How Beautiful
Exo 12:21 ASV - Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover. Take you Lambs ! a commandant of God to us all . Lambs do not fight nor run away and all through the word of God Jesus is a type and a shadow of a Lamb . And than he is the Shepard of the sheep that have gone astray, the good Shepard . Paul called and given this knowledge of Christ as a mystery , Col 1:25 ASV - whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God, Paul was called and anointed with this gospel for the gentiles . Greek: oikonomia Dispensation: to the stewardship committed to him "to fulfill the Word of God," the fulfillment being the unfolding of the completion of the Divinely arranged and imparted cycle of truths which are consummated in the truth relating to the Church as the Body of Christ, Col 1:25 (RV and AV, "dispensation"); so in Eph 3:2, of the grace of God given him as a stewardship ("dispensation") in regard to the same "mystery;"
"the management of a household or of household affairs" (oikos, "a house . Of the household of God , Jesus called it my Fathers house , This is not a building or an earthly structure , this is a spiritual house and it belongs to the father . Jesus said it is that kingdom of God that is not visible with the natural eyes . Much more than an earthly understanding , it is something wonderful and eternal .
Col 1:26 ASV - even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, Greek: musterion Mystery: of God: the secret counsels which govern God in dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and wicked men but plain to the godly . Christ, who is God Himself revealed under the conditions of human life, Col 2:2; 4:3, and submitting even to death, 1Cr 2:1 (in some mss., for marturion, testimony), 7, but raised from among the dead, 1Ti 3:16, that the will of God to co-ordinate the universe in Him, and subject it to Him, might in due time be accomplished, Eph 1:9 (cp. Rev 10:7), as is declared in the gospel, Rom 16:25; Eph 6:19
Saints Greek: hagios Holiness, Holy, Holily:
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.
Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Riches Greek: ploutos
Rich, Riches, Richly, Rich Man: possessed by God and exercised towards men, Rom 2:4, "of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;" Rom 9:23 and Eph 3:16, "of His glory" (i.e., of its manifestation in grace towards believers); Rom 11:33, of His wisdom and knowledge; Eph 1:7; 2:7, "of His grace;" Eph 1:18, "of the glory of His inheritance in the saints;" Eph 3:8, "of Christ;" Phl 4:19, "in glory in Christ Jesus," RV; Col 1:27, "of the glory of this mystery... Christ in you, the hope of glory; Many are called but few are chosen ! the word called is to receive an invitation .
The masters son is going to be married and you dear friend are invited . God compares this wonderful event of the church as Christ his son a Husband and the called and chosen and chosen is the elect Greek: eklektos Choice, Choose, Chosen: The source of their "election" is God's grace, not human will, Eph 1:4, 5; Rom 9:11; 11:5. They are given by God the Father to Christ as the fruit of His death . The elect is the chosen wife of Christ so as the old saying has been said many times over , A marriage made in heaven. The beauty of this mystery is the knowledge of Christ in you the hope of Glory. Jesus spoke of this wedding in many places in the gospels in parables. Parables are a veiled , a casting or placing side by side a figure .
Luk 8:10 ASV - And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
This is the calling of God to you my friend only by prayer and fasting seeking the will of God in your life will the understanding of holiness come. Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ . Rom 6:22 ASV - But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. Sanctification Greek: hagiasmos Holiness, Holy, Holily: separation to God, 1Cr 1:30;
We must see here the importance of this word , The bible says we are saved by Grace and grace is that we have the benefit of the blood of the Lamb to cover our sins. And that with the grace of God he than gives us a measure a gift of Faith to walk in that blood sacrifice . He loved us before we ever even knew him . God gives Grace and Faith as a gift of his love to us , so we give back to our father the fruit of that sacrifice of the Lamb ! Sanctification we are sanctified by our giving God our all our separation unto him wholly and with out measure.
Dear friends there is only one gospel and it is not being preached today , it has been silenced by men not called of God to be a Shepard of God who's sheep are not his own . From many years ago so called holy men have perverted the Gospel of Christ . If you open your bibles and read in the gospels the whole word of God you will see error abundant in the church today . Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandants.
Jhn 14:23 ASV - Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Mat 7:13 ASV - Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.
Mat 7:14 ASV - For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
Mat 22:11 ASV - But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
Mat 22:12 ASV - and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. The called and the chosen the wedding garments of the saints
Rev 19:7 ASV - Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Rev 19:9 ASV - And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.
Friend you need the Holy Spirit that was given at the very beginning of the church age . The power to live this holy life , Jesus said I will not leave you comfortless I will come unto you
Jhn 14:17 KJV - Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Luk 17:20 ASV - And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 ASV - neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you. Christ in you the hope of glory
Jhn 14:18 KJV - I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Jhn 14:19 KJV - Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Jhn 14:20 KJV - At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

Luke 20:25 Render Unto Ceaser
Mar 1:11 ASV - And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
Mar 1:12 ASV - And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.
Mar 1:13 ASV - And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; And he was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered unto him. Forty Greek: tessarakonta Forty:
is used in circumstances in Scripture which indicate the number as suggesting probation, separation or judgment, e.g., Mat 4:2; Act 1:3; Hbr 3:9, 17.
Greek: therion Beast: metaph. a brutal, bestial man, savage, ferocious to be distinguished from zoon, almost invariably denotes "a wild beast." In Act 28:4, "venomous beast" is used of the viper which fastened on Paul's hand. Zoon stresses the vital element, therion the bestial. The idea of a "beast" of prey is not always present. Once, in Hbr 12:20, it is used of the animals in the camp of Israel, such, e.g., as were appointed for sacrifice: But in the Sept. therion is never used of sacrificial animals;
Luk 4:1 ASV - And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness The moment Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit he went into a wilderness . A place of trials and of testing .
Luk 4:2 ASV - during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered.
After forty days of no water and no food the body begins to die quickly. Jesus was at the weakest point of his life , there is a truth here to see although he was weak in his flesh , at that point he over came the devil and his demons with the word of God . For every temptation from the devil Jesus spoke it is written , and he use the written word of God and satan could not stand against him.
Luk 4:3 ASV - And the devil said unto him, if thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.
Luk 4:4 ASV - And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.
Luk 4:5 ASV - And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luk 4:6 ASV - And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. Satan said he owns this earth and all the evil there of . Jesus told Pilate my kingdom is not of this earth .
Luk 4:7 ASV - If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine.
Luk 4:8 ASV - And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Just setting hear and reading , I am persuaded that the world is getting darker and some people do not see the spiritual darkness coming . The darkness is not the light of the sun , It is the evil coming upon the earth . Although God told Moses to lift his rod and proclaim a darkness over Egypt that could be Felt ! they could even breath this darkness into their nostrils God called this a curse , and in Duet 28-15 God will bring curses again to the unbeliever to the evil in heart . We are Abraham's off spring through Christ Jesus we are all Israel according to the covenant God gave to them that believe . Listen Jesus fulfilled the Law it was not done away with ! it was fulfilled . And the curse of the Law was through sin . Jesus is the new Law of grace and mercy , the old law is still in force and working against those that try to live it . Rom 13:10 ASV - Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Tit 1:15 ASV - To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Tit 1:16 ASV - They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
We must not get caught up in this worldly lie of restoration to the flesh , all things being restored as to worldly living taking America back making America great again . It is easy to do ! we want only the best for our children and our families. It is something we have been doing all our life's until ! Jesus came into our life . And in all his words has gave us, he constantly spoke about your cross and dying to self . And Rom 12:1&2 talks about surrendering our flesh completely to the word of his cross. Being born again by the renewing of your mind Gods word is what renews us and we are born again into his kingdom . Judgement is coming and nothing man can do will stop it. I am watching this election news going on and it is like a county fair with lots of lights and excitement . God will not restore this world it is condemned to burn , Jesus came to reconcile you back to the father . 1Co 1:30 ASV - But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
2Co 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Jesus came to show us the father and his love for us. Jesus is something you can and will be , he was the plan of God he was the very image of God on this earth . And there is a cross for every man to bear , this old Adamic life we were born into with has to come to an end . Jhn 1:11 ASV - He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: The power of his name all that Jesus was and is that is what we must become ! unless a seed fall into the ground and die , it cannot bear fruit .
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. This is where the cruse of the law of sin and death was fulfilled in us , we die to self on our cross just as Jesus died and lose this carnal mind, and we become a new creature a born again believer
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
If Christ is in you and he abides lives in you than his word has become flesh in you .
we must be sober and quite before the Lord in the days to come he is speaking and it is in a still small voice to his children. 1 kings 19:12 Your not going to hear the Lords voice living in your flesh , it is spiritual and it is his spirit in you speaking . You must be born again filled with the Holy Spirit just as in the book of Acts 2 the promise Jesus spoke of to every one that believes power from on high
There are Godly voices speaking in the world today, God is warning his people to watch and be vigilant . He not only hastens to perform his word over his people with protection and safety , but his prophecies of old are sure and will come to pass . We have Matt 24 and Jesus has told us all of what is coming , and we have had all this time to prepare .
Expecting a new restored government is not Gods word , Revelations says that Babylon will burn in one hour.
Rev 18:16 ASV - saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl!
Rev 18:17 ASV - for in an hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any wither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,
Rev 18:18 ASV - and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city? Could this city be your city or nation what city is capable of being this powerful an overwhelming city in the world today . The most powerful nation on this earth
Mar 1:13 ASV - And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; And he was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered unto him. The wild beast here is men with bestial minds perverted in every way. Therion in the Greek is men bestial men
Luk 4:5 ASV - And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luk 4:6 ASV - And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
Satan says to Jesus I own this earth and all that is of it , I used the word OF because Gods children still inhabit this earth but they are not OF this earth but every thing of this earth satan is the owner . Rom 12:2 AMP And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. I ask the Lord one day how is it that I can renew my mind as this word says . He spoke to me in my mind and said by my word by my word. Now if we go to Heb 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. Gods word is the new birth it has the power to being Gods life through his spirit into our hearts and renew our minds our carnal way of thinking . And therefore we put on the mind of Christ
We are in this world but not of it any longer , Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world ,if my kingdom was of this world than would my servants fight . I want to say that fighting the government as some preach is not what Jesus said . He said to love your enemy do good to them not to kill them . Jesus told Pilate he could call for twelve legions of angels to come and deliver him
Mat 26:53 ASV - Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? Mat 26:54 ASV - How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be? Jesus is saying I came here to die to fulfill the scriptures , and we two must die to our old man our carnal nature . Jesus died in his flesh as a perfect sinless sacrifice and we die in the spirit to receive the benefit of his blood shed for us he is our Passover. A legion is two thousand and Jesus said he could bring twenty four thousand , and only one will bind the devil in the end with a chain and cast him in the bottomless pit.
It is all about the cross and its work in our fleshly life's . Rom's 6 says that a dead man can not sin. Yes we can sin but the Power of sin has been abolished by the blood of Jesus . Rom 8:2 ASV - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
1Co 15:56 ASV - The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
1Jo 1:6 ASV - If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: If you have the Holy Spirit and are sinning you are in a very dangerous condition .
1Jo 1:7 ASV - but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. The very breath you breath belongs to God you were bought with a price
1Th 5:2 ASV - For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 ASV - When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.
1Th 5:4 ASV - But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:
1Th 5:5 ASV - for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;
1Th 5:6 ASV - so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 ASV - For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8 ASV - But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 ASV - For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 ASV - who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

A Pouring Out
Eph 2:4 ASV - but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 ASV - even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
Grace Greek: charis Benefit, Benefactor:
on the part of the bestower, the friendly disposition from which the kindly act proceeds, graciousness, loving-kindness, goodwill generally, e.g., Act 7:10; especially with reference to the Divine favor or "grace," e.g., Act 14:26; in this respect there is stress on its freeness and universality, its spontaneous character, as in the case of God's redemptive mercy, and the pleasure or joy He designs for the recipient; thus it is set in contrast with debt, Rom 4:4, 16, with works, Rom 11:6, and with law, Jhn 1:17; see also, e.g., Rom 6:14, 15; Gal 5:4;
(2) on the part of the receiver, a sense of the favor bestowed, a feeling of gratitude, e.g., Rom 6:17 ("thanks"); in this respect it sometimes signifies "to be thankful," e.g., Luk 17:9 ("doth he thank the servant?" lit., "hath he thanks to"); 1Ti 1:12;
I want to share with you the word Grace and how the word of God defines this wonderful and precious act of kindness upon those that believe . Salvation is an on going process as long as we live in this body we are in need of change . And how do we change where do we start according to John the baptist he came to make the Paths of the Lord in our life's level and straight .
Mat 3:3 ASV - For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
Paths Greek: tribos Path:
"a beaten track" (akin to tribo, "to rub, wear down"), "a path," is used in Mat 3:3; Mar 1:3; Luk 3:4.
As we see the Greek word Paths in our life's has been used a great deal , you have seen in your life a trail or even a path to cross from one place to another . And over time the path becomes beaten and worn by reason of use. John is describing this path in our life as an access to Grace Gods favor . Every thing that hinders the righteousness of God being made manifest in our hearts
is the sin spoken in this chapter 2 of Eph . The Lord called me in 1972 and it was a sovereign act of Gods grace , everything about Gods grace and mercy was poured out upon me that day . And I was that dead man in my spirit And you He made alive when you were spiritually dead and separated from Him because of your transgressions and sins . I was brought up in a denominational church , but I never knew who Jesus was I was never introduced to repentance . I was taught the religion but not the true gospel of God . Jesus said to count the cost of your faith Luk 14:28 ASV - For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it? Tower purgos Greek a fortified structure rising to a considerable height, to repel a hostile attack or to enable a watchman to see in every direction .
I wondered at the word tower Jesus use and I see that the tower is our souls our power of faith to stand in all trials . I do not want you to forget the word Grace which is the bases of this truth.
Listen I was lost through most of my early adult life as far as redemption was concerned . And that religion is still being taught today and it puts the soul of a man to sleep with a false doctrine. Once saved always saved , but Jesus said to count the cost of your salvation its an ever increasing truth that comes through having this Grace to stand on , and obedience to Gods word and lastly repentance . In my searching the last few years the Lord has reveled truths by his spirit and in prayer one morning I saw myself standing before very large gates , now the gates were open . But I could not go through the gates because there was so many obstacles in front of me . And each one was a different size and shape , they were very close to each other so that I could not pass. The intention was that I had to pass through the gates , that was my destination .
I wondered many times and ask the Lord what is the meaning of this. The obstacles in front of me was the sin in my life my rebellious ways , and I believe out of ignorance to Gods word people like myself are dead and blind to this truth . That is why it is Gods Grace the gift of faith to believe , his mercy endures for ever God is putting flesh on those dry bones. You must be born again as in Acts 2 be filled with the holy spirit Jesus spoke of in John 16
Ezekiel 37 A prophetic word to all the nations , The word nations is peoples of every kind Israel and the Gentiles Eze 37:14 ASV - And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.
Eze 37:24 ASV - And my servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in mine ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
Eze 37:26 ASV - Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Eze 37:27 ASV - My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Eze 37:28 ASV - And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. Evermore in Heb everlasting, indefinite or unending future, eternity . And in this chapter the Lord says Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. The moment Jesus die and gave up his spirit . Israel Israel = "God prevails" the second name for Jacob given to him by God after his wrestling with the angel at Peniel . Jacob at the river Jabbok in the Heb means a pouring out Gen 32:22 ASV - And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok. Jacob his name says all that he was and God saw he was repentant he was broken and empty , no more conniving and working in his own strength and flesh So we see here that God touched Jacob in his body his soul and his spirit he changed him physically and as a type and shadow of our true repentance a breaking of our hearts before God , a falling on the rock and being broken for ever more. God changes us just as Jacob . And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh . The light of Gods word is our light and it will rise upon us and direct our way. Jacob wrestled with his sin in his life , when every one was passed over the river in the darkest time of his life and he was all alone . He told God I will not let you go until you bless me and he prevailed and God blessed him .
Mat 27:50 ASV - And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. It is finished his flesh died , his gave up his spirit . Jesus said that the prophets and Moses wrote of me , every thing in the old and in the new is a prophecy coming true every day we live . Luk 24:44 ASV - And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.
Mat 27:51 ASV - And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; Heb 10:20 ASV - by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Mat 27:52 ASV - and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; Eze 37:12
Mat 27:53 ASV - and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.
Mat 3:8 ASV - Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
Mat 3:11 ASV - I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
Mat 3:12 ASV - whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Psa 23:3 ASV - He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 25:10 ASV - All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Eph 2:1 ASV - And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,
Eph 2:2 ASV - wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;
Eph 2:3 ASV - among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:--
Eph 2:4 ASV - but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 ASV - even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
Eph 2:6 ASV - and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 ASV - that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:8 ASV - for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
2Co 7:1 ASV - Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Mat 10:26 ASV - Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Mat 10:27 ASV - What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops.
Mat 10:34 ASV - Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Sword being the word of God , the word of God is alive and active.
Heb 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. This is the sword Jesus was speaking of , even to the division of soul and spirit . This word will if we allow it , will transform us into the very image of Christ . And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. The word has the power to separate us from this world , our carnal fleshly old man is our earthly worldly spirit
Jesus is the remedy for our lost souls , and we need a savior . The bible says that God sent his word to heal us. Jesus is our Passover, he was the Lamb whose blood was put on the door of our hearts . David said wash me with hyssop and I shall be clean . The washing water of the word.
As long as we live on this earth we are constantly building on our heavenly house our spiritual house of habitation .
1Jo 2:24 ASV - As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
