Galatians 5:19-20 ''Now the works of the flesh (speech, chanting) are manifest, which

are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft

(magic, sorcery), hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies... 

Comment: 

All of these actions have one source, the heart of man. His created thoughts can be

influenced by his imagination that influences to then live out short lived stimulations by

deceiving oneself and those that engage in his deception trying to influence others.

Those that have the discernment from God walk away from any engagement with fools.

Galatians 5:21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I

tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Comment: 

Those that partake in those imaginations are referred to as spiritual drunkards,

destitute of the truth. They will distort God's truths to feel accepted because of an

inferiority complex and childhood neglect. They want to be heard to create value in

themselves. A child neglected will live out their imaginations to stay stimulated because

no one is there to control, correct and direct him or her. Those that live contrary to the

truths in life create instability.

Revelaion 9:21  Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries

(imaginations), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. 

Comment: 

To repent from these imagined actions would admit being wrong and how many

will admit they are being deceived by their own thoughts? It is an evil heart that needs

to be cleaned and renewed on a daily basis to be of any value to Mankind or God.

Revelation 18:23  And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the

voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy

merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries (imaginations) were all

nations deceived. 

Comment:

Because of lack of inspired thought that comes only from God to Mankind, imagined

thought has to come forth to deceive and lie to the people to keep them distract from

the truth that sets and keeps them free from the deceivers in life.

Genesis 6:5  And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 

Genesis 8:21  And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 

Deuteronomy 29:19  And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: 

Summary:

The imagination is part of the brain in Man, God's gift to Man. Now Man can stay self sufficient. The difference between the brain of an animal and Man is that Man can re-create and magnify this life for a more abundant life. Animals cannot. But Man still has to deal with death as do animals. 

It is only an ''Inspired Spirit'' put into Man that can transcend him into an eternal life. That Inspired Spirit is the Holy Spirit that is given to those that obey and stay faithful to our tangible HS in the Word of God.

One thing for sure. The knowledge and divine understanding all of this concept of the transformed life is way beyond us mere mortals. It takes a gifted faith from Above that can sustain us until we move into eternity                

                                        The Fast of the Lord...for Spiritual Living

Isa 58:1  Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 

Isa 58:2  Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my

ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. 

Isa 58:3  Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? werefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? 

Our Fast...

Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. 

Isa 58:4  Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. 

His fast...

Isa 58:5  Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? 

Isa 58:6  Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? 

Isa 58:7  Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 

Fruit of His fast...

Isa 58:8  Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD

shall be thy rereward. 

Isa 58:9  Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of

the finger, and speaking vanity; 

Isa 58:10  And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 

Isa 58:11  And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 

Isa 58:12  And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the

breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. 

Sabbath Day...

Isa 58:13  If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 

Isa 58:14  Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 

                                                             The Ultimate Goal

                                                   Noble and Devout Christianity

Revelation 17:14b ...and they that are with Him (Christ) are the called, chosen, and faithful. 

In this walk of faith in and by the Lord, we are called out of the mindset of world, chosen, then tried to see if we will stay faithful. Through this process we eventually die to ourselves, so the second death has no affect on us. It is God then that imparts to us His holiness by sanctification, that comes by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, to then be continually led and taught by Holy Spirit. (Revelation 2:11, 20:6, John 17:17, 1 John 2:27)

How many of us stay steadfast and grow into all that God wants us to become? How many of us become the noble and devoted ones to and by the One that saved us? How many of us keep our minds purged so our speech is of God? (John 15:3, Romans 12:1-2)  

                                                                          The Noble

The noble Christians of then and now are those that are totally sold out to the Lord. What does nobility look like according to the Scriptures?

1) God honors the noble. (Esther 6:9)

2) They are His seed, the children of the Kingdom of God. (Jeremiah 2:21)

3) The noble searched the Scriptures daily, enquiring of God, to prove out all things they heard were of God. (Acts 17:11)

4) The noble were His holy and wise men and women. (1 Corinthians 1:26)

                                                                     The Devout

Devotion to a person is like a marriage vow that cannot and will not be broken. To become a devout person to the Lord is a process that comes from a walk with God where we cleave unto Him with all of our being, KNOWING He has all control and we trust Him.

1) The devout are like soldiers that wait on the Lord's instruction continually. (Acts 10:7)

2) The devout were just and had the Holy Spirit rest upon them. (Luke 2:25)

3) The devout men wrote what the HS wanted to be said of any person. (Acts 8:2)

4) The devout reverenced God with all their houses. (Acts 10:7)

5) The devout gave alms, both physical and spiritual, to the poor in faith. (Acts 10:2)

6) The devout prayed unto God continually, to hear His voice. (Acts 10:2)

7) The devout endured persecution. (Acts 15:50)

8) The devout honored the law of God and were of good report. (Acts 22:12)

                                                            Summary

This calling out, to live out the holy and sanctified life, is about staying separated unto God and is paramount if we want to see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14) 

Many are called and few chosen to this inspired life that changes us into His image, to then change the world, giving opportunity to all in their lives, so that they too can become all that God wants them to become. (Matthew 22:14)

At the end of our lives, it would be a good thing to hear the Holy Spirit say to each of us, "Well done, good and faithful servant". (Matthew 25:23)

God's sons and daughters are like the jewels of His crown. How are we measuring up?

Malachi 3:16-18  Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another:

and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written

before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 

And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my

jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him. 

Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between

him that serves God and him that serves him not. 

How do we line up according to this standard? May the Lord keep us informed at all times!

                                                                      CHANGE

                                         Malachi_3:6a  "I am the LORD, I change not'';  

     Seasons change, years go by, man invents many things, create concepts and even religious orders. Changes are taking place faster than any other time in life. Information is pouring in like a flood. This information is permeating minds and controlling man's thinking. Either our minds have to change to adapt to the present system or one cannot function in one's work and get paid, to feed oneself. It is all about chasing after the money. God says we will either choose money or Him and His ways. 

     Yes, we go to the grocery stores and walk through our imagined gardens gathering food, processed with little nutrition or covered in pesticides. How many of us even know how to grow a garden? How many of us and our offspring could survive if the trucking system broke down in the country? Could we survive if we had to grow our own food? To whom would we turn? Would we just go into a survival mode and live off of old storage? When that is gone, then what? Would we have to take our guns out just to protect who and what we have? What if the water or sewer systems broke down for whatever reason? What about the electricity? 

     Watching and hearing what my parents had to endure through WW2 was like a surreal movie. My grandfather sold his farm and got bundles of money to live on. But a new government took over and the old money was worthless, reducing my family to beggars. They survived by going into the woods to find mushrooms and dig out bushes so they could eat the roots! How many of us would go and beg, house to house, to get some crusts of bread to feed starving children? My grandmother did that daily, for scraps of food in the Ukraine only 2 generations ago! 

     God and His ways have not and will not change! He is our navigator in life to get through this life! If He would change His character as our Holy Creator and Guide, then how could we trust Him? If His church keeps changing questionable doctrines, how can it be trusted? Yet we can embrace false doctrines and become puppets, being controlled by the leadership and not changing to become all God wants us to become.

     He gave us His simple commandments for our own good. If they work why would we change them for an imagined benefit? For example: Do we do ALL of what He says to do on our Sabbath days? Read Isaiah 58! How do we line up? Israel took the commandments lightly, chose wealth, and God drove them back into bondage.

     The only change that man is required to do is to turn from his thinking, turn and live unto the God of the Bible, embrace the ways of God and then renew his mind, daily, to become more like His Son. Either we do that or we fall into the deceptive trap of the world, a mindset that sounds and feels good but is not of God. How is this done?

Romans 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

     WE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE CALLED OUT TO CHANGE TO BECOME HOLY AS HE IS!

                                                   A NEW DAY...EVERY DAY!

The manifestation of thought is seen in one's actions. That is why one's body language, including the moving of the lips, can speak volumes.  

A person is not living in divine awareness of what goes on in their minds if they live reactive lives. A person can also speak what they might want to but their actions scream. Why are we not more

aware of our minds and the thoughts that are created within them, by our spirits? Are we in a spiritual sleep and don't know it? 

The Spirit from Above creates and can project thought just like our spirits can. It is up to us to regulate and subdue those thoughts by the Spirit/the Word of God, especially because the imagination can create scenarios based upon thought and turn them to good or bad.

According to our Creator, the spirit in us creates thought the same way our Creator also creates and speaks thoughts to us and for us. This is why our spirits have to stay subject to the Father of spirits, the Spirit of God, our Father...and really LIVE! 

Why not be guided and led by the ONE who are made us in His image? We have the choice to listen and do what His thoughts are or listen and obey our own thoughts. All we have to do is look back into our pasts and see how too many of our thoughts created scenarios that were not good for us or others.

It is ''inspired thought'' from Above that creates amazing things! All we have to do is look around us and see how man has progressed in life. Where did those thoughts come from? In my own life, ALL of the great things that happened in my life came from and unknown source, at that time, which now I know, was my Creator! 

In searching and studying our gifted thoughts from our Creator, the evidence is overwhelming that inspired thoughts are like seeds planted within us that grow into amazing scenarios and concepts. 

I cannot take credit for something that inspired me to do something great! If I do not give credit to God, I am stealing from God. Can a man rob God and get away with it? Could we be stealing intellectual property???

Is there a process we can live by that can create inspired days everyday? We must first be able to identify what thoughts are ours and what are not. This is the miracle of our Holy Bible. It discern for us what thoughts are of us, of others or of God.

Isaiah 55:8-9  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

                                Tale of Two Cities (a spirit is like a city)

Spirit of God vs. spirit of man...a parable of the double minded man

James_1:8 & 4:8a  A double minded man is unstable in all his ways...Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you...

To be a double minded man suggests that we are not sure within ourselves, whether to be partakers of the world and its pleasures or inquire unto God for His pleasures. It is a war within the mind that goes on for a lifetime because the world's pleasure's create instant gratification and God's pleasures take us into eternity which takes patience. This war can only be overcome by the renewing the mind...rewiring the brain by the inspired impartation of the written Word.

The world is full of sorrow at every turn. Even an event that brings happiness for a time fades away and sorrow sets in. Happiness is but for a moment, but the joy from Above sustains us on the path to everlasting joy which we all long for in our Heavenly home. We can get glimpses of joy within our Bibles, which create hope.

Drug abuse reforms the brain and creates confused thinking. Confusion then creates a fog and we wander to and fro with sorrow not knowing where we are going and what we are now to become. Eventually, this leads to a downward spiral into a bottomless pit of fear and depression where only God can save us from. We then cry out for mercy. He will be there for us to overcome our addictions. 

So what can we do as Christians?

2Co_5:11a  Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men:...

At best we can only persuade people to change for the better, to discern and turn from any of the tempting pleasures of this life. Those pleasures can be drugs, money, sex, food, drink, gambling, etc. What we yield ourselves to in this life becomes our master. We are now willing slaves in chains we provide. The chains come from our thoughts, choices and decisions. Like chain links we create, only God can break. We must be set us free from this world's thinking in us.

With drugs, we can only persuade. They might ask for solutions. If so, it is up to us to fast unto the Word of God and pray for His solutions. Two paths are usually revealed. The cause and effect of each one, is to get off of drugs God's way or the world's way. With God's way comes mercy and no shame. With the world come shame and humiliation...no mercy. We are to convey the 2 scenarios. The drug abuser has to think about it and make the choice. It has to be their choice!

                                                             An Ancient Riddle: 

*Why did God give us 10 fingers?

Psalms 139:14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well. 

Proverbs 7:2  Keep my commandments, and live; and

my law as the apple of thy eye. 

Proverbs 7:3  Bind them upon thy fingers, write them

upon the table of thy heart.

*Answer: 10 fingers/10 Commandments 

                                                     The Grand Awakening                                                             

Watch and Pray

Matthew 25:13  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 

Mark 13:37  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. 

Psalms 90:4  For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 

2Peter 3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 

1Peter 4:7  But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 

There are over 100 verses within our Holy Bible that speak of watching. The watchers were those awakened in any watch of the night to "read to hear" in their spirits the Word from the Lord. They then wrote down what the Spirit was speaking to them, their families or His people. 

There were "chosen ones" on this earth. They became messengers of God. Are you one of "the awakened"...a messenger and/or a watchmen? 

In times of old, the priests took turns watching, knowing that the Spirit of God would appear, in any watch. They would pray to be given fresh information from  God. Has God changed? 

Malachi 3:6 I am the Lord, I change not;

                                                         THE WATCHES

Old Testament Watches: 3-4 hour segments.

1st: 6PM-10PM. 2nd: 10PM-2AM. 3rd: 2AM-6AM.

New Testament Watches: 4-3 hour segments...after Christ appeared and walked the earth.

1st: 6PM-9PM, 2nd: 9PM-12AM. 3rd: 12AM-3AM. 4th: 3AM-6AM.

                                                            WATCH

The word "watch" has and can be interpreted many ways. The most used interpretation is to watch for the second coming or the appearance of the Lord. However, if we must allow the Holy Spirit to correlate and interpret itself as Paul said in 2Corinthians 13:1. 

We now see when the watches were, their functions and are our required roles if we are really His ''called out people'' that watch...His trumpets, His real time servants.

Most people have heard the term: "early to bed, early to rise...makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise". The quote was from Ben Franklin who was not known to be very spiritual. Yet, he was given much inspiration to do amazing things! He got his inspiration in the night, like most geniuses did, usually after midnight. God speaks to those He chooses. He is no respecter of persons. 

Proverbs 8:17 says: "those that seek me early, will find me". Early always meant in the wee hours of each morning. God met with Adam in the Garden in the evening or the wee hours of the

morning. 

He also kept appearing to His "Watchers" throughout the Bible. God has not changed! He keeps giving His genius gifts and solutions  to problems in life to mankind because He cares for Mankind and/also that He might dwell with us...Psalms 68:18. 

So, if you are being awakened in any watch or prompted by God in any hour of any day, remember to engage with the Spirit first within the Word of God. This will clear your mind to hear what the Spirit wants to speak to you and through you. Pray, write down and share it and live the enlightened life.

Mat 24:44  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son

of man comes. 

                                           Second Coming/Appearance/Watching

Luk 21:26  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 

Luk 21:27  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 

Luk 21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads (from sleep and watch); for your redemption draws nigh. 

Mat_25:13  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh (appear).

2Ti_4:1  I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 

2Ti_4:8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (manifestation). 

                                     Appearance of God in various forms

The Spirit of God and/or His angels/messengers appeared over and over to those He chose and for many reasons, as He saw fit. He is still appearing today to His sanctified (set apart) ones via His written Word and their continual prayers. He has not changed!

Tit_2:11  For the grace of God that brings salvation hath appeared to all men, 

Tit_3:4  But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 

Heb_9:26  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 

                                              LOVING HIS APPEARANCE (Coming)

2Ti_4:8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 

Tit_2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; 

"Dear Lord. Awaken ALL that You desire to become one with You forever. Amen.''
