"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I REMEMBER NO MORE." (Heb 8:12)
Things that are difficult or impossible for man to do is NOT so with God. John 1:14 said that the Word of God (i.e., Christ Jesus in flesh), is FULL OF GRACE and TRUTH.
# What is Grace?
[1- A way of moving that is smooth and attractive and that is not stiff or awkward. : a controlled, polite, and pleasant way of behaving. 2- Seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion.]
Here are just a few more synonyms on what it is to be GRACIOUS or be divinely full of grace:- MERCIFUL, compassionate, KIND; FORGIVING, lenient, clement, FORBEARING, humane, TENDERHEARTED, sympathetic; indulgent, GENEROUS, magnanimous, benign, benevolent, courteous, POLITE, civil, chivalrous, well-mannered, mannerly, decorous; TACTFUL, diplomatic; considerate, THOUGHTFUL, obliging, accommodating, indulgent, FRIENDLY, amiable, cordial, hospitable, etc.
....and these are just a few of what the disciples of Jesus experienced and enjoyed every single day and moment they were privileged to be and rub minds with the Word of God, i.e., Christ Jesus. You CAN'T have this kind of grace and still hate people.
IMPORTANT: For as long as God's eternal covenant remains, He has promised to NEVER leave us nor forsake us (Heb 13:5). And because this is the TRUTH, we are able to confidently pray and sing psalms unto the LORD, that "SURELY goodness and mercy shall follow me(us) all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." (Psa 23:6)
Every single earth day that I am privileged to enjoy, I am assured of His goodness and mercy till He returns or I take my last breath of fresh air. ALL MY WRONGS ARE MADE RIGHT AND ETERNALLY FORGOTTEN BECAUSE OF HIS SPIRIT WITHIN ME.
# Check Your Attitude.
Your attitude is checked by your depth of understanding. The more you know God, the more you trust in Him.
"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MIND, and WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS: and I WILL BE TO THEM A GOD, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: FOR ALL SHALL KNOW ME, from the least to the greatest." (Heb 8:10-11).
... and here's my insight on this very loaded verses in Heb 8:10-11:-
When you receive the Word of God into your heart (understanding), your mind will be filled with divine thoughts that will shape your attitude in life. Power is released for you to get whatsoever you desire because God is going to back all His thoughts in THIS Mind. And through this, we all shall KNOW Him personally.
Are you seeking for the Truth? Do you know Him that is the Truth (John 14:6)? "And ye shall know the truth, and the Truth shall make you free." John 8:32.
Glory!
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and WE BEHELD His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH." (John 1:14)
The Word of God, all that God had said and given in the Spirit, was made flesh (Christ Jesus). All the glory and beauty in the Word of God was made manifest through Christ Jesus. And so many missed knowing God through Christ Jesus.
# How could people have missed this, you may ask?
Many still think glory is just a ball of lightning or the halo above the head. GLORY INDEED IS LIGHT, BUT CONTAINS VIRTUES. If you are not also very careful in knowing what to look for, you too might miss knowing God through His Word made flesh, i.e., Christ Jesus.
Today, Christ is still with all of His children, covering us with His glory. The pillar of cloud and fire that went with the REDEEMED of the LORD (i.e., Israel) from out of Egypt in Exodus 13, was a physical manifestation of the glory of the LORD. But when Christ Jesus, the same LORD appeared in the flesh, they couldn't believe their eyes. They thought He was a joke, and sadly, many still think like that today.
# What does the glory look like in flesh?
The glory of the LORD then was very physically manifested, but now it's spiritually discerned. THE GLORY IS THE CONTAINER OF GOD'S NATURE (the manifest presence) THAT BRINGS REST. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: against such there is no law." (Gal 5:22-23)....and "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." (Psa 23:6)
# The signs of His Glory.
If you can't physically see the glory of the LORD in form of clouds, fire, thunder and lightnings, then look for these virtues in people and you WILL HEAR, SEE AND KNOW the LORD.
Don't be deceived.
Be spiritually minded: for we walk by faith, and NOT by sight (2Co 5:7).
"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." (1Co 2:14)
If by now you are still completely led by only what you can see, then you surely will be deceived in no time. You have to be able to hold the spiritually unseen and physically seen manifestation of things in your mind at same time, else, you're still carnally minded.
The Connection:
Spiritual beings manifest themselves in physical things, while the physical beings manifest spiritual virtues/fruits. A physical man that is spiritually minded, produces spiritual fruits that generate power that bring rest all around.

The Most High God.
(Psa 82:1-8) -
"I HAVE SAID, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." (Psa 82:6)
When Moses asked God for His name and person in Exodus 3:13-15, God simply gave "I AM THAT I AM", which is His name forever and a memorial unto all generations.
Now, looking at both names: the I AM and the Most High, the first (I AM) is unfathomable, while the other (the Most High) is measurable BASED on the objects or subjects at hand. The name "Most High God" is given to indicate that THERE MUST BE gods SUBJECT TO THE MOST HIGH GOD. Don't you think so too?!
# But who are these gods?
God had declared and decreed in verse 6 that ALL of His children are gods. Anything God says comes to pass, for nothing is impossible for Him (Read Gen 1). The I AM said we are all the children of the Most High God (Read John 21:5).
For God to bear this name on earth, there has to be gods in charge of the whole universe. The first god/king was Adam, who lost the authority to the devil. But, thank God for the second and last Adam, Christ Jesus, Who has redeemed us by His blood to become sons of God, a.k.a., the gods/kings of the whole earth!
# GOD and gods.
If all the gods of this whole universe, i.e., the children of the Most High God, are all actively doing what they ought to be doing, and not pursue after vain things, there won't be this many sorrows on the whole earth. Until we that are born of the Spirit of God come to realise who we really are, the world won't know peace.
Lion begat lions, and so are we gods on this earth like unto our Father God in heaven.

Condemnation.
[Condemnation means - To express strong disapproval of: to say in a strong and definite way that someone or something is bad or wrong.] And God is strongly saying to you to make a change from darkness to light; Unknown god to the Loving God; Evil to Truth.
(John 3:19-21) -
#19 "And THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." This light is the knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding of our loving God, and this light is Christ Jesus.
#20 "For EVERY ONE THAT DOETH EVIL HATETH THE LIGHT, neither cometh to the light, LEST his deeds should be reproved." There will always be a reason/s to hate someone or anything, but this shouldn't be Christ, Who is the light of the world. Light is a very strong force that right every wrong and thus purifies. You can't hate or dislike Christ/the Light and claim to be a good person. YOU ARE NOT A GOOD PERSON WITHOUT CHRIST.
#21 "But HE THAT DOETH TRUTH COMETH TO THE LIGHT, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." TRUTH ATTRACT LIGHT. The more the truth you know and do, the more the light that shines upon and through you (and the more the hate). When we acknowledge God's light, we experience and manifest God's Power and Glory. When God's light shines on and through us, we have become His true witnesses on this earth, and the world of evil will hate us. LOVE WORLD:- YOU CAN'T BE IN CHRIST AND STILL HATE YOUR FELLOW BELIEVERS IN CHRIST, and any among us that hate is ranked as a murderer (1 John 3:15).
Why We Can't Afford To Hate. [Do Not Be Deceived.]
Nothing (thoughts, intents or actions) is hidden before the Holy Spirit of God that communicate this to our spirits.
"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." (1Co 12:13).
Why then do some so-called Christians still so much CODED with hate? Equality is a big challenge to them. They are still very carnal(fleshly) and still very racist even within the same Body of Christ, but for how long? "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him...But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters." (1Jn 3:15, 1Pe 4:15). DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT HATE, CRIME, AND HATE CRIME IS ON THE RISE? IT'S BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE, BE NOT ANOTHER JUDAS, AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IN THE KINGDOM AND CHURCH OF GOD.
So therefore, let us be TRUE witnesses of Christ Jesus, the Great Light of the whole world. Radiate Christ/light and let Him shine brighter and brighter unto the perfect day! (Proverbs 4:18).

Thy Kingdom Come.
Many think this is saying the Last Day of judgement should come. Read Mat 6:9-13 because this prayer is meant to usher in unto the earth God's Provision, Forgiveness, and Protection. It is NOT about the end of the world, but the beginning of a new kingdom/world. Get into the kingdom today, acknowledging that Christ Jesus your LORD and Saviour, has fully paid the price by His Blood on your behalf, to begin to enjoy these wonderful packages (John 3:16).
# God is a Spirit, and so His kingdom in heaven is spiritual/unseen. The Earth is a physical place derived from the Heaven. The earth is an image of heaven, just like man is the image of God. The one is derived from the other. One is real, fixed and forever the same, the other an image, and subject to change in the course of time.
# The kingdom of Heaven belong to God, and that of this Earth has been re-claimed by Christ, our LORD, at His death and resurrection! Our LORD Jesus Christ brought the kingdom of God in Heaven to man, in exchange for that of the Earth.
Since the death and resurrection of our LORD, we that are within His kingdom are re-claiming EVERYTHING by the Power & Glory of the kingdom of heaven (binding and loosing), because we know and are fully persuaded that ..."The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." (Psa 24:1).
Very Important: The ONLY Way into the (spiritual) kingdom of God today and now, is still through Jesus Christ, and THERE REMAINS NO OTHER WAY.

The Omnipresent.
[Please note:- This is a very tough subject for all the carnally minded, while a blessing to all the spiritually minded.]
Even thou many claim to believe that God, Who is Spirit (John 4:24), is able to be present everywhere at the same time, still do not believe in His power of love to GIVE HIMSELF UP in Christ Jesus to be crucified. The entire process is termed the Trinity.
"For God SO LOVED the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (His Spirit)."
# This should make you cry if you fully understand what 'am trying so hard to explain. The earthly father-son relationship we have come to know of is nothing compared to this, for God Himself felt everything in Christ Jesus. He bore all of our grieves. "But He(God) was wounded for our transgressions, He(God) was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him(God); and with His(God) stripes we are healed." (Isa_53:5).
Inside of the Body of Jesus was/is the Heart pumping the Life of God, which is the Holy Spirit. The reproduction process that we know is just a "shadowy clue" of what really happened in John 3:16 : THE OMNIPRESENT GOD (SPIRIT) BY HIMSELF APPEARED(FORMED) AS ANOTHER IN AN (EARTHLY?) BODY.
# When it comes to Man-Body-Earth, the Omnipresent God became and appeared as the Man Jesus.
JESUS WAS/IS THE SPIRIT IN FLESH (the full manifestation), AND GOD IS THIS SPIRIT. THIS IS WHAT THE TRINITY IS SAYING. And may I say that every single visible appearance of the Invisible, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient God, in the old and new testament, is Christ our LORD GOD. Think hard on this.

The Secret.
# How much influence does the spirit (Heaven) have over the body (Earth)?
If every young man or woman pay utmost attention to the answer to this question, and seek out early the truth behind it, they (we) will be very strong and do exploits. Everything that is MADE or seen was first CREATED from the unseen. Therefore, things that are seen or made are temporal and subject to change, but things not seen or created are NOT subject to change or destruction, for they are eternal (2Cor 4:18).
# The eternal, heaven, unseen, or spirit RULES OVER the temporal, earth, physical, or body.
"GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24)... for the spirit is the life of the body. God was IN Christ RECONCILING the world to Himself; LEADING Christ about; SHOWING Christ all what to do and say; HEALING the sick and setting the oppressed free; Etc. God the Holy Spirit did ALL these through Christ, His Body (Heb 10:5).
# You can't give up all you have for this precious truth and still have lack of any good thing in life.
No wonder Christ said in Mat 6:33-34 to SEEK FIRST WITHOUT worry for tomorrow His Spirit (the Father and His Kingdom) and His Righteousness in order to live His "far above" kind of life. To the young men and women (Acts 2:17), it's NEVER a foolish decision to seek out the Truth early in life and not later. First find Christ and KNOW HIM personally and then build (or put) your Family, Career, Desires, Retirement?!, Policies and Politics, etc on Him. The enemy will surely come like a flood, but it's only the Spirit of Christ, that shall lift up a standard against him (Isa 59:19).

Change.
# Definitely, there is a change or transformation going on right now, and it depends on which side you're on.
"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, GOD GAVE THEM OVER to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" (Rom 1:28)
The battle for our minds, the gateway to our spirit (power), has greatly intensified, and MANY PEOPLE ARE CHANGING WITHOUT KNOWING. God alone determines everything, even the rising up and falling down of peoples and nations. God is giving up some people for our rising up this same year 2014!
# Keep your watch and pray that God's will be done anywhere you are positioned, and everywhere you go. Many of us believers will rise up high as many unbelievers will fall away, or many unbelievers will fall away as we rise up, whichever you choose. You must learn to know the Will of God in His Word to SEE areas that this change and exchange will be coming to you, because whatever you can't see, you can't have... (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2Co_5:7.
# This time of Change is the perfect time for our greatness, because many around us will loose it.
Some people around us are right now doing things that are NOT CONVENIENT, and this is enough sign for you to know what to do to take charge or over for Christ. LOOK, WATCH & PRAY for change. Take your time to thoroughly ponder, consider and reconsider every aspect of your life, and move on without fear. This time and year is the appointed time for our greatness.

Suicide.
# Why is it so much on the increase in America?
Have people forgotten that after death it's JUDGEMENT?! Why the mad rush to get out of this world? If life doesn't mean anything anymore, why kill yourself and others??
"The FEAR OF THE LORD is the beginning of WISDOM: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." (Pro 9:10).. We Christians have been assuming that most Americans have the wisdom not to take lives (theirs and that of others), and how very wrong have we been. Do we know that WITHOUT THIS WISDOM, THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD? It's a huge price for a nation to pay for not knowing anymore, because their Bibles have been taken away.
# Are people really aware of life after death?
To fear God is to know Him as the only Creator and just Judge, now and forever. DON'T RUSH INTO DAMNATION. WHATEVER IT IS, RUSH INSTEAD INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST. Wisdom is the principal thing in life to get for..."Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding" for "Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour." ( Prov 3:13, 16)
[Very Important:- Find a good bible TEACHING (not preaching) church, school, group, websites, CD's, etc, and be part of them to protect your mind. Don't be fooled, seek out wisdom at any cost, for it's your life (Prov 1:7). The Church has good teachers within, and good preachers without.]

Your Calling.
# Are you working hard towards your calling or assignment? and are your gift/s being moved by the fruit of the Spirit?
Based on your calling, you get to decide which part of the two worlds (heaven and earth) you want to stay. Many that are not functioning as they should here on earth, pursuing after wealth, fame, and power, might eventually need to go stay on the other side preserved till the end of time.
# Who or what exactly are you afraid of?
# Is the so much talk about the antiChrist and false Prophet making you afraid to trust God the more?
This is the best time to get to know God intimately. Why & How?! It is because "the Darkness" hovering over the people is so thick that even a very small light has great strength. " YE (WE) ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." (Mat 5:14). [Note that this light is the knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding of God that WE have (and not the natural light from the Sun, Moon, Stars), and functioning like them spiritually. Read Isa 60:1-3].
TO NOT BE AFRAID, YOU/I MUST BE "TOTALLY ABSORBED" IN THE WORD TO TURN-OFF EVERY EVIL REPORT. WITHOUT THE WORD ALREADY IN OUR HEARTS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY DEFENSE (PEACE) AGAINST FEAR. GOD'S PRESENCE WILL ALWAYS OVERWHELM OR OVERLOAD YOUR MIND WITH HIS MAGNIFICENCE AND SPLENDOR, AND THAT IS SAFETY!
Based on your calling, you get to decide which part of the two worlds (heaven and earth) you want to stay. Many that are not functioning as they should here on earth, pursuing after wealth, fame, and power, might eventually need to go stay on the other side preserved till the end of time.

Spiritual Fruits and Gifts.
Comparing Spiritual Fruits and Gifts.
"Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts,..." (1Co 14:1).
Many of us do not know the difference between spiritual fruits and gifts. Almost everyone (believers) seem to believe in reverse, that fruits are free and should be desired, while gifts are earned and should be followed after.
"And when the woman SAW that the (wrong) tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree TO BE DESIRED TO MAKE ONE WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." (Gen 3:6).
Adam and Eve failed this test and lost their authourity on earth to the tempter, the devil. Without the right kind of understanding, it's very easy for our knowledge to be twisted into "seeing in reverse". Every born again believer must follow after the Spirit of God in order to constantly produce fruits to give for the healing of the nations. Without fruits we are compared to a tree that is worthy to be chopped down and burn in the fire [Read John 15:1-6]. It is the fruits we produce that will heal the world around us.
Gifts attracts and quickly open and draw the hearts of the unbelieving into the fold, while fruits keep them whole within the fold. Charity is a wonderful fruit full of divine power to heal broken hearts and bind up wounds, and it never fails. Gal 5:22-23 list the 9 fruits of the Spirit that we are capable of producing in order to bond together within the Church, and also touch the outside world. Therefore, producing the fruit of the Spirit should be our primary goal, and gifts secondary. Fruits are eternal, while gifts are temporal. Whatever fruit we produce has tremendous tendency to multiply because of the seeds that is replanted.
Note: WE JUST DON'T DESIRE THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, WE MUST FOLLOW AFTER IT TO PRODUCE IT IN OUR LIVES AND OTHERS. GIFTS ARE TO BE DESIRED FOR THEY ARE FREE. OUR WALK WITH THE SPIRIT MUST BE EARNED, AND THE VERY REASON WE HAVE A STRONG DESIRE FOR THE FREE GIFTS/TOOLS.

Shadows.
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High SHALL ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW of the Almighty." (Psa 91:1)
Even thou this was in the old testament, it gives us the insight into what we have working for us believers in Christ. When there is a covering over something, underneath light it will cast its shadow upon it. Do you still remember the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:1-3?
"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind (the Cherubs), and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."
... and the Throne Room of judgement of the kingdom of heaven became our mark.
The secret place of the Most High on earth is wherever the Ark of the testimony is housed, that is, in the Most Holy place of the tabernacle. And on the Ark are two Cherubs covering the Mercy seat of Blood and of Judgement, with two of their wings spread up high, casting a shadow of covering over the Mercy seat and the room.
This is the setup of the kind of defence we have in Christ against the "Shadow of Death" cast over the unbelieving by the evil Cherub, the devil. Don't forget this - GOD DOES NOT NEED ANY PROTECTION FROM NOBODY OR THINGS CREATED OR NOT. WE ARE THE ONES THAT NEED THIS COVERING OF PROTECTION.
Are you protected?
To be protected, you must learn how to abide in the right place, and know Who is securing your safety. Who's covering are you under? The "Shadow of the Almighty" or the "Shadow of Death" (devil)? In the secret place of the Most High God is His covering (the Cherubs), and you must abide there to be protected and covered by His shadow (His Presence) without fail, forever.
Here's what the scriptures says about God's personality in Psalm 36:7;
"How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings."
When you have this understanding within your heart, there is absolutely nothing that can move you. You will always be blessed and be peaceful even in storms. You won't have need of anything nor beg for bread because there will always be a great conversion of wealth of the gentiles unto you! Always read Isaiah 60 and know that ... "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." We are preserved and reserved for greatness!

Barriers.
"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD." (Gal 5:16-17)
What is a Barrier? a fence or other OBSTACLE that prevents movement or access. It's a wall of separation.
Have you ever tried doing things your heart desires and your flesh won't comply? This is what is called paralysis, and it always when the MIND isn't able to communicate the desires of the HEART to the FLESH/BODY, and this is equally true when it comes to the temple of God, the Church.
At the heart of every temple (the Church) is the Most holy place (or the Holiest of all), and this is where the Spirit of God dwells. Whenever the mind is disconnected from the heart, the body suffers. We are the temple of God, we have the mind of Christ, and we are the body of Christ. Whenever there is a paralysis, it's always at the mind level.
"... For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh:" Where is this lust from? It's from the unrenewed mind. Those that believe they know everything and are the most holy.
"... and these are contrary the one to the other: so that YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD." Have you ever been faced with this conflict? Was it nice? How would you feel when everything you purpose to do from within your heart is being blocked by these so-called religious within the Church?
Should my givings and sharing of the Love of Christ in meeting the genuine needs of my fellow believers (neighbours) within the Church be within boundaries and limitations?!
"... For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER." (vs.13). Are we not suppose to walk in the Spirit and be moved by the needs of others?
Hypocrite! You are and don't yet know.
"For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building." (1 Co 3:9). We are co-labourers in the love, joy, peace, faith, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, meekness and temperance of Christ and His Spirit (Gal 5:22-23).
If we are together in this, why should you then be an obstacle of jealousy, envy, hatred and malice to your fellows? Can you see into the hearts of people, and why do you always stand in the way of those that want to serve?
"But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (Mat 23:13). ..
These hypocrites are within the Church (the outer court) and are never connected to the most holy and inner court. They are a blockage to people. They stand in the way and saddle people with rules and regulations of the sabbath instead of giving out the fruit of the Spirit. Every good you intend to do is evil thought of. They monitor your every move and report falsely against you. Is man made for the sabbath or sabbath for man?
"And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath." (Mar 2:27-28). The LORD and His lords does whatever pleases them (Him and us), because to give love pleases Him and it pleases us so much too.

END TIME: The Little Horn.
"I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three (Egypt, Libya, likely Syria) of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, BEHOLD, IN THIS HORN (authourity) WERE EYES LIKE THE EYES OF MAN ("Big Brother" type surveillance), and a mouth speaking great things." (Dan 7:8).
Who is this "Little Horn"?
"And of the ten horns that were in his (the Dragon) head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, WHOSE LOOK WAS MORE STOUT than his fellows." (vs.20).
[STOUT means dark, thick, and strong...just like the beer stout.]
Let's read on...
"I beheld, and THE SAME HORN MADE WAR WITH THE SAINTS (the Church), and PREVAILED AGAINST THEM; UNTIL THE ANCIENT OF DAYS CAME (the Risen Christ), and JUDGEMENT WAS GIVEN TO THE SAINTS of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom." (vs. 21-22)...
Why is he prevailing today? Because we still can't believe this is happening before our own very eyes. We need to get pass this quickly and move to Wisdom in tackling the enemy. THERE IS ONLY ONE CHURCH, THE REPRESENTATION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, ON WHOSE SHOULDER THE GOVERNMENT SHALL REST (Isa 9:6).
What then is he up to?
"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and SHALL WEAR OUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." (vs.25)
We should by now be beyond the identification and be in preparation mode in Love and Wisdom of Christ, lest we wear out too quickly. [Note : It is a must we read the book of Daniel 7 and Rev 12 & 13.]
You should know by now.
If you are a believer, these things shouldn't be a parable to you. Without naming names, the stage is set and irrespective of who appears on the stage, always follow the manuscript that they or whosoever are acting out. The bible is fixed on ALL matters, and the actors might change faces and costumes at any given moment, still NEVER LOOSE SIGHT OF THE SCRIPT (the prophecies).

Fire!
Fire! Very necessary.
"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:" (Mat 3:11).
Check yourself and know yourself. The Holy Spirit is the only true source of fire in all of creation in heaven, on and beneath the earth (Hell). This fire of the Holy Spirit is what we have been sealed with till the day of the LORD, and it's God's judgement. It's the divider of everything. Either you choose to pass through this fire and be born again or stay away from fire and still be burn by it. IT'S YOUR CHOICE THAT COUNTS.
Do you still remember the three wonderful sons of God and colleagues of Daniel: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the book of Daniel 3?
"He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, WALKING IN THE MIDST OF THE FIRE, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." (Dan 3:25).
So why is this fire (or trials) necessary? Please read on.
There is ONLY one source of fire, and it's the fire of the Holy Spirit. The sons of God and the holy angels all have the ability to walk through fire. If you can't walk through or you're not baptized with fire of the Holy Spirit, you need to. The devil was once able to walk through this fire, but can NEVER ever come an inch close to it anymore (Ezk 28:14). This fire of the Holy Spirit is what is now separating us from the devil forever.
1. Fire brings Judgement - purifies and consumes.
You can't be on fire and still have sin. Sin is like a chaff that is consumed in an instant by this fire. Every being and things in heaven are on fire of the Holy Spirit. If you don't have the Holy Spirit in you or be baptized in fire of the Holy Spirit, you can't stand this fire and won't be able to stand before God in heaven.
This fire is both spiritual and physical and you must be SEALED with it before crossing over (death). The most important part is the spiritual (the day of Pentecost), but the physical (the Trials) is necessary to live life on earth. Relevant trials will come for God to prove to you and the world that you have the Holy Spirit and can walk through fire that brings peace and takes away all fears.
"Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; WE WENT THROUGH FIRE AND THROUGH WATER (BAPTISMS): BUT THOU BROUGHTEST US OUT INTO A WEALTHY PLACE." (Psa 66:12). This is not wealth gained by deceit but by the Spirit of God. Trials are always mistaken for payment of sin, but it's not. It's a process and preparation for wealth and abundance, which many can't endure till the end.
[Note: the Holy Spirit is symbolized by fire, water, oil, wind, etc, and all these bring life through cleansing, purifying, purging, and in consuming chaffs/sins. You can't have the life of God without His Spirit, and you can't have the Spirit and not go through these processes.]

Peace, Be Still.
"And he (Jesus) arose, and REBUKED THE WIND, and SAID UNTO THE SEA, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and THERE WAS GREAT CALM." (Mar 4:39).
The LORD REBUKED the wind (spiritually unseen forces), and SAID unto the sea (the physical situation). Today, the presence of Jesus in and with us is dealing with every unseen forces, while we must deal with every seen situations with the words coming out of our mouths. SOMETIMES IF NOT MOST, YOU JUST HAVE TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM OR FIND YOURSELF THERE FOR JESUS IN AND WITH YOU TO CAUSE A GREAT CALM.
Any country, city, place or home you're in should experience this great calm from storms. "And into whatsoever house ye enter, FIRST SAY, Peace be to this house. And IF the SON OF PEACE be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again." (Luk 10:5-6).
Who is this son of peace? It's you and I following after Jesus! The LORD is always with us, NEVER to leave nor forsake us.
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:18)... and by/through His/the Holy Spirit He hasn't left yet, and will NEVER EVER leave, for we are all together His sanctuary. Therefore, we Go everywhere that is "deserving" of our peace, and we will find rest in the midst of storms. The LORD leads by peace (Luke 1:79). WITHOUT HIS PEACE, WE CAN'T FUNCTION.
The way of peace.
"Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." (Luke 1:78-79).
One of the fruit of the Spirit is Peace..."But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, PEACE,..." (Gal 5:22), and it must be from inside out. You MUST have peace in your heart and mind to cause it upon anything, even the devils must hold their peace for peace to reign (Luke 4:35). And this peace can only come through the Words (or Sword, the Spirit) of our LORD Jesus Christ (Mat 10:13). It's the LORD's presence that we carry around that rebuke storms. Wherever we step unto is already the LORD's and so we declare peace to be in that place. Peace is a fundamental requirement for eternal life anywhere and everywhere.
Isn't the gospel we preach and teach that of peace?
"Put on the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil..... And YOUR FEET shod with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; (Eph 6:11, 15). - {We do exceedingly great good for our world when through us the gospel is published everywhere.}
So therefore, IT IS A MUST WE FIND AND KNOW THE PRINCE OF PEACE that was born on Christmas day, and be armed and ready to tread on serpents and scorpions. The Prince of peace carries the Sword of His/the Spirit that rebuke every storm.
