Book of Colossians

This Book of Colossians [written while Paul was in prison] holds a remarkable resemblance to the Book of Ephesians in that they bring forth and teach of the union we are to have with our Lord Jesus Christ who gave up His flesh on the cross for our sins, defeating death, who is satan. Hebrews 2:14 says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” Therefore, when we are alive in Christ who is our All in All, there is death to the flesh [spiritually speaking] because Christ replaces all those ceremonies, doctrines, rituals and traditions, those churchianity things which are a part of mankind. When our Lord is accepted wherein you move to a higher plateau of christianity spiritually, you are not as those steeped in the ceremonial wherein they are searching for Christ Jesus or do not believe in Christ, but you are of all who know Christ Jesus is with us. In understanding these things you know that the ministry of Christ is the one and only true spiritual leadership. When Christ was with mankind within this world, being our Living Word, He was fulfilling those things of the law, not doing away with it. Matthew 5:17 & 18 says, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” The law has not changed and shall never change; however ordinances, rites [rituals] and blood sacrifices, which were established by Father God before Christ as a provision for sin, was done away with by the Blood of the Lamb slain, who is Jesus Christ and now by faith and repentance our Father forgives our sins through His Son. Hebrews 10:8 says, “Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law;” Father did not, does not want animals and sacrifices, He wanted and wants love [Psalms 40:6 – 8]. Hebrews 10:9 says, “Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.” Father took “away the first [blood ordinances and sacrifices]” when Christ Jesus was crucified on the cross, “establishing the second {Christ Jesus}.” Hebrews 10:10 says, “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].” There is no longer a need for ordinances since this was fulfilled by our Lord Jesus Christ when He was sacrificed on the cross, paying the price for sins once and all times. Therefore, it is blasphemous to participate in any type of foolishness within churches that are akin to ceremonies or customs. This is why it is so important to understand the difference between the laws {not changed} and ordinances [ceremonies {rituals}, done away with].

Colossians – Chapter 1

Colossians 1:1 says, “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus [our] brother,” “Paul” means “small or little [Saul/desired]” and “he wrote a good part of the New Testament.” “Apostle” means “a delegate, messenger, one sent forth with orders, by the will of Father God [for Christ].” “The will of God” is something all who love Father should be very concerned about because this is your prayers and service to Father; that all things are according to what His will is for you which comes from studying the Holy Bible. Our Father is all encompassing as He loves all of His children, wanting nothing but the best for His creation and the desire for all to be a part of His overall plan which requires discipline, obedience and most of all love for Almighty God. Paul lost his free will on the road to Damascus when Father God interceded into his life since his destiny was to be a part of the fulfillment of Father’s plan. As zealous as Paul was before his conversion, he was even more devoted and spirited for our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Living Word. “Timotheus” is “Timothy” whose name means “honouring God.”

Colossians 1:2 says, “To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” This is the greeting to “the saints” who are “the set aside ones, Father’s elect, chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age” and are still pleasing Almighty God, living, doing, bringing Him pleasure as they do things according to His will, following the path of Christ Jesus. This is a message to those who are “in Christ.” “Grace” is “of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues – unmerited favor.” “Colosse” means “monstrosities [perversion, regression].” Within the New Testament of the Holy Bible, there are many conditions which you must have knowledge of because this is where blessings flow from and how you become as the very elect of Father. How great a blessing to know the events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Knowing these things is pleasing to Father and also documents that you are living within His will which puts you under the veil of His protection.

Colossians 1:3 says, “We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,” Paul, by the grace of Father God had established many churches within his ministry and seeing them as his spiritual children, he showed compassion, love and prayed faithfully for them in their discipline to Father and His Son. Paul brought forth our Living Word, causing love to flow like honey between Father’s children and Jesus Christ. This is that compassion and love which is always present in those who truly believe and love our Father. It is magnificent because love is immeasurable being the compassion of our LORD which flows from His heart to our own.

Colossians 1:4 says, “Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the saints,” “Faith” is “a strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God.” “Love” is “brotherly love, affection, good will, benevolence”, for it is loyal and powerful and flows among those who are true to our Lord wherein you help one another stay faithful. The teachings of Christ Jesus by Father’s very elect brings forth blessings, charity and peace of mind because it keeps you within and under the will of our LORD. It is that contentment felt within your spirit when you commune with those who believe in those things one cannot see, feel and touch, for this is the generation of faith.

Colossians 1:5 says, “For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;” “Hope” is “joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation in He who is its foundation, Christ Jesus.” “Laid up for you in heaven” is being with Father God in the Eternal Age because of loving, being obedient and following His instructions as we now live in the flesh [I Peter 1:3 - 5] and receiving the inheritance because of this loyalty. Father God has an inheritance stored up in Heaven for all of His children who are now or come to be under His will as we live within the flesh. Father God’s Word was known in the First Earth Age and was perfect until satan stepped up and rebelled, many losing their way. Through Christ Jesus who is our Salvation, you can now get back on the path of truth and be a part of that which Father God stores in Heaven for His children who are under His will.

Colossians 1:6 says, “Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth:” Hearing this beautiful gospel in this Age we now live in, being the Second Earth Age, recognizing that “truth” which sets you free, those seeds can be planted throughout all the world to bring “forth fruit.” Those with eyes to see and ears to hear will be set free by the Truth of Father’s Word, which brings freedom through our Lord Jesus Christ from that which is evil. That peace makes you feel so good, you just cannot help wanting to plant seeds wherever you can to see them blossom by Father’s increase. His love, grace and unmerited favor will cause those who seek truth to respond favorably to our LORD. There is only one thing you have to do and that is “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us [I Corinthians 5:7].

Colossians 1:7 says, “As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;” “Epaphras” which means “lovely”, established churches and carried forth the Word of Almighty God as the very elect of this generation are supposed to do. It is not a building that makes up the many membered body of Christ, but His Word within the minds of His children. Just as Paul is teaching in love, once the Word is absorbed within your heart and mind, spread this truth that it may bring forth fruit and draw others unto Christ.

Colossians 1:8 says, “Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.” Understanding the depths of Father’s Truths, which comes about from Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse study, always brings about “love in the Spirit.” It frees those caught up in the churchosity, doctrines and traditions, those ordinances Christ freed us from when He gave of Himself on the cross. The Holy Spirit is the comfort our Lord left for us until His returns as is taught in John 16:7 which says, “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” It is the Holy Spirit that opens your mind to receive the Truths of Father’s Word wherein you are blessed with understanding. This is how great Father’s love is for us, to bless all with His Spirit until our Lord returns to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” However, it does not just pop into our mind, you must earn this comfort by studying Father’s Word with prayer, having “love in the Spirit”, which gives you discernment into “what saith our LORD.”

Colossians 1:9 says, “For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;” “Be filled with the knowledge” means “to understand the Plan of Father God.” This wisdom comes from Father as is written in Proverbs – Chapter 1. You must understand there was an Age before this Flesh or Second Earth Age we now live in; why we were born from above; that there are two Christ Jesus’/christ jesus’ returning to this earth, and that knowledge can only come from studying the Word of Father God, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, praying for the increase of understanding only our LORD can give you that you are “under His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding”, which means the doctrines and traditions of man will have no affect on you. This obedience and discipline comes from having true love for Father and with study and prayer for understanding, knowing Father will not hold back His Truths from you if you are patient and continue within His Word until that truth unfolds within your heart and mind.

Colossians 1:10 says, “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;” When you receive knowledge and truth from Father God, do not hold on to it selfishly or hide it under a bushel, share that same truth through seed planting to whomever will hear and receive it, which is “being fruitful.” This is how mankind is brought into the family of Father God, being a part of the many membered Body of Christ Jesus. There is a lot of false teachings throughout the whole earth and it is up to the very elect of Father to spread His Truths to combat those lies and false doctrines being spread from those who have no wisdom in our Father’s Word. When you do these things, starting with yourself, this shows Father how much you love him. Get out of the world and into faithful study since the world cannot save your soul, only Father God can. Also remember that once you have planted a seed of truth, move on since that person has heard it, and if they turn away from it, you have served Father, doing that which He requires. It is up to each individual to ask, seek and knock for the increase only our LORD can give. When you are faithful Father will see to it that you are in the presence of those with like minds, the very elect, whom you can share and learn with daily.

Colossians 1:11 says, “Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;” Patience is a virtue that many of us lack which will cause you to not be fruitful in the spreading of Father’s gospel, as well as for those receiving a seed of truth not waiting for that understanding with patience through continuous prayer and study. II Peter 3:9 teaches of the longsuffering {patience} of Father God toward His children that none shall be lost. It is imperative that those knowing and understanding truth wait “joyfully” for our LORD giving all of mankind the opportunity to come unto understanding which will come to them when Father says so through their prayers and study. So continue to be a doer of Father’s Word that you are “strengthened {studying, understanding and sharing} with all might under the glorious power of Almighty God, waiting patiently and with a joyful heart, for as many as will to come to that same understanding.”

Colossians 1:12 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:” “Light” means “inheriting truth and understanding/knowledge who is our Living Word, Christ Jesus.” Having this truth dispels darkness which is satan’s babble and confusion. John 8:12 says, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” “Jesus Christ” is our “Living Word” and when you are standing upon His Truths that Light reflects certainty and knowledge to all with eyes to see and ears to hear, satan no longer tempting to them. In fact, satan is such an abomination, when you love Father God, you should be driven deeper into His Word of Truth so you become a part of the inheritance as the very elect {saints} and separate yourself from the babble and confusion of this world joyfully. Claim your eternal inheritance by being under the will of Father God now. Romans 8:17 says, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together.” Make the right choice and walk in the “Light of Christ Jesus who is our Living Word {Holy Bible}.”

Colossians 1:13 says, “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:” “Translated” means “remove from one place to another.” This happens when you leave the babble and confusion of the worldly churches with their hallelujah corners and theatrics, and walk into the “Light {Christ Jesus} of understanding Father’s Word, coming under His will and being a part of His Perfect Plan.” Christ Jesus is our “King of kings and Lord of lords” and the whole world is “His dominion.” When you are a part of our Lord’s family then there is a place there for you as well since you are a part of the “kingdom of His dear Son {Christ Jesus}”, for this is your inheritance within the Eternal Age for your good works as you now live upon the earth.

Colossians 1:14 says, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:” “Redemption” means “deliverance – released by the crucifixion of Christ on the cross.” Because of this, when you repent of sins before the Throne of Father God in the Name of Christ Jesus, from a pure heart, Father’s grace and mercy cleanses, washes away your sins since He forgives you. With this forgiveness Father does not want to hear about those sins forgiven anymore which means it is necessary to forgive yourself as well. Our LORD wants you to live and do better this day than you did the previous day, loving Him and studying His Word so you are a reflection of the Light, who is Christ Jesus, remembering He paid the price for you to begin anew.

Colossians 1:15 says, “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:” Christ Jesus was here before Father God created any other as our Lord taught in John – Chapter 14 {9 & 10}, that “if you have seen the Son you have seen the Father because I and My Father are One.” Father God said in Genesis – Chapter 1 “Let us make man in ‘our image’, after ‘our likeness’, Father speaking of Himself and His Son” who would be born from above and walk with mankind as is taught in Isaiah – Chapter 7 {14}, speaking of Christ Jesus, “Immanuel/ Emmanuel” which means “God with us.” Father is our “invisible God” because He is in another dimension and Christ Jesus, having been born from above with a flesh body as you and I, was in this dimension and those who lived as Christ walked the earth; saw Him. Father God is Christ Jesus who was born from above to be crucified because “He is Perfect” for our sins and to show us what is necessary and how to walk in the flesh ourselves that we should, at our appointed time, be with Father God for all of Eternity. The “Holy Bible is our Living Word who is Christ Jesus and it became flesh” and walked with mankind. What greater love could Father God give His children than to be born through His Son and sacrifice Himself on the cross for our sins, defeating death who is satan.

Colossians 1:16 says, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” All things of this Flesh or Second Earth Age we now live in, as well as all things in the Spiritual dimension {heaven} in which Father God, Christ Jesus, the angels, satan and his entourage, and all those souls who were born from above and have passed away returning to Father God, seen and unseen, were created by our LORD God Almighty and Him alone. Revelation 4:11 says, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Father God created His children to be born in the flesh and He Himself did likewise. The only difference is that our flesh sins and our LORD is “Perfect.” Father God, our Parent, made that way clear where through love, accepting/believing in our Lord Jesus Christ all can seek repentance for our sins and be saved since that is the only way we can be pleasing to our Father. All of Heaven and earth belong to Father God, including you.

Colossians 1:17 says, “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” Christ Jesus walked amongst mankind showing us the way, the path, the truth to the “Light”, so we are without excuse. This is how much Father God loves all of His children. Truth is there for any who will reach for it, seeking, asking and knocking, turning away from the things of the world and coming to the outstretched arms of Father God Almighty to whom we owe all things great and small. Father did not have to create this earth for us to pass through after the rebellion [Ezekiel – Chapter 28] in the First Earth Age. Father could have removed all of those souls so that they existed no more and started with a new creation of children; however He did not because He loves the children He has. Have you bothered to confess love for our LORD and thank Him for His unmerited favor {grace}, that which we have not earned however our Father gave it to us anyway because that is how much He loves each and every one of His children.

Colossians 1:18 says, “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence.” “Preeminence” means “to be first.” Father God and His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus should be first and foremost in the lives of every person that makes up mankind. The First Commandment says, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” “Christ Jesus is our Foundation, the Head” of the true church which is built on christianity, being the perfect “Word of Father God Almighty, the only One.” “Christ Jesus is the firstborn from the dead” because “He was the only one born from above who is, was and shall be Perfect” and through His crucifixion our Lord “defeated death who is satan.” Christ Jesus while He was yet in the tomb, went to all those who had passed away before He was born from above and taught them the truth of His Word, and after the third day, returned within His Spiritual Body, and after speaking with His disciples, returned to Heaven where He now sits at the right hand of Father God Almighty.

Colossians 1:19 says, “For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell;” “Fullness” means “of sayings, promises, prophecies, to bring to pass, ratify, accomplish, by Jesus {dwell – God’s Savior} through the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:18 says, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth”, spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ to those with ears to hear and eyes to see. When you are in Christ Jesus, studying His Word, seeking that understanding only “Father God can give”, your faith and trust in Christ opens your heart and mind to “receive and obey His voice” through the “blessing of the Holy Spirit.” Therefore, through Christ Jesus having been born from above we see the total “God-Head, which is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

Colossians 1:20 says, “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.” By the Blood of our Perfect Lamb slain for the sins of mankind, Christ Jesus opened the way for mankind to reconcile back to Father God through salvation and repentance of sins committed from a pure and loving heart. Father God, always fair and just, had His Beloved Son to go all the way back to “The Beginning” to all of those who had been born and passed away before Christ was with us [I Peter 3:18 – 20 {I Peter 4:6}], they being in Heaven with Father on the other side of the gulf, to go and teach them, offering salvation and repentance that they too may be saved and cross over to be with Father. This happened while Christ was yet in the tomb. All of those who accepted and repented are with Father God and all those whose hearts stayed hardhearted are in Heaven and can see Father and all of His children, however still from the other side of the gulf. They have yet to receive the peace of forgiveness by their own choice.

Colossians 1:21 says, “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled” Now through Christ Jesus, when you accept, believe and repent of sins committed daily before Father’s Throne, those sins are forgiven, washed away when you repent from a true and loving heart. Once Father has forgiven your sins, He does not want to hear about them again; they were forgiven, removed from the Book of Life. Learn from them, forgive yourself and try to live better today than you did yesterday, walking a Christ-like path.

Colossians 1:22 says, “In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:” Through Christ Jesus there is total forgiveness of sins. Father does not want His faithful children who have repented from a pure heart to continue to punish themselves for those unworthy deeds done. Our LORD has blotted them out and expects His children to mature, having learned from those mistakes, and accept the complete gift of forgiveness from our LORD God Almighty. If you attend a church, never ever let them keep you basking in your errors since they have no power whatsoever to forgive sins, rather they keep you in bondage to their doctrines and traditions that are not of Father God. It is only through the Blood of the Lamb slain, Christ Jesus our Savior, crucified on that cross that you are washed white as snow and given the opportunity to improve the course of your life when you believe and have faith.

Colossians 1:23 says, “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” Stand upon a solid foundation within your faith never allowing anyone or anything to shake your belief. Pray for Father God to send one of His very elect into your life and become a new vessel unto our LORD. Take a lesson from Paul who was on the road to Damascus to destroy the church because he believed they should not be in existence and Father God stepped in and blinded his physical eyes that his spiritual eyes were opened [Acts – Chapter 9]. As faithful as Paul was in his misguided ways, he was ever so much more faithful as Father God chose this same Paul to write most of the “New Testament” of the “Holy Bible.” If you want to walk a Christ-like path, listen and understand the teachings of a true minister of Father God Almighty as Paul brings forth “truth” as is inspired through Father God. It was our Lord Jesus Christ who paid the price for any with eyes to see and ears to hear to serve Father as Paul did and receive the eternal heritance reserved in the Heavenly Estate by Father God Himself who blesses and rewards His children according to their love, discipline, service and obedience to Him who created all for His good pleasure. All of these things are possible by your faith which is unmovable.

Colossians 1:24 says, “Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:” Paul was incarcerated and he was happy because he was in the service of Father God, a faithful servant, preaching, sharing, planting seeds of truth; preaching the “Gospel of Father God” to those who were misguided by the doctrines and traditions of pulpit gurus who had no truth within them. Paul suffered greatly for spreading the Word of Father God and he did it gladly just as the very elect of this generation do. Any time you want to feel sorry for yourself if you are a seed planter, having been blessed to have that truth within your heart and mind, and you feel like you are just getting weary, think about our Lord Jesus Christ and what He endured as He defeated death who is satan, that the door to everlasting life may be opened to all who will ask, seek and knock.

Colossians 1:25 says, “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;” “Dispensation” means “stewardship {over the affairs of - teacher}.” You want to live your life so that you are a part of the plan of Almighty God and under His will. There is only one way to be a part of the plan of Father God and under His will and that is to know truth which comes from studying Father’s Word Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse. Father blesses those who bless Him and the only way to bless Father is through the faithful study of His Word. You want to be as Paul, a stewardship, which means a teacher of Father’s Word as all things come about exactly as they are written.

Colossians 1:26 says, “[Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” For the very elect of Father God, chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age [Ephesians – Chapter 1], the Holy Spirit, once your eyes are opened and your ears hear “what thus saith our LORD”, understand the parables and mysteries of Father’s Word. Without this knowledge it would be impossible to plant seeds of truth since most of the people of this world, especially those calling themselves christians are sitting in houses they call churches that are full of babble and confusion, which is of satan. Truth dispels confusion.

Colossians 1:27 says, “To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” Understanding the “mystery” is a blessing from Father God and this “mystery” is taught of in Matthew – Chapter 13 which is the “Parable of the Tares.” Verse 37 says, “He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;” This is “Emmanuel”, which means “God with us; the only begotten Son of our Father.” Verse 38 says, “The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];” “The good seed” are the “children of Almighty God, Christ Jesus our King, over the dominion who is mankind”, and “the tares” are the “children of satan.” Verse 39 says, “The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.” This is the secret, “the mystery” that was kept from the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, that the “tares are the kenites”, the “children of satan.” Christ taught many parables and if you do not understand this parable, you will not understand any of those teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. The sum of the matter is this, “the tares are the bad figs”, “the children of the wicked one” who is satan. The “good seed {figs} are the children of the Kingdom of God, {Christ and His dominion}.” When Eve was beguiled [sexually seduced] by satan, who engaged Adam in what she had learned from the serpent [another of satan’s names], having been disobedient to Father God who told them not to touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil [satan], having sinned, “they covered their genital areas with fig leaves [Genesis 3:7].” Their eyes had now been opened to wickedness [carnal] and closed to truth {spiritual}. From this union came Cain and Abel. Cain is the son of satan and the first murderer as is taught in John – Chapter 8 {44}. This is why Christ Jesus said to learn the “Parable of the Fig Tree.” Adam and Eve were in a fig grove and it was the “fig leaves they used to make an apron to cover their private parts [genitals]”, not their mouths. The “fig leaves” to this day “stand for that which is hidden or deceiving” if you do not have eyes to see and ears to hear. Jeremiah – Chapter 24 teaches of the good and bad figs returning to Jerusalem revealing this is the final generation as the Trumps, Seals and Vials are fulfilled. The “very good figs {very elect}” are true christians who have eyes to see and ears to hear, understanding and teaching as the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, the only two churches out of seven churches {encompassing the whole earth} that Christ Jesus was pleased with [Revelation – Chapters 2 & 3]. The “very naughty figs” are the kenites, the children of Cain who is the son of satan, the enemies of Father God, and this is the mystery taught by the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia that causes Father God to be pleased with them. Understanding these truths will keep you from the deception of satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ [Revelation – Chapter 12 {7 – 9}] to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind, and ignorance of Father’s Word will cause many to bow down and worship satan believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away. This is why you must study for yourself, seeking the increase of knowledge only Father God can give from a seed planted from one of His very elect. There are more pulpit gurus playing church throughout this world than you can count, and rest assured, few, a very few have been chosen by Father God. Judge the trees {people} by their fruits {what comes out of their mouths}. If it looks like a bull, it is a bull.

Colossians 1:28 says, “Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Father God does not want His children, Biblically illiterate, following the doctrines and traditions of men which cause Father’s Word to become void, chasing after satan when he is de facto upon this earth. Our LORD God Almighty wants His children standing upon a foundation of truth who is “Christ Jesus our Living Word.” You cannot be a part of the army of Father if you do not know and understand the truth of His Word. You cannot fight the spiritual battle that shall take place on this earth if you have not and are not studying to show yourself approved. What good are you to Father God if you do not stand with Him against the vile one satan who crucified His Precious Son upon that cross at Calvary. What good are you to Father if you are not ready for spiritual battle with the gospel armor in place as is taught of in Ephesians – Chapter 6 {10 – 20}.

Colossians 1:29 says, “Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.” When you are of Father God, seeking His Truths, the Spirit of Christ Jesus flows through your being and seeds of truth are planted to all who will receive with strength and instruction. It is a pleasure to be in the service of and under the veil of “YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty and His Beloved Son, Yeshua, Christ Jesus.”

BOOK OF JAMES

James - Chapter 5

James 5:1 says, “Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you].” Listen, all those who have acquired much from ill-gotten gain, taking advantage of people. You bring about those things which are offensive, unjust and cause oppression upon mankind. You have no true joy within yourself because you have both hands full and still grabbing and all the while, in misery, watching everything around you to be sure you can hang on to what you have acquired dreadfully.

James 5:2 says, “Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.” Your riches are of the world; therefore you jeopardize the wonderful garments of righteous acts you could be clothed within as we live in the Eternal Age with Father God. You have lusted for the things of the world which will not follow you into Heaven. Riches of the gospel armor which is the Word of Almighty God are Eternal.

James 5:3 says, “Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” “Cankered” means “covered with rust.” Your riches become rusted because you hold on to it so tight it corrodes and serves no purpose, not even for yourself. There is no good thing done with that which you have that can never be spent in lifetimes, yet greed keeps you from sharing and letting your blessings flow from Father God since these are the riches that follow you into Heaven.

James 5:4 says, “Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.” Those who did the work for the gain you acquired, you cheated them, keeping more for yourself, giving little to those who labored. Father God knows every evil deed you do and keeps it written in the Book of Life. Father God is all knowing and sees all things. You may hurt those who labor for you and there is nothing they can do about it, however it is best to be remembered that Father sits high and looks low; can read your mind, sees everything you do and knows the hurt you create because of your self-greed.

James 5:5 says, “Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.” “Wanton” means “to live luxuriously.” You and your riches have closed yourself up, preparing yourself for the slaughter of the end times when satan shall be cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind. Your pampering of yourself and unjust dealings with others will be the very thing that shall cause you to bow down and worship the first/false christ who is satan.

James 5:6 says, “Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth not resist you.” Your dealings to have ill-gotten gain is what brought about the death of He who is Just, Christ Jesus who did not open His mouth as condemnation was brought down against our Lord. This was not accomplished by the hand of man, Father God allowed this for His cause so that His children could receive salvation, and death, who is satan, could be destroyed [Hebrews 2:14]. Life goes full circle since the time is coming when satan, who precipitated the death of the Flesh of Christ Jesus, shall receive his just reward which is to become ashes from within; the reason one of his names is the son of perdition.

James 5:7 says, “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.” Be patient and wait because our Lord Jesus Christ is returning to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” It takes time to produce a crop, the early rain germinating the seeds which brings the plant to life, and the latter rain keeps it from drying up and dying wherein it would produce no fruit. All those who wait patiently for the return of Christ Jesus must be drenched in the latter rain which is knowledge and understanding of the very Word of Father God so you are not a part of the deception of satan, knowing our True Christ from the fake, that imitation who is satan. Without understanding of Father’s Word, as that crop, you will dry up and die because you did not know the season our Lord would return, therefore wishing for rocks and mountains to fall upon you in your shame when our True Christ appears [Revelation 6:15 – 17] and you have bowed down and worshipped death who is satan.

James 5:8 says, “Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” Keep these truths within your mind, knowing we are living in the time of the Generation of the Fig Tree {the last generation}, the latter rain closely upon mankind. Christ Jesus is not far from us [Philippians 4:4 & 5] as the end of this Second or Flesh Earth Age draws nears to its end. Redeem the times we are living in and understand the teachings of Father’s Word.

James 5:9 says, “Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.” Do not complain against and judge one another because there is only one Judge and His Name is “YAHOVAH Father God.” Remember, with your mouth you condemn yourself and with your mouth you judge yourself. “Judge not, that ye be not judged [Matthew – Chapter 7].

James 5:10 says, “Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.” Look at all the prophets of Father God and what they went through to bring forth the Word of Almighty God, never complaining, knowing and believing, full of faith in our LORD God Almighty. You have to be strong in our LORD in these end times as we watch and feel the pangs of the wicked, knowing and having faith that our Father always takes care of all who are under His will.

James 5:11 says, “Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.” “Pitiful” means “kind.” Our LORD is very compassionate {pitiful} toward His children who are obedient to His will just like Job {means probation} was. With all that happened to Job, he never turned away from or questioned our Father. Job is as the very elect of our LORD and there is nothing satan or his entourage can do to draw us from the love of our Father. No matter what happens in the lives of the very elect, Father God Almighty will always be first and foremost in our lives. Never listen to the Biblically illiterate. Study the Word of Almighty God and Father will bless you with compassion and mercy. Be faithful and be patient, waiting on our LORD.

James 5:12 says, “But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.” Stay away from the doctrines and traditions of men which are constantly changing, bringing about babble and confusion with all of their religious denominations and false teachings. Father and His Word never changes. It is the same yesterday, today and shall be tomorrow, and it is not up for personal interpretation. It is purely what “thus saith our LORD.”

James 5:13 says, “Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.” If there are any around you who are down, spiritually, physically, mentally or emotionally, lost in this world of babble and confusion, lift them up with the very Word of Almighty God.

James 5:14 says, “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:” If there are any around you who are feeble and without spiritual strength, pray for them and with the oil of our people which in of itself has no power, anoint them. It is the very elect of Father God who are the elders of the church. The very elect know that the oil itself has no power, rather it is our love, faith, trust, discipline and obedience to our LORD which is demonstrated by our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ who is our Anointed One.

James 5:15 says, “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” If there are any among you who are spiritually, physically, mentally or emotionally tried and sick, pray to our Father with them, seeking forgiveness of all sins and ask our LORD to cleanse any vile thing from them in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer is speaking with, communicating with our Father, heart to heart, spirit to spirit and it is powerful. Our LORD loves to spend time with His children whom He created for His pleasure.

James 5:16 says, “Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Father God hears all loving, sincere, patient prayers. Trust in our LORD who always answers right on time. Study Father’s Word and pray for the increase of understanding only He can give so you are drenched in the latter day rain, which is knowing the truth of Father’s Word. Our LORD is always right on time. There is no good thing Father will keep from His children who seek Him feverishly, wanting to bring Him pleasure, repenting daily of the sins committed by our flesh, be it through thoughts, words or deeds. Pray for one another; confess of sins on behalf of one another that we all may receive a healing through our Intercessor who is Christ Jesus [I Timothy – Chapter 2].

James 5:17 says, “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.” Elijah was a human being just like you and I, a common man, however he knew and understood the Word of Almighty God, the prophecy of truth. Because Elijah was so loving and faithful toward our Father, he was used to bring forth truth for our understanding just as the very elect do every time they plant a seed of truth for anyone who will receive it. Father God will give the increase of knowledge and wisdom, that latter day rain, to any who will diligently, fervently pray to Him in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Father did not give us His Precious Word for mankind to walk around believing babble and being locked in confusion. Father gave His Precious Word for our understanding so that we can always be under His veil of protection and armed with the truth to retard the fiery darts of satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ to perpetrate his deception for a five month period, which was shortened from three and one half years. Our Father God, His love so great for His election who were chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, shortened satan’s reign from three and one half years [Revelation 11:2 & 3] to five months [Matthew 24:22, Mark 13:20 & Revelation 9:5, 10]. What a loving, kind and merciful we serve.

James 5:18 says, “And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.” Just as Elijah prayed and Father answered, He will do the same for anyone who seeks Him with a pure heart. Father is so loving, kind and merciful toward His children and will do all that is necessary to see to His Truths being spread throughout the whole earth. Father wants His children to know when our Lord Jesus Christ returns and this knowledge, that latter day rain, comes forth for any who pray earnestly from a sincere heart, being loving, patient and faithful, blessing our LORD through truthful study of His Word.

James 5:19 & 20 says, “Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;” “Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.” When you receive that latter day rain which is truth that comes from studying Father’s Word; sharing that same truth as you plant seeds to any who will receive it, Father God, through Christ Jesus, saves the souls of His children. Truth is to be shared and not hidden under a bushel since no fruit can be produced if it is not watered and pruned to produce a good and plentiful crop, which brings about blessings from “Father God Almighty, Faith and True, and His Beloved Son Christ Jesus through the Blessings of the Holy Spirit.”

BOOK OF JAMES

James - Chapter 4

James 4:1 says, “From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?” “Lusts” means “desires for pleasure [play-acting pulpit gurus and hallelujah corners; playing church].” All the babble and confusion within your church amongst your congregations certainly did not come from Father. If your church stands on our foundation who is Christ Jesus, Father is loved and adored because His truths are taught there and peace flows between the hearts and minds of the people to Father God Almighty. I Corinthians 14:33 says, “For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” Father God is not the commander of Babylon [confusion], satan is.

James 4:2 says, “Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.” “Lust” means “to have a desire for, long for – those things forbidden [i.e. – babble and confusion which is of satan].” Ask Father God for peace and understanding which comes from studying His Word. There is no stability in most churches because truth is not taught which is what satan just loves, keeping that babble and confusion alive and flowing. Father will never be in the midst of babble and confusion since His Spirit is peaceful, loving, merciful, and full of wisdom, common sense and kind.

James 4:3 says, “Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.” “Amiss” means “improperly, wrongly.” If you have a mind-set of being so religious, so important to the congregation because they just cannot survive without you, that is lusts of your own heart that will surely keep you in trouble spiritually. It takes a humble spirit to teach. One who seeks in faithful prayer the blessing of understanding from Father God through Christ Jesus and studies to show themselves approved. It is not to bring praise and glory to yourself, rather to bring that edification to Father God as His children return to Him seeking that spiritual comfort only our LORD can provide as hearts and minds are open to receive truth that will keep them from the deception of satan as this Flesh or Second Earth Age reaches its end.

James 4:4 says, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” This is speaking of those calling themselves teachers who teach idolatry because they are void of truth. It is necessary to understand this world we live in and be able to manage your carnal life to survive which is not hard if you are under the veil of Father God. However it you are a part of the evilness of this world including within your church which is a part of the four hidden dynasties [economics, education, politics, religion] of satan, wherein you magnify your pulpit gurus over Father God, you will never receive those spiritual blessings our LORD wants to abundantly give to His children. Being blessed abundantly in the flesh has no merit since there is not one penny, one shoe, one gold tooth that you can take with you into the Eternal Age. Seek Father’s love and blessings because He wants His children to be a friend to Him and not to this world because we were created to bring Father pleasure. It is impossible to please Father God when you do not even know the events that lead up to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

James 4:5 says, “Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?” Genesis 6:5 teaches of the evilness of the flesh and this is why you have to stay prayed up, studying and communing with Father God to keep yourself out of trouble as you walk in this flesh. The ways of this world will keep you from having a relationship with Father and it is impossible to have spiritual peace and be kept from the deception of satan if you continue to walk in darkness which is of satan, of this world, when you should be walking within the Light who is Christ Jesus our Living Word. Truth releases you from bondage, separating you from babble and confusion.

James 4:6 says, “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” “Grace” means “unmerited favor.” “Proud” means “showing one’s self above others.” Study Ezekiel – Chapter 28 and understand why satan is the son of perdition; it was his pride. Humble” means “devoid of haughtiness.” Father God always extends to His children who love Him, love, grace and mercy. Grace is unmerited favor because it is of the merciful kindness of Father God. It is this grace that keeps you under the veil of protection through Christ Jesus when you embrace Father by studying His Word. Father always takes care of His own when you love Him, having faith, trust, being obedient and disciplined.

James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” In Luke 10:18 Christ Jesus gave us power over all of our enemies. Order satan out of your life in the Name of Christ Jesus and he will flee since that old devil cannot stand to be in the presence of our LORD. Father has given His children authority over all that is evil.

James 4:8 says, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.” “Double minded” means “a wavering, uncertain, doubting; divided in interest.” You do not want to be one who just waves back and forth like a leaf in the wind. You want to plant your feet solid in the Word of Father God so your spirit communes with Father’s Spirit. You want to be fit to be a seed planter of that same truth you have learned, sharing that wisdom with all who will receive it steadfast in the ways of truth since this is pleasing to our LORD. You cannot claim to be Christ-like when it is convenient, having one foot in the world and another in your church. Only a fool would trust you because as we learned in James 1:8, “A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.”

James 4:9 says, “Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.” You can walk around in misery or you can have joy in our LORD as a faithful child of His word, walking in obedience and discipline. You can live your life balanced by applying common sense with wisdom because you have grafted yourself into the family of Christ Jesus, knowing what “thus saith our LORD”, which brings you peace of heart, mind and spirit.

James 4:10 says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” Father keeps His promises and He always will keep you when you give Him all the praise and the glory. All things belong to Father God and you must magnify our LORD with thanksgiving from a true and loving heart, and you can rest assured that your walk in this flesh body will be one of peace and joy as you pray without ceasing for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

James 4:11 says, “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.” Watch your tongue and be kind. There is only one “Judge” and His name is “YAHOVAH.” Father God does not need any help and no one except our Father knows the heart of any of His children. If you judge another to Heaven or hell you place yourself in jeopardy in the sight of Almighty God. Spiritual discernment is a wonderful thing; however it has nothing to do with judging. Leave that to He who created all and knows all. Mathew 10:28 teaches of the power of Almighty God since He alone judges the destiny of all souls.

James 4:12 says, “There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?” Who do you think you are condemning someone else to hell? You best rethink those words spewing out of your mouth since Father God needs no help from mankind when it comes to the destiny of His children and is not pleased when you believe you can decide or even give your opinion on the fate of the soul of another. Out of your mouth you justify yourself and out of your mouth you condemn yourself.

James 4:13 says, “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:” Anything you attain that is void of Father’s blessings is not something you want to take possession of. The very elect know that all blessings come from Father when you are under His will. Father will see to you having all that you need and expects His election to also you common sense. Christ Jesus said to Peter in Luke – Chapter 22 when He was about to leave them, our Lord’s crucifixion at hand, that He had provided their needs while walking with the disciples and to continue using common sense to have what is needful as their work continues for our LORD as He goes to sit at the right hand of His Father who is in Heaven. When you do all things according to the plan of Father you will receive what you are needful of which includes common sense to take the blessings of Father and make do.

James 4:14 says, “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.” No one knows what tomorrow will bring and you do not give your soul over to Father God since it already belongs to Him as is taught in Ezekiel 18:4. When the flesh body passes away, your spirit body returns to He who gave it, our Father God Almighty. For a short time, your spiritual self, through Father God, gave life to your flesh body. Therefore, your heart and mind should be on those things which are spiritual since flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of Almighty God. The flesh can be here today, and poof, just like a mist, gone tomorrow. Your spirit however can live on.

James 4:15 says, “For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.” If you are under the will of Father God all things are possible for your life and you only want those things that our LORD wants you to have since your purpose is to be a part of the plan of Almighty God as you are in His service; doers of Father’s Word.

James 4:16 says, “But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.” If what you have did not come from Father, rather from the backs of His children as you keep them on a guilt trip with false teachings, you are walking on shaking ground, Father knowing all and seeing all. You cannot do things your way, leaving Father God out. That is the path satan wants to see you take and you can rest assured that just as surely as you do, trouble and evil will be lurking for you; satan grabbing you right up into his clutch of deception and false peace when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. All things that you are, have, and are a part of spiritually and physically should most definitely be by the will of Father God Almighty.

James 4:17 says, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.” If you know better and you carry on in the ways of the world, Father is not pleased. There are some who know the truth who stand in your pulpits and refuse to teach it because it may cause them to lose the riches desired for happy days in the flesh. When you know the truth which means Father is a part of your life, seek all blessing from our LORD and know, understand and believe that you will not be deprived of any good thing. “Father God is always Faithful and True to those under His will.”

BOOK OF JAMES

James - Chapter 3

James 3:1 says, “My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” The tongue, that which you speak, if you are void of Father’s Truths can mislead if you are Biblically illiterate and teaching carnally instead of spiritually. Be sure your teachers, those you are listening to, are led by Father God. Judgment begins at the pulpit [I Peter 4:17] when the so called teachers answer for their sins as well as the sins of all their false teachings that cause others to be misled. A master scholar of christianity are as the very elect who are familiar with Father’s Word, therefore judge the tree [Matthew 7:15 - 23] by its fruit since there will not be many who teach truth, however there will be many who teach lies, doctrines and traditions of men.

James 3:2 says, “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to bridle the whole body.” Bridle the tongue means you teach only truth, which is Father’s Word, giving our LORD the glory since all truth comes from Father God. The very elect are vessels, servants to our Father and no tribute goes to them for that which Father has blessed with since all knowledge comes from our LORD who receives all recognition, all respect and glory for His merciful kindness.

James 3:3 says, “Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.” A person who just talks all the time speaking nothingness or carnal things rather than teaching spiritual truth because they never bother to study Father’s Word Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse wherein they can share that truth, have not accepted that bit in their mouth which brings about love, discipline and obedience in Father’s Word. When you are as the very elect of Father God you speak only that which is proven within His Word and no one can change the path of your love, obedience and discipline from the course of Christ Jesus who is our Living Word.

James 3:4 says, “Behold also the ships, which though [they be] so great, and [are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.” A small helm can turn a huge ship; however you cannot do that with the rambling nothingness coming out of the mouth of the Biblically illiterate. False teachings cause congregations to stumble within their spiritual self.

James 3:5 says, “Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!” Out of a small mouth with a little tongue is just like a small match that causes a forest fire. That small Biblically illiterate tongue speaking false teachings grows like wildfire among those calling themselves christians who never bother to study the Word of Father God wherein you can judge the tree by its fruit and know a lie when you hear one.

James 3:6 says, “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.” Gossip and false teachings are not a little matter since it can cause you to bow down and worship the first/false christ [satan] when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind. That deception will cause you to be under that cup of wrath, which is discipline with chastisement from our Lord Jesus Christ when He returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Study to show yourself approved through prayer; seeking the increase of knowledge only Father God can give.

James 3:7 says, “For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:” Mankind can tame all kinds of animals since Father has given us dominion over the animal kingdom, however most cannot tame their own ignorant tongue. They can find no discipline within what comes out of their mouths, such as teaching the truth of Father’s Word because of a lack of love, discipline and obedience, their allegiance to their own fame and wealth.

James 3:8 says, “But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” It is full of poison which are the doctrines and traditions of men that teach people of the rapture and lead them spiritually speaking, right into the bed of satan when he is cast to this earth, if you teach your truth rather than Father’s truth.

James 3:9 says, “Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.” You do not get sweet and sour water out of the same well and you should not be rendering or receiving sweet and sour words out of the same mouth. Father’s Word is faithful and true and never changes. Fill your mind with Father’s truths and teach what our LORD has written through His servants and Christ Jesus, our Master Teacher. Father God is Creator of Heaven and earth, and “For the earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof [I Corinthians 10:26].” Everything belongs to Father God. Therefore, there is only one way each of us can bless our LORD who has possession of all things and that is by studying His Word and seeking understanding of these truths, which brings our Father pleasure.

James 3:10 says, “Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.” When you are a teacher of Father’s Word be careful of what comes out of your mouth when teaching as well as during your daily living. Let your light so shine in your christian walk so that which is good far exceeds that which is bad. No one is perfect which includes the very elect; however Father expects much from His election since He has given them much.

James 3:11 says, “Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?” No it does not; since the water will be the same just as Father’s Word is the same, not up for personal interpretation, one meaning only; yesterday, today and tomorrow.

James 3:12 says, “Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.” Judge the teacher by what comes forth from their mouth. Be slow to answer, quick to listen and when you are versed in Father’s Truths, you will be able to discern that which is true from that which is a lie, that which is true from that which is fiction. If it sounds like babble and causes you to be confused since it makes no sense, that thorn [pulpit guru] is spewing sour grapes and Father’s Truths are sweet to your spirit because they are from our True Vine who is Christ Jesus.

James 3:13 says, “Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.” Wisdom is and comes from the Word of Father God. A true teacher has humility and a clear understanding of truth and they will never take recognition for what comes from their mouth, always giving Father the glory, blessing our LORD for granting that increase of knowledge and understanding of His precious truths.

James 3:14 says, “But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.” Father’s Word is the truth and when you twist, misinterpret and teach according to the traditions and doctrines of men, you are saying in your ignorance that Father gave mankind a Word that is babble and confusion and that is a lie and certainly displeases Father who despises false teachings.

James 3:15 says, “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish.” The teachings according to the doctrines and traditions of men are not from Father God since it brings nothing but trouble into your congregations and this why there are always problems within the churches. Father is not the author of confusion, satan is. Teach spiritually {respectfully} and not carnally [by imagination]. There is one Word and one Truth and teaching these truths brings about blessings.

James 3:16 says, “For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.” There is no peace when truth is not taught, only disorder and chaos. Peace of mind comes from accepting Christ Jesus, loving our Father God and living according to the Word of Almighty God since your journey is not for the flesh, rather for your spiritual self to spend all of eternity with our LORD in Heaven. Get out of the confusion of the flesh which shall perish at the sounding of the Seventh Trump when Christ Jesus returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords”, and be ready to receive your spiritual body with an immortal soul.

James 3:17 says, “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” When your spirit communes with Father’s Spirit through Christ Jesus studying, receiving understanding and being a part of the plan of Almighty God there is peace within your spirit that no one can take away from you. Understanding the mysteries of why we were born into this Second or Flesh Earth Age, what shall happen as it comes to its end and our gathering back to Christ Jesus for the Millennial Kingdom teaching should bring you joy. Knowing and understanding these things keeps you under the will of Father as you long to be with Him forever within His Heavenly Estate. So get rid of the traditions and doctrines of men and listen to the teachings of Christ Jesus who is our Living Word and rejoice with your peaceful spirit as you commune with Father God.

James 3:18 says, “And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” When teachers sow peace it will bring peace to your congregations. In many churches this does not happen as your so-called teachers stand before you wanting to be loved and adored, patted on the back for the nothingness that spills from their mouth, strutting with their playing church and encouraging hallelujah corners. Father’s Word is not complicated if you want to receive it with understanding because it is Father’s desire for all to come to have that knowledge of His Word. Stop being a part of playing church and find peace with our LORD God Almighty through Christ Jesus by the blessing of the Holy Spirit and feel the calm of a peaceful spirit.

BOOK OF JAMES

James - Chapter 2

James 2:1 says, “My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.” Father God is not a “respecter” of persons and does not want you to be either, which means “the fault of one who when called on to give judgment has respect of the outward circumstances of man and not to their intrinsic merits, and so prefers, as the more worthy, one who is rich, high born, or powerful, to another who does not have these possessions or qualities.

James 2:2 says, “For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;” Here you have one who just looks like money and another who looks poor and withered.

James 2:3 says, “And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:” You lavish the one who looks like money and deprive the one who has little, demonstrating your authority, this making you a respecter of persons which Father does not like. While one may have much carnally, they are still poor as a church mouse if they do not have the blessings and riches of Father God. Those who look like they have nothing or very little of this world may have far greater riches because they are under the veil of Father God, lavished with the truth of His Word and are looked upon in wonder because you can see the Spirit of Father God radiating from them.

James 2:4 says, “Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?” If you are a respecter of persons you are double-minded and have no station in life, blowing in the wind, never dependable in your thoughts or speech, changing from one day to the next. You are untrustworthy. You have no basis because you have no foundation in Christ Jesus.

James 2:5 says, “Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” Those who may not have much carnally and are hearers and doers of Father’s Word have greater riches than any who have the riches of this world. Father God blesses His children to see to it they have what is needful. The riches of this world can draw you away from obedience and discipline which is required to be in the service of our LORD. Those under the wings of Father God, doing His will, serving to be a part of His Plan, seek the riches of the Eternal Age.

James 2:6 says, “But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?” Those whose only interest is in dollars will walk all over you to keep it and attain more. They will drag you from the lowest to the highest courts to take whatever you have by any means necessary. This is why christians do not want to be a part of the assembly of the world. Always communicate with Father who will protect you from the ways of the world when you are under His veil of protection, hearing and doing His will, which is His Word.

James 2:7 says, “Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?” Those who think they are somebody, as those high rollers of the business they call a church, mocked Christ Jesus and to this day they mock christianity which is of Christ Jesus. Those of the world do not want to hear anything about our LORD. Father sits high and looks low; nothing is escaping Him. Stay under the veil of Father God.

James 2:8 says, “If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:” There is only One who is Royal and that is Father God Almighty and Christ Jesus is our Scriptures, for He is our Living Word. The Word teaches us to do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

James 2:9 says, “But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.” Treat everyone the same so you never become a respecter of persons. Judge the tree by its fruit and plant the truth of the Royal Law, which is the Holy Bible, to any who will receive it.

James 2:10 says, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.” Sin is sin in the eyes of Father and no one is free from it. Bless our LORD that we have repentance through Christ Jesus.

James 2:11 says, “For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.” Father God gives us instructions through His Commandments and teachings to keep His children out of trouble while living in the flesh. However, when you do sin, repent, having a change of heart and mind, and while you may have to answer to the law of man with no forgiveness, Father God, through Christ Jesus will forgive a true heart. The law of man cannot open the doors to Heaven for you, only abiding by the laws of Father God can. When you commit those offenses of sin not repented for, it is our Father who hands down the judgment and there is not one of mankind who can stop it. This is why Father said when one among you commit certain crimes such as premeditated murder and rape, “send them to Me.” The only way to get to Father God is through death of the flesh and that is the penalty for those crimes committed as we live in the flesh. Genesis 9:6 says “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Numbers 25:16 – 21 teaches of what shall happen to one who premeditates murder; that person shall be put to death and sent to our Father God.

James 2:12 says, “So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.” The law of liberty is forgiveness which is that salvation that comes through Christ Jesus who sacrificed Himself upon that cross at Calvary that mankind could receive the healing and come before Father God’s Throne, that veil having been rent from top to bottom, seeking forgiveness for sins committed.

James 2:13 says, “For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” “Mercy” is “of God towards men: in general providence; the mercy and clemency of God in providing and offering to men salvation by Christ Jesus” who has victory over judgment..

James 2:14 says, “What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?” Faith and works go hand and hand. Faith without works is dead. You must love Father God and not be a respecter of persons, serving under the law of liberty which sets you free. You must be a worker for Father God, having faith in His promises, doing His will and never turning away from Father’s love because through faithful study you are grafted to our Lord Jesus Christ which brings about blessings and that veil of protection wherein you receive mercy which triumphs over all the things of this world.

James 2:15 says, “If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,” When one is down and doing without, having need of any good thing.

James 2:16 says, “And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?” When one is hungry, having any needs whatsoever and all you say is you will offer prayer for them, you are of no use. Share what you have and give them the opportunity of having a new beginning, a fresh start. Spiritually this is speaking of the famine of the end times for hearing the word of Father God and it is the elections duty under the will of our LORD to plant seeds of truth, nourishing their spirits that they become a part of the family of Father God, filled with His Holy Spirit as Christ Jesus feeds them the Living Word. Just as you fulfill a carnal need, the spiritual needs must be nourished as well. Offering that which will lift one up and give them that start needed, as in planting a seed of truth and they continue working through studying Father’s Word in the Name of Christ Jesus by the blessings of the Holy Spirit to receive that increase of understanding only our LORD can give.

James 2:17 says, “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” If you have faith in Father it is only natural that you want to serve Him. Father God wants His children to revere Him and in order to love Father it is necessary to know Him which is only accomplished through understanding His Word and being a vessel to be used to spreading the truth of His Gospel.

James 2:18 says, “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” Your faith and works are between Father and yourself as well as through yourself and those you come in contact with. It shows how much Father is loved and the joy it brings to be under His will knowing that when life is once more with our Father in the Heavenly Age, your good deeds; your works done on earth shall be rewarded in Heaven. Having faith in God is not enough. You must be under His will, first understanding His Truths and then sharing that same truth with any who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Working for Father is what keeps your faith in Him alive and flourishing.

James 2:19 says, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” The good and the wicked, including satan, know that there is only one Father God Almighty. The wicked and faithless may try to create their own gods however it is nothing more than a cheap imitation because “YAHOVAH, I AM THAT I AM” is our One any Only True LORD God Almighty. Now knowing there is only One Father God Almighty and not giving yourself over to Him, Father receives no pleasure in you.

James 2:20 says, “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” Faith is a wonderful thing and pleases our Father. However to know and love our LORD you must understand His Word and share that truth with all those having ears to hear and eyes to see. This brings our Father joy and all become a part of His family when we magnify Father through our Living Word who is Christ Jesus.

James 2:21 says, “Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?” Abraham loved Father so much that he was offering his son as a sacrifice to our LORD, a child Abraham had longed for. Abraham had faith in our Father and would not question, rather obey. Even the son of Abraham did not question when his father told him to lay upon the sacrificial bed. Father God of course did not want this child to be sacrificed as our LORD had a lamb offered who was symbolic of our Messiah Christ Jesus who at that time was yet to come. Father just wants to know that His children love and trust Him and never doubt that whatever Father has stored up for His children is loving, kind and good.

James 2:22 says, “Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?” Faith is made perfect by your works. II Thessalonians 3:10 says if one does not work, do not feed him. If one is too lazy to support themselves to serve their carnal needs and you have tried to help them, do not lavish them because then they have no reason to fend for themselves. Spiritually, if someone always talks about loving and having faith in Father and you share truth with them yet they never do any good works for our LORD on their own, kick the dust and leave them to their religion. Christianity is walking a Christ-like path and Christ taught us how we should pray and do the works of Father God Almighty that as you learn the truth you share that same truth planting seeds of understanding wherever they may be heard. Never cast your pearls before swine since they are not doers of Father’s Word. Truth is a blessing when it is shared.

James 2:23 says, “And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.” This is Isaiah 41:8. Faith is the substance of loving our Father God wherein you do His Works and receive blessings only our LORD can give. You are a part of the many membered body of Christ Jesus; a part of His christian family when you do the will of Almighty God and stand, demonstrating faith being a doer of the Word, waiting for our Companion, our Bridegroom, who is Christ Jesus.

James 2:24 says, “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” Faith and works go hand and hand in order to be pleasing to our Father. Separate them and you lack the foundation of christianity which is of and for Christ Jesus.

James 2:25 says, “Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?” Rahab, was a businesswoman and as is sometimes the case as we now live, because of her success, was labeled a harlot by jealous tongues not by Father God. She was a maker of fine materials and the flax {fiber used to make linen which is symbolic of Heavenly apparel} used was placed on the roof to dry. It is under this flax that Rahab hid the messengers sent to spy out Jericho by Joshua [Joshua – Chapter 2] as Father God commanded. Rahab knew Father God had sent these messengers just as she knew what was about to befall Jericho and it was her faith in Father that led this woman to protect them from harm threatened by the king of Jericho; her action, being a doer, demonstrating her faith in Father. It was because of her faith in Father God that she, her family and all possessions were spared by our LORD. Father God blessed this woman because of her faith in Him which she showed in that Rehab felt no fear from the king because she knew Father always takes care of His own. This is the same faith that is required to stand against satan at the appointed time in this generation, all knowing that Father has authority over all matters and He will never leave or forsake His children who are obedient and faithful, doers, knowing His plan because you are studying the truth of His Word. The flax, that fine linen, is the reward Father’s very elect will wear in the Eternal Age as is taught in Revelation 19:7 & 8.

James 2:26 says, “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” Having the blessings of Father God is a wonderful gift and it comes to all of those who love, have faith and do the work of our LORD to produce fruit to the edification of He who created mankind for His good pleasure. Faith and work together bring our LORD God Almighty pleasure because it demonstrates how much you love our Father.

THE BOOK OF JAMES

James - Chapter 1

James 1:1 says, “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.” Christ Jesus came to heal the spiritually sick and gather them back to Almighty God who knows where all of His children are and what is within their hearts. “Twelve” means “governmental perfection.” It symbolizes Father’s perfect, divine accomplishment actively manifested by divine appointment.

James 1:2 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;” “Joy” means “to rejoice, be glad.” Overcome temptation joyfully since you are in the service of Father God who will always lead, guide and direct you. Father always takes care of His own children. It is a joy to be challenged and overcome that which is evil, satan himself, doing so through our Living Word, who is Christ Jesus.

James 1:3 says, “Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience.” Having faith in Father God, which means you do not have to see, feel and touch to have that trust and belief, brings about steadfast waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Work with Father God by understanding His Word.

James 1:4 says, “But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Be mature in your patience wherein you are lacking nothing spiritually, feeling the fulfillment that comes from a relationship with Father God that no person, place or thing can come between. Your life has order and pleasing Father God is what it is all about because your spiritual self is free from babble and confusion which brings about a joyful peace.

James 1:5 says, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” Father God will provide understanding simply when you seek truth which comes from studying His Word. All understanding comes from Father God through Christ Jesus and the blessing of the Holy Spirit. Proverbs 1:7 teaches of loving Father since all wisdom comes from our LORD. Christ Jesus taught without being complicated if you have eyes to see and ears to hear, with a receiving heart. Father will always liberally provide you with understanding to share His Truths since they are of no use hidden under a bushel.

James 1:6 says, “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” Ask Father without doubt, having confidence. Never be suspicious of the truth of Father’s Word. Ask Father for wisdom and do so confidently, not with reservation because that means you lack assurance and cannot be a help in the spreading of Father’s Word.

James 1:7 says, “For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.” If you doubt Father, you lose blessings. If you have no faith, it is difficult to love Father and understand His truths. You must trust Father and let Him know how much you love our LORD without conditions.

James 1:8 says, “A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.” You cannot trust a person who sways back and forth, never yes or no. A person who has no foundation cannot be depended on. Father God says yes or no, there is no middle ground. You either love, have faith and trust Father or you do not.

James 1:9 says, “Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:” Give glory to Father when you are lifted up with knowledge and understanding of His Word.

James 1:10 says, “But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.” Rich in the flesh, worldly things, too busy for Father God, you have no spiritual rewards since flesh and blood, all worldly accomplishments and gain cannot inherit the Kingdom of Father God. Father will see to you having what you need physically to sustain yourself in order to be a worker of His Word. Seek the rewards of Heaven by understanding and planting seeds of truth wherever they will be heard, received and accepted.

James 1:11 says, “For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.” Spiritually, the rich in flesh, not serving Father, understanding His Truths, have nothing. If you cannot take your earthly possessions to Heaven when your flesh passes away, truly what good were they.

James 1:12 says, “Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” If you are weak, having no willpower, you are subject to temptation that is not good for your spiritual self. Faith, love and patience bring about willpower to stay in line with the teachings of Christ Jesus, pleasing Father. Seek the rewards of the Heavenly Age that shall be with you eternally. This pleases Father since it is love for our LORD that brings about righteous acts which are eternal rewards received for being a servant to Father, doing His will, sharing the true word, while in the flesh.

James 1:13 says, “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:” I Corinthians 10:13 teaches nothing will happen to you that is not common with everyone and Father will never allow you to be tempted over what you are able to bear. Father will always deliver you from temptation [satan, evil and wickedness]. God does not tempt or burden His children and to even think this causes our Father to be unhappy and find no pleasure in you. Jeremiah 23:33 - 40 teaches that Father does not put burdens on His children, mankind places burdens on themselves most often through disobedience. Accuse Father and you are in trouble since our LORD will allow you to wallow in your own created misery. Father is Love. Father does not burden, He removes His children from burdens when you come to Him with a pure, faithful and loving heart, having hands ready to serve Him always.

James 1:14 says, “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.” There are times when everyone will be tempted since flesh is not perfect and liable to sin. Thank our Father God for Christ Jesus who gave the gift of salvation which offers mankind the opportunity to repent for sins daily.

James 1:15 says, “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Flesh will be tempted to sin and death himself who is satan will gladly assist you on a road that leads to jeopardy of your soul, if you allow him to.

James 1:16 says, “Do not err, my beloved brethren.” Do not fall for temptation and when it does come into your path, do not blame Father, run to Father seeking shelter by confessing your love and studying to show yourself approved, for Christ Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Path to the Light. Pray to Father for help and our LORD will always remove you from that which is evil. Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us that He has given us power over all of our enemies now and in those days yet to come if you have the faith to exercise the authority given, which only comes with understanding the Word of our Father God [Luke 10:19].

James 1:17 says, “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.” Father God is the same always and you can count on that. All gifts of the spirit come from Father, the blessing of understanding His Word, sharing His truths, planting seeds wherever they may be heard. Never let the world cause you to be removed from Father God. Stay in His Word, receiving blessings, being faithful, never doubting and trusting in our LORD who created all of mankind for His pleasure, knowing Father will never leave or forsake you. Christ Jesus, our Living Word is the Light of the world. When you give into temptation, you are walking in darkness which is of satan.

James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” All were born from above in the image of Father and the angels to live through this Flesh or Second Earth Age for the purpose of loving and following Father God, who is eternal life, or loving and following the prince of darkness who is satan. The very elect {firstfruits} of Father God should always rise above the temptations of this world. This does not mean we will be without sin, it means when we sin to immediately let Father know how much He is loved, that you believe in Christ Jesus and confess of sins daily since the flesh will sin be it through thoughts, words or deeds. With forgiveness comes a new beginning and you move quickly back to do the work of Father, your heart and mind spiritually inclined to those things which bring our Father pleasure. The very elect are a reflection of Christ Jesus as His truths are shared with any who will receive them.

James 1:19 says, “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:” It is necessary to be disciplined and obedient in order to be within the service of Father. Hear the word of Almighty God as you meditate on truth. Do not speak before you have truth embedded within your mind; that understanding only Father can give through faithful study. Be mindful of anger since truth becomes babble and confuse as a result of it. Never be double minded having sweet and sour water, truth on one hand and babble on the other, running out of your mouth. Be patient and let the Spirit of Father God emanate from and through you.

James 1:20 says, “For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” There is no connection between wrath and Father when it comes to sharing the truth of His Word. When you are walking around an angry person, you have lost your spiritual connection to Father God, walking a lonely road spiritually, depriving yourself of that which is good and opening the door for satan to walk in. Father God cannot use miserable people to teach and share His Word. You must have a sweet spirit to serve Father God.

James 1:21 says, “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” Rid your spirit of evil things and humbly receive Father’s Word to become a part of His Spirit wherein it is a part of you, which makes you a doer, having faith. This spiritual mindset changes your life as you are blessed by Father and you can therefore share those blessings with others as you plant seeds of truth that draw them to Father through our Living Word, who is Christ Jesus.

James 1:22 says, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” Your walk in this flesh is to be one of a christian, which means you are following a Christ-like path and not just acting religious since that requires no work. Revelation 14:13 teaches that when you leave the flesh body returning to Father God within your spiritual body, the only thing you take with you are your righteous acts, which is your “work {labor}” for Father accomplished in the flesh. No work, no rewards. Play church religiously while in the flesh and that is your reward which will serve you no purpose in Heaven.

James 1:23 says, “For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:” When you look in the mirror you see your reflection which is not your true self, rather an image of yourself.

James 1:24 says, “For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.” Once you are no longer looking in the mirror at yourself, the image is gone. That is what your religion is if you just listen and never do any work for Father. There is no reward from Almighty God for just listening and never acting on the truth of His Word. Never turn your back on truth, leaving it as that mirror image. Truth should be with you always since that means Father God is with you always.

James 1:25 says, “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” When you stay in the Word of Father God, His Truths, remembering all that you can of the teachings of Christ Jesus and all those who Father God blessed to share the word of truth within the Holy Bible, a faithful student that our LORD can use to be a part of His mighty plan, you can rest assured that Father will always bless you. No matter what is happening within this world, Father always keeps His Word and takes care of His own. The world cannot help you; only Father God can since all blessings comes through Him when you bring our LORD pleasure, which is love. The law of liberty is the Word of Father God which sets you free; thank our LORD for repentance through Christ Jesus wherein there is forgiveness.

James 1:26 says, “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain.” If you are religious which means being of a ceremonious type, traditional, and not studying Father’s Word Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, seeking understanding only Father can give through Christ Jesus, you are playing church. You are not a blessing to yourself or anyone else because you are void of what “thus saith our LORD.” Peace of mind comes with having a true relationship with Father and you can only have this relationship by understanding what our LORD has to say, knowing what His expectations are and what is necessary to be as His very elect.

James 1:27 says, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.” You must be a child of Father God in spirit and in truth and not a part of this world since we are only passing through. You are fatherless if you do not know Father God is your True Parent since all of mankind are His children. You are a widow if you do not know you are to be the bride of Christ Jesus when He returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Understanding these truths is what keeps you from being spotted in this world of darkness which belongs to satan. Hear that which is taught by the very elect of Father God since it is not that individual who brings forth truth; rather it is through the blessings of Christ Jesus, our Living Word, through the Holy Spirit.
