Homeward Bound

It's time to meet your maker and find out who you are in His eyes. It's time to make the right decision because your future depends on it.

I was Born-Again more than 30 years ago and Baptized in the Holy Ghost over 20 years ago. I thank Yahweh God that His Word hasn�t changed, only my understanding of it.

I use the KJV and the modern KJV primarily in this article.

True Born-Again Salvation 

John 3:18   He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

He who believes on Him is not condemned. Believes on Him? The absolute certainty of your being Saved � Delivered from an eternity in hell - is based on your Believing in Jesus having truly provided for Salvation � Healing and Deliverance � for your spirit. But that is just talking about establishing your Believing in Salvation based on Jesus being the source of that Salvation for your spirit. That is as far as most people calling themselves Christian go. But there is a whole lot more to it than that. That is what you are here to find out about.

The key here is found in the word �saved�. There is a specific meaning to the word �saved� here that is not just referring to the process one goes through in being Born-Again. There are people who get Born-Again that have never been in water deeper than their ankles. That is not all this is talking about here.  

1. to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction
   1. one (from injury or peril)
      1. to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health
      2. to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue
   2. to save in the technical biblical sense
      1. negatively 1b
   3. to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment 1b
   4. to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance

 It�s directly involved with the Hebrew word for �salvation�.

1. salvation, deliverance
   1. welfare, prosperity
   2. deliverance
   3. salvation (by God)
   4. victory

And the Hebrew word �save�.

1. to save, be saved, be delivered
   1. (Niphal)
      1. to be liberated, be saved, be delivered
      2. to be saved (in battle), be victorious
   2. (Hiphil)
      1. to save, deliver
      2. to save from moral troubles
      3. to give victory to

For all those who aren�t already paying attention the Hebrew words Y@shuw`ah (salvation {this is the name Jesus in Hebrew � also spelled Yeshua}) and Yasha` (save) together are used 277 times in the Old Testament in the KJV. Who wants to lie to me and tell me that God�s People didn�t know about or know what the Salvation of Almighty God was long before Jesus was even born in this earth? This makes it perfectly and absolutely crystal clear that the word salvation alone is NOT talking about being Born-Again obviously because the people in the time of the Old Testament DID NOT have a way to get Born-Again BUT they did have the Salvation of the LORD! What was that Salvation that they did then have? Read the definition of those words again and remember where it was said and when then let it sink in that Biblical Salvation is not referring directly to being Born-Again when Biblical Salvation existed before anyone could even get Born-Again. So, what is True Born-Again Salvation?

They had anointing oil all throughout the history of the Old Testament and it never accomplished this. So what did? The very Anointed One and His Anointing came into this earth and paid the price for us and He went home to His Father then sent His Anointing, The Holy Spirit, in full measure, back to the earth to reside here and be the Power (Anointing Oil) that destroys the yoke of satan. Water baptism is not that Power of True Salvation of Healing and Deliverance. Water baptism is only an outward show of repentance as a witness to others that you have already received the Changing of your spirit and are Born-Again. Water baptism doesn�t have anything to do, one way or the other, with whether a person can get the Baptism of the Holy Ghost or not. Many people have received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost at the same moment they were Born-Again.

When Holy men of God preach the message of Healing and Deliverance of Salvation many people get healed and delivered the very moment they pray and believe and get Born-Again even before the Baptism of the Holy Ghost has come upon them. They get changed on the inside and become new in their inner man but the outer man is yet missing something. That is why there is a distinction between the inner working of the Holy Ghost from that which comes upon you.

1. to make to sit down
   1. to set, appoint, to confer a kingdom on one
2. intransitively
   1. to sit down
   2. to sit
      1. to have fixed one's abode
      2. to sojourn, to settle, settle down

1Thess. 1:5  For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.

What power?

1Cor. 2:4  And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

 
Again, what power?

Matt. 3:11  "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."

Could power and fire have equal meaning in God�s Definition? Yes! 

 Ps 149:7-9 Expounded - To execute God�s Word upon the �rulers of darkness� (Eph. 6:10-12); to bind the rules of darkness with chains and the wicked spirits in heavenly places with fetters of iron; to execute the judgment written: this Honor and Authority have all His saints.

 The same fire referring to separating the wheat from the chaff.

1. fire
   1. fire, flames
   2. supernatural fire (accompanying theophany)

the�oph�a�ny (th�-�f�e-n�) noun

plural the�oph�a�nies

An appearance of a god to a human being; a divine manifestation.

[Medieval Latin theophania, from Late Greek theophaneia : Greek theo-, theo- + Greek phainein, phan-, to show.]

3. fire (for cooking, roasting, parching)
4. altar-fire
5. God's anger (fig.)

The best way I can tell you what that �fire� is, is to tell you that people under the Anointed Influence of the Holy Ghost possess a gift of Words that I can only describe as coming from the Seat of Gods Throne kind of Fire when they speak. The Word of God came when Holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Ghost. Those Words produced the Old and New Testament.

1Cor. 2:4  And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit [The Holy Ghost] and of power [The Anointing of the Holy Ghost]:

Heb 10:21-22  and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

 
What water?!! Lake water? Bath water? City water? Baptismal water? Holy water? None of these.

 
Eph 5:25  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

 

Again, what water?

Here we have a type of water having power the same way we have a type of fire having power as stated before. Hmmmm, interesting. There is a definite and definitive distinction between the two � fire and water. Spiritual things in God�s Word are described in figurative terms in relation to natural processes to aid in the comprehension of their purpose. What we have here points to a relationship between water and the Word and fire and the Word. Fire is always directed toward sin, the burning away of sin, and God�s anger toward sin and is mostly directed at the unbeliever; as the chaff is separated from the wheat and the chaff is burned up. Also as in Romans 12:20 - Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." In this we see that the love of God burns at the heart and minds of those that do evil, the sinner, and the unbeliever. Water is directed toward the process of washing away the sin nature in man that has been set on Fire or burned away by God�s Word. The Holy Ghost is the Power of the Word that accomplishes this by using the Fire of God�s Word or the Water of God�s Word through the Anointing of the Holy Ghost. The Fire and the Water come from the same source and are used to accomplish the same task but with two different functions. This should give you a clue to the Fire coming from the mouths of the two witnesses and who that is addressed to and the Rivers of Living Waters and to whom that is addressed to also.

The Anointing

1. anything smeared on, unguent, ointment, usually prepared by the Hebrews from oil and aromatic herbs. Anointing was the inaugural ceremony for priests

1. consecrated portion, anointing oil, portion, ointment, anointing portion
   1. ointment (used to consecrate by anointing)
   2. anointing portion

1. anointed, anointed one
   1. of the Messiah, Messianic prince
   2. of the king of Israel
   3. of the high priest of Israel
   4. of Cyrus
   5. of the patriarchs as anointed kings

The Word of God says we have been made Kings and Priests.

Kings and Priests. For what purpose?

  
In all my studies in the Old and New Testament I�ve found that without the Anointing of the Holy Ghost you can not possess the Power to really do anything against the devil at all and you are of no consequence to him and no real threat to him. The very fact the word Christ is used over 500 times in the New Testament is evidence of the importance of the true meaning of the word Christ � Messiah - The Anointed One and His Anointing. The flippant manner in which people use the word Christ as if (the word �Christ�) were nothing more than a title or salutation attached to Jesus' name is expressive of a people who truly lack a personal understanding of the magnitude of The Power of the Anointing that could exist in their own personal lives. The Anointing of the Holy Ghost is no light-weight thing to be talked down to and degraded. It is the single most precious aspect of Almighty Gods Person and the one single subject of all spoken topics that can be blasphemed against and not forgiven. The blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is not something that can be arrived at easily either. Of all that I learned from Paul, if I learned nothing else, was that in his view no man or woman could be considered Anointed Ones (True Christians) without the Baptism of the Holy Ghost � The Holy Ghost is the very Anointing Himself. John the Baptist spoke it first, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." - Matt. 3:11. It doesn't take much to figure out that if all you did was get baptized with water you didn't get everything.

Acts 2:38  Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the GIFT of the Holy Spirit.

This is the most easily understood passage I know of that shows someone being Born-Again and receiving the GIFT of the Anointing Himself - the Anointing Oil � The Baptism of the Holy Ghost. If someone has truly set their heart on Almighty God to repent and seek the forgiveness by Jesus� Blood Sacrifice there won�t be any question whether they are Born-Again or not�they will know. They must recognize the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and truly repent for the Fire of the Holy Ghost to effectively burn away the death and sin in a person�s heart in order to be Born-Again and be Washed by the Blood of Jesus (which is the Water of the Word) to make way for the receiving of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Eph 4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism.

What baptism? What One Baptism? Water? You didn�t get Anointed with anything other than water if all the Baptism you�ve had is being baptized in water. Yeshua - Jesus didn�t become the Anointed One - Mashiyach � MESSIAH until he stood at the river Jordon to be Anointed with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Only one Baptism counts in the eternal weight of God�s measure and Jesus is the only one who can give it. He, Personally will Baptize you with His Anointing of the Holy Spirit and Fire. The Holy Spirit is that Fire and Water and the Anointing Oil of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. This is the very purpose of what the Anointing Oil of the Holy Ghost was sent to do. The Fire of the Holy Ghost burns out the death in your spirit when you get Born-Again. The Water of the Word is the Blood of Jesus that speaks on your behalf and what washes your spirit to make it white as snow. If you think you can protect others and loved ones in the midst of the Hell that is coming without His Anointing� I guarantee you will go in pieces and not in peace.

Neither Hot Nor Cold But Lukewarm

Rev 3:14-16  And to the angel of the church of the Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Head of the creation of God, says these things: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

If you have a heart of stone, you are cold, dead and definitely not Born-Again.

If you have a heart full of the Love of God and have received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost then you are one of the Anointed Ones and know the Fire of God and you are someone that is definitely not cold.

So, who is lukewarm?

I used to see only two types of people in this earth. But, because of what Jesus has said here in Rev. 3:14-15 I had to ask the question of who are these lukewarm people? Who is in this middle ground?

The bottom line is the unchangeable fact that the very word Christ from the Greek word Christos means Anointed. So, the  word Christian means to have The Anointing Oil of The Holy Ghost smeared on, poured on or rubbed into indicating that it is referring to something not coming from somewhere inside you. The Anointing of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost is not something you can put on or take off at your leisure. I know that Anointing � that Baptism of the Holy Ghost, and anyone with that Knowledge will never be at the mercy of anyone without it!!!

No one in all the Old Testament was called to serve God as a Prophet, Priest or King without being Anointed with the Power of God to do the Job. Not One!! Jesus was Anointed with the Holy Ghost after He was baptized by John. Only the one�s Baptized in the Anointing of the Holy Ghost were called Christians � Anointed Ones in all the New Testament.

So again, who is lukewarm? I�m sorry to tell you that if you are simply advocating being a Born-Again person without the Baptism of the Holy Ghost you are lukewarm. It won�t keep you from going home with the Lord but you will not have a place in service of the Lord in the time soon to come. Why not? No Power and no Anointing in which to deliver to the people in great need in the midst of the Hell coming on the earth soon. If you don�t possess that Anointing of Jesus and try to make yourself out to be Christian (an Anointed One in His name) The Lord will spue you out of His mouth. Simply put, the Lord will denounce you for continuing to present yourself as being Christian and not having the Power thereof - the Anointing.

Rev 3:14-16  And to the angel of the church of the Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Head of the creation of God, says these things: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Rev 3:17  Because you say, I am rich, and I am made rich, and I have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. 

So because you are lukewarm you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. 

Naked? In what way was Adam naked in the Garden of Eden after he defied the Lord? Easy answer. He was naked when the Glory of the Lord left him! His Anointing left him!! That is what the Glory of the Lord is!! The Glory of the Lord was the Anointing of the Holy Ghost on him!!! He lost the Glory of God both inside him and on the outside of him!! A Born-Again person has the same Spirit of God in them that Adam had before he fell. Adam lost all of the Glory of God and became a dead man in his spirit and separated from God completely making his heart a heart of cold stone and that is what physically killed him.  That is part of what Jesus went to the Cross in order to restore to us�. A heart of flesh instead of stone. The other part Jesus restored for us was that Glorious Holy Spirit Anointing that was on Adam. 

So then, if you are a Born-Again person without the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and naked and calling yourself Christian, an Anointed One of God, you are representing and presenting yourself as an Anointed One � Christian but you in fact only have a form of Godliness but not having the Power of that Anointing.  I�m telling you people, you better �get understanding� of this, because your days of playing with Christianity are over.  You need to get that straitened out before you dishonor that Anointing any further. Many are called but few are Chosen.  There are many Born-Again people out there but few have made the step up to being Chosen. You have to be a totally yielded person for the Anointing of the Holy Ghost to come on you and Baptize you with God�s Glorious Anointing.

Eph 4:5  one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Eph 4:6  one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in you all.

Eph 4:7  But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the GIFT of Christ (THE ANOINTING!!!).

There is that GIFT again!! Ok, it says God is in you all and that is understood if you are truly Born-Again.... But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the GIFT of Christ - The Anointing.  In what way is being Born-Again given according to a measure as though it came to you in portions as though you were Born-Again in portions one leg at a time or arm or foot or eyebrow? Obviously this measure is talking about something other than being Born-Again.

Acts 2:38  Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the GIFT of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 11:13  If you then, being evil, know how to give good GIFTs to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?

In my experience most churches don�t present the true nature of Almighty God to people. They can�t because they don�t know what it is. They don�t truly walk in the Majesty of God. I�ve walked in the Knowledge of the Majesty of God for over 20 years and seen answers to things out and beyond anything you can ask or think. You have to taste the fullness of God�s Word with your spirit. You can�t get it any other way. To see the simple and absolute principles of Almighty God you have to be on equal terms with Him. Abraham wasn�t a perfect man by any means but The Word says he walked perfect and upright before God. How did he do it? The Word says Abraham fulfilled all the terms of the Covenant between God and him. That was all he was required to do in his entire life. That is all we are required to do too. We must grow in an understanding of terms of our part of the Covenant that is now between God and Jesus. It is a covenant that can never be broken because of the two parties in the Covenant can not sin. We are joint-heirs with Jesus in that covenant. We can still sin and fall out of fellowship with that Covenant but Jesus is our advocate and when we repent we are fully restored. Our Blessed Hope (Titus 2:12) is the resurrection and transformation that makes us like Jesus now is in His resurrected immortal body. That is our ultimate goal.

Being Equipped For Service 

Nobody that is truly Born-Again ever has to ask themselves whether or not they are Born-Again or not. They know! They know the eternal void that was the nature of their spirit inside them before they truly turned to Almighty God, believed the sacrifice Jesus made for them and received Life in the very being of their inner man the moment they turned to God and said, �I receive Your Life for mine.� There are many people walking on this earth who call themselves �Believers� that have never experienced that moment of deliverance that is Born-Again Salvation Deliverance from death to Life. The ones that call themselves �Christians� and �Believers� and have rededicated their lives several times in their life have never truly experienced the True Transition from death to Life nor do they know what it means to be translated into the image of God�s Dear Son, Jesus. No one that has experienced that Change in their spirit has to ever ask themselves the stupid question of whether or not they are Born-Again. They Know! But that is not where it ends.

This is followed by what I see as the hardest words in the entire Bible, because it comes with consequences.

I�ll state this as plain as I as I do to other people I teach. If you�ve walked in the ways of God�s Word for more than 10 years and haven�t been confronted with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost you�ve got a problem. If you�ve walked with God for 20 years and are still sucking on the milk of God�s Word you�ve got an even bigger problem. It�s time for you to grow up and get 100% for God or step off. Hebrews 6:4 & 5 are not talking to people that are just �Born-Again�. There is the next step.

Being equipped for service.

This is a point people run to or run from. Being Born-Again sets you free from hell, but doesn�t equip you for service. No man in all of God�s Word was equipped for service without the Anointing of God on him. Not one. You can not do the Works of Faith with Power without the Anointing that goes with it. The very Word of God itself has all the Power in it that it needs to bring itself to pass but it can�t come to pass until it is spoken in the earth. For the purpose of getting people healed and delivered and as well as Born-Again, it has to be spoken. Born-Again people don�t have to be Anointed to get other people Born-Again, they must simply speak the Word because the Holy Spirit will do the Work through the Word of God itself. This has given many Born-Again people the excuse not to need the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. They know the Holy Spirit and the Word of God do the Work of Salvation. But that doesn�t answer the next part.  

1. strength power, ability
   1. inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth
   2. power for performing miracles
   3. moral power and excellence of soul
   4. the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth
   5. power and resources arising from numbers
   6. power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts

In this the Word of God gives no excuse for not speaking �with new tongues.�

Luke 6:46   �But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?�   

Why will they speak with new tongues? Of course it is the evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost but why else should there be people speaking in new tongues?

This serves its best purpose when you are addressing someone from a foreign land that doesn�t understand your language but you speak to him through the Holy Ghost in tongues in his language. That is one way tongues become a sign to unbelievers. But there is a better reason to speak in tongues:

1 Cor. 14:22  Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

1. prophecy
   1. a discourse emanating from divine inspiration and declaring the purposes of God, whether by reproving and admonishing the wicked, or comforting the afflicted, or revealing things hidden; esp. by foretelling future events
   2. Used in the NT of the utterance of OT prophets
      1. of the prediction of events relating to Christ's kingdom and its speedy triumph, together with the consolations and admonitions pertaining to it, the spirit of prophecy, the divine mind, to which the prophetic faculty is due
      2. of the endowment and speech of the Christian teachers called prophets
      3. the gifts and utterances of these prophets, esp. of the predictions of the works of which, set apart to teach the gospel, will accomplish for the kingdom of Christ

There is a vital point to be made here. This passage in 1 Cor. 14:22 clearly states that Prophesying (giving a divine utterance from the Holy Ghost) can only come by way of a True Believer that is Anointed of God with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. This passage also emphasizes the fact that all those not possessing the Baptism of the Holy Ghost are in the same category as unbelievers.

Some people think prophesy in church or in a church setting only comes from an unknown tongue to the congregation. Most of the Old Testament came through someone prophesying and they didn�t do it by speaking in an unknown tongue and needing an interpreter.

People also get hung up on the private interpretation issue. It simply means that no prophecy of the scripture was ever for the benefit of just one person to understand.

So, how best does �tongues� profit all? I have found that praying/interceding/receiving (it�s all one thing) in the Holy Spirit in tongues is the single most powerful tool a Anointed Holy Ghost believer has. It is praying in perfect harmony with the Holy Ghost in the perfect will of God to intercede on someone�s behalf in their time of need that thwarts the influence of satan in their life and others and their environment and the whole world. I have yet to find any greater purpose for tongues. Prophesying in tongues and interpretation can also serve this purpose in the presence of the right people.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ [in the service of The Anointed One and in His Anointing] may be ashamed. (1 Peter 3:15, 16)

We�re on the home stretch and this is where things get sticky and sometimes painful.

Those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, are not simply Born-Again people. The people that have received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and the Wisdom thereof and have tasted the heavenly gift of tongues in their mouths, have become partakers of the Holy Spirit in receiving the Anointing as Jesus did, have tasted the good Word of God as Divine Prophecy issuing from their lips and heard in their ears, and have tasted the Powers of the age to come are not simply Born-Again people. They are the True Anointed Sons and Daughters of God endued with the Power of God with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Anointed Ones

I give you this quote from Vines Expository New Testament Dictionary found under the word Christian:

1. Christian, a follower of Christ

 Vine�s Expository Dictionary goes on to say:

 Though the word rendered �were called� in Acts 11:26 might be used of a name adopted by oneself or given by others, the �Christians� do not seem to have adopted it for themselves in the times of the apostles. In Pet. 4:16, the apostle is speaking from the point of view of the persecutor; cf. �as a thief,� �as a murderer.� Nor is it likely that the appellation was given by Jews. As applied by Gentiles there was no doubt an implication of scorn, as in Agrippa�s statement in Acts 26:28. Tacitus, writing near the end of the first century, says, �The vulgar call them Christians. The author or origin of this denomination, Christus, had, in the reign of Tiberius, been executed by the procurator, Pontius Pilate� (Annals xv. 44). From the second century onward the term was accepted by believers as a title of honor.

Today we have people who call themselves Christians and know nothing of what it means in the context of the usage of the word Christ in the Bible. True Christians are the Anointed followers of Jesus. There are whole denominations of people that pervert and degrade the very meaning of the word Christian and have a form of Godliness but deny the Power thereof. And it says, �from such, turn away.� The phrase �turn away� alludes to the same command that God gave Lot and his family when he left Sodom and Gomorrah. And for all those who haven�t figured this out yet, all those in the first century Church didn�t consider anyone to be completely saved (Yasha`) and have received salvation (Y@shuw`ah) until they had fully submitted themselves to Almighty God and received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. They knew that you couldn�t successfully fulfill the Great Commission and Command of Jesus Himself without the promise that Jesus made concerning the Power from above that came at Pentecost: The Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

This is what I teach those who need to be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you.

Romans 1:16  For I am not ashamed of the {gospel} of Christ [The Anointing]: for it is the {power} of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

True Word of Faith

I hope to empower you with a reason why so many people don't know what Word of Faith is. It is really simple actually. See if you can follow along.

But here is the key:

1Cor. 2:4-5  And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

That your {faith} should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the {power} of God.

Because:

2 Thess. 1:11  Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of {faith} with {power}:

The bottom line is this:  Any Works without Power is not of Faith.  Any Works without The Anointing to give it Power are �dead works� and not of True Faith. He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you by the hearing of faith does so by the work of faith with power for my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power through  faith  that comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God, that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the Power of God  because the gospel (Good News) of The Anointed One and His Anointing is the Power of God unto salvation to every one that believes.

Many denominations, churches and people in them have a form of Godliness but deny the Power thereof.  What Power? What Godliness? The Power to be like God? Yes! How?! To be made in the likeness of God means what? To be like Him? Yes! How?! How are we like Him?! Can the works of your hands bring forth the Power of Godliness? No! What does bring about that God-like Power?

How then are we like God?! Can the words of our mouths bring forth the Power of Godliness? Yes. What is the definition of the word �GOD�?  God � Author, Originator, Creator, The Beginning of All Things, The Completion of All Things. So we come to another dilemma.

So why is satan called the god of this age (god of this world � KJV)? The question answers itself. Satan authored, originated, and created sin and a world system with sin in it. Sin began with satan and will be finished along with him. (He was the only known Cherub Angel to ever be Anointed of God.) Is there any creature on this earth other than man that has the capacity to possess Godliness? Is man like God? To be like God does man have to be God-like?

Does that answer the question or would someone rather choose an answer that God didn�t Himself write?

You Are Gods?

The Word of God is the basis for understanding the past and present and future. That being true people still have a dilemma presented to them when the Word of God says something outright blatant for all-the-world to see. As the Word is Spirit Indwelt with God�s Knowledge and Understanding it would do us well to seek to understand Him and His Knowledge as His Thoughts are Higher than our thoughts and His Ways are Higher that our ways. The Word says It must be Spiritually discerned (1 Cor 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}.) and that we must worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. We must also understand Him and believe Him not with our feeble understanding but in Spirit and in Truth (Ps 15: 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and {speaketh} the truth in his {heart}.). The Truth doesn�t exist in your head but in your heart; your spirit. Ask Peter. He said, �not so, Lord�, when Jesus told the disciples that He must be crucified. Peter wasn�t speaking in Spirit and in Truth but in the spirit of opposition. If for one moment you see the Truth and then turn from it, having cursed it in saying, �it�s not so�� there is hope for you to find the Truth again, but if you spit in God�s eye and call Him a liar and choose to believe something that is not true�. That is another matter entirely. Ask Judas.

Proverbs 4:7 {Wisdom} [is] the {principal} thing; [therefore] get {wisdom}: and with all thy getting get understanding.

 

1 Cor. 3:18   Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise {in this world}, let him become a fool [let him discard his worldly discernment and recognize himself as dull, stupid, and foolish,  without true learning and scholarship (Amplified Bible)], that he may be wise.

Now who are those that are fools among us? Let them learn that they no longer be a fool. The very word �fool� is defined in the Hebrew means to be �voluntarily stupid� or �deliberately ignorant�; in other words it simply means �to be stupid on purpose�. A fool is one who knows the right thing to do when he/she chooses to do the wrong thing anyway.

Even so, let�s shine the light of the Word on an area of contention and see if the Word finds you in opposition to it.

The Hebrew text simply says (and it is kind of backwards but it wasn�t written with our grammar in mind), �(Psalms 98:6) I have said, gods you; and sons of the Most High, all of you.� The Jewish Kethuvim has Ps. 82:6 as, �I had taken you for divine beings, sons of the Most High, all of you;� 

So let us see again what happened to Jesus:

John 10:29-38

29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.

30 I and [my] Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

(There was no argument in the Jews minds as to whether or not they belonged to God already being the sons and daughters of Abraham. That is irrevocably in their Covenant with God. They accused Him of calling himself God. Jesus rebuked them by answering them with their own accusation.)

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, {Ye} are {gods}?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and I in him.

So, who among us would like to be the first to throw stones at God�s Word?

Everything in the New Testament has a reference in the Old Testament. The phrase �King of kings and Lord of lords� is also in the Old Testament. It refers to the same thing but it says it a little differently and you might not like what it says but it still says it anyway.

So it comes down to this: Jesus is God of gods, King of kings, and Lord of lords; we (the very son�s and daughter�s of God and the Body of Christ [The Anointed Ones]) are, and forever shall be, the gods, kings, and lords that He is God, King, and Lord of. Jesus taught it, knew it and understood it and those that speak against it choose to be in opposition to what He Himself taught, knew, and understood. I�ve heard the statement made that we play �what if� because �what is� is too impossible to confront.

Equal With God? 

What are these greater works than these? God �has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man�. What does it mean to be �equal with god�? We know Jesus is but what of us?

The hard reality comes next:

(NOTE: Mark 16:17 says - And these signs shall follow {them that believe}.) The Holy Ghost is The Anointing that bears greater witness of Jesus who went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with and confirming The Word with signs following (Mark 16:20). Jesus has shown us the Ways of the Kingdom of God and has commanded us to do the same (Matt. 28: 19-20).

So what good is it to be �Equal With God�?

*Would you like to know where Paul got his from and where it originated in the Old Testament?

Psalms 149:7-9 {expounded text} � To execute vengeance on the �rulers of darkness�; to bind the rulers of darkness with chains and the wicked spirits in heavenly places with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: This honor and authority have all His saints. Praise the Lord!

This is where we find out who has the honesty to stand with the Word of God or against it. This is the moment of truth and where we find out who will honor our God given Lordship in this Earth to carry out the Written Judgment upon the devil and all his kind. Jesus Himself said regarding satan, �Resist the devil and he will flee from you�. How much room do we give the devil in our everyday lives? Eph. 4:27 - �Give him no place!!�

Romans 9:20  (Aramaic Text of the Peshitta) However, O man, who are you to question God? Shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why have you made me like this?

What state was Adam in when God made Him? What relationship did Adam have with God before he sinned? What state was Adam in after he sinned? If Jesus� death didn�t redeem all that Adam lost then what did it pay for? Did Jesus� sacrifice pay for us to be joint heirs and equal with God? Us? Very much so! Are we as much equal with Jesus as Jesus is equal with The Father Himself making us equal with God also? Yes! Have you ever seen a head on a body that the head was made of something different than the body it was on? If God Almighty called the men who the Word of God came through �gods� and they are as much members of the Body of Christ as we are, what does that make us? Gods? If not then what great shame we bring upon ourselves in calling ourselves sons and daughters of God! If we simply belong to God and nothing more and God said He owns all the cattle on a thousand hills then does that make us cattle too?! No, we are not simply people that just belong to God but by the Pure Blood name of Jesus and by the Covenant of His Blood we are His sons and daughters!! If the Body of Christ do not take our place in authority as gods in this earth, immovable, ready to fight all the forces hell has arrayed against us, then why call ourselves sons and daughters of God at all?!! [Ps 125:1 - Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.] If we compromise this one awesome fact in God�s Word we will never truly represent all that Jesus (the Anointed of God and First Born of Many Brethren) stands for! Heirs of God and Joint Heirs with The Anoint One and His Anointing who preach the True Word of Faith!!!

Do you give honor to God and willingly give God�s Word authority in your life and freely receive the Lordship that has been given you of Jesus? We as sons and daughters of God now have the first fruits of the Spirit as evidenced by our reborn spirits in us as Born-Again people. *Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form (likeness � shape and nature) of {God}, thought it not robbery to be {equal} with {God}.

Gen. 5:1   This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the {likeness of God} made he him.

Who would dare to besmirch the very Word of God and degrade God�s handiwork in saying that His sons and daughters are �just old sinners save by Grace� when the True Holy Word of God says, �For He [God] made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we [mankind made in the likeness of God] might be {made the righteousness of God} in Him. (2 Cor. 5:21)�!!! The only �might be� about it is whether you choose to be Born-Again or not! �Just old sinners� what are you waiting for?! Isn�t a hand written invitation written in Jesus� own Blood good enough for you?!!

Psalms 37:11   But the {meek} shall inherit the {earth}; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Matt 5: 3  Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed [are] the {meek}: for they shall inherit the {earth}.

6 Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Jesus did rise and judge the earth with His own Blood and has inherited all nations. As Joint-Heirs with Him and as gods in this earth we are commanded to take up where He left off and finish His work in the earth. We are now the kings and priests in the earth as He was in His earthly ministry. With all the hell that is coming on this earth, if you do not have The Anointing that Jesus has on Him, on you, then there is nothing about you that can be called Christian or Christ-like or Anointed like Jesus. Without The Anointing you can not possess True Godliness and The Power Thereof. Acting Holy doesn�t make you Holy it just makes you pious. The Word says: But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ [The Anointing] may be ashamed. (1 Peter 3:15, 16) If you have your heart set right with God so The Anointing can be on you then you will walk in that Godliness like as Jesus Himself. True Holiness comes from within and can�t be simply put on like a fancy suit.

Because of the Work that we have set before us we must know who we are in the Anointed One (Jesus) and His Anointing (The Holy Ghost). The Truth in the Word of God is not for the faint or chicken hearted. We will not truly represent all that Jesus stands for until we do realize who we are!!!

What Shall We Do, That We Might Work The Works Of God?

Prov. 18:20   A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 21 Death and life [are] in the {power} of the {tongue}: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

 If God�s Word is life to all our flesh then is certainly life or death to anything else we speak it to.

*Proverbs 18:20   A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 21 Death and life [are] in the {power} of the {tongue}: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

What work on this earth is the most vital and of most utmost importance in the sight and eyes of God?!! You think that Paul didn�t understand what Jesus himself taught and understood for all the Word of God they then had? Jesus commanded, "Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him." - John 6:27

What work was Paul speaking of that he worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you? Seek first the kingdom!!

We Are Sealed!

1. to set a seal upon, mark with a seal, to seal
   1. for security: from Satan
   2. since things sealed up are concealed (as the contents of a letter), to hide, keep in silence, keep secret
   3. in order to mark a person or a thing
      1. to set a mark upon by the impress of a seal or a stamp
      2. angels are said to be sealed by God
   4. in order to prove, confirm, or attest a thing
      1. to confirm authenticate, place beyond doubt 1d
   5. of a written document 1d
   6. to prove one's testimony to a person that he is what he professes to be

Here we have to unravel a very serious theological lie that is now passing itself off as the truth. Many people fail to get this one point right simply because they misuse easy to understand words. At the beginning of this article we find the established fact regarding True Born-Again Salvation and the fact that Salvation � Healing and Deliverance � itself and alone existed before anyone on this earth ever became Born-Again. The People of God were Healed and Delivered many, many times in their history.

So, we have the question: can you lose Salvation? Better question: Can you lose your physical Healing and Deliverance? The answer to both questions is, yes. Simply put, you can do things that push God�s Divine Protection of Salvation � Healing and Deliverance- away from you and become sick and in need of Salvation again. You can go far enough away from God�s Divine Protection and get killed too. God�s People were Saved from multitudes of calamities of every kind and Healed and Delivered from those calamities time and time and time again. This is where we come to the need for an exact understanding of the effect of Salvation.

In all the Old Testament when people got Saved what part of them got Saved with the Power of God�s Salvation? It wasn�t their spirit because NONE of them were ever Born-Again before Jesus died on the Cross. So in that fact we can establish an understanding that the Salvation of the Lord deals primarily with the things of your body and all the external physical circumstances in relation to your physical body. That is all the Salvation of the Lord could do for God�s People in the Old Testament. That was also the very thing that the Pharisee Nicodemus knew and understood very well from his studies of the Word of God. But Jesus told him something he didn�t understand.

John 3:1-18    And there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.  2.  He came to Jesus by night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles which you do unless God is with him.  3.  Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  4.  Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born?  5.  Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  6.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  7.  Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again.  8.  The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice, but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.  9.  Nicodemus answered and said to Him, How can these things be?  10.  Jesus answered and said to him, Are you the teacher of Israel and do not know these things?  11.  Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak what we know and testify what we have seen. And you do not receive our witness.  12.  If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?  13.  And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven.  14.  But even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,  15.  so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  16.  For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  17.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.  18.  He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

Here is where New Covenant Spiritual Salvation comes into the picture:

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

Saved through Him how?

He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

For the Hebrew People of God this was the crossing over from the Old Covenant Salvation to the New Covenant Salvation. He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in Salvation - the name of the only-begotten Son of God. Remember that the name of the only-begotten Son of God is the Hebrew word Yeshua which means Salvation. This is also why Jesus said, �therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.� Yeshua - Salvation is the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Adam killed his spirit in his action of sinning against Almighty God. Through the process of you Believing in Salvation the Healing and Deliverance Power of the Holy Spirit made you Born-Again and Saved you through Jesus going to the Cross which Delivered your spirit from going to hell. That is the New Covenant True Born-Again Salvation that Healed and Delivered you in spirit, soul, and body and made you a new Creation in The Anointing of Salvation.   The KJV says new creature in Christ Jesus. You can see from that example how the Word of God has been so manipulated to hide the Full Truth from plain view. There are many words in the Bible that if you simply knew the meaning of the words used you would have access to the same understanding people had that originally wrote them down and you wouldn�t have to unravel the convoluted mess the Word of God has been turned into by the handiwork of evil men under the influence of satan.

And so we come to this:

2Cor. 5:16-17   So as we now know no one according to flesh, but even if we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we no longer know Him so.  17.  So that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new! � Literal translation

John 3:3   Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If one is not generated from above (born again � KJV), he is not able to see the kingdom of God. � Literal translation

Here is where we unravel the lie.

Key passages from John 3:1-18:

Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

This is where you must get something fixed in your mind regarding what it is to be Born-Again, Generated from Above, a New Creation, Born of the Spirit, have Everlasting Life.

Question: Is there any why in all the physical existence of the earth that you can change who the woman was that gave birth to you?  You can never change that, forever. It will be an everlasting fact.

When the Spirit of God made you a New Creation and you became Born-Again you were Born of the Spirit into Everlasting Life. That is forever too.

In this same fashion you can not simply be Born-Again then sin and become unborn-again then repent and return to being Born-Again. That Everlasting Life is like the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and not something you can turn off and on like a light switch. In fact there is only one thing said in all the New Testament that indicates anything in regards to one losing Everlasting Life�. The Blaspheme of the Holy Ghost.

Mark 3:28-30   Truly I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies with which they shall blaspheme.  29.  But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never shall have forgiveness, but is liable to eternal condemnation.  30.  Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

Luke 12:10   And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

Hebrews 6:4-6   For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,  5.  and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the world to come,  6.  and who have fallen away; it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame.

So, anyone advocating the lie that anyone who is Born-Again will go to hell if they don�t live a perfect life needs to return to the Lord with a true heart of repentance and ask for True Understanding for what Jesus died on the Cross for and stop degrading the Power of The Holy Spirit that gave them Everlasting Life. It takes the act of someone who has walked in the Power of God to truly believe that the Work of the Holy Ghost is pure evil straight from satan to send a Born-Again Anointed of God Believer to hell. I promise you, that is not easy to do either. A simple Born-Again Believer who has never experienced the Baptism of the Holy Ghost who talks against the Working of  the Holy Ghost saying that it is the work of the devil is simply a fool. But someone who is a True Anointed One who has operated in the Power of the Holy Ghost and then believes that the Working of the Holy Ghost is  from satan� it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame.

But, as for any Born-Again Believer going to hell for just any unrepentant sin is false.

1Cor. 5:1-5   On the whole it is reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even named among the nations, so as one to have his father's wife.  2.  And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, so that he who has done this deed may be taken from your midst.  3.  For as being absent in body but present in spirit, I indeed have judged already as though I were present concerning him who worked out this thing;  4.  in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, with my spirit; also, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ;  5.  to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

This goes back to what was said before regarding the fact that you can do things that push God�s Divine Protection of Salvation � Healing and Deliverance- away from you and deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. That 'may be saved' part leaves room for the Blaspheme of the Holy Ghost.

Obviously the man in 1Cor. 5:1-5 didn�t follow the path that Jesus set before him in this example:

Luke 17:3-4   Take heed to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him.  4. And if he trespasses against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, I repent, you shall forgive him.

Likewise, The Lord can�t forgive you if you don�t ask Him for forgiveness. But if you as a Born-Again Believer were to cheat on your wife or husband and get killed on your way home before you repented to the Lord and asked forgiveness doesn�t mean you will automatically go to hell. It means that it was your sin that got you killed on the way home.  If you want to stay in the Lord�s Salvation � Healing and Deliverance � Protection you have to stay in His Holy Presence and sin can�t stay in His Presence� sin will kill you.

God Almighty doesn't easily give His People for any reason...ever! Of all the sins that David committed Almighty God held only one against him. One! Sending a man to his death on the front lines of war so his wife would be free to marry another was the one sin God held against David! God Almighty is the Ultimate Father of the prodigal son.  Know this and remember it: Sin will shorten your life and it will ever kill you and sin is an act of turning against you Covenant with God BUT it IS NOT the same as turning against God Himself directly. God wasn't lying when He Said that He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. The blaspheme of Blaspheme of the Holy Ghost is an act of coming against Almighty God directly and that will separate you from the presence of God forever.

This completes our circle and brings us around again to where we started.

John 3:18   He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

But he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in The Anointed One and His Anointing - the very True Born-Again Salvation of Almighty God!!!

He who believes will be Born-Again, but then...

He who believes on Him is not condemned because he has believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God - Jesus - Yeshua - Salvation and is Baptized in the Anointing � the Glory of God that Adam lost in the fall � that destroys the yoke of bondage will be Saved � Healed and Delivered.

See how simple the Word of God can be when you work on equal terms with Him and His Word and not just somebody�s version of it. Don�t just take the King James Versions word for it. Take God�s Word for it. It means a whole lot more coming from Him.

Acts 2:38   Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the GIFT of the Holy Spirit.  

Let every one of you receive the Gift � Anointed Baptism of the Holy Ghost � of Yeshua � Salvation - the Anointed One Himself � and you will be able to fulfill your ministry in the earth as He did who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him.

Act 10:38   How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Show me a testimony that would be greater than that!!!

 So Great a Testimony!

1Cor. 2:4   And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit [The Holy Ghost] and of power [The Anointing of the Holy Ghost]:

Is 8:20   To the law and to the {testimony}: if they speak not according to this {word}, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.

1Cor. 2:4-5  And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

That your {faith} should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the {power} of God.

Rev. 12:11  And they overcame him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the {word} of their {testimony}; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Shall it be that we all have so great a testimony as we stand steadfast against the forces of hell and defeat satan with the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony!

Choose Sides Now!

Jesus said He would rather that we be hot or cold and not lukewarm. Go all the way with God or not at all. Satan already knows the Bible chapter and verse and still doesn�t understand it and doesn�t believe it either and works hard to get everybody else not to believe it too. Try not to be like him, there is enough of that already.

In my thirty years of walking and talking with God I didn�t seek to learn theology from somebody else about God. I chose to learn theology about God from God. Go to God. He said it and wrote it and who would know and understand it better?

This is not theological philosophy, people! It�s not theoretical physics! It�s the Word of God! The Word says there are two wisdoms in the earth. There is the earthly wisdom of those who do not believe or understand the Word of God and there is God�s Wisdom. Which would you rather choose? The Word of God is very unearthly. God�s Word is referred to as the Wisdom that descends from above. How Heavenly Minded you are determines how earthly good you are ever going to be (read Col. 2:20-23; 3: 1-4 again). God said that His People perish for a lack of Knowledge and Wisdom (the Vision to use Knowledge). You think that Knowledge and Wisdom comes from down here on earth?

It�s God�s Word. Not mine or yours or anyone else�s. I never take the foolish approach to stare God�s Word in the face asking if it is true! I see other people make that mistake over and over and over again. I ask, why is it true?!! There is not an, IF! Many people can talk a good game but they can�t show other people WHY The Word of God is True!!! Jesus did SHOW the people WHY God is True. �These signs shall follow them that believe�, not the ones that don�t!! Jesus did say, �Go you therefore, and teach all nations and go you therefore into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.� Teaching them what? �Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.�  What did Jesus do for them? What did God do for Jesus in His earthly ministry? Jesus went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with and confirming Jesus (The Word) with signs following (Mark 16:20). Amen.

Mark 16:20  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them*, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

*(The word �them� was added by the King James translators and is not in the actual text. Read it without it and you get what the text actually said.)

The Word of God is not hard to understand if you can find out WHY He wrote it and not IF He did.

The Word has already said that we have inherited the earth � like it or not. And along with the earth we have inherited Jesus� work; the halt, the lamb, the blind, the bruised, the broken hearted. All Born-Again people that are Anointed with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost are called to finish the Work of Jesus. That is the Work we must do or we shouldn�t eat, because our lives in this earth as Anointed Ones in the service of God is pointless otherwise.

How much of this can you say you have done or followed? How much in your life has truly followed the reputation of Jesus? How much of the Blood Bought Gift of HEALTH and LIFE have you given to a lost, sick, and dying world?!!!!

Every  Anointed One,  True Christian, should wake everyday with these questions on their lips! I do!

Anyone who truly wants to be Christ-like should know the word CHRIST means ANOINTED WITH POWER! Do you want to be Anointed like Jesus was and is and take up your Cross and shuck off all this evil world and follow Him and REFUSE to bow to the forces of hell then stand in the fires of hell on this earth and REFUSE to burn that whole nations might be saved!!!  The Anointing is what it will take to preach The Gospel to the ends of the earth and then The End shall come. I personally know what it's like to work in an environment where hell awaits you every day with its murderous, loathing, seething, hatred for you with a smile on its face. It is still considered one of the hardest prison units to work in as a correctional officer in the state of Texas. The Anointing of Almighty God in Jesus Name was the only thing that kept many of my fellow officers and I alive in that pit of hell. It certainly wasn�t good ol� Baptist theology that did it! It was hard to be upbeat in a place like that much less uplift one another, but we did it every bloody day watching inmates rolled out on stretchers that had hung themselves �til they were dead; watching inmates that had beat and stab each other and my fellow officers.

So many men and women fought and bled and withstood all the forces of hell and finished their Work of Faith with Power to established God�s Word in this earth so Jesus could came down here to die and raise again proving God�s Word is True for you to ask and question �IF it�s true�!!!  If you�re not with God you�re against Him and the best choice you have is to back up, repent and start over and seek Gods Face and be that good and faithful servant and not a rock throwing fool!

Go in peace and not in pieces.
