Col 3:1 ASV - If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. These next ten verses are speaking of a walk we are walking towards this truth . It is no longer our flesh man , the old man that dictates to us any longer we constantly die to self putting to death the deeds of our fleshly carnal mind. This truth leads to being born again . People use that verse a lot not knowing what is the spiritual truth following that verse . By following the commandants of the truth of that verse . A man cannot see the kingdom of God with out the baptism of the Holy Spirit . You do not get it all when you confess Jesus as Lord . That is the beginning of salvation , the church today leads people to this prayer but stop right there , Luk 10:19 ASV - Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.
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. Luk 11:13 ASV - If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
The word says that only by the spirit of God can a man say Jesus is lord . 1Co 12:3 ASV - Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. There are many people today that have the name of Jesus, and any man can speak the name of Jesus . But this is speaking of a true relationship with Christ is he abiding in you, does his presence manifest in you .
Eph 4:30 ASV - And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption. Once Jesus comes to live in you he will never leave you or forsake you. The spirit of God lives in your heart your soul . And the word soul in the Greek is your mind your will and your emotion . 1Th 5:23 ASV - And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved Entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Entire
Entire: Greek: holokleros
"complete, sound in every part" (holos, "whole," kleros, "a lot," i.e., with all that has fallen by lot), is used ethically in 1Th 5:23, indicating that every grace present in Christ should be manifested in the believer; so Jam 1:4. In the Sept. the word is used, e.g., of a "full" week, Lev 23:15; of altar stones unhewn, Deu 27:6; Jos 8:31; of a "full-grown" vine tree, useless for work, Eze 15:5; of the "sound" condition of a sheep, Zec 11:16.

1Co 6:19 ASV - Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; The flesh of man is an enemy of God and the spirit of God is an enemy of our flesh . Your were born of Adams flesh and until we put to death the deeds of the flesh we will struggle in our walk. The devil is not some little red man with a forked tail and horns on his head . Your enemy is your flesh , and the power of sin in your flesh . First comes Lust than if you indulge in that lust it becomes sin and sin brings death ! The reason man came into the world with the body he has is that you have a free will to choose to live for God , you choose to live that holy life and obey the whole word of Christ Jesus . Every entity in the presence of God today
was made to serve God and praise God scripture speaks that . But man was made for one thing only to Love the Lord your God with all your heart Mat 22:37 ASV - And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. You must be born again to experience this great truth , the flesh has no power in itself it is earthy bound to this earth but the promise has come to save us from this bondage of sin. Jesus said I must go away so the promise of the father will come . 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
The scripture calls it , The Fruit of the spirit and the Works of the flesh, and in all fruit there is a seed to procreate itself so as we manifest the fruit of the spirit we bring forth more fruit .
Jhn 12:24 ASV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
Jhn 15:8 ASV - Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples.
Gal 5:19 ASV - Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Works = deeds
| Greek: ergon |
Deed, Deeds:
denotes "a work" (Eng., "work" is etymologically akin), "deed, act." When used in the sense of a "deed or act," the idea of "working" is stressed, e.g., Rom 15:18; it frequently occurs in an ethical sense of human actions, good or bad, e.g., Mat 23:3; 26:10; Jhn 3:20, 21; Rom 2:7, 15; 1Th 1:3; 2Th 1:11, etc; sometimes in a less concrete sense, e.g., Tts 1:16; Jam 1:25 (RV, "that worketh," lit., "of work").

Luk 6:45 ASV - The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Luk 6:46 ASV - And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
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 7:21 ASV - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Gal 5:9 ASV - A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
Mat 7:22 ASV - Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
Mat 7:23 ASV - And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Knew in Greek is to have a personal relationship with Jesus getting alone with him sanctify yourselves unto him and listening for his voice . Lot and his family had to be pulled out of Sodom by the hand just before destruction came , Lot knew God through Abraham but he had no relationship personally with Christ , please grasp this it is a type of the church today , God save Lot because the word said that at the moment just before the fire fell he sent two Angels to take them out .I believe this is speaking of our day also for there are many people today preaching the word of repentance .
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. Abraham was contending for Lots soul when asking God if only ten righteous
be saved in the city and God knew this . Abraham went from fifty to ten righteous souls , Gen 18:32 ASV - And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
Gen 18:33 ASV - And Jehovah went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Abraham is a type of Christ contending for your souls , Jesus said in many places and I will pray to the father for you. Do you see that not one righteous soul was in Sodom it was consumed with the fire of God . God save Lot because of Abraham's faith 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,
Lot was like a lot of people today the angels said you must leave now get upon the mountain . But Lot and his wife lingered and hesitated looking at all their stuff they had amassed . Cars , houses money everything that would tie them to this earth . We must have that relationship with Christ Jesus
totally surrendered to the cross of his word , that we be called and also chosen to escape the wrath coming upon this earth whether we be dead or alive at that time.
Gen 19:1 ASV - And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth;
Gen 19:12 ASV - And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of the place:
Gen 19:13 ASV - for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before Jehovah: and Jehovah hath sent us to destroy it.
Gen 19:14 ASV - And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he seemed unto his sons-in-law as one that mocked. Sounds familiar as to today
Gen 19:15 ASV - And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
Gen 19:16 ASV - But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful unto him; and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. Lingered to linger, tarry, wait, delay hesitate
Gen 19:17 ASV - And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. Looking back to see one more time all their stuff there life's work being burned
And only Lots wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt . Pillar being a statue of salt or as a memorial to disobedience to Gods word . Love not the world nor the things of the world God saved Lot because he was merciful it says , but we having this great word of reconciliation given to us by the blood of the cross of Christ . We to are living in a world of sin and violence , perversion and great temptation . Matt 24 is very close to reality , calling good bad and bad good
Could Lot also represent the gathering of the saints to God to himself in this last day .
2Th 2:7 ASV - For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way. I am not declaring any thing here you be the judge as to this verse .
Restrain: Greek: katecho
"to hold fast or down," is translated "restraineth" in 2Th 2:6, 7. In ver. 6 lawlessness is spoken of as being "restrained" in its development: in ver. 7 "one that restraineth" is, lit., "the restrainer" (the article with the present participle, "the restraining one"); this may refer to an individual, as in the similar construction in 1Th 3:5, "the tempter" (cp. 2Th 1:10, lit., "the Deliverer"); or to a number of persons presenting the same characteristics, just as "the believer" stands for all believers, e.g., Rom 9:33; 1Jo 5:10. Ver. 6 speaks of a principle, ver. 7 of the principle as embodied in a person or series of persons; cp. what is said of "the power" in Rom 13:3, 4, a phrase representing all such rulers. Probably such powers,

Luk 17:28 ASV - Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29 ASV - but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
Luk 17:30 ASV - after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
Luk 17:31 ASV - In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.
Luk 17:32 ASV - Remember Lot's wife.
Luk 17:33 ASV - Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luk 11:32 ASV - The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
this is the last generation to see the coming of the Lord . Jesus said that the only sign this generation will receive is the sign of Jonah , he brought repentance to the men of Nineveh just as John the baptist brought it to us , make your paths straight get everything out of the way of that will hinder the coming of Jesus into you hearts . Read all of Hebrews 12 please 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 12:25 ASV - See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him that warneth from heaven:
Heb 12:26 ASV - whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.
Mat 7:24 ASV - Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock:
Mat 7:25 ASV - and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.
I would appreciate in word of correction or encouragement , I love Gods word and love to share it God bless you all
