Two Calls Of God

                          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUtOrGyWBrg   

 This is a message from The Late David Wilkerson ,   I believe a true prophet of the last days church of the believers .  God has given to the church servants to perfect his church , men with a heart for God and a burning desire to save souls . And have the last days ability to bring the heart of God down to this earth and into the ears and the heart of the people that God the Father loves .  When this brother speaks I believe it is with the conviction and Godly sorrow to bring the power of repentance to hungry souls crying out to God for deliverance .   

Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?  When I read this verse I hear the voice of God speaking to his disciples his servants and he is speaking through Jesus .  

 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works. 
Heb 1:2 ASV - hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;

The verses below are the true word of God the Gospel Jesus preached and it is for the whole church it has not been done away with as some say .  Just remember there will be a great judgement in the very end and every soul will stand before the Lord to answer for their life here on earth .   Was the very words of Christ done away with ! as some men have stated .
Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the Whole creation.  Whole Greek: pas    All:
radically means "all." Used without the article it means "every," every kind or variety. So the RV marg. in Eph 2:21, "every building," and the text in Eph 3:15, "every family," and the RV marg. of Act 2:36, "every house;" or it may signify "the highest degree," the maximum of what is referred to, as, "with all boldness" Act 4:29. Before proper names of countries, cities and nations, and before collective terms, like "Israel," it signifies either "all" or "the whole," e.g., Mat 2:3; Act 2:36. Used with the article, it means the whole of one object. In the plural it signifies "the totality of the persons or things referred to." Used without a noun it virtually becomes a pronoun, meaning "everyone" or "anyone." In the plural with a noun it means "all." One form of the neuter plural (panta) signifies "wholly, together, in all ways, in all things," Act 20:35; 1Cr 9:25. The neuter plural without the article signifies "all things severally," e.g., Jhn 1:3; 1Cr 2:10; preceded by the article it denotes "all things," as constituting a whole, e.g., Rom 11:36; 1Cr 8:6; Eph 3:9.
See EVERY, Note (1), WHOLE.
Mar 16:16 ASV - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
Mar 16:17 ASV - And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 ASV - they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
2Th 2:3 ASV - let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
Is this the last days my friend are we in the end of all things       1Pe 4:7 ASV - But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:
2Pe 3:8 ASV - But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.    Will God judge you for believing this word or will he judge you for not believing his word and obeying .   Isaiah 61 speaks of God wrapping his children in a robe of righteousness .    Isa 61:10 ASV - I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.    This word in obedience to your walk will save you in the end ,  

Jhn 12:46 ASV - I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
Jhn 12:47 ASV - And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Jhn 12:48 ASV - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Rev 20:12 ASV - And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
We will all stand before the throne and this Word of God will be the plumb line to measure our life that we have lived here on earth .
Doubt and unbelief will condemn many in the last days in this great throne judgement ,  will God judge you for believing his word or for not believing his word.   We my friends are living in the days of the great Falling away now. Apostasy is rampant and satan is working with his angels of light to deceive the many  The many Called but not Chosen.


 1Co 12:28 ASV - And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.
Eph 2:20 ASV - being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph 3:5 ASV - which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
Eph 4:11 ASV - And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
2Pe 3:2 ASV - that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles:

 2Co 5:10 ASV - For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

 Acts 2
 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?    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.     For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.  This promise is just as alive today as it was in the day Peter spoke it .  

 Luk 6:46 ASV - And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
 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.
 1Th 4:3 ASV - For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;
1Th 5:18 ASV - in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.
 Rom 12:2 ASV - And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.


Heb 8:10 ASV - For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:

Unrighteous Mammon

                                  
16 Now Jesus was also saying to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager [of his estate], and accusations [against this man] were brought to him, that this man was squandering his [master’s] possessions. 2 So he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management [of my affairs], for you can no longer be [my] manager.’ 3 The manager [of the estate] said to himself, ‘What will I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig [for a living], and I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management, people [who are my master’s debtors] will welcome me into their homes.’ 5 So he summoned his master’s debtors one by one, and he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6 He said, ‘A hundred [a]measures of [olive] oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write [b]fifty.’ 7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred [c]measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ 8 And his master commended the unjust manager [not for his misdeeds, but] because he had acted shrewdly [by preparing for his future unemployment]; for the sons of this age [the non-believers] are shrewder in relation to their own kind [that is, to the ways of the secular world] than are the sons of light [the believers]. 9 And I tell you [learn from this], make friends for yourselves [for eternity] by means of the [d]wealth of unrighteousness [that is, use material resources as a way to further the work of God], so that when it runs out, they will welcome you into the eternal dwellings.     There is no eternal rest in this earth ,  it is a place of reconconing  and reconciling us to God .   Luk 10:20 ASV - Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.                                    And Jesus is that new man that we compare ourselfs to every day we live and walk in his kingdom.  
Jhn 14:3 ASV - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Jhn 14:4 ASV - And whither I go, ye know the way.
Jhn 14:5 ASV - Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
Jhn 14:6 ASV - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.        Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.    We are save spirit ,soul and body           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    Greek: holokleros   Entire:           "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 .

I started out this blog with this premise that God loves a cheerful giver ,  we are our brothers keeper .     Giving to God is an essential fruit of your father ,  and Jesus and the parables he spoke were Gods light unto his people .  Rom 13:10 ASV - Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.         2Co 9:6 ASV - But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
2Co 9:7 ASV - Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2Co 9:8 ASV - And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:
2Co 9:9 ASV - as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.
10 “He who is faithful in a very little thing is also faithful in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little thing is also dishonest in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of earthly wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? 12 And if you have not been faithful in the use of that [earthly wealth] which belongs to another [whether God or man, and of which you are a trustee], who will give you that which is your own?

1Ti 6:10 ASV - For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Heb 13:5 ASV - Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.
So we see here there is a righteous Mammon and an unrighteous mammon ,   The father does not need your money , he is dealing with the heart of a man in this truth.                   Luk 12:34 ASV - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  
"a storehouse," Mat 13:52; used metaphorically of the heart, Mat 12:35, twice (RV, "out of his treasure"); Luk 6:45;   "a treasure," Mat 6:19-21; 13:44; Luk 12:33, 34; Hbr 11:26; "treasure" (in heaven or the heavens), Mat 19:21; Mar 10:21; Luk 18:22; in these expressions (which are virtually equivalent to that in Mat 6:1, "with your Father which is in Heaven") the promise does not simply refer to the present life, but looks likewise to the hereafter; in 2Cr 4:7 it is used of "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ," descriptive of the Gospel, as deposited in the earthen vessels of the persons who proclaim it ,  in Col 2:3, of the wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ.

The man in the parable was working towards an earthly habitation at the expensive of his master .   Verse 8   by preparing for his future unemployment]; for the sons of this age [the non-believers] are shrewder in relation to their own kind [that is, to the ways of the secular world] than are the sons of light [the believers].   This man was not a believer he was a worldly minded man , remember this was a parable and Jesus was speaking it to the church today.  This is the gospel of his Father and it was to all that believe in his name . 
Read the beganning of this chapter , John says he is writting to the believers those that walk in the light .     
1Jo 1:5 ASV - And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.      Light   Greek: phos  Light, Noun, and Verb (Bring To, Give), Lighten:
akin to phao, "to give light" (from roots pha--, and phan--, expressing "light as seen by the eye," and, metaphorically, as "reaching the mind," whence phaino, "to make to appear," phaneros, "evident," etc.); cp. Eng., "phosphorus" (lit., "light-bearing"). "Primarily light is a luminous emanation, probably of force, from certain bodies, which enables the eye to discern form and color. Light requires an organ adapted for its reception (Mat 6:22). Where the eye is absent, or where it has become impaired from any cause, light is useless. Man, naturally, is incapable of receiving spiritual light inasmuch as he lacks the capacity for spiritual things, 1Cr 2:14. Hence believers are called 'sons of light,' Luk 16:8, not merely because they have received a revelation from God, but because in the New Birth they have received the spiritual capacity for it.    New Birth what does that entail       Eph 4:24 ASV - and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth. 
  Greek: neos    New:     Col 3:10 (neos) stresses the fact of the believer's "new" experience, recently begun, and still proceeding. "The old man in him... dates as far back as Adam; a new man has been born, who therefore is fitly so called"
Col 3:10 ASV - and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:      Image     Greek: eikon         Image:   of Christ in relation to God, 2Cr 4:4, "the image of God," i.e., essentially and absolutely the perfect expression and representation of the Archetype, God the Father; in Col 1:15, "the image of the invisible God" gives the additional thought suggested by the word "invisible," that Christ is the visible representation and manifestation of God to created beings; the likeness expressed in this manifestation is involved in the essential relations in the Godhead, and is therefore unique and perfect; "he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father," Jhn 14:9. "The epithet "invisible."... must not be confined to the apprehension of the bodily senses, but will include the cognizance of the inward eye also
 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:   
      Light     metaphorically, of "moral and spiritual darkness," e.g., Mat 6:23; Luk 1:79; 11:35; Jhn 3:19; Act 26:18; 2Cr 6:14; Eph 6:12; Col 1:13; 1Th 5:4, 5; 1Pe 2:9; 1Jo 1:6;
Heb 13:5 ASV - Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.     The word of God is explicit as to how we should give .   Its giving to the work of God and that work is to further the true gospel of God that Jesus preached .

The kingdom of God is in the hearts of men it comes through Gods spirit the same spirit he gave in the beginning of the New Testament in  Acts 2 .  Jesus told his disciples to terry in Jerusalem UNTIL you be filled with power .     The same holds true today ,  Jesus told the scribes and Pharisees that because of the traditions and doctrines of your father you make void the word of God.   For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.
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.  Here is the mystery of Godliness Christ in you the hope of Glory .    Jesus was the first fruit
Jhn 14:18 ASV - I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.
Jhn 14:19 ASV - Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Jhn 14:20 ASV - In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Jhn 14:21 ASV - He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.
Jhn 14:22 ASV - Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
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.
1Co 15:20 ASV - But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
1Co 15:23 ASV - But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
Jas 1:18 ASV - Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Rev 14:4 ASV - These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb.       Defiled Greek: moluno
Defile, Defilement:
properly denotes "to besmear," as with mud or filth, "to befoul." It is used in the figurative sense, of a conscience "defiled" by sin, 1Cr 8:7; of believers who have kept themselves (their "garments") from "defilement," Rev 3:4, and those who have not "soiled" themselves by adultery or fornication, Rev 14:4.     Who have not soiled themselves ,   Speaking of the bride of Christ the elect holy and pure .  Having not spot or wrinkle on their garments.
Defiled with women it is more that adultery as the consensuses of the everyday church  .    Adultery is a work of mans flesh .      Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,    idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,    envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.   All of these sins will defile our hearts and bring judgement upon us.    The woman here is the apostate church and the preaching of another gospel .   Man and his inability to conform to Gods word the true gospel .   The church today has no cross to bear no need for death to self  no clean fear of God   .  Romans 6   and the separation of the flesh and the spirit .  
Gal 5:22 ASV - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23 ASV - meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 ASV - And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
Gal 5:25 ASV - If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.

Rev 16:15 ASV - (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.)      Garment    Greek: himation   Vesture:
"an outer garment," is rendered "vesture" in Rev 19:13, 16, AV
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.
Remember the man at the wedding feast of the son
Mat 22:10 ASV - And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.   Gods calling in our life's to come walk before him in holiness and righteousness.
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:    Now what the King saw was that this man was fleshly he was soiled and spotted with the world .  His life was indicative of the world and its lust .  He was still living in his corruptible flesh.        
1Co 15:48 ASV - As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Co 15:49 ASV - And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
 1Co 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co 15:52 ASV - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.     That flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption
1Co 15:53 ASV - For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
 This parable is at the end of all things .      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.     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.     She has made herself ready ,  taking up her cross and following the words of Christ .  Working out her own salvation with fear and trembling .     That is you and I      

 Phl 3:18 ASV - For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Phl 3:19 ASV - whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
Phl 3:20 ASV - For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Phl 3:21 ASV - who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.      Luke 24:35 -53  
1Co 15:52 ASV - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 ASV - For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 ASV - But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 ASV - O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?
1Co 15:56 ASV - The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

All Righteousness Being Fulfilled In You , The Hope Of Glory

             
Luk 4:17 ASV - And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
Luk 4:18 ASV - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luk 4:19 ASV - To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luk 4:20 ASV - And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luk 4:21 ASV - And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised .   Jesus was anointed  from the beginning of time for this very day , today your live and your soul your walk .  No other in the past or in the future has brought the this healing power this anointing to save to heal and deliver man from his evil nature.  Good men do not go to heaven good works will not save you .  Not by works of righteousness which WE! have done , but according to his mercy he saved US! .   Men with out the truth of this gospel are lost and walking in darkness .  He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives ,  we  were at one time captive to our worldly appetites , the lust of our flesh the pride of the life we are living with out the Gospel working in us.  It is not repeating a few words and there you are saved , you get it all when you confess the scripture that Jesus is Lord.  That is not quite what the word says , there is a commitment in being saved in being held .  This word held is also to be saved .  Remember John the baptist came before Jesus he had to , the only way we can be saved according to this gospel is to obey it fully.   John came baptizing with the baptism of Repentance ,  with out being fully repentant in our hearts the word of grace still waits to enter into our life's .  God calls a man to repentance and gives his grace to a man that is sorry for his sins and desires to inter in to Gods kingdom .  Salvation is a GIFT of God to all mankind.          
Mat 11:11 ASV - Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.    John was the fulfilling of the new dispensation of grace to the world ,  John had to come first and prepare the hearts of men to receive this great grace.  
  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:ad to come first and prepair the hearts of men to receive this great grace.   Repentance     Greek: metanoia   Repent, Repentance:           the mercy of God in giving "repentance" or leading men to it is set forth, e.g., in Act 5:31; 11:18; Rom 2:4; 2Ti 2:25.  In the NT the subject chiefly has reference to "repentance" from sin, and this change of mind involves both a turning from sin and a turning to God.    Repentance is a GIFT of God , it comes through his calling of men.  This is not a feel good experience something the church does as a formality , even water baptism is a sacred confession unto God you desire to change and walk in his gospel.   
Rom 10:8 ASV - But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
Rom 10:9 ASV - because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
Rom 10:10 ASV - for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  The words Faith and Believe are very important to understand .
2Ti 2:21 ASV - If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master's use, prepared unto every good work.
2Ti 2:22 ASV - But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.    Faith  Greek: pistis  Belief, Believe, Believers:
"faith," is translated "belief" in Rom 10:17; 2Th 2:13. Its chief significance is a conviction respecting God and His Word and the believer's relationship to Him.   Faith is a gift from God to us to build thereon to walk in his faith and obey his calling. We are saved by grace it is a gift of Faith from God to walk in.

   Grace   Greek: charis Benefit, Benefactor:

Jhn 8:39 ASV - They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.   Abraham was the father of great faith in God .    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:    God has given us the right to become his children ,   If we are born of God and becoming his children as this wonderful word says we also should be doing the works of Jesus .  Jesus gave commandants to his church to follow .  He came with the anointing to set the captives free from the corrupt nature of Adams blood . And be born again unto a new nature a new man having a new spirit .  David said create in me a clean heart oh God and renew a right spirit in me .
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.  Every man born on this earth is of Adam and his blood . Being born again of Gods spirit is the anointing Jesus brings to Gods children .  Being saved and healed is not a few words on a Sunday morning and than go your way back to your old nature.       
 1Pe 2:24 ASV - who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.    This verse is speaking of complete salvation healed in our Spirits , Minds and in our Bodies .
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   Greek: holoteles   Whole (Made), Wholly, Wholesome:
"wholly," 1Th 5:23, is lit., "whole-complete" (A, No. 1, and telos, "an end"), i.e., "through and through;" the Apostle's desire is that the sanctification of the believer may extend to every part of his being. The word is similar in meaning to No. 4; holokleros draws attention to the person as a "whole," holoteles, to the several parts which constitute him.
Jesus brought the true words of his Father , he proclaimed his fathers words to us the Good News that will set men free and open the eyes of the blind open prison doors .     Luk 7:20 ASV - And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying,  Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?    I believe John as encouraged to hear the gospel being preached and received by the power in that Gospel. He just wanted to know Jesus was still alive and fulfilling his anointing of the father ,   I believe he than rested in his calling. And what ever came afterwards was Gods will .   Now the scriptures below are not preached any longer as to the Church manifesting this power ,  men in their prideful religions have in there own knowledge brought another gospel not of God . A weak and powerless word of failure .  Mark 16 has never died it is still the same as when Jesus spoke it to not only his disciples there at that moment but to you and the future world there is a hope beyond mans reasoning and fleshly minds.

Mar 16:14 ASV - And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen.     Faith and belief is what Jesus is saying here they still had walk to walk and walk in their repentance .
Mar 16:15 ASV - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.    All the world !   as to the gospel being preached through the whole world from the beginning of Christ ministry to the end of all things . This is not speaking about the demographic's of the world the globe . This is speaking also as to Peter saying in
 Act 2:21 ASV - And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.                                The word name here is the power to over come by that faith that mercy and grace that was afforded to us through the blood of Jesus  .   When the word  says in the name of Jesus   ,          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.       For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.            Repent      Greek: metanoeo  Repent, Repentance:
lit., "to perceive afterwards" (meta, "after," implying "change," noeo, "to perceive;" nous, "the mind, the seat of moral reflection"), in contrast to pronoeo, "to perceive beforehand," hence signifies "to change one's mind or purpose," always, in the NT, involving a change for the better, an amendment, and always    
Name Greek: onoma  Name:    for all that a "name" implies, of authority, character, rank, majesty, power, excellence, etc., of everything that the "name" covers:    (a) of the "Name" of God as expressing His attributes, etc., e.g., Mat 6:9; Luk 1:49; Jhn 12:28; 17:6, 26; Rom 15:9; 1Ti 6:1; Hbr 13:15; Rev 13:6;   The Jews said they had Abraham to be their father , Jesus said if Abraham was your father you would be doing the works of Abraham .   So as we say we are of Jesus he is our Lord and King our ever lasting life ,  we should be doing the works of Jesus .   Jesus told them in   Luk 6:5 ASV - And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.                   Jesus is the beginning and the end of all things he was says there is no other Gospel that his fathers Gospel and he is the Lord of this universe .   Grace and mercy has come to you he said David ate the shew bread and gave it to his men . But what about the Law and the commandments only the priest were allowed to eat the loaves of bread before the candle sticks of light .    Jesus was saying he was the fulfilling of the Law , at that moment he was the Lord of the Law and his gospel was the fulfilling of the Law.  David he was the mercy and grace of God the father through his sacrifice the power of the grace of God .
Mat 3:13 ASV - Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.            Jesus was with out sin he was full of light , he was the sinless lamb of God . So why would Jesus go to John to be baptized , John only baptized with baptism of Repentance .     Jesus was the example of all righteousness he was an example unto us all by showing us the way unto salvation was through repentance .     Suffer it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.

Jhn 14:3 ASV - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.        Jesus as speaking of his death burial and his resurrection .   And we must all die to our carnal self's on our cross and be buried in water to receive that newness of life . It is the fulfilling of all righteousness to our salvation
Jhn 14:4 ASV - And whither I go, ye know the way.  What is the way Jesus is speaking of here ,   Mat 10:38 ASV - And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Jhn 14:5 ASV - Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?     We are in a walk here a daily walk of obedience and sacrifice of our old man on our cross .   These men were actually seeing the fulfilling of scripture coming to life through the flesh of Christ .  The prophetic word coming to life before them
Jhn 14:6 ASV - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.     Jesus is saying here that you must be born again to see the kingdom of God .  Jesus told the scribes and the Pharisees when they ask when will we see this kingdom come into view .

Luk 17:21 ASV - neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.     The kingdom is to be filled with Gods spirit just as the book of Acts 2 . The life of Jesus is his abiding in you His way was death to self , the truth is your obedience to his fathers Gospel and the life is that fulfilling of his righteousness coming to live in you.                  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 6:47 ASV - Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:
Luk 6:48 ASV - he is like a man building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded.     The house here is your soul , your walking before his cross daily always  working out your own salvation with fear and with trembling .    Rom 9:22 ASV - What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:
