Proverbs 1; Verses 21-23; Wisdom; Pleading/Begging/Crying Out

Note: Obviously satan does not come with two horns on top of his head literally. The two horns from Revelation 13:11 represent power. Two horns of power representing religion and financial. 1) satan claiming to be Christ/God. 2) One world currency/financial. The other two horns are education and politics. 


(Proverbs 1:21-23) "She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

Luke 7:31-35 cross reference.



Now we're talking about mindlessly going through life asking where God is at. He is there the question is are you going to open up your heart? Letting it all pass by(e) right in front of one's face?

In Pride and stiffed-neck while the nose is stuck up at God, and unknowing. Some say I need to see God, or an "epiphany." The very fact one says that is a cry for help, all while the answers are looking for you. Getting caught up in the flesh, just seeing flesh, finding one's value in the flesh won't get it done by any stretch of that imagination. Finding one's value in the flesh things is serving man, serving the world, serving sin.


(Many times a moment of reflection and then keep on walking. God says inter-meddle. Throw all yourself in. No lukewarm, no hokey-pokey).


(Imagine hearing an ambulance screaming on the way to a man down no one passes by do they? We are that man down before belief/repentance in Christ. Being teachable listening to the doctors instructions after).


(Mark 2:17) "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."


The word sick from the Greek means spiritually sick of course. But even more it means miserably from bad nature (like a bad egg). Whole = as in wholesome, healthy. Man also has many methods beyond this (not even knowing this through philosophy i.e. fixing people). Where is that written? You going to add what God calls healed? Sounds like a scam to me. A revolving door with no answers ever? Got that right. So it is with ANY world philosophy. As it stands you want to be an "intellectual genius." Then it begins with God's wisdom.


22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?


(Simple = Naive/easily persuaded. We're easily persuaded through the things of the world, but not God? This new thing to that new thing? The new fad? Never sticking to anything? Looking for love in the wrong place? Whoever will accept us at the time? That of course, will be done through flattery. Naive indeed. Scorn = brag, mock, talking back/trash mouthing to God and His Word(s). show contempt for God and His Word(s). Contempt always shuts off to listening (what the Holy Spirit says) being resentful. Instead of seeking to understand, the want to be understood all the time. The result will always be reactionary out of anger, not righteous indignation).


Maybe this false preacher to that false preacher? Soothsayers? According to what one wants to hear? Counting it as love. I get to say Jesus without repenting? Being accountable to repent to others when you sin against them?


(Very important here. HATE knowledge. As we have stated it begins with knowledge, then understanding. Putting it together. No one gets it overnight. But the walls of defensiveness and your own military against God must put up the white flag = I surrender).


What we have hear is complete shutdown in the ability to grow through faith at all. Thus emotional intelligence. The ability to feel correctly. Please study Luke 7:31-35 here. Overall being backwards because of not repenting and then making righteous judgment. Christ of course ends it in verse 35: "But wisdom is justified of all her children." The pharisees surely thought they knew some Proverbs. They failed to repent of course. Apply to self first.


23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.


Turn the way you are walking (never read over any Word and look at the context. A complete walk in the opposite direction. Look down at your feet. I have no Gospel shoes on, walking on the path of death. The Holy Spirit here.



How can I put it? Standing outside dumbfounded? Which way do I go? Door one? Door two? This is extremely important. Everyone would say the door to life, how is it few find it?


Because I know people do take a little time to reflect. The WRONG things. We reflect through God's Word and apply to ourselves first.


You ever thought that before and wrongly applied to someone in scorning? But have a problem when God puts it to you? Time to take some responsibility/accountability for your sin. You think this language is tough, wait till the next Proverb. Verses 24 and on.


(Matthew 7:13-14) "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:


14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."


Everyone has seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, everyone loves it. Opening that door to a colorful vivid life. The senses immediately excited and raised. Feeling of warmness and a great sense of well-being.


Let's remember how bratty (stuck up noses, just stuck up and selfish) them kids were as well. Me, me, me. No appreciation. You would not want to be around them?


To the like we should apply that Spiritually. How much more with the love of Christ, and the knowing hope. Not a, "well, I hope so." Knowing because He did it first. Examine properly. If Christ is, and who says He is = the Messiah. Then it's a KNOWING HOPE. In all people's minds. When examined properly with common sense. If not? I could not never pick them for a trial by jury. Unable to weigh the evidence before them. Very irrational indeed.


The analogies overall show a choice to make. Yes, Christ is giving an ultimatum. I know people generally do not like ultimatums. Christ says get over it. or don't and go to the lake of fire. It's up to you. When using Matthew 7:13-14 I'm very careful. What do I mean?


(We have little relation to entering a gate of a walled city. The goal is to get into the walled city and have God's protection, from there having protection from the enemy).


Let's take a look what kind of world this is when one opens the door:


(Ephesians 2:5-10) "Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)


6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:


7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.


8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:


(And you thought the chocolate factory would be a great gift. Willy was being very kind).
Remember, the movie if you want to view paradise through pure imagination?


Referring back to the beginning of the post.


Remember the thief on the cross. You have not sinned enough to outdo God's grace. "Today, you will be with me in paradise." Like him, we have to step to the plate in accountability.


9Not of works, lest any man should boast.


10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

AMEN

Love; Equally Yoked; Applying God's Word; Give it to Get it; Short message

Many look for love in the wrong places. You will never find love without the love of savior and Lord in you (getting over self, true love begins with unselfishness and Christian morals having salvation at repentance as Christ did). To be able to give it first, then give it. Then receive it, then even able to accept receiving it (until then we cannot define or know true love being lost to it). Therefore, this huge disconnect and backwardness.

Concerning unequally yoked: This is hugely unequally yoked as we see. One is putting in, but getting nothing back. The other is incapable of giving it. But demanding it in return. Something they cannot give themselves first being incomplete. So quite playing the game with other people's lives.


Being complete first in Christ able to do the first two commandments through the fruits of the Holy Spirit. One cannot be complete without repentance. Healing there forth, as Christ is the physician. Mark 2:17. "On the grand scale love your neighbor as yourself."


This does not mean self-love, as in self-worship. It means treat them as a whole complete Christian now in what you would do for yourself (do unto others as you would want them done to you, same concept). Very important here. A scripture twister will use that for their own purpose for self-love to be self-worshiped.


Many look for love as feelings based (mixing lust for love, then being taken by flattery). Biblically defined it based on principals/morals, then feelings. Therefore, that is where you begin in your search for love.


What a disconnect in society we have in that vain term thrown around called love. Christ defines it.

AMEN

Proverbs 1; Verses 24-30; Rejecting God; Raising Discernment

(Proverbs 1:24-30) "Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;


(This is wisdom speaking remember. Common sense from God's Word, able to reason things, balance, make righteous judgment beginning with self outwards. Luke 7:31-35. Making righteous judgment = right from wrong according to God's Word. Not judging someone to the lake of fire. To the contrary, the work of the Holy Spirit from someone; John 16:7-11. Belief/repentance, correction Spiritual discipline, faith then works so THEY ARE NOT judged).



Pretty basic. Common sense as well.


Actually, you want to judge someone condemn them by removing their savior and Lord through your belief, thought, actions. Taking away the very foundation of the cross. Hold their sins over their head they repented of being a false accuser. Standing in the courtroom God saying I set this person free. I OBJECT THEY SAY!

25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:


(They could care less about correction. All Scripture is given for).


Notice this from II Timothy 3:16 came after verses 1-9 concerning the perilous times we're in. Lovers of self, self-worship, without naturally affection (reprobate, so deep into themselves they are gone). No one says worship me? So how do you know? What they spend their time on. Their worldview, perspective, their fruits/actions. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.


Of course, they hate God's correction and have their own standards. They correct people according to what they make up. Their correction comes to benefit to how they feel at a certain time. These of course, love listening to sooth-sayers who tickle the ears, when God's Word goes in one ear and out the other.

(II Timothy 3:16-17)

16"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:


17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."


(The failure of this of course makes the cross null and void. Saying we don't need to repent, no sin sacrifice. Thus, no compassion, mercy, forgiveness = love. The positivity soothsayers are not so nice after all? Time to raise discernment. This is the absolute in human cruelty to me to take away the love of savior and Lord from a person).


To Proverbs 1:26,


26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;


(This will be a two-fold thing. How? This is when Christ comes, but wisdom speaking out. It is going to be one of them smile at "self" moments).



27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.


(That is as it is. Christ talked about fear over and over in the end-times. What overcomes it? Complete love. Doing the first two commandments through the fruits of the Holy Spirit). Notice something here. Through the storms of life they don't even respond to God. God uses weather for Spiritual conditions. What they worship, His creation, sun, stars, and moon as well. Everyone likes a "completely" sunny day. Never seeing God in them first (truly enjoying them as well).


Let's also take note they on earth have made things intolerable and unbearable for those who truly Love the Lord, and want to follow their own Father's Word, their own creator. Taking away the love of savior and Lord, the attempt of it by not wanting to follow it.


28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:


(This is too late. They turned their backs first. Not God. To seek early is to find hope right away, hence verse 30. The beginning of things. Like a new day. When Christ comes back on the day of the Lord no place to call a home. Left outside knocking as foolish virgins. They thought they were virgins is the point).


29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:


(Why they made themselves hated enemies of God. Built up their wall of defenses. The word fear is reverence from the Hebrew, meaning respect. Yes, respect of Father to take heed to first even knowledge. Then correction).



30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof."


Counsel = giving purposeful hope through correction. The correct path. No one can blame God, no one can blame satan. God is crying out to answer Him with common sense.


They of course are twisters calling God's correction judging, making them scorners and mockers (using God/Christ as a crutch when convenient, and to justify self, being a lover of self, self-worship.



No they are already condemned is the reason why. It does not sooth their conscience. They want no accountability/responsibility for their own sin. But they want you to take accountability to what they make up!


Many say I want to raise discernment. Can't be done if you do not want to study Proverbs.
Way it is, way it's going to be.

AMEN

Proverbs 20; Verse 5; Hope vs. False Hope; Raising Discernment

Note: Matthew 24:24 is during the great tribulation when satan claims to be Christ/God, and the savior of the world in Jerusalem. The point remains for now as his great influence heightens as we go along.

What an amazing Proverb we have here.


(Proverbs 20:5) "Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding (wise in God's Word) will draw it out."


Counsel giving purposeful hope through God's Word. This is two people working together as a team. We are a talking a well with water here. A well with water has hope. As opposed Biblically, a well without water long on promises/hope, but does not deliver anything. Very disappointing to discouraging. So think "deep" what kind of hope people shovel. Inside it is a false hope? False sense of security (esp. the things of the world giving hope, of the flesh)? Getting real with one's self asking just them questions.


This person has the knowledge with them. The other person helps in helping put it together. This of course, helps both working seamlessly. Hope and flourish here. Joy from within that is deep. An amazing thing God and His Word does



Talk about God's Word together. Don't give up. Dig deep. Like working out the gym digging deep to complete failure (an analogy how hard we go after it with much more emphasis but we can only relate too).


God's WORD can and does break us down the same. He (and other Christians better be) puts it together, building up from there. Encouraging, one has to be able to recognize that of course. Growing in God's Word. I would certainly hope so you can tell a true Christian or not. Or you would not even know what to tell them in the first place.


(Hebrews 4:12-13, God's Word cuts us to pieces, the sword, He brings us back together, heals that heart to mind. This is why Christ always used to cut asunder (to pieces) when He comes back. With His Word. What is He saying? No one escapes. But then is too late. People want God to heal them. It will NEVER happen without this, through belief/repentance changing the heart and mind. The failure of that is to reject God's amazing work on the cross, saying you don't need it).


Or to be quite frank, don't and man can keep cutting you, breaking you down, walking all over you, is it worth it to find self-worth in it? The things of the world trying to please people who could care less as it is? Care nothing about your eternal destination? Your eternal purpose? What is good for us and what is not?


satan's trick of course is to be self-serving thinking you are not serving them, serving him. That is the illusion in distortion of reality satan offers. Oh satan you are chopped liver around me, in Jesus the Christ name.



Moving on,


Both people have that acquired taste through thirst here as water is in the belly. The living water that is Christ.


(John 4:11-15) "The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?


12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?


(Remember, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God always told them He is the God of the living, not the dead. She knew this).


13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:


14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.


15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."


To the direct contrary: false hope, soothsayers, without defining God's Word. Words like hope, change, the truth will set you free with no defining terms in application. An undefined Scripture, twisted with our treasures on earth, will naturally result in owns self will, selfish will in self-serving (not pure of course), not GOD'S WILL. All pure.


(II Peter 2:17-20) "These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.


A tempest is cloudy and dark, a windstorm with the promise of rain but delivers nothing. Like a well without water as Peter gives us both analogies. The darkness they do "deliver" in false hope comes back on them.


18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.


(Case in point. They are twisting God's for the flesh. They will automatically "butcher" verses that are Spiritual and use it to serve the flesh. Automatically done, with no Spiritual Discipline).


The word allure Peter is using as like a net first to draw in (watch the tactics). As He is using simple things of the world He related to do to bring Spiritual truths. He was a "commercial fisherman." As Christ said to Him, "I will make you fishers of men."


What tactics? Emotion based stage shows drawing based on feelings and not true and saving faith for starters. The meat of the Word, prophecy as well. As whatever does not pertain to the cross, salvation, milk is the meat beyond that. Per Hebrews 5 and 6 spells it out great. The meat is what brings discernment and righteously judging.


Everyone likes peaceful fishing on a sunny day as well, everyone likes a "good catch." Everyone can relate.



No one likes to go out gets some bites and no catch. Another promising thing with no delivery. Like that to false hope, thus giving no purpose. Revolving doors.


Overall, satan has fishers of men as well. That is a trap. As false hope is a trap.


(Matthew 4:18-19) "And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.


19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."


To II Peter 2 verse 19,


19While they promise them liberty (the truth will set you free they say), they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.


(That is double the weight on them. because a little bit of knowledge does that. Which is why you see some who don't want God's Word. Blaming others for their sins as it goes from there. So, so, so wrong. The double burden is on them, whether they know it or not. They try and transfer it to others in blame. VERY WRONG)!


Case in point:


(II Peter 2:20) "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning."

AMEN

Proverbs 1; Verses 31-33; God's Protection; Tasty Fruit(s)

Finishing up Proverbs 1. Thank you for taking a look †


(Proverbs 1:31-33) "Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.


They are of course those who reject God's Word and ways, standards. Knowledge, wisdom, understanding. Turned their backs on God's correction, doing so stuck up their noses and become mockers, scorners. This is a decision they made. Of course, they do not fully understand the consequences of it. Seen here, also, satan's oldest trick in the book concerning consequences. You will not die he says. Forget the evil, your good deeds you do for self are sufficient. Exactly, what satan wants one to think. You are quite boring satan, and easy



Matthew 7 here. Remember satan was the tree of knowledge of good and evil with that evil fruit from a corrupt tree, from the very beginning? Just like you don't take in the fruit of false teachers, or anyone for that matter. They are figures of speeches to what first seems good to senses in pleasantness drawing in (looks being a big one) know there are consequences but turn a blind eye, like in the garden of Eden. Surely, garden variety there



(Genesis 3:6) "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."


Remember satan was not a literal talking tree. But another role he played in the garden as he was himself. Christ = The tree of life. Just like Matthew 7 they took in the fruit wholly being deceived. Not literal fruit. Flattery, words, what satan had to dish out.


Eating one's own fruit, a statement to show what fruit one dishes out comes right back on them.
Where else can I read satan was himself in the role of the tree?


(Ezekiel 31:8-9) "The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.


9I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him."


To even understand Scripture we have to understand satan's names/roles. Christ roles first and foremost to understand satan's roles. Shown to give us characteristics of course. Just like in life we have many roles.


To Proverbs 1:32,


32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.


(Now check this out. The simple we have been through. They are easily persuaded just like the garden of Eden, but now seen from this fad to that fad. This belief to that belief, this philosophy to that philosophy to suit their needs, purpose, flesh, at that given time. Never on solid ground, and ground with Gospel shoes on as well. But all these world philosophies are the same in comparison to Christianity. How is that? God in the flesh never came in any them, paid the price for you for free to give eternal life. They all require you do something to be accepted. Showing the distinct difference in the love of God, and man's fallacies in illusion through satan what can be made up in vain in a chase of love distorted to flesh that can never be reached. In that way, consider love the carrot on the stick. While Christ has already given the carrot and we refuse to eat. Like little babies pushing it away.
Time to get healthy.


You see when you have to do something to be accepted you never know how much, no guidelines. Just look at a relationship you been in. Always looking for that acceptance but never knowing. False hope, false security. So are false gods in idolatry of the flesh and flesh serving, co dependent. But this codependency is a figment of the imagination, but is really happening. And that is satan's tricks seen in the garden. Because he is a liar. A mirage maker. A complete fraud. Long on promise, no delivery (those who follow him do the same). Jesus = my deliver/savior Christ/Messiah = the anointed one).
God calls that mindless. Wanderers with no purpose, no hope. Remember they have turned their back on counsel here = Hope with purpose. They have false hope just as satan gives as well, seen in the garden. NO Consequences come with it. The very fact one does feel guilty and shame deep down are the condemning consequences.


Prosperity of fools = Seeing physical gain in the name of God so it deceives others. Thinking it is auto Godly. They are very simple. No thought but money and the flesh, serving it. The consequences never really taken thought. the consequences not even thought of while they are chasing. Because that is how hungry the flesh is in this world, without the Holy Spirit.


Slay in the sense of being murdered Spiritually by the sword, the very word of God does it. They shall fall by the edge of the sword. Yes, you need to be picking that sword up, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.


Remember after the fall? Genesis 3:22? Christ in the garden of Eden with the swinging sword? No access to it, as Christ is the word of God. Because God prophesies in Genesis 3:15 our way out, and the cross, the crucifixion to then for us to have access to the tree of life and it's fruit, filling the fruit of our ways through Christ. Hope, purpose, satisfaction, contentment in life while we're here, able to live that and be truly thankful. Not complainers of things, murmurs, and the misery associated.


33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet (be at peace) from fear of evil.


No noises, fear is buried (cast to ground just like satan, and buried. Make no funeral service for it either.



With that protection/security/great sense of well-being' confidence through faith being under Christ and that tree of life; Hebrews 2:14-15, now from there learning His ways in sincerity. Complete love (commandment one, commandment two, hence the fruits of the Holy Spirit there forth).casts our fear, thus bitterness beginning at the forgiveness of sins = Compassion; mercy; forgiveness = love.


Beginning at the cross and complete surrender not fighting the LORD no more. Surrender of our bitter walls of defensiveness against Him.


You want to be fruity-licious.


Let's therefore conclude if it was one's self in the garden of Eden and you serve the flesh, worship the flesh, self. satan has already talked you into it?


Don't we all say no Eve, Adam, don't go for it? Like watching a train wreck, but after the fact?


Now speak to yourself, see yourself.

Matthew 25; Verses 14-30; Relationship; Trust

Can you imagine getting a high paying job and not showing up? No call, no show. Letting them down, and yourself, they cannot trust you, the person cannot trust themselves, how can they be trusted with anyone else? Feeling it deep inside, no sense of accomplishment, well being? No sense of accomplishment in getting it done?


Moreover, ever had a co-worker, "no call, no show"? How do you feel? Causing more work?
Likewise and exceedingly more with the LORD as He is in charge. This is why we're given the analogies in the parable(s).


Can He trust you?


Talent = A large sum of money. God is trusting with here. For Giving Heavenly riches, God's truth.
God knows. The human heart and mind when it comes to the satisfaction in trying your best. Trying your best for Him, in production of advancing His Kingdom. "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." This of course daily, as in the Lord's prayer. Daily striving for that. Therefore doing what is in the Lord's prayer daily one can only be sustaining life, through growing.


(Matthew 25:14-30) "For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.


15And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.


16Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.


17And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.


18But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.


They are burying it and hiding it from people. Creating their own God, "mine, mine, mine." They have made themselves above God, the creator of that very own earth they are digging on top of it. Covering it with dirt!


This is not a pretty sight! Did they check/call with God before they dug? Destruction of private property, malicious destruction of property, robbery, wanting to get paid doing nothing. It is just piling up.


There is no playing "finders keepers" with God.


19After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.


20And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.


21His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.


(Something to be very proud of. Pride in doing a good job for the LORD).


22He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.


23His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.


(Pride and doing a good job for the LORD).


24Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:


(Dealing with fear of rejection here. Everyone can relate).


25And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.


Fear did it. Not even stepping out in faith. Fear of man of course. They buried what God gave 6 feet under, not even a proper burial. How rude is that? No manners. After all they own the place? The world/earth revolving around them.


26His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:


(Laziness and procrastination. We'll get around to it the next day. No no no. It never works like that. A spark produces a fire. Spark plug sets them engines on all full cylinders."


(Let's light a fire under our butts, lol. Okay, but let's get moving. Everyone knows that saying).


27Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.


(God is saying He gives on credit. He wants a return. Everyone can relate paying interest).


(This also shows be happy and satisfied with what He does give, and don't look to others and envy and be jealous).


28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.


29For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.


30And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."


(No call, no show. Many are called, few are chosen. Because they chose incorrectly and unwisely).


Therefore, them talents He gives let's put to good use the "talent" He gives. AMEN.

Proverbs 2; Verses 8-13; God's Protection; Raising Discernment

(Proverbs 2:8-13) 8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth (keep guard, protect) the way of his saints (set aside/sanctified).


The paths of judgment. Meaning right from wrong, hence protecting on that path. (now some would say who are to judge? True Christians never ask that nonsense. If you been saved from the depths of hell in living in and dying in sin. As they say, "don't get it twisted." True Christians want to be corrected according to God's Word.


Which down in verse 12, froward, that is exactly what it means. Twisted and perverse.


To verse 9,


9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.


(Remember, the subject from the previous study is about going for them hidden treasures of the world through lust of the flesh. Hence, stopping that path and beginning the true path. Then we will see you can begin to make righteous judgment. Not judging by the things one has made their own God. Which begins with serving-self as one's own god. Therefore, stopping at nothing and selling out because of judging wrong, no fairness. No doubt, Solomon dealt with the mentality, "life isn't fair." No complaining if you are a contributor).


When one judges by the things of the world to what they serve it is an automatic abomination to God. This of course, double standards. Maybe triple if there is 3 people here for a pyramid scheme.


(Proverbs 17:15-16) "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.


(Complete backwards. What a bloody mess? Because of the own heart, blood on their hands).
So it was for Christ what He took to have salvation and repentance from this horror show.


16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it"?


To verse 10,


10When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;


(Here is why. The mentality, and no heart. Let it penetrate, sink in. Digging deep as one would them treasures. Would not many keep digging even if them treasures were 666 feet deep? To the inner core of the earth if someone told them there was a treasure there. Likewise, the blood, sweat, and tears you put into Learn God's Word and ways).


This is a great self-check. Is God's Word, learning His ways more pleasant than things of the world? If the answer is no, then that should tell you what you need. But continue to struggle, why? Heart issue.


11Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:


(We're doing just that, discretion. Discretion here means plans of hope. No hope in them things of the world before God. Understanding the resulting actions, cause and effect in what would have one go back to the ways of the world. Now the world's "whooping boy", in heart and mind).


12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;


(To stay off that "beaten" path. The blows of the world. That is why Christ took the blows/stripes, flogging for us taking it for us as punishment.


13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness."


(To the ways of the world they go. Forsaking God, and of course saying my faith is struggling).

AMEN

Matthew 13; Verse 44; (Parable; Worth/Self-Worth; Treasure in the Field Part I)

Continuing on in the awesome chapter of Matthew 13, verse 44 here. (Treasure in the field Part I).

Hidden in the field once again. That is why it is imperative to learn and understand the parables. Christ is teaching us what would be hidden, so it is not for us. Everyone can relate. As you put up your earthly treasures up for safe-keeping. The value we put on them (we know these examples from Matthew 6 especially).


But more, Christ showing this because these are things (hidden treasure we will never find is the point) we put our self-worth before salvation. As a result the want to be respected because of riches. Judging things by them. Judging people by them. Which condemns the just, and finds the innocent guilty. So we see the resulting factors of why the love of money is the root of all evil. Loving anything of the world first, of the flesh this the automatic effect. Moreover, if by any means one is serving man, then looking for man to make complete/whole is where we find our self-worth automatically as a result. Exactly why this teaching from Christ.

Christ using this illustration to show how far He went for us and the worth He finds in us, thus in response our self-worth found in the Lord. In turn gaining self-respect for ourselves, (then the ability to have it for others). In the Bible this is called honor. All things begin with belief/repentance. This why humility comes before honor as well.

Many say respect (esteem or admire) is earned. That is a faulty statement in itself Biblically. In the sense that agape love is to have respect in that God created all people. Now beyond that, yes respect is earned. But this is important to differentiate for our faith, how we feel, how we view the world.

Overall, the parable is to show you are worth it. You are worth every bit of His blood, sweat, and tears, literally and figuratively.

Lastly, to find a treasure in a field it would be buried. Christ also giving us this illustration in how deep He dug for us. Therefore, we dig in response. Of course, once we do that we are no longer ditch-diggers to others i.e. the blind leading the blind.



Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 13:44) "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

What's it like in Heaven? How does God operate? What does He think of His creation? Individually?

Treasure = How much He values you (His view on you, and your self-worth). Other Christians should be doing the same.

(Our Father though Christ is searching for people. Joy to sell all He had? As Christ was our ransom in serving us-ward. "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him.

The field = The land of the world. As we inherit ALL things once we give up this chase, and abide in Christ, thus the rest. Are you tired out? Finding no long-lasting value in the world, only to please people, but you find no self-worth in them? they find no worth in return? Exactly, that is the way of the world. Except with the LORD and better be with other Christians.



(Isaiah 53:10) "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."

The true exchange (not like the NY stock exchange, nothing hidden in this sense): His life that you may have life (Ransom, paid the price for redeeming). We cannot buy salvation. In other words, do right to be accepted by God. No, matter of fact we do wrong (in ignorance) coming to belief/repentance accepted by God, then do right on account of that.

(Matthew 20:28) "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."


Remember, we went over in Matthew 6:24-35. The Christians self-worth in believing. Where we lay up our treasures first as well. Christ was showing the exact same here. The worth of the physical things that will be gone, but you the Christian believer will not be gone. Matthew 5:5, "blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth."

Reference in 4 verses for all the above from Ephesians 2:7-10,

7"That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

(Taste of Heaven, the senses in knowing. We appreciate that as well. Before salvation with no reality on this. As Christianity is a relationship, not a religion based on our works. No, our complete brokenness before God, and dependency upon Him there forth. Who can get past commandment one? Commandment is worshiping His creation over Him, or equaling it. Love of money a biggie).

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

(Grace = unmerited favor in kindness. He did not have to do it. It is not only a gift, but THE GIFT).

9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(They cannot brag how good they are in front of the Lord, I did this for you, I did that for you. Just like other Christians don't do exercise the same over others. The pharisees a great example in being masters at that).

10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

(Amazing? His works for your works in this sense. Meaning by faith the works will also come, true faith. Walk in them, where we travel. Where we go. This is not a one and done, but a part of you. Working for the LORD through Christ. Look at this word created. As in a new creation in Christ, the old person is gone. Living a new life, changes in them senses spiritually. Remember, working? Working for the world? Christ said come rest? The goal is that we do it but yet it feel effortless, not being one-sided. Cannot be done unless we break bondage first). 

God's amazing plan of salvation. Which I consider all the power of the Lord and a huge miracle. One sinner saved beginning in spiritual heart "surgery" to the mind, them senses; vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Soul = You/Yourself. Your own Spirit = The intellect of your soul.


Therefore, we conclude self-worth and confidence begins with faith and through faith and feelings should result accordingly to how God feels. Being accepted by the Lord. Who can come between that? No, they should be on the same team. However, I want to point out we are to share that treasure (hence works/working). Meaning, it's not only your God, but the same God as brethren, and others who would and will be saved.

AMEN †

Proverbs 18; Verse 1; Burning Desire/Raising Discernment

(Proverbs 18:1) "Through desire (longing of one's heart) a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom."


(first desire, sincerity from the heart. This is important as people go to God's Word, a motive check. This is of course separating one's self from the world in heart and mind, to the spiritual and leaving the flesh first. This must be pointed out as well. Some go to God's Word not understanding what is happening at the time. I know I been there. But that is also an important part as God reveals things. You read it, then experience it. This also helps build to faith beginning with a mustard seed, able to see clearer and clearer having no obstacles in your way (mountains).

Make no mistake, building faith comes with confirmation with studying it, then experiencing it i.e. living it.


Intermeddleth = Throwing one's self right in there, shall we see you are now working for internal affairs? Okay a little joke, but the point remains. Moreover, this word is to expose one's self, with the implication that being of the light, and no longer darkness.


Hence,


(Matthew 10:26-27) "Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered (hidden), that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.


27What I tell you in darkness (the world), that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops."


Ears to hear first. What He said specific to the 7 Churches. What and who are we listening to? What Spirit? Test the Spirits my friends.


(Someone once said the greatest ideas are formed in dark places. How true is that with God's Word. Christ is of course also giving the command to share it. Being a watchmen here. This is Matthew 10 of course. Matthew 10 you get both of Christ' comings. To the Disciples specific, and the end-times generation. Because of the importance of them two generations).


AMEN

Luke 10; Verses 25-29; Truly Doing the First Two Commandments

(Luke 10:25-29) "And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?


26He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?


In other words, how do you interpret it? I want to make a big point here. If some were asked this question today the self-justification would come even before this man. How? Not willing to give any answer. You see many read the stories, but don't know the meaning. Therefore, the application. Many say I want to raise my discernment. To stuck up to even have God question them. Seen through His Word of course.

27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.


(Never read over God's order; Heart where it begins. Open heart saying I'm a teachable, "like a little child." Soul has to be next = simply one's self. Strength as in force here, digging deep from the prior two: heart and soul. The mind, and what follows always of course works. Naturally, as a result, the second commandment).


Obviously, any other way is to be in idolatry. As the Bible makes it simple. Comparative religion here: You either love the LORD or HIS creation/flesh above Him. No in between.


28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.


29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour"?


Very important here:


How was He justifying himself? You see many say, "God, God, Jesus, Jesus", creating their own God in their mind, never opening the heart doing the second commandment because the first is in vain.
Just as this man, Had He truly loved the Lord He would of done the last 5 commandments towards people wrapped in one here (break one, break them all, this is why). Of course, to even simplify more we follow the first commandment we will keep the rest, by not being in idolatry, the things of the world/flesh first over the Lord. Which Christ' commandments beginning in chapter 5 always came from the heart first, the motives.


Easy peasy lemon squeezie.


Amen ,♥

Proverbs 23; Verses 24-25; Honor thy Father and Mother

(Proverbs 23:24-25) "The father of the righteous (doing right) shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him."


25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice."


This does not mean they are a Christian (the parents). This means they respect it and don't have to worry about their kid. High morals and ethics on account of being a Christian bringing no shame. Of course, wisdom is as a Christian for many should bring a higher worldly/street smarts (being in and of the world) as some have been there and know how the world operates all to well, and now the spiritual, the Holy Spiritual. Honoring their father and mother, in the sense of giving birth and following the LORD.

Christians may not be liked, but they are respected in that sense. If that were not true no one else would want it, by word and example. That is exactly what Christ taught:


(Matthew 5:16) "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."


(Notice, this is the same concept as with a Pharoah/Nebuchadnezzar. Though their hearts were hard, and they did not repent. It's a start and a chance to open their eyes up to the LORD).


Many have heard, you may be the only Bible some people read. That concept can see be seen here. But remember it cannot be done serving them (serving man), it can only be done serving the LORD. As you must love them less, not hate (Luke 14:26-27 below):


No matter what a person will always let you down (even if they are not trying, everyone falls short, we don't live in sin/desiring sin). Christ never let us down. Beside that you cannot be in-between what you serve. In other words, serve one, serve them all--in heart and mind.


(Luke 14:26-27) "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.


27And whosoever doth not bear his cross (denying/no to the flesh first), and come after me, cannot be my disciple."

Please reference Ephesians 5 and 6 as well.

AMEN

II Corinthians 6; Verses 14-18; Equally/Unequally Yoked; True Love

(II Corinthians 6:14-18) "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness (doing right) with unrighteousness (doing wrong)? and what communion hath light with darkness?


(Paul used many examples to get through to people here. Yoked together should be the ability to work as a seamless team, balancing the weight/work. One person putting all in it will never work. One person putting in 75 and the other 25 it will never work. Bare each others burdens in unselfishness. Lightening the load. That is how God works. Christ was the example in being servant. Why HE is in the middle, and the middle of it all. Freedom (from bondage, having that rest, first yoked with Christ individually) allows the love to be unselfish as Christ did the same for us).

(Though, we do not meet in the middle on Christian morals/ethics (compromising them) as feelings result (correct feelings or incorrect). That being said that imbalance will cause one to be putting in more feelings and getting nothing back in return (feelings then become all negative because of no trust). Making that work tiring as a result as an unbalanced yoke would. I suppose let's bring out the whip and be a slave driver too).


An unbeliever/not true Christian will not have the forgiveness of sins thus repentance as it is. Not even know how to forgive, or what to forgive for. Feeling correctly and emotional intelligence begin there. NOW YOU ARE GROWING. Otherwise, you're always in the past, vengeful, spite, bitter. And everything negative as a result. Beginning with fear with this complete absence of love. Complete love casts out all fear. The first two commandments.


Moving on, light with darkness. Like night and day, nothing in common. One a child of light, one a child of darkness (until belief/repentance). The work here also seen because the darkness always runs from the light. Therefore, the chase would be on. Work, work, work. No team.


The darkness cannot comprehend/understand the light. Surely they won't be around to seek to understand the person.


15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
What does Christ have in common with satan (of course the person is not satan themselves)?


Do they walk together joined at the hip? Holding hands? Believe = Faithful. Infidel = Faithless


16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.


(That would be breaking the very first commandment. Therefore, there can be no love in it).


17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,


Be separate as in sanctified. An unbeliever may take this well are you better than me? Irrelevant. That is an impossibility as it is for one who has been humbled truly by God. Following His ways lower themselves. Where as man plays God making it up excusing his actions. Quite frankly, man makes up standards that cannot be kept. God makes standards we can keep through Christ as He did first for us. To say one wants more than that is playing God, above God. Who thinks their better? You will never win with a double-standard "judger". beside that, they have it set up that way where they are right about everything, right in their own eyes. They love to argue too. Because they have to be right. So, we wonder why the mess?


18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."


(And so it is. View and treat each other as brothers and sisters in Christ first. That view for a reason. Spiritual protection. As this view first gives much power of protection. How so you ask? Naturally, one wants to protect and not see their natural sibling harmed. So Spiritually even greater. The power of the Holy Spirit. Now we're talking God's Will).

AMEN

Psalm 90; Verses 5-6; II Peter; satan's Flood of Lies

(Psalm 90:5-6) "Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep

(the foolish virgins; Matthew 25, look me up): in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
(This of course, is Moses prophesying about satan's flood of lies he is bringing. Beginning with claiming to be Christ/God).


(This is also why Peter is teaching so much from the Song of Moses. As the previous verse here in Psalm is about a day with the Lord is a thousand years, and one day as a thousand years).


(I Peter 1:24-25) "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:


25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."


Back to Psalm 90:6,


6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.


(The expression is to show they wake up with false hope. Their hope quickly fades throughout the day because they trust in God's creation to save them. Idolatry, of the flesh. Remember, Christ likes a thief in the night on the Day of the Lord, when the world is spiritual darkness. As the day of the Lord is a day of darkness. Also, what that means at the 5th vial in Revelation 16, and everywhere else. The world's darkest hour, the hour of temptation, satan claiming to be Christ/God. Which is why also Christ back like lightning showing the swiftness and that HE is the light).


Where can I read about the flood of lies? Remember, Christ said just like the days of Noah. As satan is cast out of Heaven with the fallen angels for the woe trumpets.


(Revelation 12:9) "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."


(Revelation 12:12) "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."


For the woe trumpets>>> (trumpet = battle call/call to action).


(Revelation 8:13) "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound"!


Now that is set, to the flood of lies:


(Revelation 12:15-16) "And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.


16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth."


(This also in the song of Moses. The woman is of course mother Israel symbolic. The remnant of her seed are daughters of Zion. Those that worship satan as Christ/God are daughters of Babylon. Also, here which shows us Israel's HIStory that God helped them with the earth's "natural" resources (the earth helped the woman), as He will again. He gives Christians the smart, know how to do so. We also prepare accordingly).


To Daniel 11:21-22,


"And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
(Smooth talking satan distorting reality. Here is that world peace he comes in of course).


22And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.


(He claims to be the prince of peace, but it's a flood of lies).


Lastly, after Isaiah beginning with the same foolish virgins and dealing with those who keep the womb barren when satan comes from verse 1. Those who worship satan, "woe to those with child." Giving suck as well. Which means to spiritually fornicate with satan, cheating on the husbandmen and not taking place in the marriage supper of the lamb. They get the great supper of God. Moreover, with child = reproducing satan's works. Giving suck = nursing them, growing. What it means.


Isaiah 54:9-10 "For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.


10For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee."
(The LORD making that point here again. HIS PEACE. Seen here satan's flood of lies and satan's "covenant" of world peace is nothing, an illusion).


Now that we have come full circle, let's take a look at Psalm 90:4,


"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night."


(Peter using this in II Peter 3. Christ also coming as a thief in the night to those who are not watching/watchmen, because they are sleeping. Stay on the housetop or you can help no one).
Now Christ teaching everything explained here:


(Mark 13:14-15) "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:


(That moment satan claims to be Christ/God in Jerusalem).


15And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:


(Mark 13:17) "But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!"!


(Keep the womb barren, spiritually speaking).


(Isaiah 54:1) "Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD."


(What are they singing? The Song of Moses of course).


(II Peter 3:8) "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. "


(II Peter 3:10) "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."


Okay, we will leave it there.

Proverbs 1; Verses 6-7; Raising Discernment

Continuing on in Proverbs. Raising discernment. A much needed thing these days. A matter of life and death. Thank you for taking a look †


(Proverbs 21:16) "The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead."


(Proverbs 1:6-7) "To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.


Who is that again? 1:5 "A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels."


They will have the discernment to know where to go. Through Spiritual Discipline in God's Word, learning in growing in His Word. It's gonna happen in sincerity. I can also tell you nothing will happen if you don't want to change. Many go to God's Word with ulterior motives. He only likes one motive, humble. He is right in everything, and we are wrong. He is up above, and we are below.
With that being said:


Understand here = Perception through discernment. Proverbs = A side by side comparison. What's it take? Rationale reasoning/reasoning skills through the Holy Spirit. To know and understand the Spiritual to the Spiritual, and how the physical relates the the Spiritual. So we put the Spiritual first.
Dark in the sense it is hidden from their eyes. Not able to understand the questions that arise. The very case in point for a Proverb in the first place, a side by side comparison separating, giving us the answer in the middle. As it truth should be like night and day. Light from darkness, Life from death.
Christ of course, summed it all up, "Do unto others as you would have them done to you." Christ is giving us simplification to stay within it. Now we have to read, study God's Word to find out exactly what that is. Always staying within that parameter. Simply said as well, "two wrongs never make a right", as well.


Once again, I want to give a very simple Biblical concept to be serving Christ in love. We do not live not do, we live to do for. Doing for our Father through Christ, serving out of love. Notice that in all of Christ' teaching. He don't say do this, and that. Without showing how it's done. Example: Living not to sin, or living and doing for Christ, one will automatically not sin. That is in love, the other is in fear, fear based.


7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."


(This word fear means reverence from the Hebrew. To respect His authority in all knowing. Proverbs of course, showing us how live in Righteousness through faith. To begin to even know anything, to be able to get to wisdom/instruction. This is common sense of course, if one does not respect a thing they won't listen. One ear and out the other. We want to hear what the Holy Spirit says. Like putting your behind the ear, moving into pay special close attention. From the Greek that would be the physical action according to the Spiritual definition).


There is knowledge and the rest is discernment understanding the path of righteousness (this is the theme/concept all throughout Proverbs, you will always see that order). It does take time to put that knowledge together. Bits and piece here and there, no good. Therefore, "knowing is truly half the battle."


Fools = Remember Christ said call no one a fool without cause. But let's remember there in Matthew 5 even more. It means to consider them worthless, good for nothing. As they would have no salt. What would without cause be? They have not sinned against you, they are Christian. Or they have sinned against you and repented. Common sense! God is not angry at them but you are? Very foolish indeed.


Despise = Why hate God's Word? Here despise means contempt with resentment. Now we're getting somewhere. Contempt for one of course shuts everything off and not hearing them. Do we really seek to understand first as opposed to be understood? This is huge in the point when one would not have cause. Get off the high-horse. or mount up for satan and do his work then (Revelation 9:16-19). Why would I say that? Matthew 5:22-25. Simple, because of unforgiveness, contempt, resentment, bitter, satan is with you. You are working for him (Matthew 18:32-35 as well).


Note: Matthew 5:25 it says agree with thine adversary. It actually means to be well-minded. Same concept as wiser than the serpent. And of course, if Matthew 5:25 is not done satan is wiser than a person. Just as the strongman, means stronger in mind. Matthew 5:25 and Matthew 18:35 show us the same concept. Many say they have relationship with God. But do not forgive and repent, asking for forgiveness with that person. They are paying the debt. Meaning Christ paid the debt at the cross for these things, going back to the very foundation. So now with evil spirits around them, and on them, they are forced to go back to the cross. Square one, where satan was defeated in the first place. This is why. As I say God is doing them a favor. the cross just ain't getting the job done in their mind. Now they have no choice, that is if they don't want satan on their butts. Way it is, way it's going to be.


If you do not forgive others their trespasses, He won't forgive you. Stuck. The stuck crackhead has satan on them as well. My point there is quite looking around (being in self-righteousness) and look at self. What you need to do. Then you can help the crackhead.


Make no mistake, they will rather have world peace as well. Not being peacemakers through God's Word.

Proverbs 1; Verses 8-9; Raising Discernment

(Proverbs 1:8-9) "My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:


(God/Holy Spirit through the male/men/Father instills spiritual discipline. Here the same for the female/woman/mother (and their role). To instill direction/instruction/guidance from God's laws/standards. Proverbs 31:1-9 and Proverbs 31 overall in detail based from God's law but in detail. Now this is a team. As you how each are related to one another, working seamlessly here).

It does not matter if you are father or mother physically. The point is beliefs. I would hope so, if not what happens when one does become one. If not, how you view the world. As we dealing with perception (what we bring in) to outward discernment (what we see out).


9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck."


(How should we treat these things? Grace. Now grace through Christ and staying within it. Favor from the LORD. Now we're getting into body decoration. The outside of the cup, the flesh outward. Especially, when it comes to Christian related jewelry (which of course is fine when handled correctly) know who you are representing. Know who you are representing when you claim to be Christian. The goal should be to serve Christ, automatically not bringing shame to Him).


Grace will never leave the mind, which began receiving from the heart in the previous verses. Also, likewise why the helmet of salvation begins with the mind, protecting it (point is different analogy, same concept). An ornament is pleasing to the eye, perception thus the senses in the physical. So, we are talking about what is pleasing to the spiritual sense, through the Holy Spirit giving good countenance.


The LORD shows different analogies/metaphors/comparisons used in the Bible for us to relate with the same concept to help build faith. How true the Bible is, how consistent it is, and we are not. Trying to reach out in everyday what see in our physical surroundings. To learn from the Holy Spiritual. Then we know how to treat, view, organize, respect (reverence from the word fear in the previous post).


Understanding His analogies/metaphors of course we can be reasonable thinkers, reasonable people. Balancing things, having fairness/equity. Have a reason to begin. That is worthwhile.
The next few Proverbs are going to be amazing. You will see how beliefs/Spiritual condition relate what we call political beliefs in correlation with Revelation. Beginning with each individual to the outward world. You won't want to miss it.

II Thessalonians 2; Verses 1-12; False Rapture/Pre-Trib Rapture Doctrine/Theory

Thank you for taking a look. †

Let's recap real quick. Please refer to the studies of I Thessalonians 4:16-17 individually for further knowledge and understanding.

In I Thessalonians 4:17, we learned the subject begins in verse 13. Answering two questions: Where are the physically dead in Christ now up until the time Christ comes back? Secondly, what is to become of us who are alive when He comes back? 1) He brings the physically dead with Him who are currently with Him in Heaven on the good side of the gulf. No one's soul and spirit is laying 6 feet under in the ground with their physical body right now. HE is the God of the living, not the dead. 2) They come with Him when we are gathered back to them--the cloud of witnesses. As illustrated in all Scripture OT and NT, He is coming with the clouds. "Air" in I Thessalonians 4:17, means "to blow breath of life" bodies. That is because it's the first resurrection. Will believers be suspended in the air in the clouds forever? No, that's NONSENSE! That is man deceiving by making up his own words which is what happens when you follow one verse here, one verse there. The word is a testimony against yourself. Oh, how the stones cry out! The Word of God actually is a stumbling block to those who deceive with their own words rather than teaching the truth as it is written.

With that being said, Paul wrote a second letter to absolutely clear up an confusion. Let's take a look:

(II Thessalonians 2:1-12) "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

(Beseech = We question you. Are you going to answer them or keep walking for the sign post straight to satan claiming to be Christ/God? “Not me; no, never.” Thought would be even more prideful because no one is exempt or anymore special than anyone else. We are to be sealed with the truth.)

(This is referring to the first letter speaking of the gathering back to Christ--the timing of the first resurrection. What's going to happen? What will it be like? We already learned from there, and the subject continues in I Thessalonians 5. Christ will come on them unaware because they do not know. Well, here we go; it's time to know. Paul went to great lengths, and so am I myself. I want to see NO ONE bow to satan. Let's stop following the false preachers who teach one verse here, one verse there for an hour, never getting past their own words or into to God's Word.)

2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

(Do not be rattled by any form of communication. Spirit, what spirit could that be? Just as that evil spirit came to Margaret MacDonald and 2 preachers standing there ran with rapture/pre-trib doctrine in 1830. But we never look to that as the basis of any argument. We get to verse-by-verse teaching and use them as supporting factors. Day of Christ = The Day of the Lord. His one time coming. One event!)

3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

(Here you have it--man's lie saying there is going to be a pre-trib rapture. Falling away = Apostasy. They are it, and this is speaking right against them. The root word from apostasy means "as a divorce". So, it is a drawn out thing because the Lord is fed up with lies, but it also ends the relationship on a dime. It hands them over. Nothing else is working or getting the job done.)

(Man of sin = satan himself in a man's body just as Christ did. Satan will not be born of woman. Revelation 12:7-9. He loses the war in Heaven with the fallen angels at the hands of Michael the Archangel. We will go over more on that below. Son of perdition = To perish. Wasting away because satan is the abomination that makes desolate, as well. Please refer back to Revelation 17 as well, the beast that goes into perdition there (the last beast). This is two of satan's roughly 40 names in his roles he plays throughout scripture. It shows and gives us his characteristics. Are you going to learn the enemy or what? Let's get the Gospel Armour on so we can withstand the spirits from verse 2!)

4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

(He is against everything of God and all; he is completely opposite. He will be in his own body claiming to be Christ/God in Jerusalem. Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14; Luke 21:20; Revelation 13:11 are all the same time direct timing. I would use that as reference to study before and after accordingly. These are just the references from the NT. It's also illustrated up and down in the OT as well.)

5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
(We have been through this before. We have been over it more than once, so let's get with it.)

6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

(This is Michael, of course, as referenced above. Let's take a quick look:

OT (Daniel 12:1) “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

NT, for the last 3 woe trumps you will see, keep reading, then go back to Revelation 8:13; 9;1 to continue that study. (Or don't and continue on heading straight for satan. (Revelation 12:7-9). )

7“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

Back to II Thessalonians 2:7:

7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

(Here we go back to the subject from the verse. Iniquity and the worker of it = the man of sin satan himself. It continues on until Christ comes back and destroys satan as the beast and the false prophet; these are two parts of the evil Godhead/evil trinity seen at the 6^th vial. Remember that satan comes to claim to be Christ/God in/at the 6^th seal,, 6^th trumpet, 6^th vial, thus 666. The real Christ comes in/at the 7^th seal, 7^th trumpet, 7^th vial, thus 777 which is the last trumpet.)

(Revelation 16:13) “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. “

(Dragon = satan himself. Beast = one world system. False prophet = satan claiming to be Christ/God. Furthermore, here we see they are thrown into the lake of fire when Christ comes back, but one remains. That one is satan himself bound for the Millennium who later comes as himself (once again) at the end of the Millennium. In other words, he gets to “play” no more deceptive roles at that point. We will cover more on that in a Millennium study at a later time.)

Now a word to the false teachers who say this is the Holy Spirit being removed here (making it up with their own words): Where is the Holy Spirit talked about here? Where else is there a second witness in ALL of Scripture? More nonsense. As actually, the two witnesses bring a double pouring of the Holy Spirit. Want even more nonsense? If the Holy Spirit is gone then how is it you say some will be saved during this time?

We're questioning you. Are you above them? I'm speaking to false teachers who will read this--the one's Christ and the apostles warned over and over about in the end-times. I repeat, we were warned over and over again! 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

(All will see because Christ is the light, but they are in darkness. The sun, moon, and stars shall not give their light. This is also why you see the angels standing in front of the sun; that is what it represents.)

9even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

(satan himself plays these roles as man of sin/son of perdition, just as he was not a literal talking serpent (shown in Revelation 12:7-9). Similarly, he was not a literal fruit tree. It's important to note that these symbols are supposed to give us deep meanings in characteristics (even though this is rarely taught nowadays). The symbolism helps explain more than what is written which is sadly not done by rapture/pre-trib rapture teachers because most do not understand it or care to teach it.)

10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

(They hate truth. How are you feeling now reading this? Asking yourself that question is a good test to see where you stand in the faith. There is no love in those that this verse is referring to because they are not even open to receiving it. Please be careful to resist or stop being hard-hearted and/or close-minded.)


11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

(No one is exempt. Suppose one thinks they are... go ask any one who calls himself Christian, and ask if they would ever worship satan as Christ/God? Most would reply, "No, never, not me!" However, it's written that many will. Rapture/pre-trib rapture believers are not special or entitled. If you are not careful, you will be walking straight to the arms of satan. We want to help prevent that because we love and care about your soul. We also hope that you receive this truth with an open heart, mind, and arms).

12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

(Get real. Do you love the things of the world over the Lord? Be honest with yourself.)

(The rest of the chapter goes about standing firm. We sure do with that Gospel Armour on. To stand = firmly planted, immovable. As THE LORD IS THE ROCK an immovable force. When it comes to satan coming to claim to be Christ/God, we want to be one force to reckon with making Him fear us in the power of the cross and the name of Yeshua the Mashiach.)

Thank you for concluding this study. We pray these words bring you comfort (as they are intended to and should) especially going back to I Thessalonians 4:18. This shows us where the physically dead in Christ are up until the time He comes, and what becomes of us believers at that time. That will be the amazing and awesome first resurrection, which is our blessed hope! If you did not know this before, it's okay. Please be sure to realize that man is deceiving when it comes to this false rapture/pre-trib doctrine. It is called "soothe-saying".


Amen. †
