Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
(See Also; Rom 2:29, Rom 7:22, 2Co 4:16, 1Peter 3:4)
Inner man, creation of the spirit-soul:
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Perfectly created spirit-soul.
The Word is life:
John 6:33-35 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Rom 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. One with, and in God.Outer Man:
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The formed flesh body-mind-ego. One with one’s self.
Luke 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Pro 29:11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Which “self” is in control?
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:11-13 But 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. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For 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.
When the spirit-soul lives from the spirit, and not the flesh-world, no separation or distance is present.
Eph 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Rev 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Pro 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
See Also; (Proverbs 19:24, 6:9-10, 20:13, 23:21, 24:33, Isa 56:10, Rom 13:11-12, Eph 5:14)
Idle in the Hebrew: H7423 רְמִיָּה From H7411; remissness, treachery: – deceit. H7411 רָמָה A primitive root; to hurl; specifically to shoot; figuratively to delude or betray (as if causing to fall).
(Remissness is the quality of being lax and neglectful. Treachery is a betrayal of trust; deceptive action or nature.)
Ecc 10:18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
Proverbs 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Idleness in the Hebrew; H8220 שִׁפְלוּת From H8213; remissness: – idleness. H8213 שָׁפֵל A primitive root; to depress or sink (especially figuratively to humiliate, intransitively or transitively): – abase.
Slothfulness in the Greek; H6103 עַצְלָה Feminine of H6102; (as abstraction) indolence: – slothfulness. (Indolence is an inclination to laziness: sloth.)
If your not hungry for the truth and not searching, your simply hurting yourself but God as well as your soul has an eternity to figure out how to eliminate evils from one’s life.
If your not moving forward in all aspects of your life, life that revolves around love, your actually regressing and supressing your own growth which is ultimately living with your evils and living your hells and not your heaven.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
Vanity
Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
All is vanity as we can see in these verses;
Ecc 1:14 – Works under the sun; all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 2:1 – Pleasure is vanity.
Ecc 2:11 – Works and labour, vexation of spirit, all was vanity.
Ecc 2:15 & Ecc 2:19 – Wisdom is vanity.
Ecc 2:26 – God giveth to man that is good in his sight wisdom, knowledge, joy, but the sinner, travail. To gather up and to heap up to give before God. All vanity and vexation of the spirit.
(Vexation in the Hebrew; meaning a sense of desire or feeding upon, grasping after.)
Ecc 3:19 – All have ONE BREATH so man has NO preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 4:4 – No end of all his labour, eye satisfied with riches, also vanity and is a sore travail.
Ecc 5:10 – The love for silver, vanity.
Ecc 6:2 – Riches, wealth, honour, wanting nothing for his soul but yet a stranger eateth, this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Ecc 6:9 – Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire.
Ecc 7:15 – All things vanity: a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and the wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
Ecc 9:9 – Live joyfully with the wife, lovest all the days of life, vanity.
Ecc 11:8 – A man living many years, rejoice in them all; remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
Ecc 11:10 – Remove sorrow from thy heart, put away evil from thy flesh: childhood and youth are vanity.
Works, pleasure, labour, wisdom, knowledge, joy, riches, desires, righteousness, wickedness, days of darkness, sorrows. All vanity. Everything is vanity.
Why?
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
1Co 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
Our Lord himself said he can do nothing from his own self and judged himself according to will of the Father. If his Father had to raise him up, and we are talking about Jesus Christ here, how can it be where any individual soul is responsible for a judgement against evils and only God can raise you up!
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Everyone will be chosen at their appointed time in their eternal life. Vanity now makes sense. This is the mystery spoken of in Romans 11:25.
Rom 11:25 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.
The mystery? “Until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” (See Romans 2:12-29)
Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Again, it is God that is able to make him stand, not himself. And if God is the only one to make him stand, then why would God destroy a soul or commit a soul to some hell? We create and judge our own evils.
The only thing humankind can do is have the willingness and drive to shun evils and follow the path of righteousness which is truths and obedience to goodness and love for every aspect of life regardless of what your eyes see and your mind thinks.
If you see and think from your spirit, understanding unfolds right in front of you. The “trick” is to have the awareness of knowing who is in charge of your soul. Your flesh brain-mind, or your spirit-soul?
Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Every word of God is pure;
Pro 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Love;
1John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Holy;
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Light;
1John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Spirit is good;
Psalms 143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Everlasting life;
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Eternal Life;
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
His work is perfect;
Deu 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Way is perfect;
Psa 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
2Sa 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
Perfect in knowledge, mighty in strength and wisdom;
Job 36:4-5 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
Righteous in all His works;
Dan 9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
Gracious, and merciful;
2Ch 30:9 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
Joel 2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Psa 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
Psa 14:5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
God of salvation;
Psa 68:20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
God is a sun and shield;
Psa 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Resurrection and life;
John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Cannot be tempteth, neither tempteth any man;
Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
God loves us;
1John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Man is in the image and likeness of God;
Gen 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Col 1:15-17 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Every Creature of God Is Good;
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1John 5:11-12 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Spirit of God and Christ dwell in you;
Rom 8:9-11 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. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But 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.
1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
God is in thee;
2Ti 1:6-7 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Filled with the Holy Spirit;
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
(Also see; Acts 1:5, Acts 4:8, Acts 4:31, Acts 6:3, Acts 6:5, Acts 6:8, Acts 7:55, Acts 9:17, Acts 11:24, Acts 13:9, Acts 13:52, Luke 1:15, Luke 1:41, Luke 1:67, John 20:22, Eph 5:18)
God Sends His Son;
1Jn 4:7-9 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
God, Christ, Holy Spirit Dwells In Us;
Rom 8:9-11 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. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But 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.
John 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 15:4-7 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. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Rom 8:9-11 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. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But 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.
1John 2:24-25 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
2John 1:2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
1Jn 4:12-19 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 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. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.
1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
We are the temple of God;
1Co 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1Co 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Rom 14:7-9 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
The Kingdom;
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mar 4:11-12 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Man renewed after the image of God;
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
The spirit of the Lord strives with man while he is in the flesh but is always within his spirit. This is so because man cannot live without the spirit being present within him.
God states his love never changes. With that being truth, and since the Godhead is within us and us within God, and God never changes, then is it within man that he creates the separation. It is man that creates the sin or evil.
Summerizing God is;
The Word, the word being pure. God is love, holy, and light. God’s spirit is good, with everlasting and eternal life. His work is perfect, His way is perfect, and perfect in knowledge, strength, and wisdom. He is righteous in all His work, gracious and merciful, and our God of salvation. God is our salvation, our sun and shield, our resurrection and life.
God cannot be tempted, nor does He tempt any man. God loves us, and we are made in His image and likeness. EVERY creature of God is good, because the spirit of God and Christ dwells within you. God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit dwells within you as we are the temple and kingdom of God on this earth.
Your purpose on this earth is to experience life with the freewill of your spirit. To experience and understand the Word that was created within you, and decide how you wish to live your lives. Finding the truth from within your very soul is wisdom and knowledge and not of this world.
The consciousness of God flows through you. Likewise, a souls consciousness flows through God. Because there is one God, there is one consciousness. God has established Creation with humankind believing his life is from his own.
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
(See Also John 5:19, John 8:28, John 8:42)
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Our Lord Jesus stated from his own self, he can do nothing, than these verses have to be understood that “willingness”, stands alone for the soul’s progression of goodness and love.
Acknowledging negativity create a souls distance from God. A soul believing in separation or distance from God allows that soul to be at peace and justify the distances they love.
Psalms 108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
See Also; (Jer 31:33, Rom 7:22, 2Co 4:16)
1Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
The hidden man is not corruptible. Your created spirit.Flesh worldly words that have no relationship living from the spiritual perspective. Here are some familiar sayings from the flesh.What a coincidence!It happened by chance! Keep your fingers crossed!Good luck! It’s a gamble…..The reality of life is in knowing that God has His hand in absolutely everything in all of Creation.To believe not, is to believe another god is in control. Humankind lives as a god, but in appearance only.Your flesh does not relate to God until you relinquish the flesh aspects of your life. Aspects your spirit does not relate to, but can be lived from through the flesh if willing.Emotions: Natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.Understanding emotions from the spirit; Instinctive or intuitive feeling as distinguished from logic, reasoning, and knowledge from the perspective of life being pure love in it’s reality. Awareness is the key.Fear:An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.Be afraid of (someone or something) as likely to be dangerous, painful, or threatening.Reality is; understanding, faith, and trust, in our true God, fear is eliminated.Stress:A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.Worrying, anxiety, trouble, concern. Opposed to trust, comfort, confidence, peace, and joy, all are of God and our Lord Jesus.Ego: A person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance.The part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for (worldly) reality testing, and a sense of personal identity.In understanding the Oneness of Creation, the ego begins to dissolve. The elimination of judgement and ego tendencies, and it’s elimination. MJI (LightWorker)
1Co 15:44-49 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Humankind; Created as a spirit, formed into the natural (flesh) body. The spirit, humankind-Adam, became a living spiritual soul. The spirit created first, experiencing the natural worlds, distinguishing life from the natural world, to entwine the spiritual into the natural.
1John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Truth, wisdom and knowledge through God, Christ, the Holy Spirit. Eternal experiences that emulate from the Word of God, for His Creation, and His pleasure.
Eph 1:5-9 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
The only “end” is in the flesh. A soul has eternal life. How can there be an “end” in your eternity?
When you look at the word “end” in the Greek;
G5056 τέλος From a primary word τέλλωtellō (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literally, figuratively or indefinitely].
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
(There are 29 more verses that state “eternal life”)
Continuing in Matthew:
Mat 10:24-25 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Again looking at Gen 3:5 to see the disciple as the master.
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.
Mat 10:26-28 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Who is the “him” which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell? The him is YOU.
Mat 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
There is no entity other then God himself that could, if He would, but He will not, destroy body and soul, as stated in this next verse.
1John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Damation in the Greek: G2920 κρίσις (Subjectively or objectively, for or against); by extension a tribunal; by implication justice (specifically divine law): – accusation, condemnation, damnation, judgment.
Resurrection in the Greek: G386 ἀνάστασις From G450; a standing up again, that is, (literally) a resurrection from death (individual, general or by implication (its author)), or (figuratively) a (moral) recovery (of spiritual truth): – raised to life again, resurrection, rise from the dead, that should rise, rising again.
John 5:29 states those that have done good have the resurrection of life and those that have done evil are subject to resurrection from death.
A recovery-resurrection of spiritual truth to those that are resurrected from death will rise again! Where is death if “ye are of more value than many sparrows”?
Your soul-spirit was created with the Word written in your heart. God created you in perfection. The natural man or the outward man began in the Garden of Eden where you were “formed.” Thus creating a “dualism” between the flesh-mind and the spirit-soul which was created in heaven.
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
1Co 15:44-45 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
“Sown” in the Hebrew has the meaning “through the idea of extending, to scatter or sow, (literal or figuratively).”
“Quickening” in the Greek is a revitalization. The revitalization is no more than the true spiritual self overcoming the mind-flesh self.
Adam being the representative of the first created soul of all humankind. Thus humankind being the last man Adam by way of regeneration or being born again.
Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
We discern everything from the flesh mind. To know your higher self even exists, it is constantly in a battle for your thoughts-actions when your higher self awareness is realized.
First reactions are of the mind-ego and not your true higher self. Knowing your higher self, which is pure love and truth, having the awareness to discern from your mind-thought self, making it easier to discern truth from a lie providing your thinking is from your higher self.
Scripture makes the distinction of two separate selves numerous times.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
1Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Rom 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.
Christ has not gone anywhere. The flesh masks the appearance of Christ and false teachings from the perspective of there being a separation.
Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
1Sa 2:3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
The ego, being of the outer self or natural body, can be a positive image of oneself or a negative one. Usually, it includes both positive and negative aspects. The ego contains the individual’s sense of self-worth, self-confidence and self-esteem. It has desires such as wealth, prestige and success.
1John 2:16 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.
Arrogance and pride begin from the ego. Your ego is a mental organ that functions in the structure of our personality creating emotions in our lives.
It hides behind opinions that have the “appearance” to be in truth.
Generates deceptive powerful emotional reactions and blames usor others for how it makes us feel.
The ego produces a false sense of protection based upon events of the past that establishes an opinion related to future events. A false sense of protection because ego can not predict the future nor establish any basis on an event being in truth. This emotional reaction is not from your spiritual self but rather from your flesh physical mind-brain and can be manifested by your senses into your reality, or simply kept within the mind.
With your ego not being able to predict the future, and its basis for protection is from the past, how can that be any assurance of correctly seeing a future event?
If you are “sealed” with the Holy Spirit of God, what is the need for your ego to “protect” you or lead you into false thoughts?
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Every created soul is no different then the next created soul other then in personality-conscience. God’s love is always the same in any given instance or situation no matter what loves or evils are manifested in the mind or from the senses. God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit has not gone anywhere.
The understanding is in knowing that Creation has within truth and goodness. All of Creation is linked together and have equal importance no matter what the “mind” thinks and the senses “feel.”
Think past the weakness of the flesh-mind-ego unto the truth of your created spirit-soul knowing that God did not create some flawed soul that seems to think it needs to protect itself.
As Jesus said; “and if thou wilt be perfect,” (Eph 4:13) till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”, your mind-brain, your deciding consciousness, is the freedom of choice in “goodness” or “from the error of his way.” (James 5:20)
Since God is good and love, the closer you get to living this life in that realm, the closer to God you will be balancing heaven or hell within you in your present life. Our perception of what we call reality; life through our interpretation are experiences.
Awareness through your higher selves consciousness should be your reality in your present “time.” Your created spirit-consciousness is not in time. Time is a construct from your conscious mind-brain.
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. (Mark 1:15) Is not the kingdom within you? (Luke 17:21)
Since God’s work is finished, (Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.) The heavens have no time, therefore all is in the present, and since you control your world, your thinking should be from your spirit-soul not your mind-ego.
Trusting in God’s perfect plan.
Mat 10:28-31 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
These verses of Matthew are interesting. Fear not humankind that can kill the body and not able to kill the soul. One of them shall NOT fall on the ground without your Father. Every moment of your eternal existence, God has full knowledge and control.
The “him” that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell is the self. The “hell” that a soul experiences in the soul living from life to life in the progression to the balance in favor to heaven within.
Life is an illusion produced by your conscience. Your created reality is consciousness manifested by your senses.
Developing A Truth (Updated; The Wiles Of Satan 1996)
There is a progression in knowledge-wisdom-truth-understanding in a souls growth from Biblical Scriptures. God works with every soul on an individual basis because no two consciouses are the same. God works one on one within their understanding of the Word, and their “condition” of the heart. The baseline of truth is the Word that is instilled in the spirit-soul. Distinguishing and understanding negative experiences, wisdom is gained by the application of goodness-love in everything.
Understanding Satan from scriptures from the literal perspective, the notion is that Satan is responsible for all sin-evils. Misunderstandings are in the relationship of the flesh and the eternal salvation of the soul. Taking scriptures from the literal reading, and shaping the mind-feelings to a comfort zone because the flesh-mind believes it can not overcome the wiles of Satan, or the flesh-mind chooses not too.
Satan is a representation of sin-evils, covering all aspects of negativities as each of his names being a representation of those evils that can be expressed by thought and/or actions by the flesh.
Satans Biblical Names;
Dragon, Old Serpent, Devil, Wormwood, Destroyer, Accuser, Tempter, Prince of Power of the Air, Murderer, Power of Darkness, Lying Spirit, Enemy, Belial, Beelzebub, Appolloyn, Abaddon, Adversary.
See;
(Rev 20:2, Rev 8:11, Jer 23:15, 1Cor 10:10, Psalms 17:4, Job 15:21, Judges 16:24, Exo 12:23, Rev 12:10, Gen 3:1-5, 1Th 3:5, John 19:33-37, Eph 2:2, Col 1:13, John 8:44, 1King 22:22, Mat 13:39, 2Cor 6:15, Mat 12:24, Rev 9:11, 1Peter 5:8)
Summarizing the Greek-Hebrew definitions for the names of Satan;
Satan is the first in order of time, political rank and power, being a fabulous kind of serpent, a poisonous snake. He is an accuser, opponent, sly, cunning, artful, malicious. The arch enemy of good, ready to attack, while his eyes wide open causing calamity. A worthless dung-god, a destroying angel distressed of mind, gratifying completely an intense dislike, disgust, hatred, and abhorrence.
On the other hand, angels and demons work within the spirit-soul to keep the soul balanced, so the progression is towards goodness and the ultimate goal. Then the balance between heaven and hell fall upon the soul, and in the souls eternity towards truth-goodness-love, which is life.
Psalms 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Luke 12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Psalms 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
(See Also; Mat 4:6, Psalms 91:11-12, Psalms 34:7, Luke 4:9-12, Heb 1:14)
Every soul is responsible for the condition of their own soul, not Satan. Since the devil didn’t make me do it, or the thinking that souls stand before Christ thinking they do not have total responsibility for their own evil tendencies. Where lying to ones self brings nothing more then judgement upon self.
Goodness is natural per the Creation of the perfect soul. The flesh entertains evils because of the love for it. To blame Satan is having the mindset in thinking that the soul is overpowered by Satan, and has not the control to overcome. Therefore, the mindset of forgiveness of those evils are justified through Jesus over and over. Albiet true, it is the condition of the heart in repetition of evils, is in the repetition of hanging Christ on the cross over and over.
1Cor 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
When the understanding of scriptures advances to a deeper understanding from a spiritual perspective, understanding the purpose of sin-evil is seen in a higher light.
According to original Biblical text definitions, sin is an offence. To miss the mark (and so not to share in the prize), that is, (figuratively) to err, especially (morally) to sin. A division.
Evil is seen as hurtful, anguish, starving, calamitous, (passively) ill, diseased.
This is not downgrading or downplaying sin-evil as much as it is a deeper understanding to the purposes of sin-evil and its effects upon the soul. Seeing how the opposite of goodness is necessary in this world for a soul to live in freedom as well as a tool to learn and grow from those opposites.
If the god in you feels that there is need to judge, take into consideration that there is only one God. God’s job is done and the god’s of the flesh believe He either has no control. Actually, all gods have none understanding.
Jer 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
How much of a souls beliefs are truth in another persons eyes? Doesn’t matter. The heart-soul knows the standing with God and knows their place with Him, unseen by others. Assuming others know where they stand, this eliminates judgement and has the respect in their ETERNAL walk with the Lord.
Judgement is infringing upon another even if the thought is only from the conscious. Judgement begins in the conscience, possibly advancing into the physical or verbalizing such judgement.
It’s not about accusing another persons beliefs. Wouldn’t that then be taking away their freedom?
If God doesn’t take away freedom, why would any soul?
If God has the “appearance” of judging a soul in the present now, would that not be over-riding God? Since God knew you and all of your eternity prior to living your lives, then one can assume judgement happened at Creation, and a soul can then follow the scripture saying that His work is finished as mentioned in Gen 3:5, and God is simply living through the goodness’s of His Creation.
1John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
2Peter 3:8-9 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Through this verse, time has no relevance “under the sun”. Outside of space-time one day and a thousand years are meaningless because time does not exist.
Interesting that scripture states that all should come to repentance. Since repentance is of the earth, then we can assume that time has no bearing on salvation because of the promise and all should come to repentance. Its apparent a soul would have to experience “earth” until the promise is fulfilled, because time according this scripture is meaningless on this earth. Some men count slackness because of their lack of understanding.
Psalms 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
The past is gone and has no bearing on the present. In the spirit world-heavens, only the present exists. Good reason to check your ego at the door.
Your sins are forgiven. The focus then is not on the sin but how are you living your life. How much “distance” are you putting between your neighbor, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and God? Negative things are of the earth.
Focus on the goodness like Christ, and since goodness can only come from and through Christ, it is only in your decision to live your current life in that goodness and love.
Awareness is the key. If you can not find the love on the outside, its because its hidden on the inside. Look past the flesh just as Jesus did.
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
