SERVING IN NEWNESS OF LIFE SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD BY THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST a message for Pentecost 2012

SERVING IN NEWNESS OF LIFE SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD BY THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST  a message for Pentecost 2012

 

Pentecost is a time to proclaim the wonderful works of JESUS CHRIST, Acts 2: 1-15,

Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order, Ps 40:5, His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. Ps 78:4,--- Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!, Ps 107:8 , ---15, 21, 31---

Ps 111:4  He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

Ps 26:7  That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

Ps 75:1  To the Chief Musician. Set to "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

Ps 105:2  Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!

Ps 119:27  Make me understand the way of Your precepts; So shall I meditate on Your wondrous works.

Ps 145:5  I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works.

Throughout the history of ISRAEL, LORD blessed ISRAEL alongwith His wondrous works, teaching them of His majesty!

Rom 9: 4,6

4: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

5  Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

6 - Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

IT IS GOD’S CHURCH THAT HAD THE COVENANT, Eze. 16: 8, and –a prophet, Eze. 2: 5, 33: 33,  was given to that church which is considered as the land of ISRAEL, Ez 16: 1-6. IT IS PCG!

The prophet had the commission of proclaiming the abominations of Jerusalem, the land of God, so that he would have served the LORD to cleanse Jerusalem, Eze. 16: 2.

Prophet erred in vision, Isa 28:7, so the LORD had to turn to gentiles, Acts 28: 28.

Joel 2: 28-29 happened, the spirit was poured on gentiles too.

LORD’S VISION IS TO BUILD UP PCG TO MAKE THE NEW COVENANT, Eze. 16: 60-63.

 

 

HOLY SPIRIT --

John 6: 63—

63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

64  But there are some of you that believe not.-- 57  As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.

Joh 6:35  And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life.

Joh 6:48  "I am the bread of life.

58  This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

1Pe 1:16  because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

Lu 3:16- He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Jer 23: 29  Is not My word like as a fire? saith the LORD;

Jer 5: 14-I will make My words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

 

We ought to learn—from those words--

The WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST ARE LIFE-GIVING BREAD!----WE OUGHT TO EAT THEM—AND LIVE BY THEM! If you are a believer, you would live by the words of JESUS CHRIST forever! THEY ARE SPIRIT—HOLY SPIRIT

JESUS CHRIST would baptize with His spirit and fire---the words would burn the wickedness of His people to purify them TO SERVE HIM!

Eze. 18: 30 -Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

31  Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

32  For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

ISRAEL SHOULD GET A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT TO LIVE!

 

Mt 4:4  But He answered and said, "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’"

HIS WORDS—THEY ARE SPIRIT—THEY ARE LIFE--

1Ki 2:3  "And keep the charge of the LORD your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies,---

Words are categorized –they are all words of life!

If you do against them you err, and sin!

All prophets foretold of JESUS CHRIST, Acts 3: 21-24, JESUS CHRIST came to bless and turn men from iniquities, acts 3: 26, Mt 1: 21.

 

RESURRECTION

We see that through Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His rigteousness unto holiness, vs 19, 22, a believer would be raised in newness of life.

Ro 6: 5  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection:

6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7  For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him:

9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

THEREFORE A BELIEVER WHO BAPTIZES INTO JESUS CHRIST, WOULD BE RESURRECTED INTO LIFE---death hath no more dominion over the believer!

 

Even the gentiles were Resurrected in heavenly places, Eph 2: 5,6, just as happened to JESUS CHRIST, Eph 1: 20---WHEN WE ARE PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH, WE WOULD BE IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS Resurrection!

BELIEVERS OF JESUS CHRIST WOULD BELIEVE IN THIS RESURRECTION THROUGH HIS BAPTZM!

 

SADDUCEES do not believe in Resurrection, Acts 4: 1-2, but Ro 6: 3-7 speaks of the power of His death and Resurrection, Paul preached JESUS CHRIST and Him crucified, 1 Co 2: 2, BECAUSE OF THIS RESURRECTION along with the other benefits of the cup of blessing through the death of JESUS CHRIST.

Read---“cup of blessing for Passover ” --http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

 

Acts 17: 3--Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. 18---he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. 31--Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead. (during LORD’s day, JESUS CHRIST would judge righteously, He qualified to do so through His Resurrection! ).

AND THE LORD JUDGED—

40  They shall also bring up an assembly against thee,--- 41  And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

42  So will I make My fury toward thee to rest, and My jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

Understand from those vss. that the Gentile assembly served JESUS CHRIST to execute His Judgment ---and JESUS CHRIST caused to cease from harlotry, and thus LORD’S FURY RESTED, JEALOUSY DEPARTED, AND NO MORE ANGRY!

That is why LORD gave a cup of wrath and then a cup of consolation—

Peter and John said--Acts 4: 10  Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,-- 11  This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12  Neither is there salvation in any other:--13----- they saw the boldness of Peter and John,

Mt 1: 21--thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.

 

 

ACTS 19: 1-5—

2  He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3  And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.

4  Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5  When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

THEREFORE---one should be Baptized unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, through which one would receive Holy Spirit! (the word of God in bible is always with us, but the LORD gives understanding of His words when you get His name through baptizm into His name! and when you get His name, you are to depart from iniquity, Ro 6: 6, 2 Tim 2: 19, therefore one has to live by every word of God to depart from iniquity!

 

MT 3: 11--I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:--- He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

John’s baptizm is of water, Mt 3: 16---but BAPTIZM OF JESUS CHRIST IS THROUGH HIS HOLY SPIRIT, and FIRE, Jer 23: 29, THE WORDS OF RO 6: 3-7 baptizes a believer into the name of JESUS CHRIST . (one has to believe in Him, and His crucifixion completed through the  Resurrected power)

 

Re 20:6  Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.—then----one should know when you have a part in the first Resurrection, (explained below).

 

FATHERS OF ISRAEL BAPTIZED INTO MOSES—ARE EXAMPLES FOR US, NOT TO LUST AFTER EVIL THINGS--

1 Co 10: 1 -Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,--3  all ate the same spiritual food,--4  and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.--5  But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

6-  Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

Notice, they were baptized in cloud and sea—even NOW, LORD CAME IN CLOUDS, Eze. 30:3, and while ISRAEL IS IN SEA, LA 2: 13. now the LORD gives spiritual food and spiritual drink!

AND HE HAD GIVEN ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE OF HIS BAPTIZM, TO BE RESURRECTED TO NEW LIFE, AND THE CONDITIONS OF THIS NEW BAPTIZM (to depart from iniquities so that you remain holy to serve Him, Ro 6: 19,22 and not to serve SIN, Ro 6: 6, --2 Tim 2: 19)

We are to learn the example of fathers’ 1 Co 10: 1-6 (written above).

 

 

Acts 2: 24  Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it.

25    For David speaketh concerning Him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face,---

26    -- Therefore did my heart rejoice,

27    ----neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

28    ---Thou hast made known to me the ways of life;

LORD HAD POWER TO TAKE HIS LIFE BACK, JN 10: 18, HE WAS MADE A SON OF GOD,  A CONTINUAL PRIEST OF Melchisedec Order, HEB 7: 3---David was made known of THE WAYS OF LIFE, above vs. 28!

 

God made a covenant with David forever,

2 Sam 7: 15  "But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

16  "And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever."’"

17  According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

DAVID REPLIED--

2 Sam 7: 20  "Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord GOD, know Your servant. 21  "For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.

22  "Therefore You are great, O LORD GOD. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You,-- 23  "And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name––and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land––before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?

24  "For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, LORD, have become their God.

25  "Now, O LORD God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said.

26  "So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

THUS LORD MADE THE COVENANT WITH DAVID FOREVER, SEED OF DAVID TO RULE ISRAEL FOREVER! AND ISRAEL IS CHOSEN AS A PEOPLE FOR GOD! DAVID COMMANDS ISRAEL HOW TO WORSHIP GOD!

 

WHEN ISRAEL FAILED JESUS CHRIST CAME AS A BRANCH, AS ROOT OF JESSE, TO CONTINUE THE WORK OF DAVID’S THRONE, TO REVIVE IT, Acts 15: 16

Isa 11:1  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

Jer 33:15  In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

 

That is why David has a covenant never to lack a man under him, Jer 33:17, 18

Jer 33:17  "For thus says the LORD: ‘David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; (when ISRAEL failed, Isa 22: 25, LORD HIMSELF BECAME THE BRANCH, and got gentiles to serve as David. Zec 12: 8-9, ruling ISRAEL, Isa 3: 4,12)

Jer 33:18  ‘nor shall the priests, the Levites, lack a man to offer burnt offerings before Me, to kindle grain offerings, and to sacrifice continually.’"—when ISRAEL went astray, gentiles serve as Zadok’s sons to offer offerings and continual—Eze. 44: 15, 43: 19, and the daily and continual by Tarshish gentiles, Ps. 72: 10,15.

Ps. 72: 18-Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

 

Those who serve in David’s throne should know the WAYS OF LIFE!

Acts 2: 28---Thou hast made known to me the ways of life;

 

ISRAEL through Passover, when they remember His death, should get newness of life, through the cup of blessing at Passover ! 1Co 10:16!

Newness of life is given after Resurrection through baptizm into JESUS CHRIST, Ro 6; 3-7, and therefore ways of life are to be learnt by believers!

Ro 1:4  and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

Php 3:10  that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

 

WHO HAS PART IN FIRST RESURRECTION?

Re 20:6  Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

When gentiles got confirmed to  His death through His blood, Eph 2: 13, ---they had part in first Resurrection, first born of poor, Isa 14: 30, raised in heavenly places, Eph 2: 5,6, just as LORD raised, Eph 1: 20, they are spiritual citizens of heaven, Php 3: 20, serve JESUS CHRIST, Re 19: 1, TO UILD UP BRIDE, Re 19: 7,8, as priests of God, Jer 3: 15, as eunuchs who serve God to prepare His bride, Isa 56: 4-7, serving as David, Zec 12: 8, feeble working as a thousand, Isa 60: 22, during THOUSAND YEARS, as the day of the LORD, Ps. 90: 4, -----Eze. 30: 3 (gentiles times, during the day of the LORD ).

If gentiles remain in His goodness, they would not be cut off, Ro 11: 22.

Otherwise they could be cut off, that was a danger for them, and their punishment is greater than Moses’ time, Heb 10: 26-29.

It was prophesied that some would depart from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1, and it is gentiles who stand by faith, Ro 11:20—they were admonished, 1Co 16:13  Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong, ---THEY HAD TO stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, Php 1:27—

When all did not have one mind, some would depart from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1.

 

 5

Any servant of God is purified before serving Him—thus gentiles too were purified as vessels of mercy, Eph 2: 13, Ro 9:23.

These outer court of gentiles of Re 11. 1,2 executed judgments on PCG, serving JESUS CHRIST, Ez 16:40-42, these gentiles (strangers{non ISRAEL among PCG, Eph 2: 11-12 }were purified by blood of JESUS CHRIST ,Eph 2:11-13,thus grafted to the vine, Ro 11:17-22, they witnessed Bamah matter, Eze. 20: 29, LORD says gentiles know of the iniquity of ISRAEL, Ez 39:21-23 , it is the covenant breaking sin of PCG, Ez 44:7, Ez 16:59. and when covenant is broken THEIR Sabbaths are defiled, POLLUTED!

FOR THESE REASONS ISRAEL REMNANT WAS SENT INTO CAPTIVITY, Eze. 12: 15, AND LORD WOULD REDEEM them FROM CAPTIVITY, after pouring His spirit, Eze. 39: 28,29, THROUGH HIS BLOOD, Zec 9: 11, AND that is giving  THEM THE BLESSINGS FROM HIS DEATH, RO 6: 3-7, TO BECOME NEW PEOPLE, to make the NEW COVENANT, Eze. 16: 60-63.

 

 

HIS WORDS—THEY ARE SPIRIT—THEY ARE LIFE--

ISRAEL has a history with JESUS CHRIST –

Acts 2: 36—JESUS CHRIST is both LORD and CHRIST—LORD of old testament and CHRIST of new testament!

BIBLE contains the story of ISRAEL! How the LORD is leading ISRAEL His chosen people—old testament records how they failed through law—then JESUS CHRIST made Himself the sacrifice to save them, Jesus means “he shall save his people from their sins”, Mt 1: 21. new testament records how JESUS CHRIST saves them eternally!

 

Way of JESUS CHRIST is in SANCTUARY, HE WORKS IN A SANCTUARY, Ps. 77: 13—that is why we hear so much about ministry who serve Him, first of all they should be ready as the help meet  of JESUS CHRIST, Mal 3: 3,  LORD sends them into captivity, Eze. 12: 15 to teach them giving spiritual food, Re 12: 14,  as they do not understand how to perform SANCTUARY work, led by the word of God!

Human spirit does not understand spiritual, but LORD requires ministry to know His spiritual things, as written below—

Spiritual things cannot be mixed with human spirit, the worldly ways, as one has to choose between mammon and God, Mt 6:24, MAMMON IS UNRIGHTEOUS, Lu 16:9, if you had not chosen between unrighteous mammon and God, who will commit to your trust the true riches, Lu 16:11, Ye cannot serve God and mammon, Lu 16:13.

LORD’S MINISTRY HAS TO BE FAITHFUL IN SANCTUARY MATTERS!

PCG BROKE COVENANT BY BRINGING IN STRANGERS INTO THE SANCTUARY--

Eze 44:7  In that ye have brought into My sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, when ye offer My bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken My covenant because of all your abominations.

THIS INIQUITY WAS SEEN BY THE STRANGERS (NON ISRAEL) WHO SAW THIS ABOMINATION, Eze. 39: 21-23, they were built by God to feed ISRAEL--

Isa 61:5  And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. GENTILES were given land in Judah, they were not taken to Babylon, Jer 39: 10.

 

Present truth keeps changing—as LORD builds His people ISRAEL to make the new covenant!

 6

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE NUMBERS THE PEOPLE--

1 Chr 21: 1--Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

David numbered people and got a terrible punishment 1Ch 21:17.

Vs. 15: God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it:

Likewise those serve in David’s throne would get punished, PCG served in David’s throne, Isa 22: 22-24, were CUT OFF IN VS. 25! (it is PCG as the end time church, which had the covenant with Him, Eze. 16: 8)!

 

PCG  too numbered people

When PCG leaders sought numbers  {it is Satan standing up against ISRAEL!} 800 heathen people from Bamah, and 14 ministers among them who did not even know of Sabbath was joined to the SANCTUARY, Eze. 44: 7,

it was the FAILURE of Righteous ministers of PCG!-

Eze 17:16  As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

 

Eze. 18: 24  But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. ----PCG MINISTRY DEAD! SPIRITUAL DEATHS! ----them, becoming wicked, that is why they were sent into captivity, Eze. 12: 15, the leaders were slain , Eze. 9:6 (Eze 9:6  "Utterly slay------ begin at My sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were before the temple).

Eze 33:11  Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

LORD IS SO MERCIFUL TO ISRAEL, HE BURNS THEIR WICKEDNESS, Isa 9: 18, THROUGH HIS WORDS, Jer 23: 29, 5: 14, that is HIS SPIRIT, JN 6: 63, CLEANSING THEM THROUGH HIS OWN SACRIFICE, RO 6: 3-7, 19,22.

 

Eze. 44: 7—PCG brought strangers into the SANCTUARY---

Jer 51: 51--shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house.

 

Why did it happen?---PCG LEADERS DID NOT KNOW LORD’S JUDGMENTS! They ought to be ashamed!

 

WE OUGHT TO LEARN LIKE DAVID DID--

David then, did not know that only Levites could handle the ark of the covenant, 1Ch 13:7-11 (vs. 11: David became angry because of the LORD’S outbreak against Uzza; 12-- David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God to me?")

But later David learnt the LORD’s decree of who should handle the ark of the covenant—1 Chr 15: 2  Then David said, "No one may carry the ark of God but the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever."

When LORD’s covenant is given to be guarded by Levites, and to minister before Him forever, LORD’S MINISTRY SHOULD NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO COME INTO HIS PRESENCE AS LORD HAD SANCTIFIED MINISTRY WHO SERVES HIM! No unholy people could come into the presence of JESUS CHRIST, that is why He Himself gives Righteousness unto Holiness , Ro 6: 19,22 to serve Him, through His own sacrifice which gives them newness of life, Ro 6: 3-7, to serve Him and NOT TO SERVE SIN, RO 6: 6!

DAVID BECAME ANGRY—THEN AFRAID OF GOD WHEN HE REALISED THAT GOD HAS HIS WAYS IN HIS SANCTUARY MATTERS---DAVID HUMBLY CORRECTED HIS WRONG WAYS!

That should be the way of those who serve JESUS CHRIST in His temple!

 

UNDER AUTHORITY OF DAVID- HE TAUGHT TO PRAISE AND THANK GOD--

1Ch 23:5--Four thousand praised the LORD with musical instruments, "which I made," said David, "for giving praise.",

 

DAVID’S SONS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO SERVE GOD--

2Ch 8:14--according to the order of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for so David the man of God had commanded, (Solomon followed David’s command).

2Ch 35:15  And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the command of David, vs. 1 shows that king Josiah instructed priests and Levites to do according to the way David had commanded!----

 

It is not finding the lineage of David physically, or excavating the physical throne of David---but CORRECT SERVICE OF GOD AMIDST THE CONGREGATION OF ISRAEL THAT HAS TO BE SOUGHT!—IT IS THE WAY DAVID HAD COMMANDED which was FOLLOWED BY KINGS OF ISRAEL IN HISTORY!

 

THAT IS THE WAY FOR ISRAEL TO SERVE GOD!

Eze 37:25- And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob My servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and My servant David shall be their prince for ever.

Jer 33:24--The two families which the LORD hath chosen,--and made the covenant, David’s seed to be rulers among the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, vs. 26.

And therefore LORD would bring back captivity, Jer 33: 26.

Ho 3:5  Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days.

His goodness in leading to repentance would be sought by ISRAEL, Ro 2: 4

 

Ezekiel 44: 15

Zadok’s sons serving David to plan services of house of God, 1Ch 24:3, Zadok being the grand son of Aaron, 1 Chr 24: 1, in Ezekiel prophecies Zadok is being represented by those who did not go astray when ISRAEL went astray, and they are to minister before LORD, Eze. 44: 15, (gentiles did not go astray, they watched the iniquity of ISRAEL, Eze. 39: 21-23). Gentiles went in the basket of good figs to Babylon when PCG too went in basket of bad figs, Jer 24.

This is why LORD revives ministry, Mal 3: 3, reviving those under David, Acts 15: 16, to establish the worship system that please God, Isa 66: 22-23. David had the heart to do LORD’s will, Acts 13: 22, and DID Isa 66: 22,23, as written in 1 Chr 23: 30-31, all who worship the God of whole earth should be like that to serve God!

HARPS in book of Revelations INDICATE SERVICE OF GOD UNDER AUTHORITY OF DAVID-

Re 5:8-- the four living creatures and Twenty–four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints,

1 Chr 25: 6  All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

1 Chr 25: 1-5---Asaph, Jeduthun, Heman had twenty four sons, whose sons and brethren, 1 Chr 25: 6-8, 9-31  praised and thanked God with musical instruments, and songs of God!---WORK OF 24 ELDERS under DAVID!

Twenty four elders SERVED under DAVID, ASAPH, JEDUTHUN, HEMAN, LOYALLY TO PRAISE  AND THANK GOD daily, and on Sabbaths, new moons, set feasts, 1 Chr 23: 30-31, just as LORD WILLS THAT KIND OF SERVICE FOR EVER, Isa 66: 22-23.

 

ASAPH, JEDUTHUN , HEMAN HAD TWENTY FOUR SONS---

(along with DAVID they are the FOUR living creatures, David’s son Solomon BECAME THE KING---David’s sons to rule ISRAEL congregation!---with all riches and wisdom king Solomon went astray, so we see how we should guard David’s ways to SERVE GOD , AS GOD PLEASES!

 

More on David, Zadok, Asaph and others who served God loyally could be found in –

http://www.restoringcaptivity.com .

 

Holy Spirit , the word of God, Jn 6: 63, teaches us to guard the way to worship JESUS CHRIST in truth and in spirit to eternity, Isa 66: 22,23!

 

 

Without knowing LORD’s Judgments, law, statutes, commandments , testimonies, LEADERS COULD ERR---and TEACH WRONG THINGS!

IT IS WISE TO KNOW ALL THINGS OF GOD TO DO THEM, to PLEASE HIM!

When He pours His spirit, they should learn God’s ways!

BY EXAMINING THE WORD OF GOD, ONE WOULD LEARN KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST SO THAT THE KNOWLEDGE COULD BE USED WISELY TO PLEASE THE LORD!

When serving JESUS CHRIST as our master, we should know what would please Him!

 

WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND that even ANY WORLDLY LEADER REQUIRES his regulations TO BE PRACTICED UNDER HIM!

 9


THEN HOW SERIOUS IT IS TO USE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, TO PRACTICE THEM IN HIS CHURCH?---knowledge of God is found in His WORDS—WORDS ARE SPIRIT, Jn 6: 63.

WHEN LORD POURS HIS SPIRIT, Eze. 39: 28-29, ISRAEL CAPTIVES SHOULD GET UNDERSTANDING FROM HIS SPIRIT!

 

Spiritual knowledge is very vital!

Re 11: 8 says----Jerusalem is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where JESUS CHRIST died!

Mar 10: 33  Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, -- and they shall condemn Him to death,

Mar 15: 28  - He was numbered with the transgressors.

Isa 53; 10 - Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.

11  He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.

 

 

All those vss say—that Jerusalem is called spiritually Egypt when Jerusalem is associated with SIN, JESUS CHRIST was spiritually in Egypt when He bore sins of others, BUT WHEN HE DOES SO, HIS PLEASURE WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED! He would see a SEED OF HIS---HIS GENERATION WOULD APPEAR (prolong His days—as He did not see His generation in Mt 1: 17!—HE COULD NOT PROPLONG HIS DAYS THROUGH A GENERATION!)

So JESUS CHRIST DID DIE ON THE CROSS, SO THAT HIS PLEASURE OF SEEING A SEED OF ISRAEL WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED!

SINFUL Jerusalem WOULD BE MADE NEW Jerusalem, RE 21: 1,2, through purifying ISRAEL in Jerusalem, Re 14:1-3 (the redeemed ISRAEL tribes).

They would be purified as virgins, vs. 4, Isa 62: 4, 5 (as a virgin, Hepzibah, Beulah),

When all the sins are taken on JESUS CHRIST when we pass through His death on the cross, Ro 6: 3-7, we are sinless, even the mother of harlots of Re 17: 5, would be as a VIRGIN!

 

 10


Re 15:3- the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

 

 

WHEN ALL THESE THINGS ARE KNOWN BY HIS CHOSEN ISRAEL, RO 9: 4,6, THEY WOULD BE MADE THE SEED OF ISRAEL TO CONTINUE AS A GENERATION TO THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST –

Isa 59: 21--As for me, this is My covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Isa 60: 1 - Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2-the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.

3  And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

ISRAEL WOULD RISE WHEN GENTILES BRING THE LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST TO ISRAEL!

In the end when ISRAEL is made to come as New Jerusalem, Re 21: 1,2, their names would be written on the wall, vs. 12. (earlier their names were cut off from the registry of ISRAEL, Eze. 13: 9).

 

 

EVEN ISRAEL IN Judah WERE CONSIDERED HAVING ENTERED SPIRITUAL Egypt WHEN THEY SINNED---Jer 44: 1-concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt--2  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

3  Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger,-

to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers. (H.W.Armstrong is another god!),

4  Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

5  But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness,

 

Just as they are in spiritual Egypt, LORD says He gave them over to Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Jer 27:6, Jer 28:14, Jer 24:1, Jer 25:9, Eze 29:18---

Eze 29:19  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;

 11


FOLLOWING VSS DEPICT PCG LEADERS IN Babylon—

Jer 24 they went to Babylon.

Isa 44:28  That saith of Cyrus, He is My shepherd, and shall perform all My pleasure:

Ezr 5:13-Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.

PCG leader at one time said he had the commission of Cyrus, building a house of God! ---SO HE PERFORMED LORD’S PLEASURE—he named it after H.W.Armstrong –and PROVED THAT THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL HAS ANOTHER god in H.W.Armstrong! the leaders are all the time focusing on teachings of H.W.Armstrong! WHAT A DISASTER, IN SANCTUARY OF GOD?

And the LORD breaks Cyrus----with Gentiles LORD breaks Cyrus and his helpers, the other rulers---

Jer 51:23  I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock;--- and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

 

LORD MADE PCG LEADER TO ROOT OUT ISRAEL—

Jer 1: 10-- See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Now the leader has to return to Ezekiel temple according to LORD’s instructions, Eze. 43: 18, for the building work.

 

THE ERRED WORK WAS PROVED!

When JESUS CHRIST was believed, Jews and Greeks BURNT THEIR BOOKS OF MAGIC valued at 50,000 PIECES OF SILVER, Acts 19: 17-19---SO ISRAEL SHOULD ALSO TAKE THAT EXAMPLE TO BURN THEIR BOOKS OF ERRED WORK!

 

 

 

1Co 2:13  These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

1Co 14:37  If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

Holy Spirit teaches comparing spiritual things with spiritual!

Then because spiritual things are found in the words of JESUS CHRIST, spiritual words should be explained BY HIS WORDS!

And IF ONE IS SPIRITUAL ---or a prophet---PAULS WRITINGS should be acknowledged AS COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD!

We are to OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD!

Spiritual things gives you the understanding of the LORD’s commandments to obey them!

 12


When PCG leaders sought numbers, it was the FAILURE of Righteous ministers becoming wicked to have broken the covenant, Eze. 44: 7, shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house. Jer 51: 51.

 

Eze 18:24  "But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.

Eze. 33: 13, 18 {vss say they deserve death},  and at SUCH TIMES LORD GIVES A STUMBLING BLOCK, Ez 3: 20—

Eze. 3: 20  Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die:---- his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

 

The leader is responsible—IF THE LEADER HAD COMMITTED THE INIQUITY, HE SHALL DIE! ---if he is already cleansed and enlightened, he shall die again—(prophet of last era was cleansed and made to live , and then covenant made, Eze. 16: 6-8—therefore they die again, similarly gentiles who were enlightened by his blood, Eph 2: 13, 5,6, were made to be first born of poor, Isa 14: 30, if they turn from Righteousness ---because of iniquity, they too would die again—

The stumbling block the LORD WOULD PLACE BEFORE THEM would be Ezekiel 20: 25 (24  Because they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, and had polluted My sabbaths,--- 25  Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;)—that is for ISRAEL, and for gentiles who were given knowledge AND -- if they do not use knowledge as God desires, (2 Pe 1: 2-8), LORD would give a debased mind to do those things that are not convenient, Ro 1: 28-31, which produce DEATH again.

Therefore, Ro 1: 28-32 is the stumbling block for those who are given knowledge!

THEN RIGHTEOUS RECEIVE A STUMBLING BLOCK TO DO AGAINST GOD’S LAWS WHICH PRODUCE CORRUPT WAYS!---THAT IS A PUNISHMENT!—THEY SUFFER THROUGH SUCH AS MENTIONED IN RO 1: 28-31!

 

 

THEREFORE---ALL OF US WHO RECEIVE LORD’S SPIRIT SHOULD BE CAREFUL TO HONOUR Holy Spirit, which is LIFE-GIVING WORDS, John 6: 63

 

 

 13


All ISRAEL had failed through law! LORD JESUS CHRIST paved a way to save His people from sin, Mt 1: 21, through His sacrifice, FORGIVING SINS OF THE PAST, AND MAKING THEM IN NEWNESS OF LIFE, AND THEN THE PEOPLE OF GOD SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO LIVE A LIFE IN NEWNESS—NOT SERVING SIN, RO 6: 3-7, AS HE GIVES HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS to serve Him, through HIS BAPTIZM, RO 6: 19,22.

 

ISRAEL church, Ro 9: 4,6, (those who has the right to covenant, and God’s service),  never understood LORD’s things as they do not hear, Acts 28:28, the final era of Laodiceans fulfilled in PCG. They failed as a spiritual harlot, Ez 16:15,59,through unbelief were broken ,Ro 11:20.  But as JESUS CHRIST is faithful to the two chosen families of ISRAEL to keep the covenant ,Jer 33:17-26, He discontinued covenant with PCG when they failed, Is 22:25 and gentiles were grafted as said above, they took hold of covenant and Sabbaths, Is 56:4-7 as eunuchs, Mt 19:12, to work as David, Zec 12:8.

Taking hold of Sabbaths and covenant is to honour them to perform them in best manner.

 

 

Paul was the minister to gentiles, Ro 15:16,and they were to live by faith, Ro 11:13. That means they were to be doers of the word, Jas 1:22 , as LORD poured His spirit on them, Joel 28:29. Thus they got the knowledge of God through His spirit and they were expected to produce fruits of spirit, Gal 5:22-23 and fruits of knowledge, 2 Pet 1:2-8 through faith in JESUS CHRIST being doers of the word. Gentiles stand by faith, Ro 11:20. His divine power had been given—and they were warned, Ro 11:20-- Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

21    For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not thee.

2 Pet 1:3-- According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

We should understand that LORD gives ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO GODLY LIVES through KNOWLEDGE OF HIM ---and we are to do them! OBEY THEM!

 

THEN WE LEARN---WHEN GOD POURS HIS SPIRIT, WE ARE TAUGHT TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE---that is DOCTRINE OF GODLINESS!

 14

 

We were to escape corruption through lusts, vs. 4—

2 Pet 1:-5 - And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6  And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

 

All those had to be done by gentiles when they received knowledge of God. Even PCG WAS GIVEN GOD’S GLORIOUS KNOWLEDGE, Ez 16:6-14, to REPENT,  REMOVE ABOMINATIONS, Ez 16:2, ALL PROPHETIC  KNOWELDGE WAS GIVEN TO THEM FOR THIS PURPOSE, BUT THEY FAILED, Jer 44:4,5,   . Since LORD is faithful to the covenant with ISRAEL , they all were sent into captivity and after pouring His spirit would gather them leaving none, Ez 39:28,29, all ISRAEL would be saved, THEY TOO SHOULD BE FRUITFUL IN KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST, AS SHOWN IN 2 PE 1: 5-8 (as shown above).

There is no such promise to gentiles—but they would be cut off  if they do not remain in the goodness of God, Ro 11:22,when ISRAEL believe they would be grafted again, Ro 11:23.

 

BUT some GENTILES who departed from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1, COULD HAVE HOPE IN 1 CO 3: 15--

1Co 3:15  If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

THEY ARE TO CORRECT THEIR THINKING THROUGH THE FIRE LORD SENDS!---THEN THEY SUFFER LOSS, BUT SHALL BE SAVED!

 

 

WE LEARN THAT GOD’S SPIRIT IS VERY HOLY---IT IS GIVEN FREELY TO HIS BELIEVERS HE CHOOSES---when it is given—we are to honour His Holy Spirit, and become doers of the words as words are spirit, Jn 6: 63.

We see LORD’s goodness to lead to repentance, Ro 2:4!---

 

1Tim 4:1--  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;

It is the gentiles who were to live by faith, as they STAND BY FAITH, Ro 11:20-SO IT IS PROPHESIED OF THEIR FAILURE in 1 Tim 4:1

 

Mt 24:35  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.

Mr 13:31  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away.

Lu 21:33  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away.

 

LORD’S WORDS ARE POWERFUL! ALL SHOULD FEAR GOD TO DO HIS WILL.

 15


WELL—WE CANNOT TAKE HIS SPIRIT LIGHTLY---WE CAN FAIL!

WE COULD DEPART FROM FAITH! Could depart from believing the word of God! we could depart as we had not practiced the words of God!

Recent writings explained why members (in gentile assembly, Is 56:4 got scattered. ISRAEL should learn from this example how they should fear God!

WE COULD ONLY SEE HOW SATAN INFLUENCES THROUGH DEMONIC DOCTRINES , 1 TIM 4: 1

 

Rom 14: 17  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.--18-For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Ro 14: 7  For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8  For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

9  For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10  But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

13  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.

 

 

Judging and exposing is two different things—

Eph 5:11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12  For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

13  But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

14  Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."

15  See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

16  redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17  Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

18  And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

Therefore when exposed things are manifest by light (JESUS CHRIST), LORD GIVES HIS LIGHT TO AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP---TO ARISE OUT OF DEAD!

They should be filled with LORD’S SPIRIT TO COME OUT OF DARKNESS!

 

 16


If we examine prophecies of the word of God for the last end, JESUS CHRIST creates new earth and New heavens and NEW Jerusalem , His Help meet the bride descends from New Heavens-Re 21:1-2. (when ISRAEL gets His baptizm, they would be raised in heavenly places, Ro 6: 5, Eph 1: 20, Eph 2: 5,6,  and then----descend as new Jerusalem, Re 21: 1,2).

Just as LORD creates new heavens and new earth, LORD’s WILL IS TO GET HIS PEOPLE WORSHIP HIM ON Sabbaths AND NEW MOONS, Is 66:22-23.

 

Because ISRAEL does not hear, Acts 28:28, because of their unbelief, Ro 11:     , gentiles were grafted, Ro 11:7-22, gentiles were to remain in LORD’s goodness, vs. 22, gentiles were 1st born of poor, Is 14:30 (the vs. says gentiles feed while ISRAEL root had famine). Gentiles are a generation that would proclaim of ISRAEL seed, Ps. 22: 30,31---Gentiles serve in Is 56:4-7 (taking hold of Sabbaths, covenant which means they should keep Sabbaths properly as they were fed, Is 14:30, with God’s knowledge-His mysteries, His precious things of the SANCTUARY), therefore all precious things SHOULD BE HONOURED as they are LORD’S things connected to  the SANCTUARY , Ps. 77:13

ISRAEL are restless having a famine, Joe 1:18, (that is famine of word, Amos 8: 11), and gentiles are in rest, having food, Isa 14: 30, so that they should EAT THE FOOD to know how to worship truly! ISRAEL failed as they broke covenant as they did not know LORD’s Judgments! –

Joh 6:51  "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever;

WHEN HIS WORDS, THE Holy Spirit IS GIVEN, WE ARE TO EAT THEM, ---practice them!

 

 

To establish Is 66:23 (Sabbaths & New moons) LORD requires His Help meet, the bride, new Jerusalem ,Re 21:2 to be composed of a FAITHFUL MINISTRY-that’s why the LORD purifies Levi, Mal 3:3, and revives David’s throne, Acts 15:16, so that the worshipping of JESUS CHRIST by His people would be as the days of David, 1 Chr 23:30-31(Sabbaths & new moons, daily and continual just as Isa 66:23)

 

This is the reason the gentiles work one as a thousand, Is 60:22, as David, serving JESUS CHRIST , Zec 12:8-10, as He leads gentiles as the Melchisedec order High priest, Heb 8:1,2, HE HIMSELF IS WORKING –PERFORMING HIS SHORT WORK, RO 9: 28.

 17


When LORD pours His spirit on ISRAEL, Eze. 39: 28,29, they are to stand fast and hold the traditions which were taught by word or epistle, 2 The 2:15. THE ABOVE WORK IS  EXPECTED FROM THE BELIEVERS—

 

We should note Jer 48:10—Ez 33: 13,  Righteous deeds not counted—when some departs from faith -1 Tim 4:1-3-their righteous deeds would not be counted!-

Mt 19: 17  -- if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19  Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Those are recorded in old testament too, but in new testament times, love fulfills these laws, Ro 13: 8-10.

ISRAEL SHOULD LEARN NOT TO MAKE MISTAKES –not to depart from faith, WHEN THEY RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY!

 

 

MORE SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE--

Now the gentiles were purified to be joined to ISRAEL ,Eph 2:11-13 (by LORD’s blood, vs. 13), were raised in heavenly places, Eph 2:5,6, just as the LORD raised in heavenly places, Eph 1:20. The gentiles have their citizenship in heaven, Ph 3:20, (We should understand how the LORD  speaks in parables and spiritually!)

Now when we speak of blood, His blood was shed at His death on the cross-He died and resurrected (raised from dead)

His blood should be found in His death--

LORD’S BLOOD is blood of the new covenant, Mt 26:28, blood which dedicates covenant, Heb 9:18, the blood which was commanded by God, Heb 9:20 , blood that forgives, Eph 1:7 , Col 1:14 , blood that purifies captives, Zec 9: 11, blood that is used for sprinkling nations where ISRAEL are scattered{ Eze. 12: 15}, Isa 52:15, to sprinkle to cleanse Ezekiel temple, Eze 43:18

You are PUNISHABLE if you disgrace this blood of the covenant, Heb 10:29.

 

 

So believers who get Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His rigteousness, vs 19, 22, THROUGH A CUP OF BLESSING, through HIS SACRIFICE, are made Righteous to serve Him, Ro 6:19,22, they are not to serve sin, Ro 6: 6, 2 Tim 2:19. They would be raised in heavenly places as sons of God, who are equal to angels----Lk 20: 34, 35-

ISRAEL should learn these spiritual things!  

 

When one goes through Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, ---they are NOT DEAD TO SIN—BUT ALIVE IN JESUS CHRIST!

They get His name, and are to DEPART FROM INIQUITY, 2 Tim 2: 19.

 

18 

When the word of God His Holy Spirit GIVE SUCH KNOWLEDGE everybody who gets His Holy Spirit should LIVE A LIFE OF GODLINESS! Otherwise a stumbling block would be laid by JESUS CHRIST, Eze. 3: 20!

 

LORD ‘s death and the cup of blessings through LORD ‘s death IS VITAL KNOWLEDGE--they SHOW THE POWER OF LORD’S DEATH and REUSRRECTION-Paul taught nothing but JESUS CHRIST and HIM CRICIFIED, 1 Co 2:2-the power of resurrection is VITAL KNOWLEDGE,   

 

 

A WORK THAT HAD NOT SHOWN THE POWER OF LORD’S DEATH AND RESURRECTION----would represent that of Sadducees-Acts 4:1-2

 

TO PRACTICE THE TRUTH OF GOD, by being DOERS OF THE WORD,  Jas 1:22 ,  LORD’s servants should be an example . 1 Tim 4:12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

If you DO NOT HONOUR HIS Holy Spirit,  WHEN HE POURS IT ON YOU, Joel 2: 28,29, Eze. 39: 28,29,  THEY DESRVE A PUNISHMENT WORSE THAN FOR MOSES’ LAW KEEPERS, Heb 10:26-29.

 

When we do not love truth, God send a strong delusion, 2 The 2;11 (these things apply to any one who strays from word of God). Therefore LORD gave them a debased mind to do inconvenient things-Ro 1:28-31, and they deserve death- Ro 1:32-  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.-LORD says to turn away from such, 1 Tim 6:3-5. If teachers of God’s things teach falsely, the word of Jer 48:10 is -  Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

ISRAEL OR GENTILE—the servants are accountable for their work! THIS SHOWS HOW DILIGENTLY THE LEADERS SHOULD STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AND FEAR GOD!

 

19 

1Co 3:15  If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

We ought to understand that vs. well—WORK WILL BE LOST---the one who ERRED WOULD BE SAVED BY LORD’S FIRE!

False works would be burnt if the leaders who erred come to repentance, when LORD manifests the deeds done in darkness, (as written in this article), they are expected to come to repentance, as it is JESUS CHRIST who makes them manifest, and IT IS THE REASON OF LEADING THEM TO REPENTANCE, RO 2: 4.

 

The word of God says that once enlightened find it impossible to repent Heb 6:4,6, but what is impossible with men is possible with God,  Lu 18:27, and His goodness will lead to repentance, Ro 2: 4, that is why gentiles were admonished to remain in His goodness, Ro 11:22.---gentiles to remain in His goodness of being led to repentance!

 

Joh 3:16  "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

JUST AS PAUL TAUGHT JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFED, we should  BELIEVE HIM AND HIS DEATH, to know how the LORD gives His Righteousness unto Holiness, through His death, Ro 6: 3-7,19,22.

Ps. 37: 37  Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

38  But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39  But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40  And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

 

 

We should be holy to see Him, should have His Righteousness that is a blessing from His death, Ro 6:3-7,19,22 to serve Him. When our sins are REMOVED BY HIS DEATH we become perfect!. We are to be separated from those who walk disorderly, 2 Thes 3:2,6, 1 Tim 6:3-5,

Joh 14:16  "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever

Ac 2:38  Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

THAT MEANS—if you receive Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, YOU GET THE GIFT OF Holy Spirit.

That means one has to get Holy Spirit through being BAPTIZED into LORD’s death! ---through baptizm unto His death! This is why we were to remember the cup of blessing at Passover !---

There is a sin not to pray –

1 Jn 5: 16  If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

17  All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

In these writings it was discussed which sins leads to death—

 If Righteous turns back  Ez 33. 13,18, they lead to death! Or when God gives a debased mind, they are led to death, Ro 1: 32.

we are not to pray for  such! That is how to word of God instructs us—then we are to be subjected to SUCH WORD OF GOD ! One has to examine! Let the LORD’s will be done! They themselves have to work out their own salvation through coming into repentance,

 

 

Mt 12:31  Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Mt 12:32  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

(if you give a wrong title to JESUS CHRIST –it will be forgiven! but IF YOU DO AGAINST Holy Spirit TO INSULT THE WORDS OF LIFE, JN 6; 63, to insult the blood of the covenant, Heb 10: 26-29, IT WOULD NOT BE FORGIVEN YOU!)

 

Mt 12: 33  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

34    O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

 

21 

Mr 3:28  Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

Mr 3:29  But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Lu 12:10  And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

 

 

So others cannot pray for such. This is a very serious matter! That is why everyone is to seek his own salvation.— with FEAR and TREMBLING!

Php 2:12-work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

Mt 20:16--  So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

 

LORD’s words admonish us--

Ps 19:12  Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

People of God SHOULD NOT TAKE LORD’S THINGS LIGHTLY!

WE ARE SPEAKING OF THE GOD OF WHOLE EARTH! Re 11: 4, Isa 54:5,

He is the God who gave ISRAEL leader a change of raiment, Zec 3: 4.

HE IS THE CREATOR! Isa 40:26, Eph 3:9, Col 1:16, Re 4:11.

HE IS PERFECT AND HOLY, RIGHTEOUS AND JUST! 1Jo 3:7,

1Jo 2:29  If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him.

1Co 6:9 - Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?

Ga 6:8  For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Eph 5:6  Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Jas 1:22  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Jas 2:19  You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe––and tremble!

Ps 106:3  Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times!

Ro 2:7  eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;

Ro 2:8  but to those who are self–seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness––indignation and wrath,

 

 

THOSE WHO JUDGE SHOULD BE CAREFUL—NOT TO BE HYPOCRITES---Ro 2:1--Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

LORD appointed assembly to judge ISRAEL leaders, Eze. 16: 40-42---such judges should not do what they had condemned among ISRAEL leaders---PCG LEADERS disfellowshipped members, commanded divorce, separated families!

That is they disrupted peace which made people of God cry!

 

We should not INSULT THE SPIRIT OF GRACE, we get worse punishment—Heb 10:26--  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

 

 

We are to serve JESUS CHRIST departing from iniquity, Ro 6:6, 2 Tim 2:19—  Ro 6:6--Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.,

2 Tim 2:19 - Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

If we look back it leads to perdition, Heb 10. 39 ---If Righteous turns back  Ez 33. 13,18, they deserve death!

 

These are things happened to the prophet of PCG also because of unbelief. Gentiles were grafted through mercy and were given His spirit, knowledge of life, Jn 6:63, to be doers of the word and they were warned that they could be cut off, Ro 11:22, but all ISRAEL would be saved, Ro 11:26, Ez 39:28,29.

THEREFORE ISRAEL SHOULD LEARN ALL THE WORDS OF LIFE TO MAKE THE ETERNAL COVENANT!

22

 

Therefore when ISRAEL returns from captivity, they ARE TO LEARN THE LESSON TO FEAR GOD AND TO DEPART FROM INIQUITY TO SERVE JESUS CHRIST RIGHEOUSLY AS HE REQUIRES A CLEAN, HOLY AND PERFECT WIFE TO BE HIS HELP MEET.

WE ARE TO LEARN FROM EXPERIENCES. If you turn from Righteousness He gives through His sacrifice, Ro 6:19,22-He would lay a stumbling block, Ez 3:20, And allows you to be led to death, Eze. 20: 25, Ro 1:32.

Then we should learn to use Holy Spirit to produce fruits of spirit, Gal 5: 22-23, fruits of knowledge, 1 Pe 1: 2-8.

HOW TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT, GAL 5: 25

 

http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

 

Whoever has been born of God does not sin, 1Jo 3:9, 1Jo 5:18

Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God, 1Jo 4:7 

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world––our faith, 1Jo 5:4

No excuse for sin, Jn 8: 34

Unpardonable sin is to grieve the Holy Spirit, Mt 12: 32, Mr 3: 28,29.

(Holy Spirit is words of life, Jn 6: 63, therefore if you do not honour the life giving words of JESUS CHRIST –they are the words of His sacrifice to give new life, Ro 6: 3-7, and every word of JESUS CHRIST , ---Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’", Lu 4:4  , Mt 4:4.

{therefore we should honour His words by being a doer of the word!}

 

In JESUS CHRIST faith works through love, Gal 5: 6

{if you do not have love, you depart from faith, that is one way of departing from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1}

 

Prophets to acknowledge commandments, 1 Co 14: 37, 38

Daily crucify lusts, Lk 9; 23, Gal 5: 24

Each man to be careful how he builds upon His foundation, 1 Co 3: 10

{if you do not love His commandments , do not crucify lusts daily, if you are not careful to build upon His foundation---YOU COULD BE FOUND DEPARTING FROM FAITH!}

 

Doctrine according to godliness, 1 Tim 6: 3

Godliness or life in spirit,  2Pe 1:3, 1Ti 4:8 , 1Ti 2:2,  produces fruits of spirit, Gal 5: 22-23-love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,---23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.---25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.-- 18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Gal 5; 26---Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other:

When we receive LORD’s spirit, we should walk in spirit, crucifying lusts on the cross, vs. 24  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.—that should be done daily, Lu 9:23.—then YOU REMAIN PURE AND RIGHTEOUS TO SERVE HIM.

 23


THEREFORE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES US A DOCTRINE OF GODLINESS.

When JESUS CHRIST purifies us through His sacrifice on the cross, Ro 6: 3-7, we are purified to serve Him, vs. 19, 22, and thereafter we should remain without serving sin, vs. 6, departing from iniquity, 2 Tim 2: 19.

 

A DOCTRINE AGAINST GODLINESS WOULD FULFILL LUSTS OF FLESH—

Gal 5: 19-21—

19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

MORE ADMONISHING WORDS--

Commandment of faith to obey, Ro 16; 26

Peace of God to rule our hearts, Col 3: 15

Beware not to bite one another, Gal 5: 13-16

{ if you do not follow doctrine of godliness, commandments of faith, or peace of God not ruling your hearts, or if you bite one another---you HAD DEPARTED FROM FAITH, 1 Tim 4: 1---these are just examples---but if you do not obey the words of faith of JESUS CHRIST, you would have departed from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1}.

 

Read to hear, 1 Tim 4: 13

God destroys those who do not honour His Judgments, 2 Chr 19: 2,7;

(De 7: 10 -And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them:--11; Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments,--Ro 13: 8-10—LOVE FULFILLS LAW--

Ro 13: 8  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.)

Thus JESUS CHRIST HAD FULFILLED THE LAW WITH LOVE, AND TO MAKE IT EASIER, HE SHED ABROAD HIS LOVE IN OUR HEARTS,

RO 5: 5.--  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

SO THE LORD HAD BLESSED US WITH HIS LOVE WHILE POURING HIS HOLY SPIRIT.

 

Re 22: 12  And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14  Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

20 -He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

THAT’S HOW THE BIBLE ENDS!

 

 

Ps. 72: 18 - Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.--19  And blessed be His glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.

Praise be to the One and Only Holy God of ISRAEL and of whole earth, JESUS CHRIST , Amen.
