And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.- And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. [2 Kings 6:15-17]
I guess many of us need to open our eyes, or have them opened by God in a prayer, the eyes of our hearts which people today do not understand. Let me put it another way to some they don’t want to understand. The things I have gone through in the past 9 months have been captivating, I have been studying every day except Sunday and Monday, I am too tied to sick to even eat or go anywhere I have not been out of the house in a long time, I don’t know what I feel anymore, when I stay up and type out this very sermon I don’t go to sleep right away there are times I pass out on the keyboard but I have not done that in a while. This is my calling- this is what God wants me to do, study- write some prayers and preach the word. There isn’t much more I can do. 2 weeks ago my C-Drive went out on my main computer, I lost about 5 years work on my documents alone, I found bits and pieces of things- prayers, emails, pictures in the thousands, but they all are stacked and more then triple or a picture can duplicated over ten times or more- and they are mini pictures taken from all the websites I was ever at for 41/2 years. I had to sit for hours deleting pictures, that have no meaning, and I didn’t even touch the group, it will take days- me weeks if I still study, I had to borrow the money to purchase a new drive. My landlord Jeff turned out to be the friend I never had, one who stuck by me and put this whole thing back together- I have a back-up computer and he fixed that to, he fixed things I got beat for, and tried to fix 1 thing that never worked. It will take me months or a day according to my faith, to get a new one- that is left up to God. I need a new DVD Burner, which I got with the computer that never worked, paid much money for- and that he can’t fix, the old C-drive he worked on pulling out “data for a week”- and now I got so much to go through. He had it going into another computer, retrieving anything basically. I lost about 9,000 emails that most were prayers and other ministries, letters of thanks, letters of invitations to come to their country and help them, letters of appreciation, letters of healings, you name it the spam was gone, but even though I deleted them I have no idea what I have to do just setting this thing up so it works, songs were gone, a have to do a new favorites menu which took 4 years, pictures I tried to retrieve some, But thank God that Homestead has my work duplicated in the station, I just had to download that, but the pixels are different and the size of your computer will might be towards the left I can’t center it because I have to adjust for every computer and I don’t now how to center the thing unless I change the color contrast, for my other computer it looks fine so most of you with a smaller screen will be centered. Back to my calling- last week I didn’t have any music on the page until I put it on yesterday, Bell Bottom Blues, done by and orchestra but there all- what I have been using since I started this site. Thank God the site is still there. We have to thank Bravenet for that! I wrote the sermon on the other computer till 5:30 a.m. Sunday and it would not publish why- I do not know- the devil does not want me preaching Bible truth- this is the only Bible Truth Christian Church as a subtitle- someone stole The Church Ministries, they bought the .com I was going to- but I didn’t have the 15 bucks. I don’t think what they did was right or wrong, my copyright is there but they just ignored it. Besides we are a Public Charity corporation 501(c) (3) tax deductible, and of course ever since we became incorporated we received nothing back. I pay to keep this ministry going, God is keeping me healthy enough to write it, but the next 2 days I am supper- sick and not my self. I have been running a high fever since all this started and the stress alone is killing me- that is what Satan does he seeks, kills and destroys, and it goes double or triple for ministers, we walk around with a target on our backs and our armor only covers the front. To face the enemy and stand firm. The answer to my calling, my mother asks why do you do this to yourself, and you don’t make any money, she never even looked at the site, and we have been number one on Goggle for years, now they got my mini- Book the test of faith right underneath it- my first year of this sickness which is still undiagnosed, from November 13, 2003- plus they have a line which you can press to see more of The Church Ministries, don’t worry I had to see if or where we were I have no pride thing going. This is all God; The Holy Spirit speaks through me- God talks to the Holy Spirit. So last Sunday I stayed up till noon which was a good 24 hours or about 8 hours of stress and then I slept all through the night. Monday I figured I only had a few minutes to fix this sermon and Monday I turned on the little computer and went to the site, and it published, Praise God! All that writing and teaching does not go to waste I am trying to save lives here not make money. Then I had to change the date and the Red button on the Index Page, and for some reason a button which I can’t find- will not open or publish the page fast enough- it felt like I only had seconds left then went over to the Archives to put last weeks on the list of 307 sermons which are free to whomever, and I could not return to the page where I leave it. And each line on the task bar went off one by one and then the whole computer went off. That right there told me that God wanted that printed and was a miracle, because if I try to go to the site it has about 2 megs and the computer can’t seem to handle it. That answers my question is this my true calling for now Lord? I guess he answered that question, I have no idea how they got my book on there good thing I put it on there- or it would be gone, and I only had a secret link to it- but this kind of rounds out the story, each week I would talk about this and what happened and what they did and many times both computers would break at the same time and I could not write a sermon or could not write anything, I remember 3 times that both went down at the same time for some reason, you should have felt my heart Sunday last week I was in shock- ready for the hospital, and just didn’t go. All that writing- all those hours and I could not share it with the world- but God came in and said this- my son- is going to work. There was about a month that I could not write anything- I was much too sick. That was all Satan. After a year or two I grew up- and stopped talking about myself I started taking about Jesus and we all have to be talking about Jesus. From now on that is all we are going to talk about, in the scriptures Jesus Christ or Jesus or Christ was said in the book of Acts 77 times. Romans 72 times- 1Cor.63 times- 2Cor.51 times and I can go on and the thing is as the books got smaller in chapters it doesn’t matter He was talked about more even in the range of amount of words.
Taken a good 5 years ago
So let us continue: Maybe I should say hello! Welcome everyone to The Church Ministries, we talk about Jesus and bible truth and we don’t follow the traditions of man. And we don’t blame God for anything, like so many other churches. Maybe I should pray! Welcome everyone, from all my loved ones to the staff to the prayer warriors to the visitors or the return visitors or the “members” that use the sermon for a bile class or Sunday school or a sermon in the outside in a church out in the wilderness and people will sit on a log or a rock or a piece of a cliff or most any type of out door seat like a branch of a tree- the more and more I preach the truth of Jesus Christ the more the lives on this planet will be saved, you all know me, and you all know where I came from - not that I did already obtain all the facts and truths I need to know, or have been already become the spiritual man I wanted to achieve; but I will still practice, if also I may lay hold of that to have the right relationship with Jesus Christ that is the importance of my life, and but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching ahead for the things I need in my heart. I want to see with my heart and hear with my heart, to walk by faith and not by sight. I have learned to live any way I can weather I am on top of the mountain or lying in a gutter I can hold up and hold out and have my joy complete in Christ Jesus. I want to thank the staff for meeting with us this week, and I look forward to your emails to go with the new ideas or stick with what we are doing. I am going to have to make some changes it all depends who writes back or who doesn’t. We are all a part of the body of Christ and I will let no man disgrace Him at all. If anyone wants to be on the Church Ministries staff write me. There is no money maybe when I get a building and heal a few people and raise a few from the dead, we will not have any problems after that. Even if it is a room with a bathroom, but God says think Big well I wanted that building of the old western auto across from Sack and Save, that would be large enough to feed half the town every night, and have a special preacher every day also and to have showers and clean clothes to hand out and Bible studies- devotions in the morning and on staff that get room and board and a few dollars down the road, but now I am paying most everything even the parts, for the computers, If I didn’t have my friend Jeff, and him as my landlord and him owning this house there would be no “The Church Ministries” and I would not be writing on this fairly new computer. He held up his trip for me- he did all the work for weeks and would not take a dime- what really hurt was I was not physically able to help him even with the yard work and his girlfriend had to help him- he trimmed all the trees, and I offered him my truck but that is all I could do to repay him, I wanted so badly to get out there and drag bushes and help him cut shrubs, but I couldn’t I was so hot- and cold and too weak- I could not even take a shower. So if your lives get changed by the words God writes thank Jeff and pray for him, he is not even saved. I have not met a Christian that can’t even stand next to him period. My teacher is a different story. “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.” [Phil.3:7-11] “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” [Acts 4:12] “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” [Acts 2:1-4] “To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.” [Acts 1:3-5] “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” [Acts.1:8] And today we find out that most of the churches today don’t believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues you get thrown out of churches for speaking the truth. The devil had this master plan and it was all written down and this is the way people have become if you don’t believe in all of Gods words what are you doing? You seem to be turning against the bible which is God’s word, God’s word is perfect every word every scripture is truth, but we have people twisting the truth and making there own doctrines up. “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. [2Tim. 4:1-5] The words are written right here that there will come a time that endure sound doctrine they will not listen to the truth they would rather be entertained or laugh and follow after fantasies, and hire teachers who preach something other then the truth for entertainment then to preach the truth these teachers are trying to make the church a dead church. Most of them are, already, if you don’t even understand that you have the spirit of God within you, and that God has already done everything for us but God lives in the spiritual word, remember in John “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” [John 4:24] The only way you can worship and talk to God in the spirit- is by tongues, and if people don’t believe in tongues, how will they speak into the spirit world that God is living in. There are two worlds, that is why we are told to be in the world not of the world or being a part of the world- we must leave our buildings and get out there and fight for the truth to be spread around not lies and fantasies- we are to help others and to spread the salt shaker around to get people saved and hear the Gospel and by hearing the gospel they will learn the truth- and the truth will set them free. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” [John 6:63] The spiritual world God runs- and that world will be ever lasting and everything is made first in the spiritual and then you have men of faith that can take from the spiritual world and manifest into the physical or natural world. Satan runs the natural world and if you are not saved you are as good as by-by already, how could anyone want to listen to lies of the devil and hear the same thing over and over- the devil can’t create anything on his own- he can only copy, Satan has lied through the centuries to stop the baptism of the Holy Spirit so you don’t speak in tongues, everything is already done for us- everything we will ever need is already there in the spiritual world- and that is the world God runs, Why does it say it is the spirit that gives life and the flesh profiteth nothing, and the words Jesus speaks to us are life and they are spirit which we should be keying on, the flesh and the spirit have been at war since Adam and Eve. “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” [Gen.3:6-7] Now put this together after they ate of the fruit- their eyes were opened- not their spiritual eyes- there physical eyes and what did they notice they were walking butt- naked all this time in the spirit with God and after they ate the fruit their spiritual eyes started to die and there natural or physical eyes opened in Satan’s world- the world of shame and sin and so many other devilish things- jealousy- pride- lust- etc. What does it say again they ate the fruit- and the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked- why was that the first thing they noticed? Because that was the only thing that could be noticed that was different. There wasn’t anyone or things or games or buildings or machines or cars or other people- that would have to be the first thing they would notice in a natural world. Of nothing in it that wasn’t already there. What else could they notice first besides being naked? Besides now they disobeyed God and was afraid of the consequence. What other shame or jealousy or sin could they open their eyes to? I can’t think of anything. Remember what Satan said just before they ate of the fruit. “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” [Gen.3:5] Yea they opened their eyes into the natural world- this is why speaking in tongues is so important and Satan made it un- important, just like signs and wonders and healings and raising from the dead he made them also unimportant. He does not want people saved if we were standing down town and A guy died getting hit by a car and I just laid my body over his- like Paul did with that kid that fell out of the window 3 stories- and he was alive got up people could see blood on the ground but he didn’t have any cuts and he had a raged shirt and pants but no marks, it would not be hard to get a few people saved if I whipped out my bible and started preaching right there. The devil does not want that- he does not want us to have a spiritual life- he wants us depressed, upset, always in anger, never full of joy- he causes families to have fights and he causes them to break up- this is the devils world that is why we must become spiritual like it says in John 4:24 that we MUST worship God in spirit and in truth. When we speak in tongues we talk directly to God and Satan can’t understand what you are saying you probably don’t either but your spirit knows and you just keep praying to interpret and sooner or later God will help you, and I have started noticing familiar words or groups together while I pray. This is the relationship we are forming in truth and in spirit. It also is refreshment and it takes confusion off your mind. So Satan has blinded the minds of people to understand how valuable tongues are. How are you going to talk with God and build a loving relationship when he is in the spirit and you are in the world or the natural? People will throw you out of the church if you are a tongue talker why? Satan. “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. [Jude 1:20-21] “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. [1John 2:15-19] Do you see what Satan has done to our world- what is on T.V. murder and gore and blood and sex- every sin is on television today- if our great-great- grandparents watched what was on TV today, What would they say? They probably would not even turn it on. “But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” [1John 3:17] People in N.Y.C. if they see a dead body laying in the street they are walking on- they will step over the body- before they would try to help them, or call a cop or even inspect the body to see if it is alive or just drunk, kind of like the same story about the Good Samaritan. Nothing has changed in all these centuries we have to realize that we have to get to the spiritual world, now we get born again and we receive a new spirit. I am going to have to explain to you the spirit and the flesh- or the spiritual mind or the carnal mind- or Satan’s natural world or God’s spiritual world- “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” [1Thess.5:23] “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” [2Cor.5:17] “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” [2Cor.5:21] You have to understand that the old man is dead the old spirit you had is from the world, this is why Christianity is so far ahead of (psychology because that science believes in two parts to a man not three)- and a man is changed when He is born again, and when you get the energizer of the spirit you have by the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you will do great signs and wonders, even if you don’t see it, Let me explain further- all the television waves cannot be seen and when you tune in a T.V. you are tuning on a switch- the power comes from God- He is the source- and we have to tune the T.V. in our hearts of our new spirit, to fully have the grace and faith and pureness of all of the Godhead that is within us. That is why we have to tune the T.V. we don’t call the station every time we need to change the channel- or step into crisis after trial to a sin back to God’s grace, We are in control it is us that has to flip the switch and we don’t bother God for things that we already have. It is like when God made the heavens and the earth everything was made so God didn’t have to come back and plant another tree- everything he made was to reproduce itself with a seed, Christ is the seed our spirits are a new seed, we all have to grow, but our spirits that God gave us is just like the earth He does not have to come back and plant a bush or shrub the seeds automatically grow more just like or spirit will gain more and more knowledge and is already is mature like the Garden- God made- the trees already had fruit on them, they were ready to go, just like our spirits- man didn’t have to wait years for it to grow and produce food, it has already been done- all that we ever will need has been done for us- and is already within our spirits, what ever we will ever need is already inside of us, anything in the future past or present is there already, so we turn on the switch and release the power of God within us, we don’t bother God for anything only to praise and worship Him and thank Him, and declare the God of our salvation Jesus Christ- already so now we have to take responsibility for our own lives to love and forgive and give with thankfulness and perform that ultimate relationship from spirit to spirit with the full godhead or trinity. People don’t understand that God has done everything already we don’t pray for things they are already made waiting for you to either reach over into the spirit world or imagine it to manifest and it will come by some communication with God in prayer or just command it to happen- everything is set up just like the garden- he would never have to come back only to have his relationship with Adam and Eve. “Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, “Look on us.” And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none; “but such as I have” give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. [Acts 3:1-8] “but such as I have” give I thee: this is what Peter said to the crippled man “such as I have” -in his spirit he has the power of the godhead within him. We are not being prideful and not giving God the Glory- we are- He gave to us a gift {our new spirits} that will help others and continue with the church in power and wonders. God is the Glory and Jesus is the Glory and the Holy Spirit is the Glory even in the spirit world that cannot be seen in the very first verses I wrote out what Elijah prayed that his servant would open his spiritual eyes some-what the opposite of Adam and Eve, his spiritual eyes were opened in this young servant and he was able to see all the good men and horses and chariots surrounding the deadly people surrounding them. And there was no cause for fear it is like that with us, we have to believe that the world is there and the more we read the word the spirit grows, when we first receive the spirit we are then 1/3 pure Holy Spirit, now we have to let God through faith release the flow of power of the unseen world- and it will manifest into this natural word, like healing or raising of the dead, we have to understand that are soul and body have been redeemed, and when we get to heaven we will have the perfect bodies and souls all new, but the same spirit that was given to us will be for us through eternity, so that is why on this earth we study the word and we can shift this spiritual power over to our soul or mind and then 2/3 of us will be pure Holy Spirit, and the body will just follow us or the soul or mind until we are complete on earth, and still yet we will get purchased a new body and soul but for now we are able to live by the spirit and see by our spirit and hear by our spirit or heart, and then we will be able to walk by faith not by sight.
In the book of Romans 8 it talks about the spirit or the Spirit a lot in the Greek there is no capital letters so these big or small S’s are done in place where the author thought they should have been distinguished. I am going to go through the scriptures one at a time or what ever the spirit leads me to do to explain what we have in Christ and this will settle the confusion if any, God is not a God of confusion but of peace, Satan is out there confusing everyone and everything. “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” [1Pet.1:23] “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.[2Tim.3:1-7] See how these scriptures map out our present lives, this is happening even now.
Let us start with the first scripture in Romans 8:
1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit: There is so many ways to say this that we are united with Christ and we are not living after the flesh but we are going to live after the spirit. “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [John 3:18]
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death: For the new spiritual principle of life “in” Christ Jesus lifts us out of the old vicious circle of the law of our new being of sin and death.
3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: The Law never succeeded in producing righteousness, the failure was always human nature, I guess we consider the flesh as the lower form- and what God did was amazing- He performed this by sending His own Son Jesus Christ to live in that same human nature and take sin upon Himself- which causes the trouble itself, God condemned sin in the flesh-subdued-overcame-deprived it of any power, we have to understand that the commandment of the Law may find fulfillment in us, by our conduct to live by that lower nature is gone, now we are directed by the Spirit. “This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;” [Lev.7:37] I hope you all are beginning to understand what we have in Christ.
4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit: So we are now able to meet the Laws requirements, so long as we are living we no longer are guided by that old sinful nature we have established to live in obedience and to the promptings of the Spirit.
5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit: We no longer follow the deeds of the lower nature or the flesh we now are spiritual and in all things we follow the ways and directions of the Spirit, so our lives are not governed by evil but of the upper form the spiritual man and the Holy Spirit takes charge of our lives, thank God.
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace: Being carnally minded is of the 5 senses what we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. Which is of the world I believe Adam and Eve started out with 6 senses the sense of faith- that is why when they opened their old nature eyes which they never new they had, shame came upon them and then fear which is not of the spirit, when you are in the spirit and being controlled and living by the spirit you end up with life and peace, I have left but I have not made it to the perfect mark, soon as I get more knowledge within me I will be able to walk by faith and not by sight, and hear with my heart and to see with my heart, I have not met many who have reached their mark, it is one of my closest wants to be perfected into the full spiritual realm to where I don’t have to use any of my 5 senses only to live by pure faith.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be: This has to be expected, the mind of the flesh thinks of things of the old nature and is opposed to the purpose of God- but the spirit spiritual things- the former cannot follow the law of God and can not even come close for Christian living.
8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God: Those that live on such a lower level catering to the appetites of their carnal nature are no way possible to even have an attitude to please God or even be acceptable to Him.
9But 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: Most people of this day do not even know that God Himself placed his spirit within each born again believer – and it is such a shame that they fight with you and only want to have the attitude of I am saved and everything is in the future like the day we get to heaven, but you see when some do get to heaven they will realize they could have stopped all the things the devil stole from them and their family and you had the power all on your own to make the changes here on earth. God will be wiping the tears from your eyes because you just did not want to believe the truth. You have to be God’s children because it is fact and the thing is if you don’t have the knowledge of the spirit within you, that is almost the same of not having it at all, how can you call yourself a Christian when you aren’t even aware of the gifts you have already received. Plus the proof of your power on earth in scripture of 1 John tells it so. “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.” [1 John 4:17] So as Christ is- so are we identical in our spirits in this world. As many churches would laugh at me and my beliefs- I would be praying for whole congregations because without some certain knowledge it is hard to look at them as being saved, and that is a shame.
10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness: If you are born again the Spirit of God rests within you and your old flesh nature is dead because of sin- and now the spirit that is in you comes alive and Christ took your sin- and replaced it with His righteousness.
11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. We all know we have been purchased and then when we get to heaven or meet Jesus in the clouds or we die before His return the same spirit that dwells in you is the same spirit that raised up Christ from the dead you not only have the same power to raise the dead- your bodies will become heavenly bodies, plus you will receive a new mind or soul to go with your new bodies- 3 parts and two are waiting for us- they have been purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ and they will all be redeemed and become new- by the same spirit that is in you- “Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” [Eph. 1:14]- now you must realize that when Jesus told his disciples you will do greater works then I people think Jesus is only talking to his disciples- well are these verses only to be heard from the first century people? No- each scripture when meditating on it becomes mine or yours, Jesus is the same yesterday- today- and forever and His words shall never pass away, these are words are spoken to us- these are words from God for all to read and relate to ones self- we also will gain a new understanding and new strength and vitality from the same Spirit. I had a few people give that excuse that they have no power because they said Jesus wasn’t taking to us, every word is to us, through eternity that is why our spirits are going to stay just how they are- eternally, they will not be changed and they cannot be opened for any evil or sin to penetrate- and is sealed by the same Spirit the Holy Spirit of God puts His seal- like grandma made jelly and sealed her jars- the same way but we are supernatural and the seal is supernatural. “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,” [Eph. 1:13] Believe and receive- or don’t and do without, I am tired to visit dead churches or churches that just don’t have any anointing upon them, almost lifeless- when you enter and the congregation might be going there for decades- and they just don’t know any other- and it may be close to home and you made friends but if your spirit is not identical to Jesus then you will not see any miracles or wonders, every sermon will be about being saved, no baptism of the Holy Spirit to make your spirit become supernatural. No tongues how do you pray to God, test it yourself- pray in tongues and read scripture and you can do both at the same time- because your spirit is praying and your mind is reading scripture try it yourself. “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, [Eph 1:17-19] This is the same power and Spirit that dwells in you- who raised Jesus from the dead, the power is yours- if you just get away from those carnal thoughts and minds where you have to see to believe- or hear to believe- well I am preaching the true Gospel and that to me is the best I can do and it is what I have been taught and what I believe. People get healed from emails of prayer; this church is just a bible believing Gospel- of the Good News- are you hearing Good News? Well you’re not always listening to fire and brimstone and you don’t feel scared out of your wits when you leave your regular church do you?
12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: The way it follows is this my brothers and sisters- that our lower nature has no claim upon us-we have no commitment to live on that level. Imagine if we had to live a life ruled by legalism or religion, or laws or doctrines of men. Satan has left the bars the race tracks and the clubs- all those people are already his, and people that are lost do not even know it. Why do people want to suffer in hell, for eternity? All they have to do is believe in Jesus Christ- and understand what he went through and the suffering the humiliation: “But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.” “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? [John 6:66-67] Many people just left him because they just could not understand his teaching trying to explain he was the bread of life that is why we eat at communion the no-yeast bread and wine as symbols of his flesh and His blood. The beatings the whippings- the blood that was left, was just too much- he let this be done to Him, he could have stopped it- but he had to fulfill the scriptures, and finish what His Father asked, and gave us all a second chance. He went through more then any man on the face of the earth. “As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:” [Isa.52:14] Visage is face. Then he took upon himself every sickness and disease- every mental problem- every tumor- every deformity- that is why his form did not look human- this is part of the atonement which some of you did not know. Jesus did so much for us he took the sins of the whole world and put them upon Himself, every sin past –present- and future sins. He took our sins and gave us His righteousness and His own mind dwells in the same spirit. “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.” [1Cor 2:16] He took upon every sickness so we all were already healed, that is the thing we all are already healed, and it is a lot easer to heal someone when Jesus provided the atoning sacrifice. I have been telling you this for weeks, and still I haven’t got as many letters that I thought I would get. He became poor so we could become rich, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” [2Cor.8:9] He even has given us prosperity. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” [3 John 1:2] The man created all these people and they showed no respect, and many just left him. That breaks my heart and people can’t take time out for the creator of all things- He gave you your family- He gave you your Job- He gave you your house- He gave you your car- everything came from above. And even the extras like the healing and people actually argue over Jesus’ atoning sacrifice? And don’t believe in what He did for all of us, I have not met many Christians even out of all the churches I went to when I was healthy and drove and carried my amp a bass and my guitar. I auditioned, I came from a church that was huge, There I played in an orchestra for specials and holidays with a tux and we sat in the pit with about 30 or more pieces. Every Sunday we did 5 songs early show, young crowd, and 5 songs for the late show for the older crowd. 10 songs all together. Of course I ended up playing at a friend’s church when someone left, but then I started to get too sick, to where I could not stand- and then I could not sit- and then I could not even carry my instruments into the church. Then I just could not play anymore which hurt me more then all the other things. He I go again writing in the flesh about myself. I have to go pray.
13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. If you live in any way by the instinct of the flesh or if you keep being carnal you will die, but if you look towards the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction you shall live forever.
14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. All who is lead by God’s Spirit and mixes with the spirit that dwells within us we become sons of God!
15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father: For the spirit you have received during the born again experience you are not pushed back into a bondage of slavery or fear, but this spirit is a spirit of additional adoption and we turn our spirit into a bliss of son ship and of the way we cry out now to our Father is like Daddy.
16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: The Spirit himself endorses our inward conviction that we {our spirit} have truly became one- and now we really can know and be for sure- that we have connected into a new family- the true son’s of the living God.
17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together: Carefully think about this we are matched in spirit- the old man is dead and gone- we are looking for the spiritual. If we are His children and God’s heirs mixed with Christ’s heirs, we are real children and we share the household of all the treasures that Jesus deserves, it is hard to write something for us- to even write- I have to be bold, God sees us in the spirit and an heir and part of the true family- and a true son-it is hard to say by all the reading I have done but whatever Jesus gains through what He has done for us and the claims that belongs to Him- I can’t even say that we all- if we are one- and true sons- we shall share in the treasures- and we all are supposed to share in this- but to me Jesus deserves it all, I didn’t go through none of what he had to- we do have to go through sufferings which we all have had a share- so we could also share in His glory, the way the different scriptures and translations read I am reading out of 7 bibles at the same time right now. This is what it says. I rather glorify you Jesus, you are the one that should be in Glory, you took all that pain and just to think of a nail driven threw my wrists Jesus- you take the Glory, I will stand in the back. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ- He is the one and His Father who put these plans in motion, but Jesus you were sweating blood, it was hard upon you, the Glory goes to You -You are the King of Kings the Lord of Lords- The Alpha and the Omega – The first and the last we shall praise Your name for all the sufferings and all the extra sufferings for the atoning sacrifices done once for us all. We love you Jesus you deserve a lot more. Praise the full Godhead and praise the Father and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Even though all the bibles say we will share in His glory also. Are we the type that am not comfortable doing these last few scriptures, because Jesus is in my heart and it is good that the word tells us that we will all share like a family, but I think Jesus is in a class by himself. I am going to end this here, it is almost 3 and I didn’t even turn on the page yet, so I better get going. Let us all thank Jeff that has made this ministry possible otherwise we would be out of luck. Jeff to is in a class by himself and to do all that work and don’t want any thing in return that is a man I can say is a friend . Please have you all pray for his trip and keep him safe I know I planted a few seeds but we need someone to bump into him and water the seeds and shed some more light on the subject of Christianity. I would like to see him saved and maybe he is, but he never said anything about it at all- so maybe not. I never met a lost person with so much compassion and care in my life. Please pray for his salvation. Thanks- Love you all I hope you got something out of what I said today, I just could not accept anything that Jesus suffered for, he suffered so much and gave us all life. If He himself wants to give something to us for being apart of the suffering family fine. It is hard to write the words about sharing glory -even out of 7 bibles, like I suffered- but not like Jesus we may be spiritual heirs and close to Jesus, I am under attack right now- I’d better quit while I am ahead. Praise you all I hope you all got something about the war we are still fighting the flesh against the spirit I have left but I have not even arrived, maybe someday I will.
24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. [Rom.8:24-25]
Take care- Lets see what we are in for –smooth sailing!
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: [Deut. 30:19] hard quiz, choose life! Amen. Even God gives us the answer.
