1John 4:16-17 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 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.
Judgement in this verse refers simply to God has created us for eternal life with Him.
So how is it that salvation is only through Christ and God and you cant get to being saved on your own. How can a person think there is some kind of eternal hell or eternal damnation when not a bit of it comes through you anyway! All you have to do is say yes or no and if you follow the yes, you have life, if you follow the no you have damnation or hell in your life. Scripture points out that you cant have “life” if your living in “death”.
The consciousness of God is the only true existence because there is nothing outside of Himself. Creation is God Himself. God’s life is His Creation that He experiences through His Creation for eternity.His Created souls through our experiences, our current awareness, in life, has the appearance of being separate. Your spiritual self is His pure consciousness and only through your thought process that creates anything opposite of love. Thoughts alone, or thoughts manifested through the flesh. God does not experience opposition to Himself because it is our creation. That leaves out eternal hell as He would not judge against Himself. Anything in opposition to love creates a separation from Him and is “our soul part” that we “create” from within ourselves. (Gen 3:5) (John 10:34)A perfect plan that God is able to experience continuous love through His creation and their experiences-love. Your awareness in love is His awareness and love. Your life is His life.
Heaven And Hell
The word “hell” is mentioned in the New Testament 23 times. Heaven is mentioned over 230 times in the New Testament.
Mat 5:29-30 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Hell in the Greek (G1067); γέεννα Of Hebrew origin ([H1516] and [H2011]); valley of (the son of) Hinnom; gehenna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: – hell. H1516 גַּי גַּיְא Probably (by transmutation) from the same root as H1466 (abbreviated); a gorge (from its lofty sides; hence narrow, but not a gully or winter torrent): – valley.
We can see from the definition of hell is in reference to a physical location on earth, or a state of being in reference to an earthly location. The scripture refers to the “body” being cast into hell, not the soul or spirit.
The verses with hell (G1067) are; (Mat 5:22, Mat 5:29-30, Mat 18:19, Mat 23:33, Mark 9:43, Mark 9:45, Mark 9:47, Luke 12:15, James 3:6)
The next definition of hell is G86.
Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Hell in the Greek (G86); G86 ᾅδης From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1492; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: – grave, hell. G1492 εἴδω A primary verb; used only in certain past tenses, the others being borrowed from the equivalent, G3700 and G3708; properly to see (literally or figuratively); by implication (in the perfect only) to know.
Hell in these verses have the meaning of hell being unseen place, or state of departed souls. Hell as well as heaven is a state of being. How can you have a physical location outside of space?
The verses with Hell (G86) are; (Mat 11:23, Mat 16:18, Luke 10:15, Luke 16:23, Acts 2:27, Acts 2:31, Rev 6:8, Rev 20:13-14)
There is only one verse with Hell (G5020);
2Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Hell in the Greek (G5020); G5020 ταρταρόω From Τάρταρος Tartaros̄ (the deepest abyss of Hades); to incarcerate in eternal torment: – cast down to hell.
Heaven in the New Testament;
Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Heaven in the Greek; G3772 οὐρανός Perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension heaven (as the abode of God); by implication happiness, power, eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity). G3735 ὄρος Probably a from an obsolete word ὄρω orō (to rise or “rear”; perhaps akin to G142; compare G3733); a mountain (as lifting itself above the plain). G142 αἴρω A primary verb; to lift; by implication to take up or away; figuratively to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); specifically to sail away (that is, weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare [H5375]) to expiate sin.
Hell is in reference to the flesh, a flesh location, whereas, heaven is in reference to a “spiritual” location.
The word everlasting is found in 26 verses and the Greek definition is;
G166 αἰώνιος From G165; perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well): – eternal, for ever, everlasting, world (began). G165 αἰών From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550 χρόνος Of uncertain derivation; a space of time (in genitive case, and thus properly distinguished from G2540, which designates a fixed or special occasion; and from G165, which denotes a particular period) or interval; by extension an individual opportunity; by implication delay.
In this definition we see that “everlasting” in the 26 verses is in reference to the world, and not of anything related outside of time.
1Ti 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Death
Eternal death can not exist outside of space-time. Death, (figuratively speaking), can only be “eternally” in a body that is susceptible to evils. Eternal death can only take place in the flesh. Spiritual death simply means one is not living in goodness.You have the choice in how much “death” you want to experience in your eternity by length of time and degree of evils. Your soul is eternal and no death to the soul can exist.
2Co 4:16 states; For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man parish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Your inward man is your soul-spirit, your outward man is your mind-flesh body.We are renewed for salvation only by choosing goodness through the Lord and by avoiding repetitive evils. We renew ourselves in evils.
Curses
The opposite of blessings would be a curse.
A curse changes the perspective and gives the blessing much more importance.
How many blessings do you have that are hindered by curses?
The Hebrew definition says vilification. The Greek definition has the meaning; to keep the mind in suspense, to expiate sin.
Vilification in the English Dictionary has the meaning of “abuse”.
Ex 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Here we have a “curse” from God that carries through ourselves as well as our offspring. This curse can be broken to allow blessings to strengthen our walk with the Lord.
Mal 2:2-3
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings : yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
Heb 11:17-21
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshiped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
Here we have the teaching of those that have been born outside of the twelve tribes that have the curse. We can see in the following how those that are grafted in gain salvation.
Would one think that if you have this curse that one would want to rebuke or renounce this curse?
According to Romans 11:14-25 we have documentation on how those not from the 12 blessed tribes and those that are not have the opportunity to either fall away or be grafted into the blessings from God.
How many curses are you under that you dont even know about? How many curses have you placed upon others through anger?
How many times have you “damned” someone by God or vice versa?
How many times have you “wished” something upon someone that is a curse?
I wish you were…….!
I wish that……!
Wish in the Greek means to “pray to God”
If you wish something you obviously don’t believe you have control over the circumstances, but you believe in a higher authority for “help” in instilling either a physical or spiritual act.
I keep thinking of those that actually know Satan and is a follower of Satan’s ways and how much power Satan has on this earth and how through his followers as well have the powers to instill curses that have a profound effect on our lives in some way. I would think at least to the point of hindering some points in our lives or weakening some of our blessings.
Words can be very powerful tools in both curses and blessings. Very careful thought is needed to pinpoint certain aspects of a blessing. Give enough time for prayer and ponder to and when needed to special details surrounding the blessing. Align your blessing with Scriptures and prayer.
Rom 12:14 states; Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Matt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
(In this case to bless them that curse you means to invoke divine care for.)
Here we are told to bless and not curse.
Remember Matt 22:37-38?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.
How can we deal with these curses?
How can we petition Christ for redemption?
The answer would be to bless those that have placed a curse upon you! Go to Christ in prayer and through the shed Blood on the Cross that He remove any and all curses out of your life. Then ask Christ to bless those people that have placed the curse upon you.
Likewise we are to take the curses that we have given to others and ask Christ to Bless those people that we and knowingly or unknowingly gave a curse.
Wouldn’t you want to invoke “Divine care” for these people?
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
We need Christ again to redeem us from other curses.
Again we go back to Christ and petition Him in breaking all curses from past generations to the beginning of the birthing of the flesh.
First we have curses that date back to Genesis to deal with and every curse in between!
The curse of generational sin within our souls at birth. Give careful thought as to those sins that are brought into our souls from the souls of our family. Again take the time to analyze your blood relatives your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins and look for common threads that could lead to your tendencies/sins. Again, Christ will remove this curse and sin.
Rom 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
“Wish” according to the Greek dictionary is to wish, or implying a prayer to God.
Now here we have Paul in Romans 9 verse 3 stating that because of his heaviness and continual sorrow in his heart that he could “wish” that myself were accursed from Christ.
Of course this statement is only in reference to how Paul truly felt.
Mal 2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings : yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
Overall points;
Bless those who we cursed
Bless those who have cursed us
We can bless God and our Lord
Release the curse of generational sin
Release curses placed upon us by others
Release curses from Genesis to present
We should take time to evaluate and analyze ourselves, family, and friends. Bring to light the possibilities and advantages we have in blessings when we know our Lord and God.
The following is a guideline so you can do a self examination as well as family and friends so that we may enjoy further the “blessed” life we live in this flesh.
Summarizing the types of blessings.
See where you find yourself in each instance. If you have weak areas you have just opened your heart to God and your soul exposing and charting out your handling each individual action.
Search your heart in these issues;
Be poor in spirit
They that mourn
The meek
Hunger for righteousness
Merciful
Pure in heart
Peacemaker
Those persecuted for righteousness
Those that persecute you falsely for Gods sake
Overall points that we can now deal with;
Bless those who we cursed
Bless those who have cursed us
We can bless God and our Lord
Release the curse of generational sin
Release curses placed upon us by others
Release curses from Genesis to present
Need Christ to redeem us in all curses

Rom 11:14-25
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
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.
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God , and said,
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
