THE LIGHT BRINGER
The word lucifer we read in English is translated from two Latin root words: The first-word being 'lux' which means light and the second is 'ferre' meaning to carry. In Latin lucifer means “light bearer” or “light bringer,” it was not originally used in connection with the devil nor initially translated to render the common modern-day interpretation. "Lucifer" as an English word has come to mean Satan through ignorance carried by tradition.
The 1611 King James Version of the Bible is translated from Latin which was translated from both Hebrew and Greek and this process made the common word a proper noun. That's how Lucifer got his capital L and the intended description became an identity. In turn, Isaiah's parable became an origin story and the lesson the prophet taught was lost. While today lucifer is used as the proper name of the devil before his fall from grace, its because the Latin word was kept in place and not translated by its proper definition. The King James translation turned what was originally an adjective (in reference to a Babylonian king) into Satan's name by allusion.
In Isaiah chapter 14, the prophet is using a parable to describe how one can fall due to their spiritual understanding and becoming "puffed up" in the pride of their own knowledge. "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." - Isaiah 14:12-15 KJV
Within the King James Bible, this is the only time the word lucifer is written. The Hebrew word Isaiah used is 'helel' (pronounced hay-lale') which simply means 'shining one.' Have you ever heard someone say "let me shed some light on this"...? It's like that. Now picture such in relation to the revelations of God's word.
The Apostle Paul reiterates the same thing in the New Testament as was in the Old, "lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." - 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 KJV
Both Isaiah and Paul are writing the same message of God's chastisement for inappropriately behaving, lacking humility and meekness in their presentation, lacking spiritual maturity in how-to handle heavenly wisdom, the Glory of the Lord upon one who's unbecoming of such, misrepresenting God's character before those they've enlightened; And while Isaiah describes such from the 3rd person's point of view, Paul does so from the 1st person's perspective.
Ultimately both passages serve as warnings of the consequences of erroring into spiritual pride and the chastisement from the Lord to follow because of such; That's really all there is to it. If you can receive it you'll do well to take away the fear of the devil which is your power through the resurrection of Christ Jesus our Lord. May his everlasting grace and mercy be with you all, God bless and take care.
"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." - Isaiah 60:1-2 KJV

We Need Your Support
"Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel." - 1 Corinthians 9:14 KJV
Brothers and Sisters, the message I have been given to preach is Christ crucified, that which leads to His righteousness nothing more, nothing less. Whereas I am willing to reason by the scriptures with those of conflicting viewpoints as to present something, once the conclusion of the matter has been weighed by the word of God and proven to point to Christ by keeping his commandments, it is final. Therefore, a topic is no longer open for debate, to do so afterward is contention and will not be tolerated as such subverts the Gospel distracting from the truth in Christ Jesus our Lord and the common salvation available for all that believe. Either someone accepts the message or they do not. I teach by simply presenting the scriptures in context, using the original Greek and Hebrew words if necessary to properly explain their meaning--largely in a spiritual context, for tho be spiritually minded is life and peace-- Then demonstrate how such can be practically applied to our lives.
If you disagree with something I have posted, feel free to present your point of view void of accusation and by your understanding of the word of God let us reason together. If I am in error and you can show how my doctrine does not keep the commandments of Jesus Christ, I will have learned something; But know that the personalization of sin, name calling due to disagreements in interpretation as well as arguing whose greater is evidence of corrupt fruit and condemnation leads no one to salvation. Until then Saints please remember to love one another as you would have them love you and keep in mind that it is hard to assess tone via text.
Your relationship with God is like a brilliant diamond and what I say to you is as a gold ring. I am suggesting that placing your diamond in the setting of this gold ring will enhance its beauty. The ring does not diminish the jewel but rather serves to present the jewel in a different light than seen before. You can always choose to remove it if it doesn't fit right after you try it on, but I assure you, the jewel will feel lighter in the ring than not. So, if you try on the ring and like what it does for you, it's yours to keep. :-)
"The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever. And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose; Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

What Do You Celebrate?
"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" - Matthew 6:22-23 KJV
What do you see you are glorifying in your heart?
With Christmas approaching us quickly, I offer you a brief testimony as to shed light on how we can error into attempting to serve the Lord as I did. The 1st commandment is Love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul and that's what most of try to do. How we go about it though is were people error as there are many wrong ways that look like they lead to the right place.
Do you see it as the spirit of Christmas or Christmas spirit?
The Apostle Paul writes, "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure, but even their mind and conscience is defiled." - 1 Titus 1:15 KJV
There was a time I accepted and used Santa Claus as an image that represented Christmas then I got mixed up in really bad doctrines that seemed right, I mean they sounded good, but all of which promoted the spirit of fear in the end.
During that time Santa became Satan Claus, but then the bondage became so tight that I was condemning my own mother. I was so suffocated that I couldn't even walk through Walmart without purposely avoiding the holiday aisle. Television commercials, they got immediately rebuked, (the devil ain't coming into my house was the idea) and almost every Christmas movie I grew up around or my relatives had on in the background that mentioned or showed a version of Santa I couldn't resist thinking to myself how programmed everyone else in the room was... God forbid people wore related Ho-Ho-Ho clothing as that was just evidence of my suspicions. 😳 Although I couldn't say anything to them that doctrine kept my conscience defiled as I judged my neighbors as inferior to that of myself and their legitimate viewpoints and opinions became to me that of demonically influenced due to the multitude of idols that they "unknowingly" worshiped and this was the truth of Christ I was taught...
"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." - Titus 1:16 KJV
All of my works to were done to separate myself ultimately were for naught. The holiday season became grievous were as before it was joyous. I was celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, but being "awakened" to the "truth" and seeing December 25th no longer as the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Why? because 2300 years ago the Babylonians used the day to celebrate "the feast of the son of Isis" and that related to their gods Horus and Osiris. Or was it Tammuz who was born then with Nimrod and Semiramis and the sun worship of the Mesopotamian gods? The ancient Romans worshiped Mithras on Dec 25th with a weeklong "pre-worship" to their god Saturn; All of which included eating and drinking together with family and friends. Every one of those cultures from a different part of the world has long since passed into history and I having known nothing of them found myself judging people today by what others from an unrelated past did; And in my own mind, I was serving the Lord. I did not realize I was in bondage, that I had become miserable, that I was condemning people who only saw me as self-righteous.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." - John 3:16-17 KJV
To me, I was sold out for Christ, but to them, I was no longer easy to talk to. We got rid of our Christmas tree and basically skipped Christmas for two years. Two years of missed memories decorating with my wife and son almost guilty for exchanging gifts, questioning if it is right, repenting for doing such, allowing Satan to run ruff shot throughout my mind not living in agreement with the "spirit of Christmas." The Apostle Jude says in verse 19 "They separate themselves not having the Spirit" and that's true for it is God who separates us from the world and "the world is placed in the heart of every man that he would not know the end from the beginning" (Ecc 3:11) When the Lord came to me and called me by my name everything then changed. To me now Santa is not an image of the devil nor a replacement for Christ, he is just a related theme that goes with the season. We don't celebrate Santa Claus as my folks did, but I no longer see him as evil either, he literally makes no difference to me and I have the ability to enjoy the time I have here with friends and family to be the light if they so choose to watch a movie that involves Santa Claus, he is as real as Star Wars and suspending disbelief if-you-will, is the freedom in Christ when greater is He that is in thee than he that in the world, for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty and the emotions, the peace of Christmas, knowing that our Savior was born that we may live free from such types of requirements is to me now what Christmas spirit is all about.
"And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid." - Luke 2:4-9 KJV
We serve an invisible God who we've been accustomed to being represented by the image of what we think is Jesus Christ though we have no idea nowadays what he looked like, just a general consensus yet, most Christians believe it's okay to have this imagery within their home. So it is a matter of the heart, the interior and there are those who believe such to be idols as well and condemn others for owning pictures of Jesus. All of this is rooted in fear due to the lack of confidence in Christ. So by default, naturally we put up walls of circumcision to a eschew that which we see as evil. This is self-righteousness, one is made righteous by what it is denied when the circumcision is within made without hands, not by them, but by the Lord. The Apostle Peter writes, "not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God" (1 Pt 3:21) for it is by the resurrection of Christ within that becomes that circumcision from the world in that we neither live nor die unto men, but unto the Lord. It is no longer about their expectations and opinions, but by his word rightfully divided that is measured by whether it breaks the 2nd commandment of Christ.
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." - Luke 2:10-15 KJV
Ultimately, Santa Claus is a man-made idea of the world to promote good cheer in the colder months of the year, nothing more, nothing less. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord and continue to celebrate Christmas in remembrance of our Lord's birthday, loving one another as Christ has so loved us.
"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." - Acts 20:29-35 KJV
May the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you all, God bless and take care.

KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS
There are a certain who, even today that would teach you to fear material things that contain no breath. That promote renouncing the devil over repenting to the Lord and if they do repent it is not for breaking the commandments of Christ, but for associations based on the fear of the world and the lust thereof. What is infirmity but weakness? How then can one prosper in the spirit confirmed to the guiles of the flesh? If greater is He that's in me than he that is in the world why does the fear of the world remain? Taking one step forward and two steps back only lead one direction. "But my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” (Heb 10:38)
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." - Matthew 7:13-20 KJV
Jesus said that a good tree CANNOT produce corrupt fruit and neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit so, it is impossible for those who subscribe to fear-based doctrines to be considered good in the Lord's eyes. I write this for your benefit, for sometimes we make the wrong choices to get to the right place and unless we recognize when we are on the wrong path before we get to the right place, we will not be able to enter in.
On your day before the Lord when he asked "Did you keep my commandments?" and your heart leaps out of your mouth with an answer before you can consider the question, knowing you are in agreement with your confession, reminded of the times you knew to do right, but chose to do wrong, recalling the memories of undone recompense towards your neighbors, whether they are your parents, siblings, spouses, co-workers, etc. On your day will you be able to stand and say yes or does your righteousness come from the removal of dreamcatchers, secular media, jewelry, and condemning those who do not agree with you? It is important to understand what self-righteousness in the eyes of God.
---How can we live if the whole world lies in wickness?---
"We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. " - 1 John 5:18-19 KJV
The question then becomes, what is sin?
The Apostle Peter writes, "The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him." - 1 Peter 3:21-22 KJV
Though water baptism saves people in the reminder that their sin has been washed away, the "putting away of the filth of the flesh" makes no difference in one's salvation. When you think about it, what someone calls filth another does not. Therefore, let no man tell you what to circumcise from your home as to be made righteous before the Lord. Rather recognize that person as a judge weighing everyone else by the standards they personally keep. Understand folks, it's the devil's job to make things appear unclean to a person. This way he keeps them in bondage by what they can't have or do. And then the only logical course of action is to reject powerless material possessions and deny seemingly joyful daily activities & holidays as to be considered righteous before God. This is called circumcision it makes people debtors to the law of Moses.
"But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith." - Galatians 3:11 KJV
This is a subtle work that begets self-righteousness for then men count themselves holier-than-thou judging one another by what they can no longer personally have or do, comparing others to themselves, and teaching others to do the same. All the while they think this is the freedom Christ died on the cross for them to obtain, woe unto all who are deceived.
"Let us not, therefore, judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean." - Romans 14:13-14 KJV
---Have your interest changed or has your heart changed?---
False gospels create false converts and the transformation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ changes the heart, not just the focus of the person. The good conscience Peter spoke of is manifest in the namesake of Christ Jesus which is assuring one's heart they have kept his commandments, nothing more nothing less. Remember His commandments are not grievous. (1 Jn 5:3) Peter goes on to say, the Jesus is seated on the right hand of God and that "angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him." So, if every force both good and bad are subject to the Lord, it is then by fear of the evil of the world, of devils, and spirit doorways, curses, and so on not the fear of the Lord in that the trust him and his eternal love and saving grace. So, men remove what they consider evil and malicious out of their homes based on the seducing righteous judgment of those who judge them to be not as holy as themselves; And all that follow these divine discerners might as well bare with them.
Its simple Saints, either you believe Jesus Christ or you don't.
"And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." - Mark 7:14-16 KJV
Now if you would rather take to heart another man's opinionated tradition or commandment that says anything to the contrary of Christ and make that the law that you live by then you might as well bear with that man who manipulates you with fear. Therefore, repent and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; Know that the Lord does not give you the spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7)
Reality check: if you do not believe upon the words Jesus spoke as the ONLY truth, what does that make you? Be not deceived.
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness." - 1 Timothy 4:1-7 KJV
Judgemental theology does just that, it judges people to be worthy before the Lord. Know that Jesus never said "you have open doors I can't cast out that devil" He does not condemn the world, He is its atonement. He never said, "I can't heal you until you forgive so let's go through the people you may have ought against then we'll talk." ...
"And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees." - Matthew 16:5-12 KJV
Consider these things and repent, for truly time is short and no one is guaranteed tomorrow; And for those enduring until the end, continue to stand fast in your confession and be not persuaded otherwise, for no man can serve two masters as he will love one and hate the other; And may the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you all, God bless and take care

LOVE IS BLIND
"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" - Matthew 6:22-23 KJV
There are two perceptions in Christianity, one comes from those still under the Law of Moses which Paul calls the ministry of condemnation and those whom the Lord has changed though his judgments. Excluding specific doctrines and denominations, there is Christ crucified and everything else.
"Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?" - Habakkuk 1:13 KJV
Two categories of which one's beliefs and thereby their perception can be measured by how they interpret the word of God. Jesus said we are to "judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment." (Jn 7:24) Therefore, here are a few examples that demonstrate the different perceptions.
"Abstain from all appearance of evil." - 1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV
It is commonly believed that that verse implies what one views to be evil they are to stay away from and especially not to cause others to stumble in entertaining such, nevertheless, this ideal is contrary to what Jesus taught.
"And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth." - John 9:39-41 KJV
Because the Pharisees continued to see that which was evil their own sin remained. They could not love their neighbor AS themselves if their neighbor was a sinner, but they were not for every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but God weighs the heart (Prov 21:2) Jesus was perceived to be and called a sinner (Jn 9:16) a drunk, gluttonous, a friend of sinners and publicans, (Matt 11:19) accused to have a devil (Jn 7:20, 8:48,10:20) to be working by the power of the prince of the devils, Beelzebub so much so that after he raised Lazarus from the dead the religious leaders of his day interpreted the chief priest's prophecy, not as the fulfillment of scripture they all knew, but that Jesus should die by decree of the Lord in order to save Israel from him; And they did so, because the covetousness of their own hardened hearts blinded him to them.
"And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death." - John 11:49-53 KJV
Is the servant greater than the master? To abstain from all appearance of evil is to cease looking at it. To willingly look past what clearly jumps out at you and says "judge me" for it is the same now as it was in the beginning.
"And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God." - Genesis 6:5-9 KJV
We know that God is not a respecter of persons which means he doesn't play favorites, all have an equal opportunity to abide where they are called. So where some read that as Noah being special in God's eyes they do so because the following verse says he was perfect in his generations. This perpetuates the idea that the word was destroyed due to corruption of DNA from the procreation between fallen Angles and human women from verses 4-5, but this too is false. Noah found grace seeing as God saw, he "found grace in the eyes of the LORD" and was perfect in his generations for the English word generations is the ancient Hebrew word dor which means period or dwelling as well. Noah a preacher of righteousness was considered to be blameless in his time with God, for God tested Noah's faith and endurance as Jesus says his disciples will also be tested and he who endure until the end, the same shall be saved. (Matt 24:13)
"For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved." - Isaiah 64:4-5 KJV
Therefore, examine yourself, what are you focused upon in the name of the Lord? All things are in deed lawful, but all things edify not, be not brought under the power of any; And be regenerated, washed afresh, a new, though repentance unto God for no man is good and all have fallen short of the Glory of God. "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." -1 Timothy 1:15 KJV
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, God bless and take care.

God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are...
“For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.” - Matthew 11:18-19 KJV
Notice the way Satan attacks, he'll judge you no matter what you do, you can't win. He will call attention to your perceived faults to convince those who are already carnally minded to form an opinion of you, thereby the devil opens a door into them as well.
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." - Matthew 7:1-6 KJV
Jesus calls these people hypocrites, dogs, swine, later he says to Peter "Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men." - Matthew 16:23 KJV
If you cast your pearls (your efforts) before pigs (people) and they turn and rend you its, because they have already judged you and allowed Satan to deceive them. The devil is trying to offend you through them so he can have access to you. The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. These people are carnally minded for the god of this world has blinded them from receiving the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ, they think they are right, justifying themselves by the law. They are naturally proud having amity with God and claiming "foolishness" of your faults to others.
But you are of the spirit which is judged of no man. Having receive Jesus Christ the world hates you, because it hated him first. Remember, brush the dirt off your shoulders (shake the dust off your feet) and forgive them for they know not what they do. Loose them on earth so that they may be loosed in Heaven. Forgive them so your heavenly father will forgive you. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done in earth (Adam was made of Earth, thus in Earth is in you) as it is in Heaven (the Kingdom of Heaven is in you therefore, hone your flesh to the Spirit). Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses AS we forgive those who trespass against us...
"Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."
Now that they have sinned by trespassing against you, remit their sins otherwise you'll retain them and fail to properly discern the Lord's body judging them in return.
"For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world." - 1 Corinthians 11:30-32 NKJV
Beware of the leavened doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees for a little leaven leavens the whole lump, of earth.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you all, God bless and take care.

Trials of Righteousness, the ‘be attitudes'
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” – Revelation 3:8 KJV
These verses in Revelation 3:7-13 are a continuation of this teaching Jesus started in Sermon on the Mount.
"And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.”- Luke 6:20-23 KJV
Jesus is encouraging us, because this will never feel like a blessing. Even though he tells us to leap for joy, at first this will not be apparent as to why.
Being rejected for doctrinal differences will most certainly cause both parties hurt due to our inherently prideful nature. Our place in Christ, our understanding will be called into question and sometimes even our character and or direction by those who have been blinded for this very purpose. Therefore, offenses must come, the tempter must come. Satan will then attempt to persuade all involved to slander one another, and to sew discord among the brethren which is an abomination unto the Lord.
Getting us to profess ourselves to be wise will in turn, make us foolish as the Galatians. Thus, being bewitched into temptation to justify ourselves over each other, consuming one another in anger, places us under the law of Moses; this is where the devil operates to destroy us and he'll start with our faith.
He will tell us that we are just in Christ (because he is a liar) and when our prayers are not answered, because we ask amiss so that we may glorify ourselves. The devil will say to us that we don’t understand the gospel and when we stood for Christ, living by every word of God, we were wrong. He will tempt us to believe their (his) accusations and that we ‘need to just do a little more’ and ‘try harder’ to be righteous and please God. Keep in mind, whatever door Jesus shuts, no one can open and the door will not swing both ways where you used to be. If you return without the Lord opening that door, you will not be received. The son of man has no place to lay his head. There will be unresolved issues that will continue on, this is persecution for his names sake.
Hold fast and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven! You are coming out of the world and now longer partaking in Babylon’s sins and it has nothing to do with anything except your heart.
“But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.” – Luke 6:24-25 KJV
Jesus then rebukes the rebellious house that has reproached the son of man. He is not warning against riches of money, but knowledge. Remember knowledge puffs up both in ego and sin. The apostle Paul speaks of this in Romans 3 and states in verses 19 & 20 “Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore, by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Arguing over who is just in a matter, keeps us and places us under the law. If we argue that we are justified by Christ, taking such position is actually sin.
“But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.” – Galatians 2:17 KJV
Speaking on the process of moving from the under the law into grace in the book of Hebrews, the apostle Paul reaffirms Jesus' rebuke. "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?" - Hebrews 10:29 KJV
Thus, truly every mouth should be stopped for all are guilty. If we’ve ever gotten into an argument with anyone in church, we are guilty as well. It’s plain and simple. No worries though, repent and be washed a new, cleansed by precious blood of Jesus Christ. Go to them, forgive them and ask them to forgive you so that they can be healed as well. Then our heavenly father will forgive us, all we have to do is ask.
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.” – Titus 3:5 KJV
Paul goes on to say in Romans 3- “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.” – Romans 3:21-22 NKJV
The key phrase here is ‘through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe’. The righteousness of God is given to all (if they accept it) and on all who believe in it. If we don’t believe we’ve done something wrong, we haven’t humbled ourselves and accepted that we’re guilty, even though God says we are; for we are still holding on to justifying ourselves.
This is rebellion and will harden our hearts in the hour of temptation, the day of provocation and will leave us with an evil heart of unbelief. All because, we did not know the Lord’s ways the Holy Spirit swears in his wrath we will not have rest per Hebrews 3.
The flip side of the coin, is the righteousness of Christ and letting them justify themselves then casting your care upon the Lord for vengeance is his, but we have to forgive them first; this is our trial.
“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.” – Romans 8:33 KJV
When Jesus appeared to the apostle John he spoke about the seven churches, the seven trials we are to go through in Christ. He gave instruction to the angel (ministering spirit) of the church of Philadelphia, which means brotherly love; define ironic.
“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” – Revelation 3:10 KJV
Previously he calls this church the synagogue of Satan, why? Because of the knowledge of one another's perceived sins, the idea that “I’m right and your wrong”, the refusal treat each other in mercy and bear on another’s burdens will not allow us to fulfill the law by changing our heart and mind over to Christ. If we hold to the idea that we are just in an argument, it makes us guilty, end of story.
Satan is our will conformed unto pride. He is an unmerciful adversary that tells us how wrong everyone else is as well as how right they are. The path is a narrow one in deed.
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you," - Luke 6:22-27 KJV
When everyone tells you how great you are, understand you are being attacked with pride. Jesus identifies these people that say such as our enemies! Then he instructs us to love them and do good unto them that hate us. This is a trial, just the same.
How many times have you heard someone that hates you, speak well of you?
"A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice." - Proverbs 29:5-6 KJV
They have a double heart worshiping the creature and the creator, worshiping themselves in the name of God. Therefore, anything that serves their purpose will be exalted; God says this type of praise is evil and cast a snare.
True love isn't afraid (perfect love cast out all fear) to tell you what they see that you could change in order to be pleasing to the Lord, judged by His word as to save you from the second death. To be in Christ is to no longer be about you... Even though compliments feel good, always point to Jesus. Be mindful when praise is abound, lest you fall into such net.
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees...
ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:18-21 KJV
Keep the word of his patients and love those who persecute you for his namesake, forgive them and bless them, for they know not what they do. Praise God for these trials that mold us into His righteous, that exceeds the righteousness of the Scribes and the Pharisees. Praise God for his judgment for he loves us to chasten us, that we should not be condemned with the world.
May the grace of the lord Jesus Christ be upon you all, God bless and take care.

Love never fails
The difference between hearing an excuse and an explanation is that, an explanation is allowed opportunity.
"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NKJV

Who's fault is it?
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33 KJV
The verse says seek FIRST the kingdom, but sometimes the kingdom of God comes in at 30th or 60th, if at all that day on our list of things to do. Then we wonder, "has God forgotten about me?" When things don't go our way.
So who forgot about who?

Christians will not receive you, when you're a disciple of Jesus Christ.
~ The Parable of Patches and Wineskins ~
"No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: if otherwise, then both the new makes a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agrees not with the old. else the new piece that filled it up takes away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will break the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles will be marred and shall perish. Therefore, new wine must be put into new bottles; and then both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desires new: for he says, the old is better."
Luke 5:36-39, Matthew 9:16-17, Mark 2:21-22
- The Carnally Minded Church -
"“You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, such as wool and linen mixed together." - Deuteronomy 22:11 NKJV
When Jesus Christ changes our clothes, our garments from the old one spotted by the flesh into the white raiment of the saints it is a spiritual change that occurs within. Our entire thought process has been altered from the old carnal nature into the newness of the spirit. Our eyes have been opened, our heart has began to be circumcised into His righteousness. Jesus also said that no man putting their hand to the plow and then looking back is fit for the kingdom of heaven, why? Because, the new viewpoint will conflict with the old doctrine. How can two walk together if they not agree?
The apostle Paul tells us "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." - Galatians 5:17 KJV
The new piece that would be sewed into where the old used to reside will call into light the darkness of the carnal doctrine and will cause contentions and division therefore, taking away from the old and the rent, the tearing will be made worse. This rent is the emotion fueled opinions of the people who will feel criticized and challenged by the new perception and will not receive you because they have not received Christ. This is not to say they do not love God for they preach about him, but have either been lead off the narrow path falling into the error of the Galatians or have not been transformed by the Holy Spirit due to their own lack of humility or a false doctrine; the traditions of men, the doctrine of demons.
So when new light is shed upon the old it will offend, and Satan will deceive them into judgment and the rent will be made worse due to the related hurt, unforgivenness, and so forth.
- The Spiritually Minded Church -
So the new wine (revelations) will not be able to be digested, like strong meat. Jesus tells us in the the parable of the seed sewer that it is not the fault of the sewer, but the issue is rather that those who hear the message are not able to receive it. For they have no foundation in Christ, demonic activity, or being conformed to this world so much that Satan snatches away the seed and they forget the message. Yet they operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, because the gifts of the Spirit are without repentance; meaning, at one point in their lives they were on the right path and have been led astray. Therefore, if one does not repent they still can operate within the gifts. All the while thinking they are in God's good grace, becoming workers of inequity for the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet.
Jesus speaks about this in the book of Matthew-
"Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand." - Matt 24:23-25 NKJV
The result of pouring new wine into old bottles will cause the old to to break and become disfigured, to become scared in the eyes of God. The preachers of the old doctrine (the old wine) will become worth with the preaching of the new wine, the pouring out and refuse to receive it, listening to their carnal nature that has remained hidden within their heart and will look to discredit the message, disfiguring their righteousness in our father's eyes. Thus, they have two choices, they can either parish their flesh here through forgiveness and repentance or parish in the end succumbing to the seduction of self righteousness.
Hence, when Jesus says "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 which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." - Matthew 7:21-23 KJV
Only by doing our father's will which is repentance with they not parish in the second death."The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." - 2 Peter 3:9 KJV
The will of our father is that none shall parish.
However, the old will not initially receive the new and the key here is the word 'straightway' that Jesus uses then he tells us they will say "the old is better".
- How to handle this trial -
Both churches need Jesus to change them into new vessels, new garments, new wineskins so that they will be able to live according to the will of our father, otherwise... Thus, lay down your life and forgive their trespass. Be not consumed of one another and fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Remember, that we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, who them who are the called according to His purpose. Therefore, let go of your purpose and surrender to Christ.
"These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me." - John 16:1-3 KJV
So pray for them for Jesus tells us servile times that 'no man' is able. Men cannot make the old garment into a new one, nor change the old bottle into a new one.These branches have to be grafted into the vine, but they have to fall first and die in order to produce good fruit. There is only one who is able to do such who is our lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gave up his life for this very purpose. And be not offended at their trouble receiving the new wine ye may have, take solace in knowing your garment isn't spotted by the flesh and you will be found holy and acceptable unto the Lord at the wedding feast.
Therefore, no amount of deliverance or prayer can transform them into his righteousness for cursed is the man who puts his faith in the arm of the flesh. Forgive then saints for they know not what they do. They are God's elect as you are. Love your neighbor as yourself for you can be really wrong about being really right.
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God." - Psalm 20:7 NKJV
May the grace of our lord Jesus Christ be with you all, God bless.

~ The Spirit of the Antichrist is Religious Bondage ~
"Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." - 1 John 2:3-4 NKJV
There are some who claim not to be religious, yet are so bound by legalism in fear they strive to demonstrate their holiness, their righteousness with God is above those that are "lost" and "have no eyes to see the truth". Claiming if your not with me you're against me and those against me will scatter. Quick to quote the words of Jesus from Matthew 12:30 and placing themselves as the Christ figure by not rightfully dividing the word of God. Jesus was speaking about his righteousness, about his walk , but they will use such speaking from a personal offense.
The same of whom if you don't agree, you are wrong and or in sin. The legalistic bondage is so tight that they criticize "out of love" negating the grace our lord gave his life for us to have. Whereas mercy outweighs judgment, they already have judged you. Choosing to pluck you from the fire with fear rather than compassion; immediately resorting to condemnation as their go to method of evangelism or restoration. This is a Pharisee.
The Apostle Peter tells us in his second epistle chapter 2 v 19 in regards to false prophets, false anointings, which is the prophetic anointing that we must have in order to operate in the spirit; Peter says these folks promise others liberty, but that they themselves are the servants of corruption. This corruption is always going to have legalism mixed up in it otherwise, the devil couldn't touch someone who isn't still under the law of the old covenant in some effect. He says that if someone overcomes by this type of doctrine, they are ultimately brought into a different kind of bondage.
However, what seals the deal to test the spirits is the word of Jesus Christ himself who rebuked the pharisees by calling them blind guides straining at a gnat to swallow a camel, making something into sin that is not. Thereby, shutting up the kingdom of heaven against men, not entering into the spirit by faith, but works. Having an appearance of holiness on the exterior and omitting the weightier matters of the law which are judgment, mercy, and faith. They embody the spirit of the antichrist as well (being opposite of Christ), for they are the greatest and you are the least in most disagreements. For rarely will they agree with their adversary quickly as commanded by our lord Jesus; and if they do, it is because they don't want to argue with you because you are contentious. To them your viewpoint doesn't matter, not realizing this mindset negates the body of Christ of being humble to one another.
The old adage is you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Take note of how often did Jesus argue with the Pharisees, scribes, and chief priests. Therefore, you can win the argument or you can win Jesus.
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world." - 1 John 4:1-3 NKJV
They think they are justified by such law, due to their knowledge of sin in everyone else, thanking God that they are not like other men are, in the spirit of self righteousness proclaiming those they see in sin are damned, cursed nigh into being burned misunderstand the character of our Lord who is love. Not preaching in mercy out of love. Not on behalf of the Lord’s people that our father forgives them, for they know not what they do. Looking to be justified by the law and having not the faith that the potter has power over his clay and actually believes He shows mercy and compassion upon who He chooses...
They stand in the way of new proselytes and make them twice the child of hell then themselves having a form of godliness, but denying the power within. The power within is the kingdom of heaven that resides within all who call Jesus lord, but the pharisee will not allow for the freedom of grace. For whatsoever the law says, it says to them that are under the law.
These brothers and sisters are deceived as we all were. What is grace if not allowance, if not mercy, if not love? The understanding of God's grace can only be achieved through trials, though the humbling process that takes us from the offensive to the defensive, from a hellfire and brimstone mindset to one of compassion, from pointing at everyone to receiving everyone.
Individually we all have to come to the revelation that "I get it wrong all the time and he still forgives me when I stumble, He still loves me when I have been overcome by temptation. That my lord Jesus is a friend to publicans and sinners, so Lord please have mercy upon me for that is who I am."
Only then does every jot and titles of the law begin to pass away in us and we finally can start to enter into a relationship with the Holy Spirit, slowly being set free from the ministry of condemnation. No longer being effected by opinionated judgment of men for the root is within and the spirit is judged of no man. Living in Christ Jesus not fearing the traditions and shame of nature. Not receiving a spirit of bondage of fear, but whereby we cry Abba father! And then we just rest...
Praise be to God, the Lord Almighty who was and is and is to come, glory be to his name, his word, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ! Thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to live inside; Hallelujah!
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you all, God bless and take care.

Got it all figured out do ya?
"Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain." - 1 Corinthians 3:18-20 KJV

"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. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." - 1 John 2:15-16 KJV
Satan temps us with things that we don't have, then tells us we're good enough to have it. This makes it seem as if we are worthless without such so that we need it. Since other people have it, you should get it as well to fit in, to prove your value.
This is one of the thought processes, the toneless voice in our heads that the devil uses to gain victory in our lives more often than not. And when we take that bait and entertain that idea, suddenly we have to have that thing. That job position, that car, that house, those shoes, that phone... and that person to define us to everyone else. Thereby, placing our identity in everyone else's opinion of us and our idols.
Remember the devil doesn't come to you dressed in red, with horns, a tail, holding a pitchfork and wearing a cape. He'll come to you, showing you everything that you want; so that you can be everything that he is.
All of this is designed for one purpose to keep us from understanding who our father is. That stuff doesn’t love us back, even that person that you had to have. Are you in love with them or are you in love with the idea that you have them?
Think on that one for a moment.
The devil has so bound that the truth becomes unfathomable to even believe!
Little White Lies become commonplace to save face and thereby we justify our sin. In our hearts putting ourselves before one another for we deserve it. See we got to get ours before they got to get theirs. Its first come first serve in everything, didn't you know? And when we think this way, woe unto them who jump in line ahead... Even if we don't say anything, we did in our heart.
All of this makes it impossible to hear the Lord's direction in our lives and understand his written word to us. If we can't hear Him how can we serve if we cannot obey? If any of this sounds like you, like mistakes you've made in your life, repent brothers and sisters for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
"Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Which of you convinceth me of sin?
And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God." - John 8:43-47 KJV
The Lord's people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge thus, know the truth and thereby know your enemy.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to be upon you all, God bless and take care.
