James Part 4 2 of 2

The people will say as in Isaiah 14:16 is this the man that shook the earth, as remember there will also be a great earthquake when Satan comes to earth as in Revelation 6:12. Satan is God’s creation, an archangel as we read in Ezekiel 28 never born of woman in the flesh, that will deceive the world. As here the subject is the return of Christ and how we get back to Him. That day will not happen until two things happen. First we are warned don’t let any person, evil spirits as many are out there today as we see “the rapture” which the woman that received this vision Margaret McDonald said it was evil, used by two preachers to get more people in church in the 1800’s. This false teaching, which God’s Word is against as Ezekiel 13:20 states is still in use today! So that day cannot happen, as even they twist the first letter from God sent by Paul in I Thessalonians Chapter 4 they turn into a “fly away” or “rapture” and the reason why this second letter, or epistle was written right after it. That day cannot come until two things happen. The first is there will be a great apostacy, or the entire world will go against their religious belief. So if you are a Christian you end up worshipping Satan for you will have listened to men’s traditions not to The Word of God! Then the second thing, is that the son of perdition, meaning the son in God’s Word sentenced to perish, or be fully destroyed. We just went through that Satan’s name in both Hebrew and Greek mean to be fully destroyed. Also, in Ezekiel Chapter 28:18-19 Satan will be burned from ashes from within, then be no more, or fully destroyed. And lastly, in Revelation 20:10 the devil will be cast into the lake of fire, or God’s consuming fire. No other son by name is sentenced in God’s Word, other than the fallen angels that come with Satan as here, however, they are all unnamed:

Jude :6 “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”
men (Strong’s 444) man-faced, i.e. human being; (the countenance, from Strong’s 3700) to gaze (i.e. with open eyes, as at something remarkable; appear, look, show self); (from Strong’s 435) a man (properly an individual male), fellow, husband, sir.

These fallen angels of Genesis 6 that instead of being born innocent, took the daughters of men, or Adam, as they went after that woman’s Seed, Jesus, who would come from Adam’s family. Then they are already judged, and here they perish at Jesus’s return Who comes after Satan:

Revelation 11:13 “And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.”

Their roles will then end at the end of this flesh age, and only Satan reserved to be used at the end of the Lord’s Day, to re-test the many as the sand of the sea, who will be deceived by Satan as Revelation 20:7-9 states. Then we have power over all enemies as God’s Word tells us here. The seventy representing God’s elect, those 7000 of Israel that would not bow a knee to Baal, meaning Satan as in I Kings 19:18 here:

Luke 10:17 “And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name.”
Luke 10:18 “And He said unto them, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”
Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Luke 10:20 “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

Satan falls to earth literally as remember there are two tribulations. First Satan then Jesus as in Revelation 6:12. We have power over all enemies, the serpent and scorpion listed showing us these roles of Satan. Then Jesus tells them to rejoice as their names are already written, they are already judged at the end of the first earth age as they fought with God against Satan. Then let’s go here remember in James 4:4 to be a friend of this world is to be a friend of Satan, or putting more value in this world here:

John 15:28 “Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I.”
John 15:29 “And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.”
John 15:30 “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me.”

Then Jesus at this time saying the first advent would happen, Jesus was crucified for all our sins, making Genesis 3:15 the first half happen when Satan by the hand of his children, the sons of Cain, the Kenites, murdered Jesus through crucifixion. Then God is Just, as HE is Justified, to then in Revelation 20:10 to destroy Satan, also his son, as this is what Satan did murdering Jesus as Son of Man in the flesh. God is fair in all things. Then the prince of the world will come in our very near future, as we are in that last generation. Then at the second advent, when Christ returns:

John 16:8 “And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:”
John 16:9 “Of sin, because they believe not on Me;”
John 16:10 “Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more;”
John 16:11 “Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”
John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

Jesus then saying that He then came first, giving each soul the opportunity for salvation so that all have the chance for the eternity. Jesus even going back to the people up to Noah’s time here:

Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:”
I Peter 3:19 “By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison.”
I Peter 3:20 “Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waiting in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”

So when Jesus was in the tomb for three and one half days, HE preached to the spirits, or those people all the way back to Noah’s time giving each person the opportunity for God is fair to all His children as He loves them. Just as we came after Jesus was crucified and resurrected, back to Noah’s time up to before Jesus was born. So all those people had a fair chance, just like we do today to accept the Word of God and the fact that Jesus, as Saviour, died for our sins giving us the opportunity for eternal life. Then Jesus did go to Heavenly Father in John 16:10, but His Holy Spirit, the Comforter is with us today. We feel Him when we pray and talk to Heavenly Father and when we study and learn the Word of God. Ask for His help as He is there always for you and loves you. Then the prince of this world will be judged, Satan, as this world age has to happen, then we have one thousand more years of the Lord’s Day. Today that ark is Jesus, as He is the Word of God as Revelation 19:13 states, so get into the Ark of the Word of God, for a flood is coming on this earth very soon. Then let’s go here Matthew 24, same subject as Mark 13 and Luke 21, the return of the Lord and the end of this world, the age or the Messianic period as here:

Matthew 24:1 “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and His disciples came to Him for to shew Him the buildings of the temple.”
Matthew 24:2 “And Jesus said unto them, “See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
Matthew 24:3 “And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of Thy coming and of the end of the world?”
Matthew 24:37 “But as the days of Noe were so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
Matthew 24:38 “For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,”
Matthew 24:39 “And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be,”
world (Strong’s 165) properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) A Messianic period (present or future).

Again, not one stone will be left standing as Satan will have set up his temple at the mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Then Jesus says that it will be just like Noah’s time. The fallen angels giving and taking in marriage. Then when the flood came, the people had not a clue what was going on. They will think Satan is Jesus and the flood that comes out of their mouths are the lies and deception:

Revelation 12:15 “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.”
Revelation 12:16 “And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.”
Revelation 12:17 “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
earth (Strong’s 1093 soil, a region, , land, ground.

The serpent, Satan, will deceive through his mouth, remember he comes in peaceably as Daniel 11:22 states and he wins the people over with flatteries, telling them whatever they want to hear. Like “you’ll fly away so you don’ t need to understand God’s Word” and so forth. Then the earth, God’s election as we are in the flesh which comes from the earth, when they are delivered up to those synagogues and councils of Satan for the testimony of God’s Holy Spirit speaking through them as in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. The dragon, Satan, is at war with the woman, Israel or God’s people, remember the many-membered Bride, those with free will, and the Wife, those already judged or the elect of Revelation 19:7-8. How do you fight against Satan? As the Word says in Revelation 12:17. Those, the remnant or elect, that keep the commandment of God, The Old Testament, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, The New Testament. We need all of God’s Word so we can understand His plan and why wouldn’t you want as much armor as you can get to withstand Satan! Let’s go on:

James 4:5 “Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, “The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?”
James 4:6 “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

The flesh man will lust for things of this world, but God is very merciful when we go to Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus and sin no more. Repent and ask for His forgiveness with a sincere mind, He knows what you are thinking anyway. But show God the respect that you know He is there and what you did, and move on with life. Don’t dwell on it, showing that you believe that Jesus’s blood is good enough to cover your sins, even though you think that you are too good you cannot forgive yourself! James is quoting from:

Proverbs 3:34 “Surely He scorneth the scourners: But he giveth grace unto the lowly.”

Again, always asking in Jesus’ name and be very real with God as He created our very souls and knows us well! Then let’s go on:

James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
resist (Strong’s 436) to stand against, i.e. oppose, withstand.

If we put God first and focus on His Word we are submitting to Him and loving Him. Spend some time with Him and enjoy His company! To resist the devil is to get not so caught up in things of this flesh life that will soon pass away. We all have our obligations, but don’t let the devil bring you down! Then let’s see how the devil here is constantly after Jesus way back here, yes, in the Old Testament:

Zechariah 3:1 "And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him."

Joshua, one spelling of Jesus in English, or Jeshua, meaning Jehovah’s Saviour. He is the High Priest before the angel of the LORD, right at God’s throne as we know Jesus is on the right side. Satan then trying to resist, meaning to stand against Jesus! This is what Satan did in the first earth rebelling against God and Satan thought he could be as God deceiving one third of God’s people with him! That’s why we are to put on all of God’s Word, not parts of it, but all because as here:

Ephesians 6:11 “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
armour (Strong’s 3833) full armor (“panoply” or full suit of armor, protective cover or ceremonial attire); (from Strong’s 3956) all, any, every, the whole, and (from Strong’s 3696) an implement or utensil or tool (especially offensive for war).
wiles (Strong’s 3180) travelling over, travesty or ridicule (trickery), lie in wait;
wrestle (Strong’s 2076) he, she or it, and (Strong’s 3823) (to vibrate; another form for Strong’s 906), to throw, strike or thrust; wrestling
principalities (Strong’s 746) (a commencement, or chief, corner, magistrate, principality, rule. (From Strong’s 756) (through the implication of precedence) to commence (in order of time);
powers (Strong’s 1849) privilege, i.e. force, capacity, competency, mastery, superhuman, potentate or one who wields great power, token of control, influence.
high places (Strong’s 2032) above the sky, celestial, heavenly, (from Strong’s 1909) superimposition, of direction, and (from Strong’s 3772) (through the idea of elevation) the sky, happiness, power, eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity);

We are at war with Satan and he and the fallen angels will come in person to earth and this is how we withstand them. The wiles of the devil, always through religion and through churches. We wrestle not with flesh people, but with principalities or those in heaven, and the ruler of darkness behind the scenes is Satan. He is in heaven, the high place, right now held in chains by Michael at God’s command as Revelation 12:7-9. Then let’s go on as this is just like if we go to war we better have a weapon, lots of ammunition and protection:

Ephesians 6:13 “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
Ephesians 6:14 “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;”
Ephesians 6:15 “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;”
Ephesians 6:16 “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
Ephesians 6:17 “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
Ephesians 6:18 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints,”
day (Strong’s 2250) (to sit; akin to base Strong’s 1476) meaning tame, i.e. gentle; day, ie. the time space between dawn and dark, or the whole 24 hours; figurative a period.

We need it for that evil day, meaning a period of time. Guess what? It will happen in our last generation of the fig tree as we read in Mark 13:28. Keeping our loins girt, so we are not caught with our pants down spiritually, as Satan will seduce the world with his deception to “fly” them all away or “rapture” them out! We need to stand – not to fly away, as again God is against those that teach His people to fly as in Ezekiel 13:20! Then having our feet prepared, so God can move us around doing His will, prepared with the gospel of peace, God’s Word. Always being peaceful, following all laws so then you are covered by those laws. Taking over our head the salvation through the Lord Jesus. The sword of the Lord is the Word of God as Revelation 19:15, cutting both ways! That is our weapon, so know it with understanding so you can help so many loved ones, friends and family members who have not been taught nor have a clue about the Word of God. Always pray especially for the saints, those that will withstand Satan, when God’s elect are delivered to those synagogues of Satan and councils as in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Then let’s see by Michael’s example how to handle Satan:

Jude :9 “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, “The LORD rebuke thee.”

Michael says the Lord rebukes you! That’s it – don’t argue with him, for remember is wiser than Daniel as Ezekiel 28:2, created the full pattern, and an archangel that covered or protected God’s throne we read in Ezekiel 28. Then going on:

James 4:8 “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”
James 4:9 “Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.”
James 4:10 “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.”

Stick close to God’s Word and He is right there with you, through His Holy Spirit. That is especially when the Lord is closest to us, again, for the purpose of helping us understand His Word so then we can share with others. There is always a purpose with God as He never wastes time. Remember repent, and do so often, then sin no more. Not saying there is a license to sin, but being free from this world as in the flesh we will sin one time or another, as hard as we try not to. Always put God first, respecting Him and He will always lift you up, to a higher understanding of His Word. Put on His yoke, meaning His Word and let Him guide you as here:

Matthew 11:28 “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden.”
Matthew 11:29 “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto you souls.”
Matthew 11:30 “For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Just as an oxen to pull the load, put Jesus over your life and things are so much easier. There will still be rocks in the road, but He takes out the boulders! We have to do our part, take the little book, The Word of God, and try to understand. Jesus comes down to our level, then brings us up. Then let’s go on:

James 4:11 “Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.”
James 4:12 “There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?”

Lift each other up, not negativity and cutting each other down. That’s the work of Satan. Let God’s Word judge us all for only He is Judge. Remember though use common sense, never letting another brother or person take advantage of you, especially as you are a believer, but be wise. Then as here:

Psalms 50:1 “(A Psalm of Asaph.) The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.”
Psalms 50:6 “And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: For God is judge Himself. Selah.”

The LORD is our Judge and is the only One right, as our sins we are then made right by His own righteousness, not ours! Then as here:

Psalms 75:1 “(A Psalm or Song of Asaph.) Unto Thee, O God, do we give thanks, Unto Thee do we give thanks: for that Thy name is near Thy wondrous works declare.”
Psalms 75:7 “But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.”

Let’s thank Heavenly Father in the Name of Jesus Christ for His Word. He has blessed us with so much beauty in this world. God is again the Judge of all, and He puts people to where He wants them. Not man, as we saw with the Sadduccees, Pharisees and scribes against Jesus. Then let’s go on:

James 4:13 “Go to now, ye that say, “To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:”
James 4:14 “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

God is against people that are in it for the money. As here the subject is false teachers or preachers and prophets, here:

Ezekiel 13:10 “Because, even because they have seduced My People, saying, ‘Peace;’ and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:”
Ezekiel 13:18 “And say, ‘Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the (women) that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls alive (that come) unto (you)?”
Ezekiel 13:19 “And will ye pollute Me among My People for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to My People that hear your lies?”
Ezekiel 13:20 “Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; ‘Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.”

Satan will seduce by saying he has come in peace or bringing world peace. These false teachers that build up these walls with holes in them with the “rapture” are making it very easy for Satan to come in and seduce them into believing he is Jesus as that is all they teach. They even teach that the book of Revelation is not needed, as you’ll “fly away”!. God is saying watch out! to these fakes that cover up the upward stretched arms of His children and cover up right at the head of their stature, their religion or church, The Word of God. They hunt down souls alive for the money! They are in it for the “bread” or the “dough” we would say today! God then says that HE will rip off those cover-ups like the “fly away” or “rapture” that they teach when Jesus returns after Satan, for this is how Satan will deceive lots of Christians as this is taught so widespread in churches today. Then let’s go here and see how Jesus, Himself, handled rip-offs in His house:

John 2:13 “And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,”
John 2:14 “And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changes of money sitting:”
John 2:15 “And when He had made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;”
John 2:16 “And said unto them that sold doves, “Take these things hence; make not My Father’s house an house of merchandise.”
John 2:17 “And His disciples remembered that it was written, “The zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up.”

Right on the passover day these moneychangers, those religious people in it for the money ripped off people who were supposed to sacrifice the best of their flocks and bring them to the Lord! They made a big profit on the people! Jesus makes a whip or a cat of nine tails driving them out of His Father’s temple, these fakes! Jesus is not a wimp as so many churches water down the truth of His Word as we see here! He teaches and commands with authority – getting rid of these, and by their actions we know them, these sons of Cain’s or Kenites, mixing in with Judah, or the Jews, and making profits from the Word of God and the people’s ignorance! That’s what going on today in the religions and churches that do not teach the Word of God. Then as quoting quoted from here:

Psalms 69:1 “(A Psalm of David.) Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.”
Psalms 69:9 “For the zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon me.”

This was written thousands of years before and this happened and evidenced when Jesus did this in the Lord’s temple. Then let’s go on:

James 4:15 “For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”
James 4:16 “But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.”
boastings (Strong’s 212) brag, self-confidence, boasting, pride; (from Strong’s 213) braggart, boaster.

We don’t know anything, but all wisdom comes from Almighty God and when we respect Him and love Him as here:

Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

So if we humble ourselves, who we are the creation of God for His pleasure as Revelation 4:11, who are we to boast about what we know! That is evil and how Satan fell and became full of himself, and deceived one third of God’s people, through his arrogance and pride, thinking he was somebody! Then let’s go here:

II John 2:15 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
II John 2:16 “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
II John 2:17 “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
I John 2:18 “Little children it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”
I John 2:19 “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.”
I John 2:20 “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.”
I John 2:21 “I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.”
I John 2:22 “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”
pride (Strong’s 212) brag, self-confidence, boasting, pride; (from Strong’s 213) braggart, boaster.
antichrist (Strong’s 500) an opponent of the Messiah; (from Strong’s 473) opposite, i.e. instead or because of , and (from Strong’s 5547) anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet or descriptive word, of Jesus Christ; (from Strong’s 5548) to smear or rub with oil, i.e. (by implication) to consecrate to an office or religious service, anoint.

If we are so caught up in getting ahead in this world, not putting God’s first we have a bitter end just as son of perdition, Satan, does. He will perish and be fully destroyed as we read. If we love God and His Word we are with Him, yes knowing how to get along in this world always using common sense and wisdom, but not focused on it. Then in the last time, the end times in which we are in today Mark 13:28 told us the generation of the fig tree. Then there are many antichrists, meaning bringing something other than Christ out there. It’s no wonder but we need to know they did not come from God as we have one Holy One, Jesus, and the Word of God is His name as Revelation 19:13. Then if someone denies, Jesus, The Word of God, they are against Christ. Satan will be that final antichrist, meaning instead of Christ. He will look exactly as Jesus appearing to be Christ, but he is rather disguised:

II Corinthians 11:13 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.”
II Corinthians 11:14 “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
II Corinthians 11:15 “Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
transformed (Strong’s 3345) to transfigure or disguise; figuratively to apply (by accommodation); (from Strong’s 3326) accompaniment, amid, proximity, and from (derivative of Strong’s 4976) a figure, condition, external condition.

These false teachers are disguised into religious roles. Then it’s no wonder why it’s going on today in our churches and religions. The reason is that Satan, himself, is disguised as an angel of light as we read in Revelation 13:11 looking just like the Lamb of God or Jesus! The world today will easily be deceived! Then let’s go on:

James 4:17 “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

As we learned here in:

James 3:1 “My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.”

What is to do good is know it by going to not my words, or any persons, or religion, or church doctrine, but to the Source! Go to the Word of God and find out for yourself! We need to see what God says about something, not man. Let God be our Master as He is our Creator, and mostly He is our Heavenly Father and loves us. Ask that HE open your eyes and stick with His Word! I love you, too. Keep trying!

Thank you dear God for your Word!

Love,

Mindy

At His Service,
