grace, “unmerited favor.” For we know and
understand that all that is not “contiguous” of Him - only His Word and Spirit
is immediately touching Him. So it is clearly known and understood that"all
else that has been made or formed or created from nothing, is outside of His
“contiguous” Being, and touches Him not. But with God all things in heaven and
in the earth are made possible for us. The places
God formed with creation in mind which unlike the very glances of this moment
are no longer seen as of yesterday which is no longer or yet to be seen as of
tomorrow, and untouched as of the place of hell and the demons or as of the
place of heaven and the holy angels, the forms of these things we will see in
God’s appointed time, desire, or purpose. Exactly when is that time? Surely,
when it has become His will. In a “today” or possibly in a “tomorrow” when our
tomorrow has becomes that final day, the day in which we are no longer alive to
say, “maybe tomorrow” or say anything at all about earthly concerns, on that
day heaven or hell will be our permanent home, for we will have reach the end
of our journey from earth into eternity. Albeit, while we abide here perhaps a
bit of what might seems like both heaven and hell may be experienced on any
given “present” day of our mortal sojourning. But in any one moment, as within
the instance of a moment, within the twinkling of an eye, and then in the
certain inescapable arrest and confinement of eternity " yesterday, today, and
tomorrow will cease to matter at all. Then “Heaven” or “Hell,” and all that
either of them contain those we shall not only perceive, know, see, hear,
smell, touch, and feel but also, therein, we shall experience for the first
time, and forevermore, what it is to be an [our] “eternal” being. There are
also things in creation that God formed which are unseen but in their created
form they have ruled over the nature and disposition not only of our world but over the universe, and they will continue
to have rule over the effective workings of the universe and, therefore, set
one course of the natural, physical universe, but first of all there is God's
effective workings and courses for it. That is, these other body of effects,
will do so for as long as God wills and wants them to go on doing or not doing
what they are doing. Although they are very powerful wonders in themselves
which appear through-out the known universe “movers” and “shakers” of its
present setting, yet they are but created forms come into being by God's Wisdom
and Spirit. God is this universe's Foundation. They are for God and in
accordance to God, for they cannot be practically, nor even seemingly, ever be
compared to Him or even be of semblance to Him, in there entire scope of
possibilities, they are but creative limits with a God-given purpose. Yet,
their created form, in comparison to our bodies and other things in nature that
inherently decay and measure-out, these seemingly boast of infinite and
unfathomable properties. They are but as the ore of gold, silver, and iron or
like the gems of diamonds and rubies that lie in the earth, heavy and weighted
and seemingly of valuable to those that make use of them, but they are “dead
things,” inanimate objects without life, so are these but mere constructs of
the “Living God” of Omnipresence, Omnipotence, and Omniscience Life. They are
not only subjects and objects of His will, but to a certain degree, I suspect
and suppose that these granted as God's gift specifically or indirectly to
us"for all goodly defined, rightly observed, and orderly intended purpose"
these were also to be subjective and objective, mentally manipulative and
physically demonstrative, utilities for use in our daily, divinely ordered, and
specifically designed mental will and physical lives. These
tangible and intangible constructs of God, truly being our antecedents that
preceded us in the Garden of God, and God established them with our spiritual,
mental " intellect and emotions, and physical capacities in mind. They are the
infrastructure that God form and created from nothing, and by these first
primary elemental supports He has filled, girder-ed, and framed our abode the
earth and the heavens, the very physicality of the visible and invisible
universe upon them. and in the created reality including, but not limited to
our intellect and emotions, intuition and inspiration, also the natural
phenomena of physics, biology, anatomy, along with time, dimension, dominion,
principalities which be part physical, mental, and spiritual in nature. All of
our capacity for these go on to be the make up of our existential soul, which
is verily a [my] life-spirit now completely forged of all the sum totals of my
proven peculiar metaphysical essence of being; in short, this made up by my imputable
liability to the truth and to the lie, as witness by the angelic guardian of my
life and soul. Alloyed into my soul's make up is also all the conscious and
subconscious fodder - rigid, habitually ingrained, sins for iniquity, wicked
and evil intellectual and emotional awareness-es that my heart, mind, and
strength reared unto my very own soul, and that is the soul born of this my
body and conscience that did steep it in sin. It must be washed, absolved, and
atoned for in the blood of Christ Jesus that it [I] might see Life, and escape
the pit. All that we have maintained and brought forward with us as we go on to
eternity through the dead of our mortal bodies, the individual personality
traits of good or evil - transitive from this brief but inescapable physical
necessity, these go before us written on and carried on the tablets of my heart
that are now, and having always been being, in the auspices of the Holy Ghost.
An accounting of my souls nurturing and development under my care, at mt table
and by my hands and feet, in my light that shined on it, for it, to guide it
onto right paths, they will be read aloud before all the heavenly host, at my
heavenly child support case. It will be
the time for sitting upon the judgment seat before the Lord. Then my now
conceivable and, yet, imperceptible human soul, this invisible and intangible
reality for the capacity and ability as spirit-being to intercourse and be
inseminated with physically created, natural truths of our capacity, abilities,
and liabilities, brought forth in a divinely mystical fiat of reality, and this
new creature " a human soul " spirited and quickened with the liabilities of
the carnal mind and heart seared onto it, is rightly judged albeit with the
Lord's most holy grace in affect. However the hidden principalities, dominion,
and powers of darkness may
interpreted the finiteness, which can only see and hear and know and
believe finitely, these truths in the creation are as beams of light piercing
through the cloud of darkness which would veil our eyes from the light, but it
can never the block out or dispels the beams intensity of warmth to the heart
that is guided by its calefacient degrees of faith. So are these constructs of
the physical universe, shining as
brightest light from a very distance lighthouse inviting, and as yet
unvisited, hallowed and waiting to be revered, attendant lights piercing a path
to be followed. Neither do we No man know and understand who or by whom, why,
when, where, what, or even how its columns stand or it foundation be
constructed. But we can perceive the Master Builder and Designer through the
facilitation and functionality of the
ever attending beams of renewing, redeeming, and saving light in our life. God's wisdom in the design " natural, physical,
spiritual " of our created reality and the new and yet untested bodies of
fleshy life, carnal and mortal life-beings, being undefined and untried
perspicacity in and to our natural undeniable, unfathomable, phenomena of
communication, its securing realization, is our truest reference for holy
direction; its an unfailing guide, and it is the alluring beacon, the only safe
calling for our floundering vessels. These natural laws or “scientific”
phenomena, as the academies and universities of humanity chooses to call them,
can only hint at the unsearchable and unfathomable perspicacity and wisdom of
an eternal God. These facets of truth are solely applicable to and for the
created truth which God delivered, God gave to us, that they should govern our
[His] created reality. That which
God has made and granted to us is profitable for our use, knowledge,
understanding, and wisdom, so that we might use them practically, creatively,
and prudently to meet our needs; they even provide us with an external strength
to our will that we may construct and enjoy the works, desires, and longings in
this created, physical reality. Our reality in its essence is ever developing,
advancing, and growing dimension and dominion. God established the physics of
the human soul, the elements, and that of time, space, and mass when He
proposed to create a physical world. The Spirit, Life and Truth, spiritual and
physical life-forms, sciences " physics, mathematics, and other natural human tendencies of
intellectual, mental, and emotional and, still, even more importantly,
spiritual phenomena concerning its surroundings in a created universe, these
did not initiate and evolve from any “big bang;” they were designed, created,
and formed"by God. There was no need for a new kind of life"outside of God’s
will for that life, and so it is with Physics, for it is without basis and
meaning in God, having no purpose within God’s essence and being, which is of
pure spirit, holy, unbounded, and eternal dimension and dominion: omnipotence,
omniscience, and omnipresence. God
substantiates things with substance, and He energizes life with the power of
Life - His spirit. The Holy Spirit of God emanated life as of the angels and it formed and created life as
are humans, animals, and creeping and crawling life, even microscopic forms of
life are God designed, created, and formed for their specific purpose and
function. God granted the sovereignty and the autonomy, the extremes and the
limits, the beginning and the ending of every living and non-living thing; He
gives things purpose and gives them dominion and dimension in which to exist
and abide " granting work and gifts to spirits, animals, bacteria and, also, to
the earth, the waters, and the air. God alone stands God’s purpose for life has
and always will be done, even to those oblivious of His will; providentially
ordained purpose for all things, realized or unrealized (Not unrealized by God
of course, but by man. And the angels, well, they can only manifest their
god-assigned truth) is the will of God which keeps the universe, which has kept
the angels, and which is keeping us from extinction. God gives to things,
animate or inanimate, their place, name, definitive, and directive " holy
commandment. The
discreet emanations of Holy Spirit " forms of life - which we call angels, the
servants, administers and directors of God’s Holy Truth come forth from God
bound to that truth for which God formed them: they are portions of eternal
holy truth, even as carnal sin is our portion. Angels perform that base truth
which is defined by God. God is absolutely all truth. An angel’s truth is
immutable because that which binds it - God’s truth - is immutable: Satan’s
truth became known; God knew it, and God for an example to us cast the unclean
thing out of heaven. But in Job chapters one and two Satan comes to present
himself along with the other sons " spirits, truths - of God. God demonstrates
His absolute sovereign reign over truth. Angels show forth and give proof of
the intention for and the purpose of that truth for which God did emanate them. When God
presupposed to form and create the finiteness of things, of angelic beings, of
created beings, and created things, it was according to the council of His
will: His omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresence of being, of word and of
spirit. And therein also, God beforehand designed and defined the dictates and
the purposes of microscopic life, cellular life, and all life processes
including the manner of bacteria, viral or fungi which we might see as
dysfunctional; as well as proteins, DNA-based life, all of life’s procedures
and occurrences began at God’s will. God in His wisdom foreknew and designed
atomic and sub-atomic structures - building blocks " of physical creation.
Together the atomic and genetic mysteries of our existence are cooperatively and
collaterally the ways and means of life-forms and created things. The visible
and the invisible (physically unobservable) reality of the spirit and of
science, in other words, the infinite and finite, the incalculable and
calculable, and so too the heavens and the earth - God created from nothing.
Our terrestrial home, “mother earth”, which sits amid the diversities of the
heavens, God made it to be a habitation for created life. God forged
the bond between the spirit and the created by way of His word - the life of
His Son, by the speaking His word to create and by the incarnation of His word
- the Holy Spirit invested in created things, our human life and soul. In this
manner was God’s cost paid, His wisdom displayed, and His power exerted,
bringing the things which are outside of His holy contiguity into existence. It
is by Grace that God satisfies and sanctifies Holy Truth. We become
aware of God’s Holiness, knowing and understanding the “separating-apartness”
of Divinity from angels and mere mortality, by His revealed will - love. In
God’s time and by the means and way He established - birth and death - we come
to experience God and live in His creation and in His love. Within the body He
has chosen we live and will forevermore have our being: God has given us a body
of temporal flesh and a soul of eternal spirit. Yet God’s purity of being is “Holy” distinct from
all things seen or unseen, thought or believed. God, His divine being, is
without equal quality, quantity, or power. God is Holy distinguished from
angels, they are but the emanations of His Spirit. They are bodily-formed
spiritual factors of the truth which each specifically represent and do
accomplish. They are the administrators of God’s truth in service for created
life and created things, and they define orderliness and lawlessness on earth -
not in the Kingdom of Heaven. Their duty is set and limited by holy purposes. We the created things, the created life, men -
flesh and blood which did not exist, but now is being " we are in truth deliberately
distinguished and totally foreign matter from God, and we, as is seen,
peculiarly separate ourselves instinctively from truth, even from God and His
angels. We are wholly deficient of the Spirit that quickens the angels: Truth.
We are formed incomplete of the full measure of spirit and indeed void of
truth, having only been given the breath of life. All my life, even as a child growing-up, there has
been the influence of the “God idea.” Its beginning affection came by way of
sight and sound; I viewed it and heard it through the deeds and words of
others, those closes to me. People who believed they had my best interest in
mind. They were doing it out of love, even self-interest. They believed the
greater the influence of the ‘God idea” upon my life, then the better I would
be as an individual and the better we together would be as a family. As I grew
older I learned specifically that the “God idea” is the Being, the life, the
teachings, and also the following of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. And this
ideology had been the thinking and following of the society I was born into.
But the “God idea” seems to have been within me before I learn of it from
others. It seems to have been an innate influence which was natural. As a
matter of fact, it seems children in general naturally act as if the “God idea”
is truly their first guiding influence. Enfants and very young children are
good; they are in virtue innocent and beautiful: truthful, loving and
compassionate. If, I would have continue under the sway of the “God idea,”
then, as it is said, “All else would follow: peace, love, respect, and
contentment with trials; at the least, I would have learned that to be
satisfied with what I have earned and to learn from what I had suffered is
wisdom. After all, the whole aim of the “God idea” is to add wisdom to our
lives. That is to say we ought to let “God’s will” be our own. It is God’s
hidden judgment upon me. That is, in a perfect world: the world holding true to
the “God idea” perfectly " they would not. Besides, I
could not have change the way things turned-out. The condition of my life today
is God’s will, and there was no way my life could have been any different, not
even by choice, after all I was granted freewill like everyone else. Yet truth
demands truth. Whether truth that is the “God idea” referenced truth or my own
gut-level honest truth: Truth, like the “God idea’s” influence, will sustain no
conjured-up doubt or falsely believed lie. The “God idea’s” influence is
firstly love - Love of the truth, even within the daily exasperations of our
unfolding life. The “God idea” first of all is love to us. It will not change.
It will neither leave us nor forsake us. The God idea’s influence is its truth,
like or disliked, it is faithful. It is that truth which reveals and surrounds
all that is, and, all that is to come. Today the
referenced concern the “God idea” speaks to me about says, “Sin no more, less a
worst evil come upon you.” It is so with me today, and it has been so with me
all my life. I did not heed it. Backed in a corner with no way to turn, my life
dangling by a thread, and with death " spiritual and otherwise " imminent, the
“God idea” became worth re-examining. That is how “Confidence Conjecture” got
its start and that is how it has grown and, most likely, will continue to grow.
Until one day under the dictates and influences of the “God idea,” I die and it
is finished, hopefully, not in that order, amen. So in my
opinion, this writing " Confident Conjecture, which is based upon the influence
of the “God idea,” is equally established upon truth (the dead gain nothing by
lies) as it is the truth (for fear of the worse of two evils) established by my
experience and choice. It is the Truth of my life weighed in the balances of
the “God-idea’s” influence upon me " and personally believed. As we know, the
greater defines the lesser; in other words, the servant is not greater than his
master. Everyone has their own experience of life and reactions to them, and
they have become their truth, whether they are now dead or alive. The one dead
is without hope for change and the other must become willing to change. And
most times that means pain. Pain is better than death and hopelessness?. It is
better to suffer affliction now than to turn to evil in the end? Well my
experience of life has the color of what others might call prejudice - my
interpretation of the “God idea.” Gently and charitably, with every stroke, the
brushing influence of the “God idea” has revealed the light of truth and the
color of love. Today, although I am influenced considerably by human truths
(right and wrong, faith and fear, heartbreak and triumph), the real truth
is"that I move, have moved, have been being moved and, if the next moment
comes, will again be move by the “God idea” alone. Ever since I was born I have
been, as if pressing against the goads, unavoidably and unerringly prodded by
it. In God we move and breathe and have our being. Whatever man " if it was a
man " that came up with the “God idea,” he could not have been merely a man.
For subsequently, providentially, the thoughts of men alone upon this “God
idea” have been more relevant and influential than the men themselves. Whatever
the case may be in that light of truth, I have an idea about which I hope to
touch upon later, but for now I want to follow along the lines of traditional
and orthodox Christian teachings about certain articles " about all so called
articles - of faith that perplexed me. I was not to be patronized; I loved the
worlds goods and teachings also. As it
was, I was searching God out. His ways are not the world’s ways, and his ways
are difficult " alienating one from the world. They say He"the “God idea”" does
not mind. The “He term bother me intensely, even more so today, but I will
press on anyway. I needed an answer, some kind of assurance. So I asked
myself, “if God is and God can do anything … why would He or, more deeply, why
should God have to purchase creation?” Why did it take"all"of God’s wisdom to
form the creation? Why does it take"all"God’s power to sustain and maintain
creation? Is it because of its contradictions and imperfection? But he made it.
Can god make that which is imperfect? And I say “all” because, scripture says
God is still actively with us. Albeit, in the form of Truth, so they say; the
Holy Ghost, the Comforter, whom Jesus said, would come " is it here? I am not a
biblical scholar. I hold no degree of any kind from any college or university.
By the grace of God " the “God idea” influence? - I was born competent to
learn, and granted a curiosity to investigate. There came upon me a willingness
to take time out to read, study, and question, even synthesize my heart’s
wranglings with the inklings felt from the “God idea” influence. Trying,
unwaveringly, to hold to the idea that love and peace are the branches of the
divining-rod that lead to truth. The God idea’s first conviction upon me was
the notion that one should love all others as he loves himself. That conception
was inescapable from the truth already within me " my own abiding belief was,
and is, and always has been exactly the same. I could never understand why the
whole world, so it seems, never fully sought after this beautiful preposition.
We are not stupid and we are not monsters, are we? So what
happened? God paid for creation and is owed love? He did not give us this life
and love, as to make us indebted to Him did He? Even we humans - all of us -
know that this is not how true love works. So why were we created and in need
of financing (put in human terms)? Because God is perfect and we are not
obedient. Everything emanating from Him is perfect, with the exception of us,
in a literal sense. The wisdom of the “God idea” is the son, the son of man and
the son of God " Jesus. Searched, questioned, and tried, truth must and it does
remain the unshakeable, immutable law of the “God Idea.” That is my rule put
upon it; I am one void of truth, and so this law the God idea cannot break. The
life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is, the only payment I will let God pay.
The God idea says that Jesus is the word formed bodily, rejected " sacrificed
that is - being a man, paying a man’s debt to sin: death, so that the cost of
paid to truth for love would be perfect and perfecting. He paid for love with
the love that has no beginning and no end " His own. For only Divine love can
afford the eternal-love necessary for eternity. Love must remain unchangeable. God is
Truth. God thought that truth, the beauty, the being, and the love, is worth
the cost of an eternal life. That life was the Life of His Word, the life of
His son. Only God could afford the price of an eternal life. It is the
immutable truth of God’s Word that paid for our life, for our love. Godpower of
Spirit life, truth, and love - belongs
to God- are absolute only in God, Holy Spirit, is the power of truth and love.
God is spirit, life and ove is spirit, Love is life, and only the and
onlyfought, and He is, about His will? Why so much doubt about His presence?
Why is God’s wisdom (knowledge, understanding, and ability) to create scorned
and rejected - His majesty and love so maligned? To whom or to what does God
petition, beg, or even quietly solicit, and He does, as to someone or something
of greater power and authority than Himself? What is it or who is it that God
needs to overcome that He might speak His word, exercise and exact His will, or
have His way? Me? No. God is
Life. God is Truth. God is love. God paid the cost, demonstrated the wisdom,
and exerted the power to substantiate creation. God is love. God is the “confidence
in conjecture” about Him. He alone is the supreme evidence of faith. The Lord
God is giving to us, demonstrating amongst us, and fulfilling within us the
grace of love. In His fidelity and integrity of pure truth by which He made us,
which is the way of and the way to peace and rest in eternal life in the
Spirit. God is demonstrating His Paternal love, power, authority, and His
Divine providence toward His own. It is not that God thought to, needed to, desired
to, or even had to flaunt His absolute power and invincible will; neither is it
some - humanly imagined of course - allure to vanity, a debased wanton desire
for vain-glory, as of those humanly concocted so-called “demi-gods” that
guileful philosophers have conjured up in their own vain and reprobate minds of
depravity. The One and the Only God, True God, reveals His
Divine, Eternal Life, and His super nature of Agape Love; God revealing Himself
to us is grace, and that grace bears us, and that grace is granted to us “in
lieu” of our true nature. Grace from Agape Love comes by way of Jesus Christ,
the son, who is the Holy Incarnate Word of God. God’s Holy Word - the exactness of wisdom that He
wills to speaks, which in the power of God’s spirit causes the manifestation
and satisfaction of God’s purpose " its divine immersion within the body and
being of the man Jesus, presupposed before the beginning, did become the son,
and so formed “peculiar” reason for our being: Jesus is “Grace” personified:
and God said, “Let there be ….“ Jesus’ body and life is the Divine intention
and pattern for our created life, since we too born of flesh and blood, and
also of spirit and soul. Jesus is the meritoriously favored One, and He is the
son of God and man that saved us. It was in God’s plan and for humanity‘s sake
that the word fulfill all righteousness. With the truth of the word being
fulfilled by the man Jesus, we become truth (redeemable) and life (eternal)
heirs of God through Jesus. Because He is and was to be spirit and flesh,
therefore, it is our destiny also. It is from within Jesus, God’s Divine, Holy
Purity, and it is for the defense and sanctity of Divine Revelation"the Gospel
of Christ and Holy prophecy"that God reveals Himself. True God above all else
is holding the Son, Jesus, and, these, that is, His Holy Attributes and
Admissions in Eternal Godliness and Holiness. It is not solely or primarily for
our sake God is maintaining His Holiness absolute, immutable, and untouchable: It is because God in His Being is the only
Existence and Expression of that existence, of that perfect and definite Life,
of Unapproachable Glory, and Sanctity of Being, divine, and holy which
substantiates and sustains life and creation. His word was and is Jesus, son of
God. In His office Love is the administrator, heaven and earth is His “Area of
Operation” and the seat for His headquarters. Truth love administers. God’s
truth is perfect love. God consummates the divine contract of love, and it is
bound to truth. We are form subsidiaries of God’s revelation -
Jesus - grace, contracted to its holy writs and held liable. We were the sole
purpose for which grace, the contract of love, was drawn up; our state of grace
was necessitated upon our creation. We alone need it and we alone receive it -
we are its referents not the angels - and only individually can we come into
agreement with it; and, then, willfully assign our very being to it. Or we
become vile litigant(s) of it. We are franchised and licensed living products
of Grace. Godliness is Holiness and, so, the Eternal True
God Most Holy Being, Most Holy Power and Most Holy Wisdom He alone is the Only
Absolute Eternal foundation and source that be Omnipresent, the Only Absolute
Almighty foundation and source that be Omnipotent, and the Only Absolute
All-knowing foundation and source that be Omniscient. Therefore Our God is
being the life, power, and wisdom of our reality for He Himself is the Reality
of all that is real. So it is God Who is being Life, Power, and Wisdom their
reality, truth, holy preserve, and also, God is the Giver of them. They are His
Gratuity of Himself to all that be. God is the truth and reality of all cause
and effect; therefore, God is the reason for the condition and disposition of
all that be. God is the truth and reality of Justice; therefore, God is the
Holy Judge and judgment of good and evil truth. God is the resource and
dispenser of discipline, so being God is the truth and reality of reward and
punishment for us in discipline, or the lack thereof. God is the truth and
reality of Love; hence, God is the reality and truth of all giving and
receiving of Love; so God is the truth
and reality in Charity because He the Lover and Giver of true truth is being God being, and so being, discipline God is. God
being, and so, discipline comesGod be, and so, reward and punishment God
is, right and wrong is, as judging, and
God be Judge. God loves us, leads us and guides us. God is good and in God
there is not evil. God does not need to use unrighteous acts or evil device to
exact His Sovereign Absolute Holy Will. Reward is not above punishment and punishment is
not below reward for these are but disciplinarians. God Himself deems reward to
be good and punishment to be good, even reward to be bad and punishment to be
bad - that which is above all is to hear His voice and do what He says, in that
I find no judgment only agreement. And, there is peace. Where there is no evil
- God may be found. (Had Adam and Eve been able to perfectly heed the
word of God would not our lives and our world be good? It was so in the
beginning, when they were walking and talking with God, seeing God, knowing
God, and listen to His word, His voice, heeding the commandment. Which in
hindsight, we as of those on the outside looking in, seem to have been meant to
protect us from the deficiency and inefficiency of our self-will. The insight
we received from the “tree of knowledge of good and evil” we were not able to,
nor meant to, discern or adjudicate, and the reaction of our will in trying to
discern and judge that which was greater than us became our undoing, or perhaps
providentially, even the very proof of our Divine designed establishment
(blessed contraction) upon grace. Yet all remains, in accord to God’s will?
Things continue just as God wills? More about the inevitable, incomprehensible
truth of our sin-fulfilling history in anon,) Consequentially along these lines people -
Christian and secular alike would beg to differ. And depending, of course, upon
their situation and condition they would find references " truth be told or
not. “God is good,” says the believer. “There might be hope in a god,” says the
non-believer. God receive foundation and support if good has come to them, if
He is good. The successful " believer (being god inspired of course), the
agnostics (afraid of being impertinent), or the atheist (self-made, doubter) -
would cite their frugality and hard work; while the less fortunate might
commiserate and sympathize, bearing in mind their failings " god referenced or
not (atheist). I have thousands of opinions about thousands of
things. For the most part they are errant, vain, ego-driven, prejudiced
(fear-filled and fear-based), self-righteousness, and self-centered judgments
of everything, and everybody. In these scientific and technologically advance
days the moment God, son or holy ghost is hinted at © 2014 kenwillpAuthor's Note
