PART 2 CROSS OF JESUS and BAPTISM into His death ROM 6:3

17/Jan/ 2011.

Continued from part 1--

JESUS CHRIST HAD POWER TO DIE AND RESURRECT--

Joh 10:18  No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

JESUS CHRIST was made as a SON OF GOD---

Heb 7: 3--Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

God made like a man—He was made as the Son of God—is a High Priest everlasting, He sacrificed Himself on the cross, shed His blood for an eternal covenant, and He erected the true TABERNACLE, (Heb 8: 2--A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man).

(These things would be discussed in separate articles)

Ro 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

INTRODUCTION

As written in part I of Cross of Jesus, the generation of ISRAEL mentioned in Mt 1,  DID NOT CONTINUE AFTER THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST. HOLY JESUS CHRIST CANNOT CONTINUE THE GENERATION WITH UNHOLY, unclean ISRAEL PEOPLE, Isa 64:6! HE NEEDS A HOLY WIFE, that is why the NEW JERUSALEM, Re 21:2 is being prepared by Himslef, Isa 62: 1, served by gentiles, Isa 62: 3,7..

Therefore JESUS CHRIST had to CREATE A HOLY MINISTRY as the HELP MEET, to CONTINUE THE GENERATIONS OF ISRAEL. Understand from the LORD’s work on the day of the LORD –it is Mal 3: 3, purification of the ministry. 

We should know that the LORD is faithful to ancestors and therefore He would CREATE A HOLY SEED OUT OF ISRAEL TO CONTINUE THE GENERATIONS OF ISRAEL. It will happen with a NEW COVENANT, Ezk 16.60,62, Is 59.21 .

Promise of eternal inheritance, IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH THE MEDIATOR, JESUS CHRIST! Heb 9: 15.

If ISRAEL does not get a new heart and spirit, they will die,Eze 18:31-but the LORD will give them a new heart and new spirit-

Eze 36:26 TO REVIVE THEM, Acts 15: 16 He will build again the ruins of ministry. JESUS CHRIST makes new covenant, Ro 11:27, Jer 31:33 , Heb 8:10, Heb 10:16—He will take their sins away and make them follow His laws and words, .

As the way of the LORD is in the SANCTUARY, Ps. 77.13,(the LORD DOES every thing in THE HOUSE OF GOD), and He had chosen ISRAEL, 1 Chr 16.13, Ps. 135.4, Is 44.1, David and Jerusalem, 1 Kg 11.32, 2 Chr 6.6. THEREFORE JESUS CHRIST IS PREPARING A MINISTRY OUT OF ISRAEL! (the LORD loves the way David worshipped the LORD, He would revive his way of worship, Acts 15: 16, Zec 12: 8-10).

But Jerusalem where David worshipped the LORD became an abomination, Ezk 16.2, Mal 2.11.

2

Therefore He came a second time apart from sin to give salvation, Heb 9.28. He came as an High Priest forever, Heb 6.20, 7.17,21. Rom 9.28. He is the leader of all priests, He will be King of King Priests, 1Pe 2:9 , LORD OF LORD’s, King of Peace, King of Righteousness, King of Salem and will rule ISRAEL for ever. THEREFORE HOLY GENERATIONS of ISRAEL WOULD CONTINUE FOREVER Isa. 59.21 AND THE PEOPLE WOULD WORSHIP HIM AS HE WILLS, Isa. 66.22, 23, the priesthood has to “shew forth the praises of Him”, 1Pe 2:9.

When ISRAEL is corrected and their captivity returned, JESUS CHRIST WOULD HAVE PERFORMED HIS WILL. To do all these He is doing a short work on this earth, Rom 9.28 and got His outer court gentiles to work among spiritual ISRAEL- Revelations 11.2-4,

Isa. 14.1-2, Zec 12.8-10, Isa 56.4-7, Isa 61:6.

WITHOUT BLOOD A COVENANT WOULD NOT BE EFFECTIVE, Heb chapter 9,. THEREFORE HE DID ALL THE WORK NECESSARY FOR THE NEW   COVENANT  THROUGH THE BLOOD HE SHED FOR US ON THE CROSS. In this atricle you would see with scriptural proof of the works He did on the CROSS THROUGH HIS BLOOD.( Some of them are redemtion, salvation, reconciliation, propitiation, redemtion, attonment, giving peace).

ALL DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST should have FULL knowledge of Him to become His disciples, that is why they are given knowlegde to cover the spiritual sea, Isa 11:9, Hab 2:14 , the LORD CONSIDERS the spiritual ISRAEL as they are in A spiritual SEA, La 2: 13.

HE HAD GIVEN ABUNDANT KNOWLEDGE TO ISRAEL THROUGH GENTILES, Isa 61: 6.

The LORD had given many benefits to believers through the blood HE SHED ON THE CROSS. Therefore first of all, the MINISTRY should know all these, to abide in Him, Joh 15:4, 7.

Ro 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

When one LEARNS AND ACCEPTS all things He had given through His death on the cross, YOU GET BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH!

The things He had given are deep things, we should reverance OUR LORD FOR DOING ALL THESE THINGS for us!

For example, we know His love—it is agape love!

His suffering—is long suffering Ro 2:4

Removing our sins-- As far as the east is from the west, Ps 103:12. 

(Whatever He does is in huge measurement, we cannot even understand!)

3

BELIEVER’S GET ALL THESE BENEFITS HE HAD GIVEN THROUGH HIS DEATH, WHEN THEY ARE BAPTIZED INTO HIS NAME.

WHEN BAPTISED INTO HIS NAME HE even GIVES THE HELPER, HOLY SPIRIT to the believers.

Spirit is the words—Jn 6: 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.

He also requires each one of us to bear his cross, FIND OUT WHY HE SAID SO FROM THIS ARTICLE.  

Ro 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

A FEW FACTS ON BAPTISM OF JESUS CHRIST-

Paul and Peter preached baptism in the name of JESUS CHRIST to receive Holy spirit--

Acts 19: 4 -6 –when you are baptised into the name of JESUS CHRIST, you RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT  , Ac 2:38 –Peter too said the same thing, that you would receive Holy spirit.

Mt 3:16  And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

BAPTISM OF JESUS CHRIST CONCERNS WATER AND SPIRIT!

Even when JESUS CHRIST came out of water , the spirit descended on Him.

THAT IS A SYMBOL THAT WE TOO WOULD RECEIVE “HOLY SPIRIT”.

Scriptures prove that we too need water and spirit through baptizm into His death—to be born again to enter the Kingdom of God!

BAPTISM IS A PROCESS OF CLEANSING FROM SIN, and becoming A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST AS YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND FROM THESE WRITINGS.

Through this baptism, JESUS CHRIST makes peace to make the new covenant!

4

WATER AND SPIRIT-(spirit is word, Jn 6: 63)

1Co 6:11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Eph 5:26  That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Tit 2:14  Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

1Jo 5:1  Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: 

Mt 11: 2-6 Jesus affirms John that HE IS CHRIST,

VS. 6: And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me.

DISCIPLES TO BELIEVE HIM, OUR CAPTAIN OF SALVATION,-

Heb 2:10  For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

IF ANYONE DOES NOT BELIEVE SCRIPTURES, Ro 8:9  HE IS NOT OF GOD!

Why does the scripture say, Rom 9: 29-33?

Gentiles attained Righteousness of faith, but ISRAEL did not attain to the Righteousness of law—SO GENTILES ARE TO TEACH THESE TO ISRAEL, VS. 29. if the gentiles were not there, ISRAEL would have been as GOMORRAH!

WE HAVE TO BE VIGILANT—DO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL KNOW ALL FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST TO BELIEVE HIM?

If one believes in God, even the devils believe and tremble, Jas 2:19

Why did PCG consider JESUS CHRIST as a peon who gave the book of Revelations to John? THAT SHOW PCG DOES NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST! Hiding errors will not take us anywhere—BUT ADMITTING AND CORRECTING WILL LEAD ONE TO JESUS CHRIST!

When we were in PCG, and WCG, we were not taught much about JESUS CHRIST, OR THE NEW TESTAMENT!

The mysteries of JESUS CHRIST were to be revealed later to gentiles- as ISRAEL did not believe , Acts 28: 28, Ac 13:46, Col 1:27- Col 2:2-,

So when PCG failed, Re 11: 2-4 gentiles were known all mysteries of Kingdom of God.

5

Gentiles are stewards of mysteries of God, and are accountable for their work, and they should be faithful- 1Co 4:1-2.

IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE KNOWN ALL THINGS OF JESUS CHRIST TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL!

(the rest of that chapter says that OUR WORK WILL BE JUDGED!)

Isa 44: 6--  Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside Me there is no God.

7  And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

8  Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even My witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Re 22: 12  And, behold, I come quickly;13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 16  I Jesus have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. 

SO THE ONE AND ONLY GOD, JESUS CHRIST,Isa 9: 6, the first and the last testifies these things in churches, through His witnesses, Re 11: 2-4!

Above vs. 7—the LORD had DECLARED AND WE ARE TO WRITE THEM IN ORDER! Servants obey their Master and write them!

They have to be faithful to Him, 1Co 4:1-2.

1Pe 4:11  If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

AND WE KNOW GOD IS JESUS CHRIST, Isa 9: 6.

Therefore the witnesses have to show these things –they are the ancient people of Tarshish, Gen 10: 4 speaks of them, (Genesis speaks of ancient things! )Isa 60:9

THE GOD OF OLD TESTAMENT IS THE GOD OF NEW TESTAMENT, HE IS JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD AND CREATOR OF ALL FLESH!

6

We know that the spiritual ISRAEL church is divided, (PCG, UCG, LCG, and so on), and they are not ready as the wife to be married. Their land, the church when ready as the BRIDE OF CHRIST IT WILL BE MARRIED AS the land of NEW JERUSALEM, Re 21:2, Isa 62:4, 5

Isa 62: 4  Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

5  For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

THE LORD IS SEEKING A HOLY HELP-MEET, she is NEW JERUSALEM!

NOW THEY ARE FORSAKEN, BUT WHEN THEY TURN TOWARDS THEIR LORD, JESUS CHRIST, THEY WOULD REJOICE AND BE GLAD AS THE LORD WILL BLESS THEM DOUBLE, Isa 61:7  For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

BUT NOW SPIRITUAL ISRAEL HAVE TO EXAMINE AND LEARN THE WORD OF GOD TO DO THEM.

-Lu 4:4  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

LOOK AT THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO BE BORN OF GOD TO BE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD--

Joh 3:5  Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

When we eat every word of God, we shall live!

Acts 2: 21  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Born of water and spirit is to be baptised, (JESUS CHRIST came out of water, and the spirit decended on Him),

JESUS CHRIST came in clouds (water), Eze. 30; 3, and the words are given through the gentiles of Ez 30: 3, Acts 2; 17, 18, Joel 2: 28, 29.words are spirit, Jn 6: 63.

THE WORDS ARE CLEAR, WE ARE BAPTISED INTO HIS DEATH-

Ro 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

1Jo 4:7- every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

One has to know “the love of JESUS CHRIST”

Then we shall be born of God!

7

One should know God to be in His kingdom, AND WE ARE TO LOVE GOD AND ONE ANOTHER as we had learnt, 1Co 8:3  But if any man love God, the same is known of him.- 1Jo 4:20  If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:Joh 13:35  By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another, Joh 13:34, Joh 15:12, 17, Ro 12:10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Ga 5:13-by love serve one another.-- Eph 4:2  With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;-- 1Th 4:9-ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.-- 1Pe 1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:- 1Jo 5:2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments.—(commandments are the changed laws of Christ –Heb 7:12, they show how to love one another, just like the above examples).

THE WORDS OF THOSE VSS, ARE SPIRIT, one has to be led by the spirit, TO LOVE as those words said!

WE ARE TO PRACTICE THE WAY OF JESUS CHRIST, OUR GOD!

1Jo 5:18  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.

If we keep the loving commandments of JESUS CHRIST, we would not sin against one another, the devil cannot influence us!

We who are born of God, keep ourselves from sinning!

WE ARE TO GUARD OURSELVES!

8

WE ARE TO OVERCOME THE world through faith in JESUS CHRIST-

1Jo 5:4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Ro 3:22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: whether gentile or ISRAEL , all have to believe Him!

Have faith in His words to save them through His blood shed on the cross!

OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST BRINGS VICTORY TO OVERCOME THE WORLD!

Ro 5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Col 1:20  And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself;

JESUS CHRIST IS RECONCILING ALL UNTO HIMSELF THROUGH the BLOOD of HIS CROSS!—through His death!

The following articles would help you to understand more on faith in JESUS CHRIST--

• “fight the good fight of faith”—of 23/9/10
• “righteous requirement of law fulfills, Rom 8: 4”-of 25/9/10
• Christ is the end of the law for Righteousness to believers, Rom 10: 4”—of 18/11/10
• “when you are saved without law, you are under the LAW TO CHRIST, 1 CO 9: 21”—of 22/11/10
• “GOSPEL OF GRACE LEADS TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF KNOWLEDGE of JESUS CHRIST  2 PET 1.8”—of 2/12/10
• PART 1 CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST , THE POWER OF GOD 1 CO 1.18- of 4/1 2011

Joh 3:3- Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Then we should know how we would be born of water and spirit!

One has to be BORN AGAIN, of WATER and SPIRIT, ONE HAS TO KNOW GOD FULLY, know TO LOVE, OVERCOME THE WORLD, HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, and have PEACE WITH GOD—

Spiritual ISRAEL had angered the LORD, THEY ARE Laodicean, SPIRITUALLY DEAD, -BUT NOW HE IS MERCIFUL TO BUILD SPIRITUAL ISRAEL-THEY HAVE TO BE BORN AGAIN!

BORN AGAIN OF WATER AND SPIRIT!

Isa 13:9  Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.(in Isa 62: 4,5, the land forsaken was no more desolate, in Isa 13: 9 THE LORD’S ANGER CAUSED CHURCH TO BE WITHOUT Revelations OF GOD, Am 8:11, the LORD destroys the wickedness, Isa 9: 18).

Isa 54:8  In a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

9

Isa 60:10  And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in My wrath I smote thee, but in My favour have I had mercy on thee.

Those vss showed that during the DAY OF THE LORD, the spiritual land of ISRAEL (spiritual Jerusalem, the church) would be desolate, He would remove SIN from them, AND REVIVE THE LAND so that IT IS NO MORE DESOLATE! It is strangers that would build the spiritual walls!

Isa 60: 3, 9 THE SHIPS OF Tarshish, THE GENTILES OF RE 11: 2-4 ARE BUILDING THE WALLS OF Jerusalem TO PREPARE NEW JERUSALEM!

TO GIVE THEM WATER THE LORD CAME WITH RAIN, Ho 6:3- Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD:--- He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

IF YOU FOLLOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST, HE WOULD COME AS WATER!—WATER FROM LATTER AND FORMER RAIN!

A LOT OF SPIRITUAL WATER WILL COME TO LAND OF ISRAEL, the church, FROM THE strangers! STRANGERS ARE NON ISRAEL, Eph 2:12, --

Isa 14:1  For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.  

SO SPIRITUALLY THE STRANGERS ARE ALWAYS WRITING TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL! The LORD had made this connection!

Eze 47:22—these strangers -- shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

THE LORD WHO DOES ALL THESE THINGS, KNOWS BEST HOW TO RECONCILE THEM TO HIM--

10

Ro 6:4  Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

After baptism, walk in NEWNESS OF LIFE!

Spiritually dead, are to be buried with Him THROUGH BAPTISM OF JESUS CHRIST and THEY RAISE FROM DEAD in NEWNESS OF LIFE!

THEY COME OUT SINLESS!—SINS ARE WASHED AWAY COMPLETELY, WHEN YOU BELIEVE HIM AND BE BAPTISED INTO HIS NAME!

THEY GO THROUGH THE WATER OF JESUS CHRIST TO BE WASHED CLEAN!—Zec 13: 1--In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

We are then BURIED with Him through BAPTISM into His DEATH ON THE CROSS. (find more biblical explanations in this article).

WHEN WE ARE RAISED we are new men, WE SHOULD BE DIFFERENT PEOPLE, resurrected to WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE.

 (you would find details in this article).

1Jo 3:9  Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

UNLESS ONE BELIEVES IN JESUS CHRIST, HE CANNOT BE BORN OF GOD- 1Jo 5:1  Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God- 1Jo 5:4  For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world––our faith.

11

OUR FAITH TO BECOME A SON OF GOD IS THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST –prove biblically-

Ga 3:26  For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

If you do not have faith in JESUS CHRIST, you are NOT A SON OF GOD!

IF YOU THINK JESUS CHRIST IS ANOTHER GOD INFERIOR TO GOD THE FATHER, YOU ARE NOT BELIEVING THE ONLY GOD JESUS CHRIST, Isa 9: 6!

YOU ARE THEN GIVING A SECOND PLACE TO JESUS CHRIST!

It is not correct—JESUS CHRIST DID EVERYTHING TO SAVE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, HIS CHOSEN!—

HE EVEN SACRIFICED HIS LIFE, AND PAID THE PENALTY ON THE CROSS, SUFFERING ON THE CROSS on behalf of HIS CHOSEN SPIRITUAL ISRAEL!

IS IT A RIGHT THING IF YOU DO NOT GLORIFY HIM?

Ga 2:16- we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law-

Php 3:9- righteousness which is from God by faith---IS -- through faith in Christ,

Col 1:4  since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

PAUL REJOICED TO SEE THE STEADFASTNESS OF FAITH—

Col 2:5- I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

12

IF YOU PUT ALL THOSE VSS together,-

To become a son of God, one has to overcome the world through OUR FAITH in JESUS CHRIST,

When we are baptized INTO HIS DEATH, we are forgiven through the SACRIFICE OF JESUS ON THE CROSS, as He bore sins of us----

We come out of baptism SINLESS!

Thereafter we walk in NEWNESS of LIFE,

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

THEN WE WORK being careful NOT TO SIN ANYMORE!

This is why the LORD gives abundant knowledge to spiritual ISRAEL who are considered to be in spiritual sea, La 2; 13, Isa 11:9, Hab 2:14/

And we KNOW TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER-

1Jo 4:7  Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

The sons of God should know their father, JESUS CHRIST, Isa 9: 6, as a GOD OF LOVE and  GOD OF PEACE!.

WILL HE APPROVE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL BEING DIVIDED?

BELIEVERS OUGHT TO CHECK ON THESE THINGS!

Mt 16:24 - Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Lu 14:27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.

Mt 10:38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.

IT IS CLEAR THAT WE HAVE TO BEAR OUR CROSSES, IF WE SAY WE ARE HIS DISCIPLES!

WHY SHOULD WE BEAR THE CROSS?

GAL 5: 24  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

WE HAVE TO CRUCIFY FLESH—THEN WE OUGHT TO BEAR THE CROSS, TO USE IT WHENEVER WE COME ACROSS LUSTS OF THE FLESH!

The LORD got victory FOR ALL our sins FROM HIS CROSS—and now we are to carry our own crosses,

TO CRUCIFY AND OVERCOME FLESH, and WORLD, mentioned in Gal 5: 19-21 and in other places.

The LORD had given each one of us, A CROSS!

Mt 10:38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.

13

ONE OUGHT TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CROSS!

We are to be born of God, have faith in JESUS CHRIST, baptised into the name of JESUS CHRIST, through the death of JESUS CHRIST on the CROSS, through which the LORD HAD DONE MANY THINGS FOR US TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO BE IN THE Kingdom of JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS CHRIST ENABLES US TO BE PART OF NEW JERUSALEM, through HIS CROSS!

Prove many things regarding BAPTISM  in relation to THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST, scripturally, through these writings!

AND ALL PRAISE TO JESUS CHRIST for the mighty WORKS DONE through THE CROSS WHICH WAS borne BY HIM!

We are to worship Him and praise Him --

HE HAD MAGNIFIED HIS WORD above ALL HIS NAME TO SHOW ALL THE WONDERS OF HIS WORK!

Ps. 138: 2- I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

In early new testament times they had not heard much about Holy spirit-

Acts 19-1 -  And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples

2  he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

3  And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John’s baptism."

THEY DID NOT KNOW OF HOLY SPIRIT!

Then those who were baptized into John had not heard much about Holy spirit!

JOHN FORETOLD OF BAPTISM OF JESUS CHRIST-

Mt 3: 11  I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:--12--Whose fan is in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

WHEN JESUS CHRIST BAPTIZES with HOLY SPIRIT and FIRE, HE WILL BURN THE CHAFF WITH THAT FIRE!

The fire is UNQUENCHABLE! HE WILL BURN THE CHAFF FOR SURE!

WHEN HE BAPTISES, HE WILL BURN THE INIQUITY THROUGHLY PURGING THE FLOOR!

During the short work, Rom 9: 28, this is what the LORD would do!

It is also Mal 3: 3.

14

PAUL PREACHED TO BE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST

Acts 19: 4  Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."

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

6  And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

SO WHEN YOU ARE BAPTISED INTO CHRIST, YOU RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT!—THEN YOU WOULD PROPHESY! And in the last days it would happen again, Acts 2: 17,18, Joel 2: 28,29.

PETER TOO PREACHED THE SAME THING—

Ac 2:38  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

PETER AND PAUL PREACHED JESUS CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM, THEY PREACHED ABOUT HOLY SPIRIT.

AND THESE WRITINGS WOULD PROVE THAT JESUS CHRIST HAD BAPTISED GENTILES, AND through them, HE IS BAPTIZING ISRAEL WITH HOLY SPIRIT!

When the words of JESUS CHRIST as fire, Jer 23: 29 – ( Is not My word like as a fire? saith the LORD;) , and words as Holy spirit, Jn 6: 63 goes to ISRAEL from gentiles, HE IS BAPTIZING SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST JUST AS THE GENTILES DO!

The LORD had magnified His words more than the name, Ps. 138: 2, A WHOLE LOT OF WORDS GOES FROM THE WORK OF WITNESSES OF JESUS CHRIST!

Gentiles have faith in JESUS CHRIST, believe that He had saved them, and that He will give them the promise at His return, Re 22: 12.

Mt 11:13  For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

Lu 16:16  The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

Joh 4:2  (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

JESUS CHRIST DID NOT BAPTIZE THEN, BUT HE IS BAPTIZING NOW DURING HIS SHORT WORK WHEN THE Kingdom of God IS PREACHED!

Mr 16:16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

WHEN JESUS CHRIST IS BAPTIZING WITH HOLY SPIRIT, IT IS THE LOVING LAWS from the word OF JESUS CHRIST that has to be honoured, BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST PREACHES HIS KINGDOM!

OLD LAW WAS UNTIL JOHN, ,BUT NOW IT IS OF JESUS CHRIST ,WHEN HE BAPTIZES WITH HOLY SPIRIT.

Joh 14:11- believe me for the very works‘ sake.

HIS WORKS ARE WRITTEN IN THE WORD!

Now one could see His work among gentiles!

Therefore we are to believe HIS WORDS and WORK accordingly.

And EVERY MAN PRESSETH INTO IT—THEY BECOME THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST WHO WOULD FOLLOW HIM!

To be obedient to Him!

15

Isa 42:21  The LORD is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake; He will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

Joh 4:34  Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work. (His short work to be finished, Ro 9: 28)

Joh 15:10  If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love;

Gal 3: 26  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29  And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Therefore the promise to Abraham would come to all believers.

NOW LOOK, the generation of JESUS CHRIST is not mentioned in Mt 1. after the birth of JESUS CHRIST there is no record, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO HOLY SEED TO continue –A HOLY SEED HAD TO BE MADE!

THIS IS WHAT THE LORD IS DOING TO MAKE A HOLY SEED TO COME OUT OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL TO CONTINUE THE GENERATIONS –Isa 59: 21 would happen when the BRIDE PRODUCES A HOLY SEED!

GENTILES ARE CONSIDERED A HOLY SEED, Ro 9:29  (if they do not fall, Rom 11: 22, 1 Tim 4: 1, that means if you do not continue in the goodness of God, you could fall like the ISRAEL in history fell, 1Co 10: 1-11)

So even the spiritual ISRAEL are admonished to be strong, and steadfast in the faith in JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS CHRIST did not baptize then, John 4: 2,

BUT HE WOULD BAPTIZE WITH FIRE, Lu 3:16

but now He had done it as you see THE HOLY SPIRIT BEING GIVEN through the prophecies of gentile maids --Acts 2: 17, 18 have fulfilled in Re 11: 2-4, during LORD’s day, Ez 30: 3, AND THE WORD IS FIRE, Jer 5: 14, --Jer 23:29  "Is not My word like a fire?" says the LORD, HIS WORDS ARE SPIRIT, JN 6: 63-----THEREFORE, JESUS CHRIST HAD BAPTIZED US WITH FIRE and HOLY SPIRIT, AND CLEANSED US AS NEW MEN ,TO OBEY HIM AND SERVE HIM IN Righteousness , MAL 3: 18—

16

IN HISTORY--

1 Co 10: 1 -  Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;2  And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;3  And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

NOW—

Eze. 30: 3 the LORD’s day HE CAME IN CLOUDS, AND SPIRITUAL ISRAEL IS CONSIDERED AS IN A SEA, LA 2: 13!

SO SPIRITUAL CLOUD AND SEA HAD FULFILLED IN THE DAY OF THE LORD!

Rom 6: 6  knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

7  For he who has died has been freed from sin.

8  Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

IF YOU BELIEVE IN BAPTISM OF THE LORD, TO CRUCIFY THE OLD MAN IN YOU, you shall also LIVE WITH HIM!

THE Laodiceans who are DEAD IN CHRIST have to LIVE WITH HIM! 1Th 4:16 (the LORD is shouting with HIS WORDS to raise the dead!)

OUR OLD MAN WAS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM!

OUR SINS WERE FORGIVEN through HIS CROSS—HE SUFFERED FOR OUR SINS ON OUR BEHALF!

We are freed from our sins, and we LIVE WITH HIM.

The LORD died as a sacrifce for OUR PAST SINS!

AND THAT IS ONE SACRIFICE, there is NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!

ROM 6: 9  knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

10  For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

11  Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

HE DIED ONCE FOR ALL—therefore, HE CANNOT DIE AGAIN-(death has no power on Him to kill Him again!) then He cannot make a sacrfifice again!

After the old man was crucified with Him, we have to bear our own crosses as written above!

IF YOU SIN AGAIN, YOU ARE TRYING TO PIERCE HIM AGAIN!

-Heb 10: 14  For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS PERFECTED THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED—the LORD had SANCTIFIED the gentiles and called out ISRAEL first of all people—they are to be first fruits to Him, the gentiles were made first fruits, Isa 14: 30, they are to give that light to ISRAEL, Isa 60: 3, to make the first fruits of ISRAEL! (FIRST FRUITS HAVE TO BECOME “HOLINESS UNTO HIM, TO SERVE HIM, Zec 14:20  In that day "HOLINESS TO THE LORD"---), Jer 2:3

THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL HAVE TO BELIEVE IN HIS WORDS!

17

Heb 10: 15  Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us:

TO ENABLE TO MAKE THEM FRUITS UNTO HIM HE MADE A HIGHWAY OF HOLY SPIRIT—the words, Jn 6: 63, to give life to ISRAEL through their baptism into JESUS CHRIST IS BEING SENT BY HIM through HIS servants, the gentiles—IT IS A HIGHWAY OF

HOLY SPIRIT--Isa 35:8  A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray.

As above vs. 15 said—Holy Spirit is a witness, the Holy spirit given is a guarantee, 2Co 1:22 , 2Co 5:5 (Spirit as a guarantee.), for us THAT THE LORD IS DOING HIS WORK TO GET THE ISRAEL RETURN FROM THEIR CAPTIVITY, Ez 39: 23, 28--‘then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer..

SO BY HIS ONE OFFERING ON THE CROSS, HE IS GETTING SPIRITUAL ISRAEL IN HIS CHURCH, (who are spiritual Laodicean right now) BACK TO GIVE THEIR INHERITANCE, giving them LIFE through HIS DEATH.

WE SEE THE POWER OF HIS CROSS!

It is the BAPTISM through THE CROSS, by water and spirit.

Rom 6: 12  Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

13  And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

HERE IS A COMMANDMENT OF JESUS CHRIST—

“DO NOT LET SIN REIGN IN YOUR BODY” so that you --

“DO NOT OBEY THE SINFUL LUSTS”!

Read—

• JESUS CHRIST CHANGES FILTHY RAGS INTO RIGHTEOUS CLOTHES of 27/12/2010

18

ROM 6: 14  For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

15  What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

ONCE WE ARE PURIFIED OF OUR SINS THROUGH HIS GRACE, WE SHOULD OBEY JESUS CHRIST –

ISRAEL were helpless to enter the marriage covenant of Re 19: 7, as they had sins proven through law, and JESUS CHRIST HELPED THEM THROUGH HIS GRACE, DYING ON THE CROSS, PAYING THE PENALTY FOR THEM through the cross, where HE SUFFERED!—HE IS SENDING SPIRITUAL CLOTHES TO THE WIFE OF RE 19: 7

HE ONLY WANTS YOU TO HAVE FAITH IN HIM AND DO WHAT HE SAYS!

ROM 6: 16  Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

17  But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

18  And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

GENTILES BECAME SLAVES OF Righteousness –SIMILARLY THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL SHOULD ALSO BECOME SLAVES OF Righteousness!

19

SO NOW WHEN YOU ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST TO BE OBEDIENT TO HIM, AS HE IS THE LEADER, HE SHOULD HAVE PREEMINENCE, Col 1:18  And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

JUST LIKE GENTILES, ISRAEL SHOULD BE SLAVES OF HIS Righteousness –WE ARE TO DO THE LOVING COMMANDMENTS OF JESUS CHRIST!

HE MADE IT EASY FOR US TO LOVE LIKE HIM--

HE POURED “HIS LOVE” ALONG WITH HOLY SPIRIT-

Ro 5:5  Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

1 CO 15: 58, 1Ti 4: 14 -16 the SERVANTS OF GOD HAVE TO SEND THE WORD OF GOD what they were given through PROPHECY—ACTS 2: 17-18, Joel 2: 28-29, Re 11: 2-4, AND THEREFORE when those servants of JESUS CHRIST send the WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST, LOVE OF GOD IS BEING POURED INTO YOUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!

SO WHEN YOU ARE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT (the knowledge of His words, Jn 6: 63), AND YOU GET GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, CHAPTERS 1Co 12, 13,

Ro 12:6 shows the gifts of Holy Spirit given TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE.PLEASE READ THOSE CHAPTERS.

20

NOW THE LORD HAD GIVEN A COVERING FOR THE CHURCH, WITH KNOWLEDGE-

A COVERING in Isa 11: 9, Hab 2: 14, GIVEN as He did not approve the Covering of ISRAEL, Isa 30:1- that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

THE LORD MADE THEIR COVERING AS SACKCLOTH, when He punished them, Isa 50:1-3, when He tread them, La 1: 15.

This knowledge of JESUS CHRIST is given through words, His spirit, in abundance to gentiles—and gentiles HAD SENT THESE TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, Isa 11:9, Hab 2:14  For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea. (the SEA BEING SPIRITUAL ISRAEL—LA 2: 13—ISRAEL compared to sea!---AND THE LORD HAD FILLED SPIRITUAL ISRAEL WITH HOLY SPIRIT).

SO PLEASE DO NOT FIND FAULT WITH GENTILES OR JESUS CHRIST, WHEN THE FINAL END COMES –(saying “no one conveyed the messages of JESUS CHRIST” when THE LORD COMES AS RE 22 SAYS.

We gentiles have given the messages and IT IS UP TO ISRAEL TO ACT UPON THE WORDS!—YOU OUGHT TO KNOW THAT THE LORD HAD PROPHESIED OF GENTILES OF OUTER COURT, RE 11: 2-4—THEN IF ISRAEL REFUSES TO BELIEVE THE PROPHECIES, NO ONE SHOULD BE BLAMED WHEN ALL THINGS COME TO AN END!

Well, the end keeps approaching very close!

BECAUSE HE HAD POURED HIS SPIRIT ALONG WITH HIS WORDS, WE ARE BAPTISED INTO HIM—

ISRAEL AND GENTILES ARE BAPTISED INTO JESUS CHRIST!

The words of JESUS CHRIST are going to spiritual ISRAEL, and there is no excuse!

21

RISEN WITH HIM—through Faith, according to the work (operation) of JESUS CHRIST-

Col 2: - 12  Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.-13--  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

NOTICE, WE GET BURIED WITH HIM, HE GOT BURIED AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION, HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS IS EFFECTIVE FOR OUR BAPTISM!

IT IS THE WAY JESUS CHRIST WORKS!

WHEN WE GET BAPTISED INTO HIS DEATH, (Ro 6:3- so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death),

WHEN WE WERE SPIRITUALLY DEAD IN OUR SINS, HE FORGIVES ALL OUR TRESPASSES, QUICKENS AND RAISES US FROM SPIRITUAL DEATH!

Ps 103:12  As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

THEN WHEN WE GET BAPTISED BY JESUS CHRIST, WE ARE RAISED,---RESURRECTED TO LIFE!

22

WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT JESUS CHRIST PAID THE PENALTY FOR OUR SINS, AND THEREFORE WHEN WE ARE RAISED FROM BAPTISM INTO JESUS CHRIST,

WE ARE RAISED SINLESS!

COMPLETELY FORGIVEN!

NEW CREATURES JUST AS NEW BORNS!

THEREAFTER WE ARE TO MAINTAIN GOOD WORKS,

Goodness of God leadeth ONE to repentance, THE LORD HAD GIVEN riches of His goodness, Ro 2:4-- Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

IF GOODNESS OF GOD WORKS IN YOU—YOU WOULD COME TO REPENTANCE!

Message bible reads—Rom 2: 4- Or did you think that because He’s such a nice God, He’d let you off the hook? Better think this one through from the beginning. God is kind, but He’s not soft. In kindness He takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.

REPEATING--

In kindness He takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.

FOR THIS LIFE-CHANGE, HE GIVES US RICHES OF HIS GOODNESS-

WE SHOULD NOT DESPISE THEM!

—THEN WE SHOULD EXAMINE WHAT ARE THESE RICHES—THEY ARE THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS, THE Judgments OF HIS that leads US TO MAINTAIN THE GOOD WORKS.

If we find out that WE HAD FAILED IN SOME OF THESE GOOD WORKS, we should IMMEDIATELY REPENT AND CORRECT OUR SELVES!

There is even a warning to the gentiles, to remain in His goodness, Ro 11:22, - Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Message bible reads Rom 11: 22— Make sure you stay alert to these qualities of gentle kindness and ruthless severity that exist side by side in God—ruthless with the deadwood, gentle with the grafted shoot. But don’t presume on this gentleness. The moment you become deadwood, you’re out of there.

ISRAEL became dead wood (Laodicean). Jer 5: 14, the LORD gave them into the hands of women to burn, Isa 27:11

BUT GENTILES SHOULD REMAIN IN THE GOODNESS OF GOD AND not become dead wood!

They are to be followers of the word of JESUS CHRIST!

We should be mindful of our LORD JESUS CHRIST who is very very HOLY!

23

GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD-

With examples we could see the severity of God—His healthy ruthlessness is shown when He corrects Moses, Aaron, and David-

If God did not punish Moses, David and other leaders, the people too would do what they want!

The LORD does not want it that way—BUT HE NEEDS COMPLETE OBEDIENCE TO HIM IN HIS TEMPLE!

Moses hit the rock instead of speaking to the rock to give water to the people—and he was punished for that –GOD DID NOT ALLOW HIM TO GO TO THE PROMISED LAND!

Nu 20:8  - LORD’S INSTRUCTION WAS TO SPEAK TO THE ROCK TO GET WATER—BUT MOSES SMOTE THE ROCK TWICE-VS. 11  : and the water came out abundantly,--NEXT VS.--

12  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed Me not,--- ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. De 32:49  Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo,-- De 32:50  And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor,-- De 34:4  - I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.

AND THE WORK OF THE LORD CONTINUES WITH Joshua-

Jos 1:2  Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan,

MOSES IS ONE WHO LOVED THE LAW OF GOD –HE EVEN DESTROYED THE TABLETS WRITTEN BY GOD’S FINGER WHEN MOSES GOT ANGRY WITH AARON AND PEOPLE FOR BREAKING THE LAW- Ex. 32; 19  And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

AND MOSES PLEADED FOR THE PEOPLE ,

WHAT WAS THE REPLY OF GOD?

Ex. 32: 32  Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin––; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

33  And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.

34  Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, Mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

35  And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

THE LORD WILL CUT OFF THE SINNERS!

25

Joh 6:49  Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.—NU 26: 62-65 RECORDS THAT THE FATHERS WERE DEAD OTHER THAN CALEB AND JOSHUA.

THE LORD KNOWS WHO SINS AGAINST HIM, IT IS NAKED TO HIS EYES!

THE LORD PUNISHES ACCORDING TO HIS COUNSEL—HE KNOWS BEST HOW TO DO IN EACH CIRCUMSTANCE.

GOD KNEW WHEN HE WOULD GIVE SALVATION TO HIS PEOPLE AND THAT THEY are TO BE TAUGHT OF HIS WORDS, Ps. 138: 2.

THEN THE PEOPLE SHOULD FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE WORD.

IF YOU ARE CALLED A CHRISTIAN--

2Ti 2:19- Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Joh 6:58  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.

LORD JESUS CHRIST IS VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT THE EVERLASTING COVENANT!

HE SEES THAT HIS PEOPLE EAT HIS BREAD!

WHEN WE EAT THE LORD’S FOOD, WE ARE TO LIVE BY EVERY WORD- Mt 4:4, Lu 4:4  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

THE LORD’S LAW IS ASSOCIATED WITH DOING GOOD-

Ga 6:10  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

1Ti 6:18  That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

Heb 13:16  But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Jas 4:17  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

1Pe 3:11  Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.—AVOID EVIL AND DO GOOD!

CHOOSE GAL 5; 22-23, AND AVOID GAL 5: 19-21.

26

SO NOBODY SHOULD GO BACK TO SIN, THEY SHOULD HATE SIN, they should follow the instructions of JESUS CHRIST, AND LEAD A NEW LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST, through the BAPTISM of JESUS CHRIST!

DO THE WORKS OF FAITH WITH POWER--

2Th 1:11  Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith with power:

SO WE NEED TO PRAY AND MAKE SURE TO FULFILL THE PLEASURE OF HIS GOODNESS,   --WE ARE TO BE FOUND WORTHY OF THIS CALLING, AFTER BECOMING NEW MEN, REPENTING ALWAYS when we err or sin (new born babes could fall while walking!), AND MAINTAIN good works.

NEVER STRAY FROM GOOD WORKS!

WHEN CAPTIVITY OF ISRAEL RETURNS—THEY WILL SEEK THE LORD AND NEVER GO ASTRAY—

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.

THEY LEARN TO FEAR JESUS CHRIST AND WILL NOT SIN ANYMORE!

THEY WILL LEARN TO BE OBEDIENT TO HIS COMMANDS, JUDGMENTS, INSTRUCTIONS AND REMEMBER TO DO THEM!

All possible with the LORD’s short work, Rom 9: 28.

The message bible reads-

Hos 3: 5- But in time they’ll come back, these Israelites, come back looking for their GOD and their David-King. They’ll come back chastened to reverence before GOD and His good gifts, ready for the End of the story of His love.

ALL PRAISE TO JESUS CHRIST WHO ENABLED ALL THESE THROUGH HIS CROSS!

He had given a lot of benefits through HIS CROSS!

Read—

PART 1 CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST , THE POWER OF GOD 1 CO 1.18

(more writings will follow on “the cross of Jesus”).

27

THE OFFERING OF CHRIST IS ONCE ONLY—to the BRIDE OF JESUS CHRIST, SO THAT SHE BEARS FRUIT TO GOD!

Ro 6:9  knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

Ro 7:4  Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another––to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

Revelations 19: 7 SHOULD HAPPEN TO BEAR FRUIT TO JESUS CHRIST! (gentiles are already bearing fruit to JESUS CHRIST as they serve Him, we are the first fruits, Isa 14: 30, the seed of Rom 9: 29)

After RE 19: 7  ONLY A HOLY SEED WOULD COME TO CONTINUE THE GENERATIONS OF ISRAEL , Isa 59: 21.

ISRAEL believed in the law, but law cannot save any, therefore ISRAEL have to believe in JESUS CHRIST-

Ro 9:31  but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

Ro 10:4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Ga 2:21  "I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."

THE LAW CANNOT RULE OVER YOU WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST- Ro 7:4  Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ--

Ro 10:9  that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO APPRECIATE HIS WORK ON THE CROSS, shedding HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD!

The work on the cross had been preplanned by Him-

Ac 2:23  Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Ac 3:18  But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer, He hath so fulfilled.

Ac 15:18  Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world.

28

Here are some other work of the cross in the last times-

1Pe 1: ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,---19  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

1Pe 1:20  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

These things were pre planned as written, BUT MANIFEST IN THE LAST DAYS—THEY FULFILL IN THE LAST DAYS, during HIS SHORT WORK, ROM 9: 28, served by those of vs. 29-33, those vss say ISRAEL failed, and gentiles serve the LORD as a seed.

Through their work, THE LORD PROVED that the LORD’s servants of SPIRITUAL ISRAEL ERRED. HE HAD GIVEN them a period of 70 years TO PROVE THEMSELVES.

Isa 23:15 -Now it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

The LORD forgot His Jerusalem considered as spiritual Tyre, allowed to be ruled by H.W.Armstrong and Gerald Flurry who established H.W.Armstrong!

At the end, having failed according to Eze. 16: 15, PCG became the harlot of Re 17: 5.

THAT WAS FULFILLED BY PCG IN THE Bamah MATTER, seen in

http://www.gentileassembly.org/

AT THE END OF SEVENTY YEARS CHURCH WILL BE AGAINST GOD, ACTING AS “NATIONS” THAT COME AGAINST ISRAEL-

 (prove from Jer chapter 25,

Jer 25: 12  And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished,  15 - For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations,-- to drink it.- 16  And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.—AND THE NATIONS ARE—vs. 18-  To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;

19  Pharaoh king of Egypt,

In Eze. 16: 13, the prophet and ministry were brought to ROYALTY, which means spiritually they are king and princes—THEREFORE THESE PROPHECIES ARE PUNISHMENTS FOR THEM! Jer 25: 10, the church as the bride will have “ voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle” taken AWAY FROM THEM.

THE SWORD SENT IS THE WORD OF GOD, HEB 4: 12.

29

FOR THIS VERY REASON THE LORD MADE A SPIRITUAL Pharaoh-ROM 9: 17 FOR HIS SHORT WORK OF VS. 28.

Ps 92:7 -  When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:---JESUS CHRIST WAITED FOR ALL WICKEDNESS TO ESCALATE!

After the seventy years, when the church fulfilled the wickednesses, their wickedness will be destroyed—

Isa 9: 18  For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

19  Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

One should understand that the LORD uses many spiritual words to describe people of His chosen Jerusalem, 1CO 2: 13

thorns are wicked ministers,- 2Sa 23:6 –sons of Belial

forest is throne of Judgment – in chapter 1Ki 10—you would read about the throne of king Solomon for his famous wisdom and Judgment!

smoke is wickedness as fat, wax, that would burn- Ps 37:20, Ps 68:2

THE LORD IS BOTHERED ABOUT HIS OWN PEOPLE AND HIS OWN COVENANT HE PROMISED TO MAKE!

The whole bible is written for the believers—RIGHT NOW IT IS FOR THE MINISTRY, AND THEN FOR THE GENERATIONS AFTER THEM, Isa 59: 21—

The bible is instructions for those of the LORD!

To whoever wants to become a disciple of His!

To ISRAEL and to GENTILES who would seek Him!

30

SO AS PROMISED TO ANCESTORS THE LORD NEEDS TO MAKE THE NEW COVENANT which will be ETERNAL!

To MAKE THE NEW COVENANT THE LORD NEEDS HIS PEOPLE TO HAVE HIS Righteousness –they should be pure and holy TO BE WITH A HOLY LORD GOD WHO HATES SIN!

IT IS NO SIMPLE TASK TO REMOVE SINS OF PEOPLE AND TO MAKE THEM SIN NO MORE! IT IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH JESUS CHRIST!

Can anyone of us become pure with our own efforts?

Through any law?

SO THE LORD IS PERFORMING A SERIOUS WORK,

When the church erred even after giving many Revelations through many prophets, they sin—Jer 44: 4,5.

So the LORD is angry with HIS OWN CHURCH

Jer 44: 6- Wherefore my fury and Mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.

7  Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;

SPIRITUAL ISRAEL TRIED TO CUT OFF PEOPLE FROM THE CHURCH, OR THE LAND OF GOD, His chosen Jerusalem BY DOING AGAINST THE COUNSELS OF JESUS CHRIST!

HIS WRATH DID MANIFEST IN THE TREADING WORK AND JUDGMENT (through His witnesses of Re 11: 2-4), LA 1: 15.

AND NOW THE BUILDING WORK OF ISRAEL THROUGH HIS MERCY IS ON, Isa 60:10  And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in My wrath I smote thee, but in My favour have I had mercy on thee.

LORD JESUS CHRIST continues His work with His gentile servants.

SPIRITUAL ISRAEL DOES NOT KNOW HOW SERIOUS HIS HOLINESS IS—the LORD should be worshipped in holiness,

Ps 29:2  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Ps 96:9  O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth.

THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO DEPART FROM INIQUITY WHEN WE BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST-

2Ti 2:19- Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

SO WHEN YOU ARE BAPTISED INTO THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE TO DEPART FROM INIQUITY!

SPIRITUAL ISRAEL DOES NOT CONSIDER THESE THINGS!

HOW CAN THE LORD MAKE ETERNAL THINGS WITH PEOPLE LIKE THESE who consider candelabras, chandelliers, prayer rocks, auditoriums, great worldly speeches, works to the world, performing arts etc., TO BUILD UP THE CHURCH!

What a GREAT DISASTER HAD HAPPENED TO THE TRUE GOD’S CHURCH!

31

ONE SHOULD TEACH THE WORSHIPPING WAYS OF THE LORD IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD!

AND WHO COULD TEACH IF ALL ISRAEL HAD FAILED—THE LORD GAVE ALL GOOD THINGS OF HIS TO PCG, Ez 16: 8-14,

And expected to PREPARE THE BRIDE for Re 19: 7, BUT THEY BECAME THE HARLOT OF RE 17: 5 , acting as beasts, the honourable men as beasts,

Ec 3:18- I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

Ps 49:20- Ps 49:20  Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

NOW YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND WHO THE Revelations BEASTS ARE!

WHEN THERE IS NOBODY TO SERVE HIM IN HOLINESS, THE LORD DID MANIFEST AS THE HIGH PRIEST ruling the gentiles, teaching them to serve Him, and shows that honurable men in church had become as beasts!

THE LORD DID MANIFEST AS THE HIGH PRIEST RULING THE GENTILES TO CONTINUE HIS SHORT WORK TO REDEEM SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, Rom 9: 28-33, Zec 12: 8-10, Heb 8: 1. this is all to make the new covenant!

Heb 12:24  to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

1Jo 1:9  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

HIS BLOOD CLEANSES US!

THE BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS CLEANSES US!

HE CHOSE HIS CROSS TO DO HIS WORK OF SALVATION!

THIS IS WHY PAUL SAID--1Co 2:2  For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

please remember that CROSS is involved in His death, shedding blood, His sufferings on the cross, His resurrection, His sacrifice, His offering, remission of sins, redemption, salvation, making peace, reconciliation, new covenant, atonement, Passover to name some--

 --THESE ARE ALL BENEFITS TO US THROUGH THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST, ATTAINED THROUGH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD!

32

If we see more details--

Redemption, grace, propitiation by blood shed on the cross, Ro 3: 24, 25,

Reconciled, Rom 5: 10,

Justified, Rom 5:1, 9, 18, 3: 24

Many made righteous, Rom 5: 19, Rom 3: 21-22,

Ro 5:11  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WAS OFFERED FOR OUR ATONEMENT!

Heb 9:28  so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many.

ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT WE ARE TO REMEMBER HIS BEARING OUR SINS TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR US!

Joh 6:54  Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

HE IS THE Passover SACRIFICE FOR US!

WE ARE RAISED WHEN WE HAVE FAITH IN HIS BLOOD!

Joh 6:57- he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.

1Co 11:24  and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

HOW CAN WE EAT HIS FLESH AND DRINK HIS BLOOD?

Joh 15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.

Joh 15:7  If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

WHEN WE EAT AND DRINK we become nourished, grow and bear fruits. Our LORD considers us as trees- please read-

• “LORD prunes fruit bearing trees”—of 6/11/10
• “discerning spiritual fruits from lusts of the flesh”—of 30/10/10

ON Passover  WE REMEMBER HIS DEATH TO EAT HIS FOOD, TO ABIDE IN HIM AND HIS WORDS, TO DO THEM—

Lu 6:46  And why call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

33

PROPITIATION THROUGH HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS-

1Jo 2:2  And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1Jo 4:10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

SO THE BLOOD ON THE CROSS ARE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD!

WHAT POWER HAS THIS BLOOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST?

WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW GREAT A GOD JESUS CHRIST IS!

HIS ALMIGHTY POWER IS SHOWN IN THE CROSS!

PEACE THROUGH HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS-

Heb 13:20  Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

JESUS CHRIST IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE, Isa 9: 6, KING OF SALEM,

Heb 7:2-"king of righteousness," and then also king of Salem, meaning "king of peace,"

HE BRINGS PEACE THROUGH HIS BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS!

PAUL PREACHED HIM CRUCIFIED, 1Co 1:23

That means he preached facts about CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!

HOW POWERFUL SHOULD BE THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST TO PURIFY THE SINS OF ALL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD?

WE HAVE SUCH A POWERFUL GOD, AND WE SHOULD BE LOYAL TO HIM, FAITHFUL TO HIM!

CONTINUING IN DOING THE THINGS IN THE WORD IS FOLLOWING HIS INSTRUCTIONS or FOLLOWING HIS COMMANDS---it is eating His food--IT IS BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT, AS HIS WORDS ARE SPIRIT, JN 6: 63.

34

JESUS CHRIST GIVES LIGHT TO HIS CALLED OUT-

Just as He created physical light, HE CREATES SPIRITUAL LIGHT OF HIS THROUGH HIS WORDS-

2Co 4:6  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Eph 5:8  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Eph 5:14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

ONCE YOU BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST, HIS LIGHT WOULD SHINE ON US!

Knowledge of God should be SOUGHT IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST!

GENTILES WERE GRAFTED AS ISRAEL FAILED, ROM 9: 29-33, BUT WHEN ISRAEL BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST THEY WILL BE GRAFTED BACK--ROM 11: 17-24--Eze 39:28(all will be saved)

BURIED WITH HIM IN BAPTISM--

Col 2:12  buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.—BELIEVE IN THE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST!

2 Ti 2: 11  This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him.

13  If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.WE COULD GO ASTRAY—BUT HE WILL BE FAITHFUL TO HIS WORDS!  HE WOULD BE FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISE OF THE COVENANT! HE CANNOT GO AGAINST HIS WORDS!

12  If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.—HE WILL DENY US IF WE DENY!

THAT IS WHY THE LORD DENIED SPIRITUAL ISRAEL WHEN THEY WERE NOT FAITHFUL TO THE SPIRITUAL THINGS OF HIS!

We should remember how PCG leader declared that they work with human spirit!

35

RECONCILIATION PAVES THE WAY TO BE SAVED—

RECONCILIATION IS through THE DEATH ON THE CROSS, which WAS THE ATONEMENT FOR US--

ROM 5: 10  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

11-And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

GAL 1: 4  who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

THE PROMISE TO ANCESTORS IS POSSIBLE WITH RESURRECTION

ACTS 13: 32  "And we declare to you glad tidings––that promise which was made to the fathers.

33  "God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus.

34  "And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the sure mercies of David.’

SO THAT IS HOW THE LORD REVIVES DAVID’S THRONE OF consisting of MINISTERS OF GOD, ACTS 15: 16, MAL 3: 3, 18.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF DAVID’S THRONE WHICH WORSHIPS JESUS CHRIST-

JESUS CHRIST RECEIVES THE WORSHIP FROM THE MINISTERS!

The MINISTERS WORSHIP AND TEACH how to worship the LORD! (then they should learn from the high priest of Melchisedek order).

HE IS THE HEAD OF CHURCH-HE IS INCORRUPTIBLE!

ACTS 13: 35  - ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’

36  "For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

37  "but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.

38  "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;

39  "and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

DAVID NOR MOSES IS ABLE TO JUSTIFY!

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID NOT SEE CORRUPTION!

1 CO 15: 56  The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.-57  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(when spiritual ISRAEL tried to keep law to be saved, THEY PROVED THEY CANNOT KEEP THE LAW, THEY FAILED THROUGH LAW).

36

NOW IT IS ONLY POSSIBLE TO BE SAVED IF THEY BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!

THAT IS IF THEY ARE BAPTISED INTO THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!

TO BE BAPTISED ONE NEEDS TO GO THROUGH HIS SPIRIT AND FIRE!

SPIRIT AND FIRE ARE HIS WORDS AS SHOWN IN THESE WRITINGS.

THE LORD HAD GIVEN HIS SPIRIT, THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AS A COVERING—TO COVER THE WHOLE PLACE WHERE THE people of His are—THE LORD CONSIDERS them to be in a sea—

La 2: 13- what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

AND THE LORD SENT A COVERING WITH KNOWLEDGE which THEY LACKED-

Hab 2:14  For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Isa 11:9  They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

ALTHOUGH THESE VSS ARE REPEATED, IT IS GOOD FOR OUR LEARNING!

THE LORD’S DECREE WAS NOT TO HURT—ALTHOUGH THE LORD WAS FURIOUS –HE MADE THE DECREE TO REVIVE IT BY GIVING KNOWLEDGE AS A COVERING.

Ps 105:39  He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

HE CAME IN CLOUDS during the day of the LORD , Ez 30: 3, to cleanse the ministry on LORD’s day, mal 3: 3, it is their night time,

Ho 4:5, and THE LORD’S FIRE, HIS WORDS, Jer 23:29,

COMES TO GIVE LIGHT TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL PROPHET, Ez 2: 5, 33: 33,  AND MINISTRY.

May the day approach soon when SPIRITUAL ISRAEL understand that the LORD SPEAKS SPIRITUALLY, Eph 1:3, 1Pe 2:5, 1Co 2:13 

Joh 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Ro 8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

1Co 2:12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

WHAT ARE THE THINGS GIVEN FREELY?—forgiveness, propitiation, redemption, baptism, knowledge of JESUS CHRIST, reconciliation, atonement, Passover , and the like things.

37

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED spirit of the world (worldly things)

BUT THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST, the words of His, Jn 6: 63,

We are to abide in His words,

Joh 15:7  If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

THE HOLY WORDS, HOLY SPIRIT SHOULD DWELL IN US. The word of God should abide in us, TO DO THEM –then we become HOLY!

ASK FOR SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS--If anyone lacks wisdom pray and ask--Jas 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, --

HIS SERVANTS SHOULD CONTINUE MAKING HIS KNOWLEDGE TO BE HEARD AMONG HIS PEOPLE-

1 CO 15: 58 - Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

1Ti 4: 14  Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

15  Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.

16  Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

WHEN THE LORD GIVES GIFTS OF PROPHECY, ONE SHOULD MAKE THEM KNOWN TO GOD’S PEOPLE, THEREBY PROGRESS IN THE WORK OF THE LORD. The servants themselves should PERFORM THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST by abiding in HIS WORDS and TEACH THEM TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL TO WHOM THE LORD IS POURING HIS MERCY NOW.

Isa 54:8  In a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

THEN IT IS THE DUTY OF THE CALLED OUT ISRAEL TO LISTEN TO HIS WORDS THROUGH HIS present SERVANTS.

38

SO WHEN WE WORK WITH THE SPIRIT (the words, Jn 6: 63), IT SHOULD PROFIT ALL, WE ALL HAVE TO WORK WITH THE SPIRIT, AND PRODUCE GOOD FRUITS, they are fruit to holiness—

Ro 6:22  But now having been set free from sin, - you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

TO BEAR FRUIT WE OUGHT TO OVERCOME CRUCIFYING FLESH-

GAL 5: 24  And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.- 26  Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

THIS HAS TO BE DONE DAILY—

Lu 9:23  Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

In our cross WE MIGHT SEE—pride, envy, provoking others, hatredness, unkindness, not liking to share our things with brethren, and such things mentioned in the word!

THAT CROSS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO CHRIST, follow HIS COMMANDS,  pray and ask for wisdom to GET RID OF YOUR burden —HE WILL LEAD YOU –GUIDE YOU TO BE FREE OF SUCH THINGS!

THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST HAD PAVED THE WAY TO HIM BY HEALING US THROUGH HIS STRIPES-

1Pe 2:24  Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

WHEN WE ACCEPT HIM AND TO DO HIS WAYS, WE ARE HEALED FROM OUR SPIRITUAL DISEASES!

Example—wanton eyes, Isa 3:16, eyes of the lofty, Isa 5:15, dull hearts and heavy ears, Isa 6:10, deaf and blind spiritually, Isa 29:18,

The LORD is making to see the teachers of ISRAEL, Isa 30:20, they are the pastors of Jer 3: 15.- I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

it is the LORD who is opening the blind eyes, Isa 42:7  To open blind eyes,-- 8  I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.

ONE CARVED IMAGE IN CHURCH IS H.W.Armstrong!

WE SHOULD BE WILLING TO GO THROUGH BAPTISM INTO JESUS CHRIST! The LORD had sent the words as a covering! –IT IS UP TO YOU TO ACCEPT THEM TO BE HIS DISCIPLES FOREVER!

2Ti 4:8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

PAUL IS SURE OF HIS CROWN! AND WE WHO ARE FORGIVEN AND ARE WILLING TO WIN THE RACE CAN BE SURE OF THE CROWN OF Righteousness!

39

Tit 2: 12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14  Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 -  These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

SO THE LORD’S WORD IS TO TEACH TO BE HOLY, TO MAKE HIS PEOPLE A PECULIAR PEOPLE UNTO JESUS CHRIST!

TO ENABLE THIS,THE LORD HAD SHED HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS!

Once thus purified, He wanted us to bear our own cross and triumph over it through THE HOLY SPIRIT, being led by the SPIRIT.

We should learn the significance OF His death FOR OUR SALVATION! Knowing them and acting upon them BAPTIZES US INTO HIS NAME.

We become His peculiar people zealous of good works!

JESUS CHRIST gave all knowledge OF HIM to His people ISRAEL to get them to be His peculiar people. TO MAKE THEM BAPTISED INTO HIS DEATH, Rom 6: 3, He had shown the benefits He gave through His death on the cross. His precious blood was involved to show His love for ISRAEL and gentiles. He died for the NEW COVENANT to be made, Heb 9:16.

The LORD is doing a serious work, Rom 9: 28, the LORD sifted the house of ISRAEL, Am 9:9, JESUS CHRIST IS MAKING A KINGDOM WHICH CANNOT BE SHAKEN, Heb 12:26-28(the vss. say that even the things that are made are shaken to see which would not be shaken), 28  Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

29  For our God is a consuming fire.

40

EVEN ONCE ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE CAN FALL VERY SADLY-

HEB 6: 4  For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened,--- 6  If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame. (Rom 6: 9,10—the LORD cannot die again!)

9 - But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.(the things are the benefits you get from baptism into His name, and those things accompany salvation).

10  For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.(after all He is our potter, He allowed all to fall, so that He could do a wonderful work to get them back MAKING THEM HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS before Him!).

11  And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. (read Heb ch 11.).

LORD’S people ought to think why we had been in church for long, we were waiting for our LORD. And now He gives us all understanding of Himself, to make us a holy and a perfect people for Him.

41

TO END I WOULD QUOTE THE MESSAGE BIBLE,

HEB 6: 13  When God made His promise to Abraham, He backed it to the hilt, putting His own reputation on the line.

14  He said, "I promise that I’ll bless you with everything I have—bless and bless and bless!"

16  When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they’ll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up.

17  When God wanted to guarantee His promises, He gave His word, a rock-solid guarantee—

18  God can’t break His word. And because His word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable. We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go.

19  It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God

20  where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up His permanent post as High priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.

MAY ALL THANKSGIVING AND GLORY BE TO JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVIOUR OF US ALL, Amen.
