LADDER

LADDER   In GENESIS 28:12, Jacob dreamed saw a LADDER from the earth to heaven with angels of GOD going up and down on it. (Just as JESUS himself declares in JOHN 1:51 "verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of GOD ascending and descending upon the Son of man". So the word LADDER   Is The LAD   (Son) Christ in the words in,          (RED)   Add the words of Christ in RED.   Genesis 28:12 - And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.   John 10:1-18 - 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.   John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

LEARN

LEARN   The middle word in the word, learn is ear. You cannot learn from god if you do not have an ear to hear his words.  The word ears in this context means to perceive, understand, or knowing with the mind, and you cannot earn understanding earnestly unless you learn (receive)  GODS word (gospel of Christ) into your heart. Mark 4:1-20 - 1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear let him hear. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11 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: 12 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. 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they, which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and some an hundred.     Mark 4:21-34 21 And he said unto them, “Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? And not to be set on a candlestick?” 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 23 “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. 26 And he said, so is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. 30 And he said, whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

Learning

Learning   Notice in verse 24 Jesus says take head what ye hear and unto to you that hear shall more be given. The main word in the word Learning is earning, I am not saying that you can earn your way into heaven; I am saying that you can earn understanding by learning from Gods word There is a major difference in those two concepts. You do not really think Jesus was talking about money when he spoke to tax collectors in words they could relate to as he was telling them about being a good Stewart with the word of God, which is a treasure to men who would have to account for it someday. In Luke 19:1-27 Jesus enters the house of Zaccheus He was the chief tax collector and Jesus spoke to them a parable about Gods word, using language that tax collectors could understand, just like he used language about fishing to fishermen, sowing to farmers, shepherding to shepherds, and kingdoms to city dwellers the subject was (for the most part) the same as it was in the parable of the sower, only the language was changed. Remember Jesus said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will ye know all parables? This why he said that in the teaching above in, Mark 4:13. We must always remember why (Jn 3:16) Jesus has come to us, Luke 19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Also one of the main words in the word learning is leaning; make sure you are not leaning on the wrong person for your understanding. John 13:23 - Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. This man knew whom to lean on for his understanding of Gods word.     Mark 7:1-23 - 1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. 2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. 3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. 4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6 He answered and said unto them, well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, this people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men? 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. 14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 16 “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” 17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 20 And he said, that which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.     Matthew 13:1-23 - 1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the seaside. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower (first was Jesus Christ, and then went out those sent by him) went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold. 9 “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance (the word, Seed): but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he, which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Leaven

Leaven   The word L E A V E N says   L E A V E           A     N (a)       A V E.   (way)             N (in)   Matthew 16:5-12 - 5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.” 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have taken no bread.” 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.   Beware the Leaven of the modern day religious leaders and rulers of the land, do not let them Leave ‘N’ you their ‘Doctrine’ and ‘hypocrisy’.   Luke 12:1-12 - 1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 And I say unto you my friends, “be not afraid of them that kill the body”, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 8 Also I say unto you, whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 9 but he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. 11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

Legalism

Legalism       The word L E G A L I S M says         A   I   M (goal)             I S                 I     I am         A       M God is         A L     M (Alms)       The word Legalism says the Aim is I AM alms’.   The fulfilling of the Law is Christ alone and Jesus is Gods Alms giving to us who are Poor Spiritually.     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.     Romans 3:19-31  19 Now we know that what things so ever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and the entire world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.  27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. (This Law of Faith requires our obedience to the Gospel) 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.         It is not our behavior that justifies us however it is our Faith in Gods perfection as revealed by Jesus Christ and the gospel that affects our behavior which is the visible fruit of that faith. A man has to have the perfect behavior to keep the Law and Jesus was the perfect example to follow because he had the perfect behavior. A man does not have to have the perfect behavior to keep the Faith in Jesus Christ and his Gospel which brings a man into the Perfection within Christ our Lord. When Jesus is in us and we are in Jesus, one in Spirit and all in perfection within His Spirit Alone. There are a lot of spirits out there in the world, but only one of them is Holy and He is seen in Jesus Christ without measure in the fullness of the God head. And God in man, Immanuel is our Alms from God as the first fruits of many He is given for our salvation from our own behavior if we are in him and he is in us it is by his Spirit we are saved not by power or might but by his spirit found within Faith in Jesus Christ and the Gospel word of God he was sent to feed us with, because his words are Spirit and they are Life. Faith in flesh is death because it cannot keep the Law but faith in the right Spirit revealed by the Gospel is Life everlasting and it is the power of the Gospel unto salvation because it will overcome the shortcoming of the flesh. Jesus says it best because the ones who hear and do what Jesus says; they have the right faith -   Matthew 7:21-29 - 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.    Main Entry: le·gal·ism 1 : strict, literal, or excessive conformity to the law or to a religious or moral code <the institutionalized legalism that restricts free choice> 2 : a legal term or rule     Main Entry: alms 1archaic : charity 2: something (as money or food) given freely to relieve the poor — alms·giv·er— alms·giv·ing

Joh 4:23 - But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Joh 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Joh 8:36 -  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Mt 11:27 - All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.     Jesus is the Son of God who gives us the truth, Let that truth be and do not preach another so called truth about the Fathers will which could be a Lie, because all Liars will not be free from Judgment.   If a man only teaches what Jesus sends us to teach he will indeed be free, of every Lie?   Joh 20:21 - Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.   Matthew 28:16-20  16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:  for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.   Joh 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.   Joh 14:17 - Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Sometimes where we are going is foggy, but JESUS is our lighthouse and he guides us through to our destination at the end of our passage through life into the safety of the harbor of heaven.  That LIGHTHOUSE is the HOUSE of LIGHT or rather the HOUSE of GOD.   If JESUS is your LIGHTHOUSE Then he is the,   LIGHT                THOU                         USE         If Jesus is your L I G H T H O U S E  Then     I     T                 I             S               T H       E     L I G H T                       T H O U                       U S E     Also L I G H T H O U S E  Says             H       E       I             S               T H       E     L I G H T                       T H O U                       U S E      Matthew 5:16 - Let your light (Jesus) so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 6:22 - “The light (Jesus) of the body (Church) is the eye: (let Jesus see what is best for the body) if therefore thine eye be single (only one master healthy), thy whole body shall be full of light (Jesus).”   Matthew 11:30 - “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Perhaps this word is spelled like the light we see with on purpose, because it is our duty (yoke) to let the Light shine in us. Our burden to let his light shine in us is light. John 1:4 - In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:5-14 - 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.   John 3:19 - And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.   John 3:20 - For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.   John 3:21 - But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.   John 5:35 - He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.   John 8:12 - Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.   John 9:5 - As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.   John 11:9 - Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.”   John 11:10 - But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.   John 12:35 - Then Jesus said unto them, “Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.”   John 12:36 - While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.   John 12:46 - I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. FELLOWSHIP I heard a teaching on Christianity once. Someone said that being a Christian in the world is like being a boat in the water. Its O.K. for the boat to be in the water but its not O.K. for the water to be in the boat!  Well its O.K. for the Christian to be in the world but its not O.K. for the world to be in the Christian!  Based on this same thought a boat is for one. I have been through the middle of a typhoon while I was in the UNITED STATES NAVY and I would not want to be in a boat in the middle of a storm during a voyage, however; Fellowship might be Okay. FELLOWSHIP is like a ship for many.  Many who have fell low to keep them from falling back into the world. Hebrews 2:10-13 - 10 “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.” Remember without FELLOWSHIP with JESUS CHRIST you will not survive the storms in life.  See LUKE 6:49 and Matthew 7:26-27. If you want to hear what it sounds like when that house (the life, or fellowship you built) falls and the ruin of it becomes great. Just read the verses prior to the parable of the two foundations MATTHEW 7:21-23 and don’t forget LUKE 6:46.     Also if you have not fell low before JESUS CHRIST you can not have true fellowship with GOD, see ROMANS 14:10-12. Philippians 2:1-11 - 1 “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3” Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves”. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion F7 as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”   Romans 14:9-13 - 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ! 11 For it is written, “As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God”. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.   Fellowship = Humble ship?   What guides that Ship (Fellowship) is the Lighthouse, the Light of the House guides the ship not the house of the light! The house of the light is the Lords house but it is the lord of the house, which should guide the fellowship, not the house of the lord! The church is the body of Christ, and the head of the body is Christ, who is to rule over the body, because the body cannot rule over the body and still serve the head!  Just as a man cannot serve two masters, the body cannot serve two rulers, because the body can only pass on the information sent by the head.   Only a corrupt part of the body would send its own information into the body, and Jesus says my sheep know my voice.

LISTEN

LISTEN                      The word LISTEN Says   LIST            TEN    If you can't LIST all TEN Commandments, it’s probably because you didn’t LIST-TEN, and if you want to make the LIST in the lamb’s book of life, you have to LISTEN to what is WRITTEN, that writ of ten!   Exodus 20:1-11 - 1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 (1) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 (2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 (3) Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8 (4) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12 (5) Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13 (6) Thou shalt not kill. 14 (7) Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 (8) Thou shalt not steal. 16 (9) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 (10) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, “nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's”.   Jesus sums up these commandments often (list of ten) perfectly as He points out, the first four are to love God without reservation, the last six are about loving your neighbor (who God lives in, so it just like the first four), then Jesus says I give you a new commandment to love one another as I have loved you. It is that new commandment that is such Good news because now we have Gods example of what Love for one another is or rather should be.   So then the question should not be what would Jesus do but rather what did Jesus Do! That question leaves no room for speculation and provides a clear picture of what type of behavior pleases God. That question also leaves us with no reason to teach each other what pleases God or what God wants, because everyone has the perfect example to follow already, the only problem we are left with is to overcome the flesh and the nature of ourselves. That question also leaves us with the overwhelming Joy of doing our best to explain what we have learned and experienced, from that perfect example that we are called to follow, and requires us to speak boldly in the face of evil, the truths as it is discovered for us (opened to us) despite persecution for exposing that evil in this evil world, as we enjoy preaching the very same message (required) as Our perfect example came to preach, Called the Gospel of Christ

Look

Look   A Backword!   Have you ever looked at the word Look in a Looking glass (mirror)? If we look to our self for answers and still think we are kool, we are backword or Froward (to and fro).   I used to be too KOOL to LOOK to Jesus for my answers, because I was Froward, (backwards and going away from God not towards God). I was only able to see what was left ¬ and not what was right ®.   Luke 8:10 - And he said, “Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand”. Luke 7:20 - When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? Or look we for another?   Matthew 11:3 - And said to Him, "Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?" Luke 17:23 - "They will say to you, `Look there! Look here!' Do not go away, and do not run after them. Luke 6:41 - "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Luke 5:12 - And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. John 19:37 - And again another scripture saith, “They shall look on him whom they pierced”.
