With The Heart

1Jo 1:1 ASV - That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life
Jhn 20:24 ASV - But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

Jhn 20:27 ASV - Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

Luk 24:36 ASV - And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Luk 24:37 ASV - But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit

Luk 24:38 ASV - And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?

Luk 24:39 ASV - See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.

Luk 24:40 ASV - And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

Luk 24:41 ASV - And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?
Luk 24:42 ASV - And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

Luk 24:49 ASV - And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

Mat 16:17 ASV - And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.  Flesh and blood is   Adams flesh subject to failure .  And no man can understand and know God without his spirit in them.  Paul says flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God .   1Co 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.    Rom 8:5 ASV - For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
1Co 2:14 ASV - Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.   Faith that God gives to each one of us ' is a gift, man has no faith to believe it comes to him is a gift . Rom 1:19 ASV - because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.

 And Gods faith is totally without natural reasoning , the flesh is contrary to Faith.  If you can touch it smell it or see what it is you want , than that is not faith. The word says faith is the substance .    Heb 10:38 ASV - But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.
Heb 10:39 ASV - But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.     Heb 11:1 ASV - Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
Heb 11:3 ASV - By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.
Heb 11:6 ASV - And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.

Isa 26:2 ASV - Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in.
Isa 26:3 ASV - Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.     Sodom was judged and burned , even according to Abraham . If there be ten righteous Lord in the city will you destroy it.  So we see here the city was burned , there was not even ten righteous
souls in the city.   Lot chose to live in Sodom and raise his family .  Through his uncle Abraham's influence of faith Lot saw God work and knew God through Abraham .   Where was his faith in that time did he believe as Abraham .  Peter says his soul was vex daily because of the evil around him. 
Gen 19:29 ASV - And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.   Lot was saved by Abraham's faith and prayers .  Lot knew God through Abraham but he did not know God from his heart he had no faith to believe God . If you read        Gen 13:10 ASV - And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.   Lot chose with his eyes and lusted for the best of the land .
Gen 13:11 ASV - So Lot chose him all the Plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Gen 13:12 ASV - Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Gen 13:13 ASV - Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against Jehovah exceedingly.  Ask your self why would a man such as Lot seeing and experiencing the blessings of God on Abraham and he partook of . How could a man seeing this move to Sodom and live their . Lot is a type of man today they want God and their fleshly appetite .    A type and a shadow of people to day , they want what they see with their eyes and with out prayer and seeking the Lord they live in the desires of their flesh .           Gal 5:16 ASV - But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
1Jo 2:16 ASV - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Lot and his family were guilty of being associated with Sodom ,   the bible says  2Co 6:14 ASV - Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?       Lot and his family would have suffered the same as the others in Sodom , but God remembered Abraham and sent angels to drag them out of the city.   Read the word and see , if the angels had not taken their hands and pulled them out of Sodom they would have burned with the others.   The world had such a grip on their flesh and they loved their stuff so much and their life in Sodom.     1Jo 2:15 ASV - 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.
1Jo 2:16 ASV - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jo 2:17 ASV - And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.    Jesus has made the way for us all ,  and God is calling people to sanctify themselves unto him. 
Eph 1:17 ASV - that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
Eph 1:18 ASV - having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

       SAINTS  Greek: hagios

Holiness, Holy, Holily:
akin to A, Nos. 1 and 2, which are from the same root as hagnos (found in hazo, "to venerate"), fundamentally signifies "separated" (among the Greeks, dedicated to the gods), and hence, in Scripture in its moral and spiritual significance, separated from sin and therefore consecrated to God, sacred.

(a) It is predicted of God (as the absolutely "Holy" One, in His purity, majesty and glory): of the Father, e.g., Luk 1:49; Jhn 17:11; 1Pe 1:15,16; Rev 4:8; 6:10; of the Son, e.g., Luk 1:35; Act 3:14; 4:27,30; 1Jo 2:20; of the Spirit, e.g., Mat 1:18 and frequently in all the Gospels, Acts, Romans, 1 and 2 Cor., Eph., 1 Thess.; also in 2Ti 1:14; Tts 3:5; 1Pe 1:12; 2Pe 1:21; Jud 1:20.

(b) It is used of men and things (see below) in so far as they are devoted to God. Indeed the quality, as attributed to God, is often presented in a way which involves Divine demands upon the conduct of believers. These are called hagioi, "saints," i.e., "sanctified" or "holy" ones.

This sainthood is not an attainment, it is a state into which God in grace calls men; yet believers are called to sanctify themselves (consistently with their calling, 2Ti 1:9), cleansing themselves from all defilement, forsaking sin, living a "holy" manner of life, 1Pe 1:15; 2Pe 3:11, and experiencing fellowship with God in His holiness. The saints are thus figuratively spoken of as "a holy temple," 1Cr 3:17 (a local church); Eph 2:21 (the whole Church), cp. Eph 5:27; "a holy priesthood," 1Pe 2:5; "a holy nation," 1Pe 2:9.

"It is evident that hagios and its kindred words... express something more and higher than hieros, sacred, outwardly associated with God;... something more than semnos, worthy, honorable; something more than hagnos, pure, free from defilement. Hagios is... more comprehensive... It is characteristically godlikness" (G.B. Stevens, in Hastings' Bib. Dic.).

The adjective is also used of the outer part of the tabernacle, Hbr 9:2 (RV, "the holy place"); of the inner sanctuary, Hbr 9:3, RV, "the Holy of Holies;" Hbr 9:24, "a holy place," RV; Hbr 9:25 (plural), of the presence of God in heaven, where there are not two compartments as in the Tabernacle, all being "the holy place;" Hbr 9:8, 12 (neuter plural); Hbr 10:19, "the holy place," RV (AV, "the holiest," neut. plural), see SANCTUARY; of the city of Jerusalem, Rev 11:2; its temple, Act 6:13; of the faith, Jud 1:20; of the greetings of saints, 1Cr 16:20; of angels, e.g., Mar 8:38; of apostles and prophets, Eph 3:5; of the future heavenly Jerusalem, Rev 21:2, 10; 22:19.

Mat 22:14 ASV - For many are called, but few chosen.     Enter in by the narrow gate
Jesus said I am the door no man can come to the father but by me .
1Co 1:26 ASV - For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:    Its Gods calling to us its not how many schools you go to degrees you have nor your own strength ,   even being born into a religious home .  We are called into the body of Christ . Every man has a cross to bear,  it is the only way into the throne of the father .  What the church has to see is that Jesus is the way and the truth and the LIFE .   Rom 8:13 ASV - for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.   The only way to put to death the deeds of our flesh , is by the Holy Ghost .    Jhn 14:17 ASV - even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.
Jhn 15:26 ASV - But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
Jhn 16:13 ASV - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
1Jo 4:6 ASV - We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.    The Spirit of God comes as a gift it is a promise from the father .   If you are not sure whether you have the Holy Spirit than you do not , every man born again of Gods spirit knows he is of God.  Its not going to the front and excepting God as your personal savior and you get it all .  That is not according to scripture   
Act 2:37 ASV - Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
It says to repent first John had to come first before Jesus with out repentance no man can come unto God .    Luk 3:3 ASV - And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Luk 3:4 ASV - as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
Luk 3:5 ASV - Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
Luk 3:6 ASV - And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
A change of mind, as it appears to one who repents, of a purpose he has formed or of something he has done .
Heb 12:12 ASV - Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees;
Heb 12:13 ASV - and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed.
Heb 12:14 ASV - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:

Walk by the spirit ! how can a man walk by the spirit of God .  The promise Jesus spoke of 
Act 1:4 ASV - and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me:
Luk 24:49 ASV - And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.
Act 2:33 ASV - Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.
Rom 4:16 ASV - For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
There is absolutely nothing we can do to be saved in this walk , God wants you to totally surrender to his power and have that change of mind ,  and rest in him.
