His second coming . . . . . Has been a possibility from His death. Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mar 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. Luk 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. Luk 9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. It is a possibility just after the rebirth Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. This second coming is right over the earth Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. But not Himself! Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. This kingdom is within us . . and waiting to be revealed . . . as some saw the revelation is the times of Jesus . . .and always there has been some that has seen it. So . .why do some experience it and some not!!! Spiritual growth. It is not for the children of God . . but for the grown-ups As there are some more grown-up than others. Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; And when the “perfect man” is reached . . .obviously he is perfected then also in wisdom which is also in Christ 1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: And by this wisdom . . .Christ . . .the Christlike one . . having grown up in Christ . . . has the wisdom necessary . . .to rule. Pro 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. Pro 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Pro 8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. Pro 8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. Pro 8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. Pro 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Pro 8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. Pro 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. This was the way king Solomon ruled! And this is the way we shall rule because then the condition is fulfilled! 1Co 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. AND THE CONDITION IS FULLFILLED! AND HE IS BRINGING TO LIGHT . . .THE THINGS OF THE DARKNESS! And only some accepts it! Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. AND HE CAME TO ROBERTSON . . .AND ROBERTSON CAN WITTNESS ABOUT IT. And here is a website of the reverend . .calls himself a “doctor” in education . . .which can be asked. AND HE VISITED OPENHEAVEN – a successful prominent forum on the internet. And here is the recording of the actual happening there. AND MANY OTHER FORUMS AND NOW HE IS HERE . . .TO BRING THE DARKNESS TO THE LIGHT AND WHAT IS HIDDEN WILL NOT BE HIDDEN ANYMORE AS THE MARRIAGE IS “HIDDEN” . . BY KING SAUL TAKING FOR HIMSELF PRIVILEDGES WHICH HE SHOULD NOT! . . AS RULING SHOULD BE DONE BY JESUS . . THROUGH WISDOM . . .AND NOT THROUGH PUSHING OF THE BUTTONS . . .CONVENIENTLY PROGRAMMED INTO FORUMS .. . AND ACTING AS IF IT IS THE WISDOM OF CHRISTI . . .AS THE WISDOM OF CHRIST . . .BY WHICH RULLING IS EFFECTED WORKS BY REVEALING! THE DARKNESS! AND THE MARRIAGE IS NOW REVEALED AT CHRISTS FORUM And if this message is also “hidden” . . .because of the evil pride of king Saul . . .then it will still be revealed . . . in Christs forum. And the actions of “king Saul” will also be revealed in Christs forum IT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD! HALLELUJAH! AMEN LOVE Johan Edit: Links Removed by Omegaman 3.0

We know that in the last days God is coming to rule. Rev 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. His family will be part of it Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. This has been prophesied from the beginning. Jer 33:14 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. Jer 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. Jer 33:17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; And it happened! Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Jer 17:25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. But: many thought He was going to do it Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Not so! Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Only problem is . . .king Saul is in the seat. He needs to be overthrown first. He is the present ruler. But we know that he has been rejected because he rejected God. And David needs to come into the rulersposition. And the Rider starts riding. Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And He uses revealing . . .of the lies. Eph 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. And those that love the darkness is trying their best to remove the light. But they forget . . .it is the Rider and His horse. The horse is the visible one and the Rider not . . .still . . . it is actually Him. And now . . .they came to Worthy. And it seems that king Saul has started to manifest. Love . . Johan Prepared .. .in advance . . .this morning . . .as God said so!

God created us in His image Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him And then man decided to follow other desires Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. and died. Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And as “dead” people we enter this world . .. living our own life . . that of death. And then Life appeared again. Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And man can be alive again Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. As true Life is that of God and without it we are living in the life of the human being . . . .death. And we can die to ourselves and become alive in Christ! Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Rom 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. The way Paul lived Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. And thus we became born again . . . Joh 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. And sin became something of the past. 1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. As the child is like the Father . . born from the Father and the same Life in Him by which he lives And now the very Life of God become the very life of the human being . . .allowing him now to experience and live the Life of God . . .a true child of God with the fullness of the Life of God inside of Him by which he lives now. As a father always . . .through birth and His seed . . . .gives his very own life to his children .. . nothing more nothing less. And the father/Father can only enjoy his/His son/daughter if he/she has the same life. No Father is so selfish as too keep the glory of his own life from his children.

Actually it is "metaphor" . . .also . . .for the saints and thus: we "in" the cloud Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Rev 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; Rev 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Rev 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Rev 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Such a worthy song to sing. . . but we need to learn the words first. Then we can sing it . . . in front of the people! Job 33:23 "If there's a messenger appointed to mediate for Job—one out of a thousand—to represent the man's integrity on his behalf, Job 33:24 to show favor to him and to plead, 'Deliver him from having to go down to the Pit—I know where his ransom is!' Job 33:25 Let his flesh be rejuvenated as he was in his youth! Let him recover the strength of his youth. Job 33:26 Let him pray to God and he will accept him; he will appear before him with joyful shouts!" Job 33:27 "He'll sing to mankind with these words: 'I've sinned. I have twisted what is right. Yet he has not repaid me like I deserve. Job 33:28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit; my life will see the light.' He has made us kings and priests . . .rulers in his name. Starting at the regeneration Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Mat 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Judging everything! 1Co 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1Co 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 1Co 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 1Co 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. Ruling as it has been prophesied previously Jer 17:25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. Jer 33:14 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. Jer 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. Jer 33:17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; And it happened! Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. But: many thought He was going to do it Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Not so! Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luk 17:22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. Luk 17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. Luk 17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. It is only our sinfull nature . . .that is looking for a sign . . . Luk 11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. as God is not selfislhly coming to rule on the clouds while we are watching . . .no He is a servant . . . serving us with his life . . .by which these awfull things will be done By us! As we are destined to do the greater things . . .and not Him . . . Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Sure . .. it will only be the horse which is visible . . .but we see . . and rejoice in: The RIDER . . .riding it Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. JUST LOOK AT HIM! And look at his horse! Not a donkey anymore. Halleluja! Hallelujah! Let us sing!

Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. So . . .being born again is the death to the human being and the start of the godly being Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 2Co 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. God himself . . .living in the flesh of the human being . . and living His life from out of the flesh of the human being . . Eze 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. God on earth and the appearance on the clouds become a manifestation . . .in His child . . which is now His son . . .a grown-up being. And here we find the heart of salvation . . .God alive and man dead and man find Life . . .in The Life . . of God . . experiencing the glory of His Life . . .and earth gets restored by God . . .on the clouds . . .His grown-up sons .. .which has given themselves to a total death.

God created Adam in His image! Gen 2:18 Later, the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a companion that is a suitable match for him." And surely. . it is not good to be alone! Gen 2:21 so the LORD God caused a deep sleep to overshadow the man. When the man was asleep, he removed one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh where it had been. Gen 2:22 Then the LORD God formed the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man. Gen 2:23 So the man exclaimed, "At last! This is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. This one will be called 'Woman,' because she was taken from Man." So God ceated a companion for man. Someone that is his equal . . .and not his child. In this present moment in history . . we find that God has many children . . . but no companion. And we know that true fulfilment cannot be without a family. “And surely. . it is not good to be alone!” And God created for Himself children. This we all know . . .but where is the companion. Or is God destined to live only with His children. . . .living in this “not good” situation. “And surely. . it is not good to be alone!” But we see something else in Scripture nd surely. . Isa 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And we see the growing up of His children. Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: And then? Are we then destined to be still children? And God destined to be alone? No. Surely not. Then we are ready for the grown-up relationship! Companionship . . .because we are not children anymore . . .and the relationship can obviously not be that of children anymore! Son 1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. Love Johan

God in his Wisdom created earth. We are living in it. And we are experiencing human being. . . .being alive in the character of the human being. And then we meet God. And we are born again . . .experiencing "something" that happened but like a baby . . .not really knowing what has happened. And revelations come. And we learn more of ourselves . . .being sinners and we learn more of what happened in the garden of Eden. Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And do we not know all of this. How did we struggle under this. And how did we not confess etc. 1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. And we learn more of the rebirth. 1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. So . . .born from God . . .creates a new Life . . .that of God! Joh 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Joh 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? Joh 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. Joh 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. AndC here the truth . . .so difficult to grasp it needs revelation. . . we . .children of God . . .born from Him . . .a new character . . .not human beings anymore . . but godly beings . . . in the words of Jesus . . .gods. . . The Love of the Father . . .always giving to His children everything that He is Himself . . . .just .. . we need to believe and then we can grow up . . .naturally to what is written. Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Nothing less given to us and nothing less expected to believe and as result . . .nothing less created. And the glory of God . . .given to His children . . .by the act of being born . . . "from God" And so brothers and sisters and children . . .we are of a new race . . the godly one . . .to experience the fullness of the glory of God as we grow up in His Life . . .to one day . . .fully grown . . .ready for the next relationship . . . Isa 54:4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. Isa 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. And: Rev 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Love . .Johan

'According to the scriptures Jesus did not do away with the law but made the law greater. He magnified the law to a spiritual level. He made the 10 commandments even harder to keep.' Amen! So much greater! And now . . . it is impossible to keep. We have to live it . . .every day. The Life of God Himself . . .not to be reached by our best efforts. A total rest. . . .in Him. -

'I really need to work on my prayer-life as it's really in the ruts these days. I don't have the discipline that I used to have or always wanted.' We all have that prayer . . .to reach what we see in the communion of Jesus with His Father. But to have that we need to acknowledge the word. Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: This is done by the Word of God: 1Pe 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: By the Word we were born again and by the Word we grow. Creation power is only in the Word. We and the best of our strife is worthless to attain what God meant for us! So let us keep on growing! -

Prayer . . .our communion with God. The heart of everything. God and meeting with Him. Obviously it gets better as we grow more in Him. The older we get (in the Spirit)the more we understand and the more we can enjoy and do. 1Pe 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: Here we grow till the fullness. ph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: Here also lies the true understanding of man. Only God really understands him and only He can give understanding as we are growing in the life which He wants . . His very own. Here, comparing, what was and what is. . .we see and understand well. And here we come to understand more and more that human life is sinful, beyond restoration. Only one solution - death! The human heart is deceitful and only godly life will satisfy and only the godly heart of God can be the goal of our worship. Only there we live and only there we pray! And only there we find true union with others! -

Brothers sisters and children We all know the law of God very well. And then also the day of rest which we have to honor. And then there is the end of the law Romans 7:6 (ISV) But now we have been released from the Law by dying to what enslaved us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit, not under the old writings. (KJV) But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Also then end of the day of rest. But: For something better. As the day of rest was just the shadow . . .until the restoration. Hebrews 10:1 (ISV) For the Law, being only a reflection of the blessings to come and not their substance, can never make perfect those who come near by the same sacrifices repeatedly offered year after year. (KJV) For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. It was not the "very image of things" As the reality is here! Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. As God is now resting and we also in His new Life. And joy is flowing into our spirit by the Spirit Isa 14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, Isa 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! Isa 14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. Isa 14:6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. Isa 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. This is the reality of the Life of God becoming our new life in the rebirth. He is at rest while we have been in "hard bondage" to self when selflife/self ruled us. But now in His life . . .rest. While we were in charge of our lives we misused our bodies in striving for all the treasures of this world. Even striving to be good - to be god but in vain. We just tired ourselves . .. worked, worried, stressed ourselves to "death". But now . . .in the Spirit our bodies are nourished and and not overworked to the point of needing a sabbath. ph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Our bodies belong now to Him to love and we experience a total difference! The real Sabbath of which the sabbath of the law was but . . . .a shadow. Love Johan
