“Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with orange slips: In the day shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow:
Isaiah 17:10 – 11
Altogether, the vanity of gain and advantage, of seeking commendation amongst themselves and not from God, of subscribing to the false narrative a life of scarcity, that the covetousness of position, of wealth, of land, of things be presented as the mark of success, whereas the Lord has called for a life of peace and faith in his commandments of joy, faith, goodness, gentleness, and thanksgiving amongst all, and that we seek the Kingdom Of Heaven within us according to the Truth & Righteousness of God, such vanity has been a betrayal of what the soul of each needs, manifesting desolate hearts, unsound minds, and darkness of spirit, that the love of many grows cold, with the multitude being led astray and scattered, oppressed, and driven to darkness because of the favor given to those things which profit not in the ways of God.
The proclamations of the Lord shall endure; his wisdom and understanding is infinite; his Word is Truth, and his Spirit is Righteousness: all who turn their backs upon God show no mercy unto themselves nor understanding, having not the strength of the power of God; having forsaken through ignorance and unbelief; being faithless in the promises of God; the gentle waters of the river of God that brings forth peace and goodness with eternal life and citizenship in ‘Holy Jerusalem that is from above;’ grasping blindly the temporal things of their season of earthly life for that that is presented as peace, and that that is offered as good, when in finality, it produces an anxious troubling of soul and mind, empty desolation of heart, and spiritual death. They forsaking the precepts and teachings of God being found through the meekness of reading the Word of God, I say, through the meekness that is an open heart and mind that finds righteousness in saying,
‘the Lord I love; and in him is truth and life, and I shall satisfy my soul with the words and Spirit of God, that it be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path; that peace may settle upon my soul and countanance; that I may know the gracious Lord and be known of the Lord, that I may walk in his paths of liberty, bringing forth the good fruit of soul and mind because the Light of God in me, even the Lord Jesus Christ whom the Father set in my heart (Psalm 19); the bridegroom and Great Shepard of my soul; the Sun of God, a strong man rejoicing ready to run his race. Therefore, I will render unto my Lord the sacrifice that he asks for, a life of thanksgiving through good works without the dross of vanity, nor the limiting, tired ways of this world, but with eternal godly strength because of God in me. I shall go forth with God, according to his Spirit through his Word, yea, according to his Word, through his Spirit, and not after my imagination, nor the ways of this world. Having attained unto the eternal holy inheritance of life everlasting. Not needing the things of this world as a covering for my soul, but to give those things of God with all holy and meek understanding; bringing forth things old and new; giving liberally and generously, that my life may proclaim the victory that is of God, even the conversion of my soul through his work of enjoining it his Holy Spirit unto me; the Lord who has created heaven and earth, and proven his victory upon sin and death, showing that we can have faith in him and is promises. Amen.’
Unto those who scoff and disdain, whom choose the pleasant things of this temporal life instead of the truth and way of God, whom is loving and kind, gracious, and plenteous in mercy; unto those who remain in the ‘palace of Pharaoh’ who’s dwelling is the kingdom of spiritual darkness and has been proven through all the words, teachings, and historical accounts found in the book of the perfect law of liberty of God (the King James Holy Bible) to lead unto desolation and death, rather than the seeking of the heart of God; unto these shall the inheritance be temporary and of this world. Yet, where is Pharaoh and all his glory? Does he live forever? God himself having removed the Hebrews from Egypt; a picture of the translation of the Israel of God from one kingdom to another; Moses, being a picture of God, successfully led captivity captive out of Egypt, overwhelming Pharaoh with his marvelous acts, even the seven plagues. And what of the Pharaoh of four hundred years before during the seven years of plenty and seven years of famine? Pharaoh could not save any, and trusted in Joseph to deliver him and his house from famine and destruction. And who is Joseph, yea, a son of God, even a son of God who has the Sun Of Righteousness dwelling in him. Joseph, the great-grandson of Abraham lives because of God, whereas Pharaoh and all his house are nothing, even relics in a museum. Christ Jesus is Lord and King then; and the mountain of God, yea, his kingdom is upon all the mountains of this earth; even all the nations and people, and his Word and Spirit is true, and faithful, and everlasting. His house alone being delivered, death, nor sin having any lasting victory upon it.
Howeversobeit, how shall we be a success unto God and in the good works of God? How shall we work and be found acceptable and pleasing that the Lord, whom we with all lowliness of heart and mind should daily intreat that we receive first the peace and love of God, rather than the expectation of earthy reward? It must be that we look upon Jesus and consider his meekness; whom having the preeminence as by whom heaven and earth were created, even the sun, the moon, the stars, and the human being along with all creation, by whom the earth remains until his Word comes again, and of whom all things are. It must be that we accept all of Christ Jesus in the reading of all The Word Of God; praying for patience and peace that we may endure in the reading. For as he sais in the scripture, who shall abide with who God, who is everlasting burning and is as a consuming fire, whose Word is as a furnace melting away vanity, and the dross of covetousness, showing what manner of person we are? Yea, his burden is light and his yoke is easy; if you can forsake this world and be holy as the Lord sais we are to be holy; if you can love all, proclaiming liberty to the spiritually captive, and reaching forth as a help to the broken of heart and the contrite of Spirit; rightfully dividing asunder with all wisdom and knowledge of God how we are to minister, vaunting not our holy citizenship forward as vanity, but solemnly and thoughtfully considering the Israel of God; needing nothing, and doing everything; at peace, yet working fervently; in the spirit of longsuffering, yet abounding with joy and strength to love, brimming in the glory of God with thanksgiving unto good works. Yea, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but who shall walk successfully and who shall be counted victorious, seeking the commendation of God, and not of each other? The way is straight and narrow, the burden is light and easy.
“In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.”
Isaiah 18:7
And what a people are these, whom are new creatures in Christ Jesus; being upright in heart and zealous in faith and mighty in good works according to their diligence of their alignment unto the Word and Spirit of God? The Lord presents his house through his Word in the Holy Bible: a people persecuted and trodden down; a people who have a ‘new song’ and proclaim the Light of God unto a world which cannot see, nor hear, nor understand, because their hearts have been blinded by the prince of this world, who is the prince of the air, Satan, whom God cast down unto the earth for his covertousness and wrath, and who works deceitfully with craftiness that he may beguile and control humanity. But whom are these people (Psalm 19:3 – 4) who boast such confidence of holiness, and are often regarded as nothing, even as fools because the heart of the ungodly says ‘there is no God,’ but the heart of the new creature in Christ says, ‘my Lord, and my God?’ Who are these who need nothing because they have received everything? These are you and me! These people are a remnant of humanity whom the Lord has preordained before the foundations of the world were established; God being gracious unto us whose life has been ransomed from the kingdom of darkness through the propitiation of God himself on the cross, because he was crucified and proved his strength in returning to life, openly showing unto humanity, and all dominions and principalities, that he is God Almighty, that we might be bolstered in our faith in the life, goodness, and promises of God unto a better life through him, with him, and in his ways, according to his Word and Spirit, that our soul may be watered and fed, and our children may rejoice being sanctified through the faith God set in us and flowing unto them.
The Lord, having given liberty unto all through Adam and Eve, but mercy and grace unto his sons and daughters, having elected them and predestinated them before the world was created, that a portion of humanity, enjoined with the Holy Spirit of God, proclaim what is the right way to live, and what is the truth and righteousness that we should be anchored into. To such, God will work through unto all in mighty ways, that his will be accomplished, according to the zeal of our sound faith in the Lord, proven unto God and ourselves through our good works found to be acceptable unto God. Yea, Daniel, and Isaiah, and David, and Moses, and Joseph, and Asaph, and Ezra, and Nehemiah, and Jonah, and Samuel, and Ruth, and Mary Magadelene, and Mary, and Jeremiah, and ‘Deborah Under The Tree’, and Prisicilla and Aquilla, and Paul, Peter, James and John, and Silas, and Barnabas, and Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, and Enoch, and Jude, and Jesus, the bright and morning star and the Sun and brightness of the glory of God. How shall we not be of that house of God, the Israel of God, seeing so many have walked before us in truth and in righteousness, with all strength of faith in the promises of God. The Lord counting them successful. What peace of mind and fulness of heart with strength of joy, and great love unto all because God has loved us first, wherewith, we become amazed with the Lord finding that he is ever before us knocking on the door of our heart and mind, and not far away from us, but our prayers finding their way unto him, who is in us, when they are to the tenor of God, according to his Word and Spirit?
Therefore, read his Words that you may learn how to pray for the right things, that whatever this temporal life may bring, whatever persecution or outcasting we may encounter, whatsoever shunning, scorning, mocking, disregarding, gainsaying, backbiting, unbelief from others unto ourselves as new creatures in Christ Jesus that we may experience, what is that in the light of God accepting us? Rejoice. Wanting happy families, and calm hearts let us be peaceful and glad in the wisdom and understanding of God, whom speaks love and joy unto us, asking that we wear the garments of the righteousness of the Lord, while giving him the glory due unto his name; finding the wherewithal of the matter through the light of the knowledge of God in the old authorized version King James Holy Bible, or original, untranslated Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic languages. Yet with the life and gospel of the new testament that is Jesus Christ, our Lord, by whom the Word makes sense unto our soul, and without whom, faith is dead, but though whom we find our faith complete; the life of Jesus being the successful way we must be.
Jesus, the author of truth and faith, and the exemplification of holy meekness, brought forth no example of accumulating material wealth, educational degrees, or acquisition of lands, of things, and homes, for such investment of time should not be first, but the reward of a godly life being without variableness nor self-deceit; (lest we beguile ourselves); the reward being the things of God, whom will openly reward us as we must need according to his purpose. God knowing that we need to be clothed and sheltered, and with “knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom,” (Daniel1:17), has certainly called us to be “clever, yet harmless as doves,” not willing that we go into earthly poverty, but having faith in God, seeking the truth and righteousness of God daily at his door through his Word, and not the word of others, but as he has given it to us, through the Holy Bible, for that book teaches us how to interpret and understand it without needing the sense of the word to be preached always after the understanding of some, but as God has called, that we directly approach God ourselves that we may ‘sup’ with him. Such a beginning the start of peace in us, and such knowledge being a ‘lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path (Psalm 119), that our hearts are conditioned and made sound in the matter of choosing correctly how we shall work in this life, and how we shall rescue ourselves, being enjoined unto God, I say, not ourselves without God, for we are new creatures with Christ, having a godly mind and a new soul-Holy Spirit being, thus, choosing correctly without anxiousness how we shall work, and how we shall divide our time that we be a peaceful people of family and for all, therefore being temperate; temperance being the fruit of the spirit of God, we then doing good works in the establishment of our families physical and spiritual sustenance and shelter in all godly ways that they and us may truly rejoice in whatsoever state we be in; finding contentment, nay, assuring the accomplishing contentment at all points that we may be fountains of gentle-heartedness, of great solemn faith without dross, and pillars of peace in our homes and community; that our children may find the success in the pattern of our life; that they may find the worthiness of also reading the Words of God, recompensing peace back unto us with joy and love, their life also proclaiming the beginning of wisdom and understanding, that Jesus Christ is the King of their hearts, and their life and your life being replenished with the glory of God, finding yourselves happy, assuring our understanding on how to give all the glory bestowed upon us to God, for it is the work of God in us, lest at any time our countenance express the fault of Annani’as and Sapphi’ra (The Acts 5:1 – 2), whom sought craftiness, presenting themselves as holy, having kept back a portion of their material wealth, whereas they falsely presented the complete offering of their wealth, seeking he vanity of commendation amongst people, and showing to themselves, to Peter and the apsostles and unto those present, that they were wholehearted, when in fact they were working deceit.
The burden of the Lord is light and his yoke is easy, as Jesus Christ has said, wherewith the path of the Lord is straight and narrow; so how shall we zeal without the daily reading of God? Certainly, that we guard against being desolate of heart and unsound minds, we must do the Spirit of the Word, according to the heritage that God has gifted us with, his Word; if so be that we protect our hearts and the minds of our spouse and children while also working diligently to minister unto all of the Holy Flock of God, with all zeal and uprightness of heart. God letting us know, through the continuity of peace in us that our good works must be with all, and not unto ourselves and our own families only, but as it is, that we minister unto the Israel of God foremost, working with all knowledge, prudence, cleverness, and wisdom; proofed with holy goodness and gentle-heartedness; with faith in the strength of God’s manner of joy, graciousness, mercy, and peace, that our own families may realize the earnestness of the love of the Israel of God, whom are the Christians. Amen and Amen. May the love of God sound within you and the speed of God move through you that ye may go forth as the mighty and enduring of the Lord in all holy meekness unto him, that you and I may do good works, and proclaim that effectual opening of the love of God, even his provisions and blessings to this world, that we might win them through the peaceful, yet zealous and lowly heart; even our conversation with God, according to the Spirit of Christ Jesus.
