ENVY

Greetings. Mark 15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. As a kid I envied other cultures for the texture of their hair. If I could get my hair to look like those movie stars on television, all the girls would fall at my feet I imagined. We all envy something better than ourselves, king Saul tried to kill David because the people favored him more. 1 Samuel 18:7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? Our mental kingdom will be troubled if it’s ever revealed to us that God’s thoughts are greater than our thoughts. Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. Out of envy and pride we try to understand God’s thoughts: without seeking Him first: we refuse to humble ourselves to know them. John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. We spiritually try to kill God’s words by making them our own wisdom; we want God’s word to glorify us, and make us look good to others. Millions of so-called Christians never study the Bible, because they have no faith and are mentally lazy servants. What can this spiritual revealed words of God do for me, they would ask? Will it help me win the million-dollar lottery or make my kids talk to me, without first paying them? No, it can give us eternal life. We have judged the words of the Bible ourselves and that made us unworthy of everlasting life. Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. The gentiles in the above verse speaks of our thoughts that can believe and has nothing to do with a physical people. Acts 14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. Our unbelieving thoughts stir up trouble, and envy the good thoughts that would believe.

1 Samuel 18:8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, they have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? MY fleshly wisdom or the carnal man that lives in all of us: is our constant enemy. 1 Samuel 18:29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually. My flesh fears the reveal word of God and continually tried to justify itself. I often thought why God did not just delivered David, from King Saul. To be worthy of God’s Kingdom must, we suffer the persecution of the flesh. We must put ourselves on the Spiritual mental cross and allow the judgment found in God’s word to kill our old mortal way of seeing the Bidle. Romans 2:7 to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life. As I write these letters: my flesh wants to interpret the Bible verses and destroy their spiritual immortal meaning. I have learned to patiently wait on God’s Spirit to reveal Himself in every word or verse. Out of envy and pride we put our own thoughts on them to avoid the cross or the wisdom that’s destroys old man: our mortal thinking. 1 Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. There is a Spiritual light hidden in God’s word, which we refuse to see because it would destroy our darkness that we call light. 1 Timothy 6:16 who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. We love our inner darkness and go through great lengths to hide it from others, yet this great darkness is hidden even from ourselves. John 3:20 For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. God’s words when seen through His wisdom exposes us and we flee from that light or judgment. Matthew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Often what people would call famous [we’re all evil] evil men, would take pictures with themselves surrounded by children. If you look closely at some of the old news reels, you can see the terror in the children’s faces.

PART 2

As a kid it seems every day, I was getting my nose bloodied daily. Being extremely skinny and quiet I made the perfect victim. 1 Samuel 23:14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand. I understand now why God allowed me to go through such physical violence: he was preparing me to go through the violent fire of man's tongues. James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. God will protect us against verbal swords and bows even as David was protection against physical ones. Psalm 64:3 who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words. All things are done against us to stop God’s kingdom from coming in us. Yet God has revealed to much of His in us, to stop short.

DUST OR THE THING THE SUN NEVER SHINES ON

DUST OR THE THINGS THE SUN NEVER SHINES ON

Greetings. As I start off this new letter looking forward to the good things God wants to reveal to me: from his good word. Psalm 84:11For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Grace is when God is revealing His words unto us and when we see His image hidden in His words: we behold His glory and not our own. Millions have wrongly imagined: the good thing in the above verse is something physical. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Our vain images will be our own thoughts or our witness on God’s words, and they are our [1 Corinthians 15:34] shame. Isaiah 44:9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. The images here need not be anything physical, but an image is formed in the mind as to the character of God, as we read His word. This image formed in the mind becomes our vision; it’s a vision of ourselves. Our own counsel is void of any spiritual knowledge, yet it is sweet or delectable unto us, yet it can never profit in the knowledge of God, and we only profit in the things of this world. Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?Psalm 84:11For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Grace is when God is revealing His words unto us and when we see His image hidden in His words: we behold His glory and not our own. Millions have wrongly imagined: the good thing in the above verse is something physical. 2 Corinthians 3:18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Our vain images will be our own thoughts or our witness on God’s words, and they are our [1 Corinthians 15:34] shame. Isaiah 44:9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. The images here need not be anything physical, but an image is formed in the mind as to the character of God, as we read His word. This image formed in the mind becomes our vision; it’s a vision of ourselves. Our own counsel is void of any spiritual knowledge, yet it is sweet or delectable unto us, yet it can never profit in the knowledge of God, and we only profit in the things of this world. Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul Spiritually when we walk [Psalm 84:11] uprightly we are no longer seen as a beast in God’s eyes. Psalm 73:22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. I observed that sometime the older a person gets, the more bend over they walk. I observed a women so bent over, in the marketplace the other day: her whole upper body was almost parallel to the ground or dust. Psalm 44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

END OF INTRODUCTION

I recall as a kid going skiing on a class field trip: I could hardly sleep that night for the excitement. As the dawning of the day came about; was the first time I ever saw the sun rise and it was beautiful. Ecclesiastes 7:11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. The verse is saying is: that God’s wisdom which is above the sun or heavenly and nothing about a physical sun. Our earthly wisdom cannot inherit eternal life and it becomes our riches. Luke 18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? The scriptures called the above Bible figure a certain ruler, because he as we: rule over what we think and that’s what makes us all spiritually rich. Luke18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

Lately Churches have adopted a strange saying: Sunset Services, replacing the word funeral. Yet if we never see God’s hidden glory in His word: we have only seen the things under the sun or man’s glory. When God has never made His glory known unto us: when we physically die we return to the dust. Jesus never preached a funeral: He knew man was already Spiritually dead. Matthew 8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. When we begin to follow the wisdom from above: we are no longer spiritually walking by the dead earthly wisdom of this world or what we can physically see. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight:). Sight is all our carnal wisdom or understanding can comprehend, when reading God’s word. Man has refused to believe a greater wisdom exist; thus he has no faith. Ecclesiastes 9:13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me. The wisdom King Solomon spoke of in the above verse is man’s wisdom concerning God’s word. Our own wisdom concerning things in the Bible appears great unto us because it’s our own glory. James 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. Until we learn to hate our earthly, sensual, devilish wisdom, we will never see the new wisdom or things from above. King Solomon in the next verse expresses the deep hatred he had for his wisdom in this world. Ecclesiastes 2:17Therefore I [King Solomon] hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Vain man does the opposite of the above verse and loves his wisdom about the Bible: which is under the sun. Spiritually hear as Jesus condemns this life in the flesh, just as King Solomon did. John 12:25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

We have these words vex and grieve in the above verse and how might we spiritually compare them with other similar verses. We grieve the Holy Spirit when we forsake His council concerning God’s words and go our own way. Proverbs 15:10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. Hardly nobody wants to be reproved or corrected even in physical matters, let along in Spiritual things, because it grieves our self-righteousness. I recall as a student in school: how I hated those red correction marks on my test papers. Was not its satisfaction enough for the teacher to just put the letter F, at the top of the page? Vexation has nothing to do with anything physical, but the condition of our hearts. A singer once sang: when you have a heartache there is nothing you can do. This he sang concerning physical relationships. Ecclesiastes 2:22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun? We all labour not firstfor our own wisdom and we emphasize: not first! 1 Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

PART 1

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. So, try as foolish men will, with all types of strange doctrines or teaching: he has not seen the wisdom from above. And sunset services should be called: dust to dust services. Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Unless God quicken His words unto us our living souls dies and returns to the dust. Genesis 3:19 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Here God plainly states that man is just mere dust; unless His Spirit adds water to that dust. We will return to this water and dust connection in another letter. Is there anything more useless than dust? Yes mortal man! Numbers 5:17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water. Spiritually man is an earthen vessel and Jesus is our Great High Priest and the Churches of today claim to be the Bride of Christ. Thus, God takes dust or us and we are to be the spiritual earthen vessel of his Holy Ghost. 2 Corinthians 4:7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. In order to have this treasure from God we will have suffer great persecution from our own thoughts.

But our God is a very jealous God, and he tests us. Numbers 5: 14 and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: 15 then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, [Spiritually the wife or bride is to be undefiled having not lied with the thoughts of another man] and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. God words is the Spiritual living water that cleanses [John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.]

us when we spiritually partakes of it otherwise it causes a curse. Ephesians 5:26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. If we continue to hear God’s words in our own wisdom, it becomes our self-righteousness which is iniquity. Psalm 51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Having grown up hearing thousands of laundry detergent commercials, I have concluded that none of them cleans any better than the ones 60 years ago. We ask God Spirit now as He brings these deep things together for us. Number 5 :17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water: 18 and the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse. The woman here symbolizes the church and not a physical woman. Numbers 5:19 and the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse. The modern Church has gone aside to the unclean thoughts of the carnal mind concerning the scripture; she’s having trespass God’s law and been with the old man of sin: the carnal mind. NOW SHE IS CURSED! We trespass when we are have turned away from the Lord to follow our thoughts or wisdom. Numbers 5:27And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. The Churches today of have spiritually drank of the living water, but her heart or thoughts have been with another man. Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. We are commanded to confirm or say the same things God is saying about his word; not some of them but all of them: otherwise, we are cursed. Jeremiah 11:3

and say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant. I went to Churches for 25 years to be cursed by Preachers that couldn't confirm none of God's word, even if their lives depended on it and spiritually it did. God never hired them; only other men and we rejoiced in their foolishness. Matthew 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. Those that were told to go into the vineyard are ones God hired. One self-hired Preacher said years ago, and he was saying it against himself unknowingly ‘’that God will fire you and leave you on the job.’’ Yet even until today he stills proclaim his own wisdom is God’s words. Malachi 2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. The curse God will send unto us, will be our own wisdom: which cannot save us from ourselves. Numbers 5:27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. Have the Churches of today spiritually been with another man? We are commanded to allow God’s words to destroy the man of sin within all of us. Yet we have failed, and he lives and mocks the true things of God. Our God has become our spiritual belly because we mind earthly things. Proverbs 26:22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. We just goes about telling lies or tales about the things of God and spiritually wounds our own souls. Hallelujah this belly thing is greater than anything I ever saw and I rejoice in the spirit as I write this. I rejoice because in my wisdom I could have never seen it. Ezekiel 3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. It is a beautiful thing when we can partake of God’s word His way.

Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

HATE AND ENVY

ENVY AND HATE

Greetings. Where do we go from here? John 6:68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. We must suffer to hear the hidden words of eternal life the way Jesus heard them from heaven. As God has revealed more of His words unto me, I realize I how much more is hidden from me. In seven years, I can look back and realize my spiritual growth. I also realize when I should have been bolder to speak His truths: regardless of the outcome. Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word. It’s not that we fear physical violence, but fear of offending the person or persons we are talking to. Yet people have no fear in cursing us by proclaiming the greatness of their gods: sports heroes, politicians, and of course movie stars. 1 Samuel 17:43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. When you proclaim yourself a star, mentally people are supposed to look up to you. I recall some years ago when a man was proclaiming the greatness of his god, a basketball player and I showed no interest at all. He got offended as if he wanted to fight, and I assured him I would grant his request: he then backed down. God must grant us the boldness to offend, because the reveal words of God will offend people fleshly thinking. Unto now I never spiritually saw it, that it’s God that grants us this boldness. Matthew 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. Millions of us are not blessed spiritually because we refuse to speak God’s truth, and we ignorantly imagine we are blessed because of some physical possession. Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Out of envy we want to hear the things of God’s word in our own wisdom, which is impossible without the Holy Ghost interpretation. Luke 18:27And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. We forget we are just mortal men and God’s Words are Spirits. Mark 4:12that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. We are only forgiven when we perceive what the Holy Ghost is saying in any word or verse. We do not receive the Holy Ghost by doing anything physical. Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. What are these things we must witness to in the above verse? By the Spiritual hearing, the things or words that only the Holy Ghost teaches. 1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Men will fill Churches with followers on any given Sunday by teaching man’s wisdom and nobody can discern the difference. These spiritual whore houses that call themselves Churches can never triumph in the things of God. The Holy Ghost will never be given to us when we obey our own wisdom or unrighteousness. Romans 2:8 but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath. We all at first have a hidden hatred of anything greater than us, and God’s wisdom supersedes the folly or wisdom of man.

PART 1

John 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. Our father has been our own devilish thoughts against God’s words. Mentally we form or fathered these thoughts in our mind. We give birth to these evil thoughts when we speak them out. We are the Devil and if we are not, we are not a real person. The great dragon is not Communist China only the fire that comes from our mouths. Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan. Jesus’s words are the exact words spoken in heaven and not of himself. Matthew 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? All of us have failed to spiritually see the deadly instrument of destruction would be our tongues. James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. We defile God’s words by seeing it in our own wisdom, thus making it unclean or defiled. In this next Bible parable or story, we see where a man takes a woman by forced, thereby making her unclean or defiled. God’s words are parables because there Spiritual true meaning is hidden unto us. We are to search for these hidden treasures: to the saving of our souls, which is a Spiritual understanding of the scriptures that comes from above. Genesis 34 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. We as mortal men take great pleasure in taking things by force. Physical countries and nations do it all the time and we as individuals take God’s word by force and make it unclean. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. My little flock of God thoughts fears my own devilish thoughts that would come against Gods thoughts. When we fear more our own thoughts as to the interpretation of his words, we make our thoughts His thoughts and take His words by force. Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. John the Baptist and other prophets, prophesize the good things to come when be when Christ comes to reveal His words. Up until John, men took God’s word by force and created their own kingdoms of darkness. The role of the Prophets was to show us that we were only seeing God’s words in darkness. The Prophets words were preparing our hearts to receive the words from Christ. Matthew 5:17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Prophecy has nothing to do with future physical events, but fore tells the coming of the Christ making His words known and we are commanded to wait. At first all we will spiritually see when reading God’s word is temporal or as flesh or grass. Isaiah 40:6The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. Men prays a five-point sinner-prayer at a physical alter and right away thinks he’s good. Isaiah 40:7 the grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. We are to be patiently waiting for the Spirit when reading God’s words. Many have heard the saying a man is ruler of his castle. Yet we are kings or princesses that rule over mental nations of thoughts. Instead as a wicked prince or ruler in our own minds or country; we take and defile the very pure words which can save us from ourselves. Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. In our defiled minds nothing is pure, and we reign supreme: it's our secret Kingdom of Darkness. Job 3:14 with kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves. Our counsellors have been our own wicked thoughts and we have built a desolate place in our minds: void of any Spiritual understanding. Genesis 34: 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. As spiritual Shechem’s we do not ask, for what we think we spiritually see: we take and defile. Genesis 34:3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. Do we as Shechem love the Law we have taken? A woman in the Bible is symbolized by a law. When people say they love their Jesus, it’s only an image of a fleshly Jesus they have created in their mind. Our carnal mind is a very subtill enemy and seeks to destroy us. By taking God’s wisdom and making it our sinful thoughts: we make it sin. In our modern society you do not rape a woman and then desire her to be your wife. Genesis 34:31 And they said, Should he [Shechem]deal with our sister as with an harlot? On any given Sunday men spiritually rape and defile God’s words and make it their mental whore.

TO BE SEEN OF MEN

I have observed most people desire to be seen or admired of others, this person included: yet this personal ambition is starting to abate in me. Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments. Our works here represents how we interpret God’s word, and if we interpret it in our wisdom our works must be burnt up. When we hear God’s word the way He sees them: our way of seeing them will be dissolved, and this has been our works. 2 Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness. I recall as a young men how I loved to dress up and go to my local synagogue of Satan on Sunday mornings: to be seen of men. I enlarge the brim on my Fedora and wore my Italian suits with pride. Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men. The works are our thoughts, and our thoughts are our works. Our work has nothing to do with anything physical we might do to impress others in a physical Church. Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. We denied God’s name: which is his word when we make our wicked thoughts equal to his thoughts. We see God’s name in our own wisdom and reject the spiritual door and try to enter in another way. John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. [See the letter: ‘’Barabbas’’ on our legendary website shibbolemibstries.com.] Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. Isaiah 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts. We repeat, our works are our thoughts, and we are commanded to stop saying things about the Bible that we cannot prove by other scriptures unless; it is revealed to us by the Holy Ghost. Yet to be seen of other men and receive their glory, we are constantly adding our thoughts to God’s word. Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. Preachers or fools refuse to hold their peace and will give their own interpretation on any scripture because it glorifies them: God never called them. Proverbs 17:28

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

John 7:18

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. It has just been revealed to me as I write these words, what is God’s righteousness? It is when we seek His witness about the scriptures, we are entering into His righteousness. We will not be seeking the glory from mortal men, when we witness His glory or the meaning of the immortal scriptures. John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? When we believe our own witness about the Bible we will never see His glory, and our own glory spiritually puffs us up. 1 Corinthians 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? In physical bread, leaven causes it the rise or puffs it up. When partake of God’s word do wicked thoughts arise in our heart? Acts 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. We can only witness God’s glory when we can spiritually knowledge our glory has been the glory of the flesh. We have not cared as long as other men praised our own foolishness, and we receive glory from them. John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. Jesus gives the glory or the interpretation of God’s word because they are one and gives it to us. Earthly mental glory and praise from mortal man is such a great sought out achievement. Let a man win the Super Bowl and an announcer strips him of that glory by asking him what’s next. The word glory is mentioned close to 400 times in the Bible: it has been a mystery to us. In order to receive the glory from above we have to be stripped of our own earthly glory. Job 19:9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. Mentally we are born with a crown and see ourselves as kings; even if our wives see otherwise. The crown of your head is located at the very top of your skull. You may also sometimes see it referred to as the vertex.

We all love the praise and glory that comes from other men. Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. Modern history is full of men of the earth that were great orators; it has been rumors that many didn't even write their own speeches. Whether it was written by them or not: they still receive the glory from men. Acts12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
