 DOES BAAL GAD equal THE LORD GOD OF CHRISTIANITY? https://remnanthouse.org/does-baal-ga... Here is another excellent resource that goes into the history of the name Iaysous_Jesus as apposed to His real Hebraic Name, Yahusha https://bibletruth.cc/Body_The_Messia... Something else to consider that a brother in Messiah pointed out in Octavia's Shabbat Livestream Study and Reading we have been so LIED to by the religious arm of the beast See what LIES in-between religion? reLIEgion… hmmm! the father of lies who hasatan is at the charge of reLIEgion beloved How about what I am seeing right now? reLEGION meaning many denominations, ie (DEMON) of NATIONS Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance Elohim winked at; but now COMMANDS ALL MEN (MANKIND) every where to REPENT * If you want me to send you the evidence of what Jesus (Ieosus) really means, it's origins, along with some over 30 eye opening picture screenshots just email me at Lrose0512@tutano

Divine Love and the Proving of a True Lover

* The Disciple   I BLESS You, O heavenly Father, Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, for having condescended to remember me, a poor creature. Thanks to You, O Father of mercies, God of all consolation, Who with Your comfort sometimes refresh me, who am not worthy of it. I bless You always and glorify You with Your only-begotten Son and the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, forever and ever.    Ah, Lord God, my holy Lover, when You come into my heart, all that is within me will rejoice. You are my glory and the exultation of my heart. You are my hope and refuge in the day of my tribulation. But because my love is as yet weak and my virtue imperfect, I must be strengthened and comforted by You.  Visit me often, therefore, and teach me Your holy discipline. Free me from evil passions and cleanse my heart of all disorderly affection so that, healed and purified within, I may be fit to love, strong to suffer, and firm to persevere. Love is an excellent thing, a very great blessing, indeed. It makes every difficulty easy, and bears all wrongs with equanimity. For it bears a burden without being weighted and renders sweet all that is bitter. The noble love of Jesus spurs to great deeds and excites longing for that which is more perfect. Love tends upward; it will not be held down by anything low. Love wishes to be free and estranged from all worldly affections, lest its inward sight be obstructed, lest it be entangled in any temporal interest and overcome by adversity. Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger or higher or wider; nothing is more pleasant, nothing fuller, and nothing better in heaven or on earth, for love is born of God and cannot rest except in God, Who is above all created things.   One who is in love flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free, not bound. He gives all for all and possesses all in all, because he rests in the one sovereign Good, Who is above all things, and from Whom every good flows and proceeds. He does not look to the gift but turns himself above all gifts to the Giver. Love often knows no limits but overflows all bounds. Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of troubles, attempts more than it is able, and does not plead impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things. For this reason, it is able to do all, performing and effecting much where he who does not love fails and falls.   Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle. If a man loves, he will know the sound of this voice. For this warm affection of soul is a loud voice crying in the ears of God, and it says: "My God, my love, You are all mine and I am all Yours. Give me an increase of love, that I may learn to taste with the inward lips of my heart how sweet it is to love, how sweet to be dissolved in love and bathe in it. Let me be rapt in love.  Let me rise above self in great fervor and wonder. Let me sing the hymn of love, and let me follow You, my Love, to the heights. Let my soul exhaust itself in praising You, rejoicing out of love. Let me love You more than myself, and let me not love myself except for Your sake. In You let me love all those who truly love You, as the law of love, which shines forth from You, commands." Love is swift, sincere, kind, pleasant, and delightful. Love is strong, patient and faithful, prudent, long-suffering, and manly. Love is never self-seeking, for in whatever a person seeks himself there he falls from love. Love is circumspect, humble, and upright. It is neither soft nor light, nor intent upon vain things. It is sober and chaste, firm and quiet, guarded in all the senses. Love is subject and obedient to superiors. It is mean and contemptible in its own eyes, devoted and thankful to God; always trusting and hoping in Him even when He is distasteful to it, for there is no living in love without sorrow.  He who is not ready to suffer all things and to stand resigned to the will of the Beloved is not worthy to be called a lover. A lover must embrace willingly all that is difficult and bitter for the sake of the Beloved, and he should not turn away from Him because of adversities. * The Voice of Christ  MY CHILD, you are not yet a brave and wise lover. * The Disciple Why, Lord? * The Voice of Christ Because, on account of a slight difficulty you give up what you have undertaken and are too eager to seek consolation. The brave lover stands firm in temptations and pays no heed to the crafty persuasions of the enemy. As I please him in prosperity, so in adversity I am not displeasing to him.  The wise lover regards not so much the gift of Him Who loves as the love of Him Who gives. He regards the affection of the Giver rather than the value of the gift, and sets his Beloved above all gifts. The noble lover does not rest in the gift but in Me Who am above every gift. All is not lost, then, if you sometimes feel less devout than you wish toward Me. That good and sweet feeling which you sometimes have is the effect of present grace and a certain foretaste of your heavenly home. You must not lean upon it too much, because it comes and goes. But to fight against evil thoughts which attack you is a sign of virtue and great merit.  Do not, therefore, let strange fantasies disturb you, no matter what they concern. Hold strongly to your resolution and keep a right intention toward God. It is not an illusion that you are sometimes rapt in ecstasy and then quickly returned to the usual follies of your heart. For these are evils which you suffer rather than commit; and so long as they displease you and you struggle against them, it is a matter of merit and not a loss. You must know that the old enemy tries by all means in his power to hinder your desire for good and to turn you from every devotional practice, from devout meditation on My passion, and from your firm purpose of advancing in virtue.  He suggests many evil thoughts that he may cause you weariness and horror, and thus draw you away from prayer and holy reading. A humble confession of a broken and contrite heart displeases him.   Do not believe him or heed him, even though he often sets traps to deceive you. When he suggests evil, unclean things, accuse him. Say to him: "Away, unclean spirit! Shame, miserable creature! You are but filth to bring such things to my ears. Begone, most wretched seducer! You shall have no part in me, for Jesus will be my strength, and you shall be confounded.   Be still! Be silent! Though you bring many troubles upon me I will have none of you. The Lord is my light, my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Though armies unite against me, my heart will not fear, for the Lord is my Helper, my Redeemer." Fight like a good soldier and if you sometimes fall through weakness, rise again with greater strength than before, trusting in My most abundant grace. But beware of vain complacency and pride. For many are led into error through these faults and sometimes fall into almost perpetual blindness. Let the fall of these, who proudly presume on self, be a warning to you and a constant incentive to humility. (Taken from the book ~ The Imitation of  Christ by Thomas A. Kempis)

Dumb Sheep?

 

DUMB SHEEP?

 Have you ever heard the term: "dumb sheep"? Being a city boy, I can't really say whether or not sheep are actually "dumb", but the image they call to mind is a group of little, white, fuzzy (and witless) animals that do nothing all day but graze on soft rolling hills of green... just waiting to be eaten by Wile E. Coyote!

     
The Bible refers to Christians as sheep and in many ways we are just like those little animals: we must be led from place to place and, being defenseless, we must completely trust in Another, the Good Shepherd, for protection.

     
But, did you know that BLIND faith is very bad thing? Solomon said: "The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going." (Prov. 14:15) Luke said the worshippers at Berea "...were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." (Acts 17:11). Who were the Bereans " checking-up"  on? The apostle Paul! Paul had been teaching that this Jesus was the promised Christ and that He, of necessity, was to have died and rose again. Remember, the Jews had been expecting the Messiah in the form of a king.

     
As the Berean believers, we should not automatically accept everything we hear from the pulpit, or from any other "authority", as fact unless it agrees with the authority of scripture.

     
Real Christianity is not blind devotion to a Jim Jones, "creed" or cause; it isn't naive trust in the unreliable. It is, rather, OPEN-MINDED devotion and commitment to and personal relationship with Jesus Christ Himself.

     "
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let ALL thy ways be established." (Prov. 4:26-emphasis added.) Solomon here tells us to consider ALL our ways (not just those of a "spiritual" nature). We are to exercise good judgement, common sense, and seek wise counsel when needed in handling the everyday affairs of life. We need not be an easy "mark" for those willing to prey on the unsuspecting.

     
Jesus Himself said: " Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." (Matt. 10:16)

     
Dumb sheep? Not a chance!

       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have heard that cliche as well. As far as a sheep's nature coming from one who has made their calling and occupation as a literal shepherd over sheep, that I do not know. Much of what I read here resonates with my Spirit for those who are Truly of HIS FOLD.

John 10:1-4

 ¹Verily, 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.

 ²But he that entereth in by the door is the Shepherd of the sheep.

 ³To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

 ⁴And when he putteth forth his own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know His voice.

The sheep of His fold don't get caught up in the biblical evolution that has crept within Christianity for millennium. WHY? Because such practices contradict His word, example and voice for His sheep to pick up their cross, deny self, follow Him and LISTEN to HIS voice!. Here is a link that expounds on this very important subject. http://besanctified.blogspot.com/2011/03/biblical-evolution.html

As a side note: It is said that sheep are dumb and will follow one another off a precipice, so there is a balance here. If the sheep take the prodding and discipline of Yeshua our true shepherd, then we will be kept from the pit falls that surround us. If one wanders away from the Shepherd as others follow, then they become  DUMB, FOOLISH,and easy prey. Out from under the protection of Yeshua the Shepherd of His flock and the Head over His Body.

Impasse

It seems this is a good time as any to write this blog. It's been a HELLUVA two days battling on the net and computer glitches. BEYOND anything I have encountered with the net in a long time. If I were to try and describe what I have been dealing with you would think I WAS NUTS! INSANE even. As far as the world goes, I am just that. ( I march to the beat of Yeshua's drum, the scourge of the world.) I feel as though I have wasted hours upon hours more than I would have liked trying to accomplish some of the things I have wanted to tackle while me and my daughter have two weeks break from home school. I have hit more walls at every turn. I will not use this opportunity to RANT about my present frustrations since Trish and Ang were on the other end of my rantings. I apologize for the craziness and yet I THANK YOU for letting me rant on.

I have two major thorns in my side. One being myspace, which I no longer use for music except to post IMPORTANT spiritual stuff and then I get out right quick. The other is FACEBOOK. GRRRR! That is by far my biggest thorn and enigma! As much as I have ranted on about myspace, facebook has jumped to the number one position of my DISTAIN.

For those who like it, please do not take offense, but there is something I have picked up with facebook and these major type of NETworkings than I can humanly explain. But it is REAL and sinister. I tried creating a facebook band account and it turned into a schizophrenic situation. I don't know if I am going to forge ahead. I want to SHIT can the whole thing, but I will step back for a few days until the smoke clears and my head stops hurting. So for now I am at an impasse and wait to see where this spiritual turn is going to take me. I don't want to make any decisions out of my own hatred of facebook, when there could be something Spirit wants to teach and show me, even if it is for a SHORT time. I will take a SELAH and PAUSE by stepping back for a bit from setting anything up. Whether it be facebook, icompositions, etc.

It's time to sit down and read a book or two I have been putting off to get away from the strong pull and net programming. This is what brother Thomas talked about in his last audio podcast with Zeph. (Zedjah) It is something we need to do more to keep the simplicity in tack and to short circuit THEIR strong pull of technology we use to connect with each other. It's not the connecting that's bad, but the subtle technological traps we fall into that keep us coming back for more. IT'S CRAZY!!!!

Agape, Shalom and His Rest be upon you in Jesus Name!
