Beloved ones, we heard: “But SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 KJV How may we SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS? This, we heard: “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 KJV And this, we heard: “And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye SEEK JESUS, WHICH WAS CRUCIFIED. He is not here: FOR HE IS RISEN, AS HE SAID. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” Matthew 28:5-6 KJV Beloved ones, let us SEEK FIRST THE GOODNESS OF GOD, and we shall find THAT JESUS IS RISEN, AS HE SAID. HOW may we SEEK HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS? This, we heard: “being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;” Romans 3:24-25 KJV Beloved ones, we seek HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, we shall find WHOM GOD HATH SET FORTH TO BE A PROPITIATION THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS THAT ARE PAST, THROUGH THE FORBEARANCE OF GOD. Let us now consider again what Jesus said: “But SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: That seek we first the goodness of God and His righteousness, we shall find that Jesus is risen, as He said and whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God: being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard: “And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: and the twelve were with him,” Luke 8:1 KJV WHAT THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD are? This, we heard: “But when they believed Philip preaching THE THINGS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” Acts 8:12 KJV We perceive: THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD are THE THINGS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WHAT THE THINGS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD are ? This, we heard: “And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified THE KINGDOM OF GOD, persuading them CONCERNING JESUS, BOTH OUT OF THE LAW OF MOSES, AND OUT OF THE PROPHETS, from morning till evening.” Acts 28:23 KJV “And some believed THE THINGS which were spoken, and some believed not.” Acts 28:24 KJV We perceive: THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD or THE THINGS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD are CONCERNING JESUS, BOTH OUT OF THE LAW OF MOSES, AND OUT OF THE PROPHETS. Paraphrasing for clarity: The glad tidings of the GOODNESS OF GOD or the things concerning THE GOODNESS OF GOD are concerning JESUS, both out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets. For this is also confirmed to us: “And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, preaching THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and teaching THOSE THINGS WHICH CONCERN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.” Acts 28:30-31 KJV Beloved ones, let us preach and showing the glad tidings of THE GOODNESS OF GOD, that when they believed us preaching THE THINGS CONCERNING THE GOODNESS OF GOD, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Beloved ones, let us expound and testify THE GOODNESS OF GOD, persuading them CONCERNING JESUS, BOTH OUT OF THE LAW OF MOSES, AND OUT OF THE PROPHETS, from morning till evening. Beloved ones, let us preach THE GOODNESS OF GOD, and teaching THOSE THINGS WHICH CONCERN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, with all confidence, no man forbidding us. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard: “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? 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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:4-7 KJV Let us consider again the question, that Nicodemus raised: HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD? CAN HE ENTER THE SECOND TIME INTO HIS MOTHER’s WOMB,AND BE BORN? A physical man cannot be born when he is old but A SPIRITUAL MAN can be born. HOW ? A physical man cannot enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born but a spiritual man can enter the second time into HIS JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE ‘s PROMISE and be born. For we also heard: “For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman WAS BORN AFTER THE FLESH; but he of the freewoman WAS (SPIRITUALLY BORN) BY PROMISE. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two COVENANTS; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE is FREE, which is THE MOTHER of us all.” Galatians 4:22-26 KJV Based on John 3:5, Beloved ones, verily, verily, Jesus says unto us, include a SPIRITUAL man be we born of water and of the Spirit, we can enter into the kingdom of God. Paraphrasing for clarity: Beloved ones, verily, verily, Jesus says unto us, include a SPIRITUAL man be we born of SPIRITUAL WISDOM and of THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT HE SPEAKS UNTO US, we can enter into the KINGDOM of God. How may can we ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD ? This we heard: “Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which KEEPETH THE TRUTH may ENTER IN.” Isaiah 26:2 KJV Paraphrasing for more clarity on John 3:5 Beloved ones, verily, verily, Jesus says unto us, include Him the Christ be we born of SPIRITUAL WISDOM and of THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT HE SPEAKS UNTO US, we can OBEY THE SPIRITUAL TRUTH, BE IN the GOODNESS of God. For we also heard: “WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH THAT JESUS is THE CHRIST IS BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.” 1 John 5:1 KJV Beloved ones, a spiritual man can be born, that he can enter the second time into Jerusalem which is above’s SPIRITUAL PROMISE, and be born of SPIRITUAL WISDOM and of THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAKS UNTO US, we can OBEY THE SPIRITUAL TRUTH, BE IN the GOODNESS of God. Beloved ones, let us believe Jesus is the Christ or let us include Him the Christ or let us abide In Him or let us be in union with THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST, and be born of SPIRITUAL WISDOM and of THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAKS UNTO US, we can OBEY THE SPIRITUAL TRUTH, BE IN the GOODNESS of God. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said to Nicodemus: “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.” John 3:3 KJV This, we also heard: “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: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! FOR, BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.” Luke 17:20-21 KJV Beloved ones, we cannot SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD with physical observation but WITH SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION. Let us consider again what Jesus said: “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. 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? 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. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH is flesh; and THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT is SPIRIT. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye MUST BE BORN AGAIN.” John 3:3-7 KJV Beloved ones, verily, verily, Jesus say unto us, include a SPIRITUAL MAN BE we BORN AGAIN, we can SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. For this, we also heard: “having predestinated us unto the adoption of children BY JESUS CHRIST to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,” Ephesians 1:5 KJV Beloved ones, let us include A SPIRITUAL MAN, JESUS CHRIST BE we BORN as ADOPTED CHILDREN OF THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST, we can PERCEIVE THE GOODNESS OF GOD. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard: “Then said he, Unto WHAT is THE KINGDOM OF GOD like? and WHEREUNTO shall I RESEMBLE it?” Luke 13:18 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: “Then said he, Unto WHAT is THE GOODNESS OF GOD like? and WHAT PURPOSE shall I RESEMBLE THE GOODNESS OF GOD?” Luke 13:18 KJV Then, we heard Jesus said: “It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.” Luke 13:19 KJV Let us compare spiritually. This, we heard Jesus said: “And the Lord said, If ye HAD FAITH as A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, ye might say unto this SYCAMINE TREE, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.” Luke 17:6 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke 13:19 KJV “THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like HAVING FAITH, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.” Beloved ones, let us now consider “WHICH A MAN TOOK”? This, we heard: “The slothful MAN roasteth not that WHICH HE TOOK in hunting: But THE SUBSTANCE of A DILIGENT MAN is PRECIOUS.” Proverbs 12:27 KJV That we perceive: The diligent man roasteth that which he took in hunting: that the substance of a diligent man is precious. Paraphrasing for clarity: The diligent man roasteth that WHICH HE TOOK in hunting: that the FAITH of a diligent MAN is PRECIOUS. That we understand, WHICH A MAN TOOK is PRECIOUS FAITH. For we also heard: “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that HAVE OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST:” 2 Peter 1:1 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke 13:19 KJV “THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like HAVING FAITH, which PRECIOUS FAITH, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.” Beloved ones, let us now consider what CAST INTO HIS GARDEN? For we heard apostle Paul said: “For if WE HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH, we shall be also IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION:” Romans 6:5KJV For we also heard: “When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was A GARDEN, INTO THE WHICH HE ENTERED, AND HIS DISCIPLES. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew THE PLACE: FOR JESUS OFTIMES RESORTED THITHER WITH HIS DISCIPLES.” John 18:1-2 KJV This, we also heard: “NOW IN THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS CRUCIFIED THERE was A GARDEN; and in THE GARDEN A NEW SEPULCHRE, wherein was never man yet laid.” John 19:41 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke 13:19 KJV “THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like HAVING FAITH, which PRECIOUS FAITH, and HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION ; and THE FAITH BE SAVED THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.” Beloved ones, let us now consider WHAT WAXED A GREAT TREE ? This, we heard: “And the Lord said, If ye HAD FAITH as A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, ye might SAY unto this SYCAMINE TREE, BE THOU PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOT, and BE THOU PLANTED IN THE SEA; and it should OBEY you.” Luke 17:6 KJV That we may understand: WHAT WAXED A GREAT TREE is SAID HAVING THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH. Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke 13:19 KJV “THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like HAVING FAITH, which PRECIOUS FAITH, and HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION; and THE FAITH BE SAVED THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and SAID HAVING THE OBEDIENCE OF OUR LORD’s FAITH; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. Beloved ones, let us now consider WHAT the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. This, we heard: “A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and THE FOWLS OF THE AIR devoured it.” Luke 8:5 KJV And Jesus said: “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh THE DEVIL, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.” Luke 8:11-12 KJV That we perceive: THE FOWLS OF THE AIR are THE DEVIL. For we heard: “the fowls of the air lodged in the BRANCHES of IT.” WHAT BRANCHES? This, we heard Jesus said: “I am the vine, YE ARE THE BRANCHES: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5 KJV For we heard: : “the fowls of the air LODGED in the branches of it.” WHAT the meaning of LODGED ? According to Oxford dictionary: (of a crop) flattened by wind or rain. "in lodged crops there is rapid leaf decay" Let us consider spiritually. (of a person) FLATTER by FALSE DOCTRINE. Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke 13:19 KJV “THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like HAVING FAITH, which PRECIOUS FAITH, and HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION; and THE FAITH BE SAVED THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and SAID HAVING THE OBEDIENCE OF OUR LORD’s FAITH; and THE DEVIL FLATTER FALSE DOCTRINE IN YOU OF THE LORD. Beloved ones, we also heard: “neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27 KJV Beloved ones, let us not give place to the devil but rather give place to the Spirit of truth, that we abide in the word of truth of the spiritual gospel of the Lord. And we also heard: “EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” John 15:2 KJV Beloved ones, let us be in union with Jesus, that we bear fruit: that we abide in Him: we that abide in Him, He purge the flesh, that we in union with Christ may speak forth more the word of truth of the gospel of the Lord. Beloved ones, let us consider the parable again, that Jesus said: “Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.” Luke 13:18-19 KJV Beloved ones,the goodness of God is like having the faith of Jesus Christ. And purpose shall Jesus resemble the goodness of God. The goodness of God is like having the faith of Jesus Christ, which a precious faith, and gave our faith the likeness of His death and resurrection, that our faith be saved through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ, and said having the obedience of our Lord’s faith, for the Holy Ghost that dwell in us delight good doctrine. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said: “And again he said, Whereunto shall I LIKEN the kingdom of God? It is LIKE LEAVEN, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.” Luke 13:20-21 KJV How may we understand this parable ? Let us compare spiritually. This, we heard: “Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; THE GOOD seed are the children of THE KINGDOM; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;” Matthew 13:36-38 KJV That we perceive: THE KINGDOM is compared to GOOD or GOODNESS. Beloved ones, let us hear again what Jesus said to us: “And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?” Luke 13:20 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: And again he said, to what purpose shall I liken the GOODNESS of God? Then we heard: “It is like LEAVEN, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.” Luke 13:21 KJV WHAT is LEAVEN, that Jesus said ? This, we heard Jesus said: “How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of THE LEAVEN of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of THE LEAVEN of bread, but of THE DOCTRINE of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.” Matthew 16:11-12 KJV That we perceive: THE LEAVEN is THE DOCTRINE. Beloved ones, let us hear again what Jesus said unto us: “It is like LEAVEN, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.” Luke 13:21 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like DOCTRINE, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was DOCTRINAL . Now, let us consider WHAT A WOMAN TOOK AND HID IN THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, TILL THE WHOLE WAS LEAVENED, that Jesus said ? This, we heard: “And Abraham hastened into the tent unto SARAH, and said, Make ready quickly THREE MEASURES OF fine MEAL, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.” Genesis 18:6 KJV That we perceive: A WOMAN, that Jesus said was SARAH. What we heard about SARAH? This, we heard apostle Paul said: “For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by A FREEWOMAN. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of THE FREEWOMAN was BY PROMISE. Which things are AN ALLEGORY: for these are THE two COVENANTS; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage withy her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:22-26 KJV That we perceive: A WOMAN, that Jesus said was COVENANT. Beloved ones, let us consider again what we heard Jesus said: “It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, till the whole was leavened.” Luke 13:21 KJV WHAT THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, that Jesus said? This we heard: “And HIS DISCIPLES asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said, UNTO YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.” Luke 8:9-10 KJV Beloved ones, let us be JESUS’ DISCIPLES, that ask. This, we heard the disciple of Jesus, apostle John said: “And there are THREE that BEAR WITNESS IN EARTH, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these THREE AGREE IN ONE.” 1 John 5:8 KJV Now, let us consider again what Jesus said: “And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, till the whole was leavened.” Luke 13:20-21 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: And again JESUS said, TO WHAT PURPOSE shall I liken the GOODNESS of God? THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like A DOCTRINE, which A COVENANT OF FREEDOM PROMISED AND SEALED IN THREE WITNESS IN EARTH AGREE IN ONE, TILL THE WHOLE COVENANT WAS DOCTRINAL: THE SPIRIT, AND THE WATER, AND THE BLOOD: AND THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE. Beloved ones, the purpose of the goodness of God, shall we liken a doctrine, which a covenant of freedom promised and sealed in three witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Beloved ones, let us remember what we heard: “And he TAUGHT them many things BY PARABLES, and SAID unto them IN HIS DOCTRINE,” Mark 4:2 KJV “And they were astonished at HIS DOCTRINE: FOR HIS WORD WAS WITH POWER.” Luke 4:32 KJV “Jesus answered them, and said, MY DOCTRINE is not mine, but HIS THAT SENT ME.” John 7:16 KJV Beloved ones, let our doctrine be not ours but HIS THAT SENT US. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard: “He spake ALSO this parable; A CERTAIN MAN had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought FRUIT thereon, and found none.” Luke 13:6 KJV What CERTAIN MAN, did Jesus speak ? If Jesus spake this parable, there must be another parable, that He spake about A CERTAIN MAN. In the same book of Luke, we heard: “But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And WHO is my NEIGHBOUR? And Jesus ANSWERING said, A CERTAIN MAN went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.” Luke 10:29-30 KJV Then, we heard Jesus said: “WHICH now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour UNTO HIM THAT FELL AMONG THE THIEVES?” Luke 10:36 KJV “And he said, HE THAT SHEWED MERCY ON HIM. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE.” Luke 10:37 KJV We perceive: Jesus consider, that A CERTAIN MAN, was HE THAT FELL AMONG THE THIEVES. A NEIGHBOUR is HE THAT SHEWED MERCY ON HIM THAT FELL AMONG THE THIEVES. Paraphrasing for clarity: Jesus consider, that A CERTAIN MAN, was HE THAT FELL AMONG THE SINNERS. A NEIGHBOUR is HE THAT SHEWED MERCY ON HIM THAT FELL AMONG THE SINNERS. How may we SHOW MERCY ON HIM THAT FELL AMONG THE THIEVES OR SINNERS? This, we also heard Jesus said in the book of Luke earlier: “And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. There was A CERTAIN CREDITOR which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly FORGAVE them both. Tell me therefore, WHICH of them WILL LOVE HIM MOST?” Luke 7:40-42 KJV That we perceive: A CERTAIN MAN is HIM THAT FELL AMONG THE THIEVES, that A CERTAIN MAN is A CERTAIN CREDITOR. Paraphrasing for clarity: A CERTAIN MAN is HIM THAT FELL AMONG THE SINNERS, that A CERTAIN MAN is A CERTAIN CREDITOR, THAT FORGAVE or HAVE SHOWN MERCY. For we heard our Lord Jesus said: “Wherefore I say unto thee, Her SINS, which are MANY, are FORGIVEN; for she LOVED MUCH: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he SAID UNTO her, THY SINS ARE FORGIVEN.” Luke 7:47-48 KJV Selah ( reflect to pause) Beloved ones, let us consider again what we heard: “There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were SINNERS ABOVE all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, NAY: but, except ye REPENT, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were SINNERS ABOVE all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, NAY: but, except ye REPENT, ye shall all likewise perish. “He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.” Luke 13:1-6 KJV “Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: and if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. And he WAS TEACHING in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.” Luke 13:7-10 KJV What were HIS TEACHING ? Paraphrasing for clarity: “He spake also this MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD; A certain CREDITOR OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD had a debtor OF RIGHTEOUSNESS placed in his labor; and he came and sought fruit of REPENTANCE thereon, and found none REPENT. “Then said he unto the PRUNER of his labor, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit OF REPENTANCE on this debtor, and find none: cut DEBTOR down; why cumbereth it the HEART And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall secure the debtor about because there is hope and drop flesh: and if the debtor dwell in Christ, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut DEBTOR down. And he WAS TEACHING in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. Beloved ones, let us understand this MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Let not our SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS or TRANSGRESSIONS or WRONGDOINGS cumber THE HEART OF JESUS CHRIST, that drop the flesh or disown sin, that we drop our self righteousness or disown TRANSGRESSIONS or SINS, that we may belong to Christ, that we have the Spirit of Christ, for we through the Spirit or the spiritual gospel of Christ wait for THE HOPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (that is, risen to grace) by faith: that we dwell in Christ or we dwell in the spiritual gospel of Christ. Beloved ones, let us be pruned, that we may bear more fruit, that is: let us be pruned of our self righteousness or transgressions, that we may dwell more in Christ or we may dwell more in the REVEALED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. Beloved ones,let Jesus come and seek fruit of REPENTANCE thereon, and found REPENTANCE. Beloved ones, let us repent, that become we the spiritual gospel of Christ, and be found in the glory of Christ. For we heard: “even THE MYSTERY which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but NOW IS MADE MANIFEST TO HIS SAINTS: 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: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:26-28 KJV And we also heard: whereunto he CALLED you by our GOSPEL, TO THE OBTAINING OF THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.” 2 Thessalonians 2:14 KJV To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, let us consider this parable: “No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.” Luke 8:16-17 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: God, when He hath enlightened a spirit of man, covereth the spirit of man with a GOOD TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST, or AWAKE to HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ; that setteth THE TESTIMONY on a WITNESS, that they which OBEY THE TRUTH may PERCEIVE the TEACHING. For EVERY THING is MANIFESTATION, that shall be made manifest; either EVERY thing REVEAL, that shall be known and GO HOME or RETURN HOME. Beloved ones, when God hath enlightened our spirits IN UNION WITH CHRIST, cover us with a good testimony of Jesus Christ or awake us to His righteousness; that put the testimony on a witness OF CHRIST, that we which obey the truth may perceive the teaching OF CHRIST. For every thing is a manifestation OF CHRIST, that shall be made manifest; either every thing REVEAL CHRIST, that shall be known and APPEAR CHRIST. For this is confirmed to us: whereunto he CALLED you by our GOSPEL, TO THE OBTAINING OF THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.” 2 Thessalonians 2:14 KJV To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, let us consider SPIRITUALLY again HOW Jesus said: “And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare FRUIT an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.” Luke 8:8 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and BARE FRUIT an hundredfold: and other MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD UNDERSTOOD BY US IN UNION WITH CHRIST and PERCEIVE SPIRITUALLY, and ABIDE IN CHRIST an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, HE THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING THE WORD OF GOD TO OBEY, LET HIM SPEAK FORTH THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, that he UNDERSTOOD. Selah Beloved ones, let us hear the word of God by THE HEART OF JESUS CHRIST, and PERCEIVE SPIRITUALLY, that abide we in union with Him an hundredfold. And let us that have understanding the word of God to obey, let us speak forth the spiritual mysteries of the goodness of God. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, let us now consider one of the parables. This is what we heard: “A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.” Luke 8:5 KJV And Jesus said: “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.” Luke 8:11-12 KJV For we heard, Jesus said the seed is the word of God. Earlier Jesus spake about the parable: A sower went out to sow his seed. If the seed is the word of God, that means HIS SEED is the word belonging to God. That we perceive the sower is GOD. Paraphrasing clarity for Luke 8:5 KJV: GOD went out to sow HIS WORD: and as He sowed, some fell by the way side: some PARABLES heard by their deceitful and evil hearts, then cometh the devil; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it: and THE WORD was taken away out of their hearts, and the devil let them DOUBT and be ENDANGERED. Beloved ones, IF a sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell NOT by the way side; and it was NOT trodden down, and the fowls of the air NOT devoured it. Paraphrasing for clarity: a sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by NATURALLY ; and it was NOT PREVIOUSLY EXPLORED UP, and God GROWS. Paraphrasing for clarity: GOD went out to sow HIS WORD: and as He sowed, some fell by NATURALLY: some MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD UNDERSTAND by us in union with Christ, then cometh GOD; and THE WORD OF GOD was NOT PREVIOUSLY EXPLORED UP, and God GROWS: and THE WORD was BROUGHT BACK or RETURNED IN of our hearts, and GOD let us BELIEVE and be SAVED. Beloved ones, let us hear the mysteries of the kingdom of God , that we understand the mysteries of THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN UNION WITH CHRIST, for the word of God RETURNED IN of our hearts, and GOD let us BELIEVE HIS WORD and be SAVED THROUGH HIS WORD.

Beloved ones, let us consider again what we have heard Jesus spake: “And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare FRUIT an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.” Luke 8:8 KJV This is what Jesus explained: “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” Luke 8:15 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard THE WORD, OBEY THE WORD OF GOD, and SPEAK FORTH THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD with patience. WHAT MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, that Jesus spake about, that we shall speak forth with patience? This, we heard Jesus said; let us consider again what we heard: “And he said, Unto you it is given to know THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: but to others in PARABLES; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.” Luke 8:10 KJV Beloved ones, let our hearts be IN UNION WITH CHRIST’s HEART, that is AN honest and good HEART, having heard THE WORD, OBEY THE WORD OF GOD, and SPEAK FORTH THE PARABLES, that is, THE SPIRITUAL MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD with patience.

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus spake: “Take heed therefore HOW ye HEAR: for whosoever HATH, to him SHALL BE GIVEN; and whosoever HATH NOT, from him SHALL BE TAKEN even that which he SEEMETH TO HAVE.” Luke 8:18 KJV For we heard: “for whosoever HATH” and “whosoever HATH NOT” What HATH and HATH NOT? This, we heard: “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, HAVING HEARD THE WORD, keep IT, and bring forth fruit with patience.” Luke 8:15 KJV For Jesus also said: “Now the parable is this: The seed is THE WORD OF GOD.” Luke 8:11 KJV And before this, Jesus said unto His disciples: “And he said, Unto you IT IS GIVEN to KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.” Luke 8:10 KJV Now, let us consider again what we heard Jesus said: “Take heed therefore HOW ye HEAR: for whosoever HATH, to him SHALL BE GIVEN; and whosoever HATH NOT, from him SHALL BE TAKEN even that which he SEEMETH TO HAVE.” Luke 8:18 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: Take heed therefore HOW ye HEAR THE WORD: for whosoever HATH THE WORD OF GOD, to him SHALL BE GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD; and whosoever HATH not THE WORD OF GOD, from him SHALL BE TAKEN TO KNOW THE PARABLES, even that which he SEEMETH TO HAVE THE WORD.” Luke 8:18 KJV For we also heard: “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then ARE YE MY DISCIPLES INDEED;” John 8:31 KJV Beloved ones, let us take heed FOR THE REASON WAY OF CHRIST or MANNER OF HIS DISCIPLES: for ANY PERSON HATH THE WORD OF GOD, to him SHALL BE GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD; and whosoever HATH not THE WORD OF GOD, from him SHALL BE TAKEN TO KNOW THE PARABLES, even that which he SEEMETH TO HAVE THE WORD.

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh PROFITETH nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63 KJV If the flesh PROFITETH nothing, we can also say: THE SPIRIT PROFITETH EVERYTHING. How THE SPIRIT PROFITETH EVERYTHING? This, we heard apostle Paul said: “Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, WHAT SHALL I PROFIT YOU, except I SHALL SPEAK to you either BY REVELATION, or KNOWLEDGE, or BY PROPHESYING, or BY DOCTRINE?” 1 Corinthians 14:6 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity on John 6:63 KJV It is the spirit that quickeneth; the Spirit PROFITETH EVERY THING or SPEAK EVERYTHING BY REVELATION, or KNOWLEDGE, or BY PROPHESYING, or BY DOCTRINE: the words that Jesus speak unto us, they are spirit, and they are life. Paraphrasing for clarity: It is the Spirit THAT GIVES LIFE; the Spirit SPEAK EVERYTHING BY REVELATION, or KNOWLEDGE, or BY PROPHESYING, or BY DOCTRINE: the words that Jesus speak unto us, they are spirit, and they are life. And this also we heard what apostle Peter said: “We have also a more sure word of PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no PROPHECY of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the PROPHECY came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by THE HOLY GHOST.” 2 Peter 1:19-21 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: We have also a more sure word of EDIFICATION/ EXHORTATION/ COMFORT; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto A TEACHING that ENLIGHTEN in a NO TEACHING place, until the GENERATION RISE, and the GENERATION GIVING TEACHING OF CHRIST arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no EDIFICATION of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the EDIFICATION came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by THE HOLY GHOST. Selah ( pause to reflect) For we also heard: “But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT.” 1 Corinthians 14:3 KJV Beloved ones, let us SPEAKETH UNTO MEN to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT, for the purpose of abiding in Christ, we do well that we take heed, as unto A TEACHING OF CHRIST that ENLIGHTEN in a NO TEACHING place, until the GENERATION OF CHRIST RISE, and the GENERATION GIVING TEACHING OF CHRIST arise in our hearts. Beloved ones, let us know this first, that EDIFICATION of the scripture is of HOLY GHOST interpretation. For the EDIFICATION came in old time by the will of GOD: that holy men of God spake as they were moved by THE HOLY GHOST. Beloved ones, as we are moved by the Holy Ghost, let us SPEAK THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST BY REVELATION, or KNOWLEDGE, or BY PROPHESYING, or BY DOCTRINE: the words that Jesus speak unto us, they are spirit, and they are life. For the EDIFICATION and EXHORTATION and COMFORT come now by the will of GOD: for we are sanctified of God speak as we are moved by THE HOLY GHOST.

Beloved ones, we heard apostle Paul said: “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:21 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: I FACILITATE the grace of God: for RIGHTEOUSNESS COME by THE PROMISE, then Christ is ALIVE IN FRUITFULNESS. Beloved ones, let us consider what we have heard: “CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM the curse of THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: that THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14 KJV Likewise,we also heard: “For if the inheritance be of THE LAW, it is no more of PROMISE: but God gave IT( THE INHERITANCE) to Abraham by PROMISE.” Galatians 3:18 KJV And we also heard: “Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, TILL THE SEED SHOULD COME TO WHOM THE PROMISE WAS MADE; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against THE PROMISES of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that THE PROMISE BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST might be GIVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE.” Galatians 3:19-22 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: For faith is the reason, then serve the promise because of obedience, after the seed should come to whom the promise was made: and the promise was not ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator but was ordained that God is one, for the law is for promises of God. God allow: for there had been a promise given which have given life, verily righteousness have been by the promise. For the scripture has begun all under grace, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Selah ( reflect to pause) Beloved ones, let us FACILITATE the grace of God: for RIGHTEOUSNESS COME by THE PROMISE, then Christ is ALIVE IN FRUITFULNESS.

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said: “And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And PRESENTLY the fig tree WITHERED AWAY.” Matthew 21:19 KJV “And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon IS the fig tree WITHERED AWAY!” Matthew 21:20 KJV For we also heard Jesus said: “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and IS WITHERED; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6 KJV We perceive: The fig tree is analogized as a man,that did not abide in Jesus, that he is cast forth as a branch, and IS WITHERED.

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. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

For this, we also heard: “For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that THE GOSPEL which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither RECEIVED IT of man, neither was I TAUGHT IT, but by THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.” Galatians 1:10-12 KJV Likewise,we also heard: “The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect SHALL BE AS HIS MASTER.” Luke 6:40 KJV Paraphrasing for more clarity: The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is MATURE shall be as his master.

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus taught: “And SOME FELL among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and IT yielded NO FRUIT.” Mark 4:7 KJV WHAT SOME FELL ? WHAT is this IT, that yielded NO FRUIT. Beloved ones, let us consider what Jesus SAID: “And he TAUGHT them many things by PARABLES, and SAID UNTO them in HIS DOCTRINE, Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:” Mark 4:2-3 KJV Beloved ones, what Jesus TAUGHT are HIS PARABLES; and what Jesus SAID are HIS DOCTRINE. That we may understand: Jesus’s PARABLES are saying HIS DOCTRINE. WHAT SOME FELL? SOME, that FELL are SOME of Jesus’s PARABLES, that He TAUGHT. But WHERE do SOME FELL? This, we heard: “HEARKEN; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:” Mark 4:3 KJV That we perceive: Jesus’s PARABLES FELL on them who HEARKEN. That we perceive: Jesus’s DOCTRINE FELL on them who HEARKEN. Let us consider what we HEAR again: This, we heard: “Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:” Mark 4:3 KJV According to Oxford dictionary, BEHOLD meaning : see or observe (a thing or person, especially a remarkable or impressive one). Let us see or observe A PERSON, that is, Jesus, especially a remarkable or impressive one, that is A SOWER. Let us see or observe A SOWER, there went out a sower to sow. Paraphrasing for clarity: Let us see or observe A REMARKABLE TEACHER, there went out a teacher to TEACH: PARABLES. Paraphrasing for clarity: Let us see or observe A IMPRESSIVE TEACHER, there went out a teacher to SAY : HIS DOCTRINE. Let us consider again what we heard: “And some fell among THORNS, and THE THORNS grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.” Mark 4:7 KJV WHAT are these THORNS? This, we heard Jesus said: “And these are they which are sown among THORNS; such as hear the word, and THE CARES OF THIS WORLD, and THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES, and THE LUSTS OF OTHER THINGS entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19 KJV THORNS are THE CARES OF THIS WORLD, and THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES, and THE LUSTS OF OTHER THINGS. Beloved ones, let us hear again what Jesus TAUGHT: “And some fell among thorns, and the thorns GREW UP , and CHOKED it, and it YIELEDED no fruit.” Mark 4:7 KJV And Jesus SAID: “And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things ENTERING IN, CHOKE the word, and it BECOMETH unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19 KJV That we may understand: Jesus’s doctrine heard by them among the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things , and the the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things ENTERING IN , and CHOKE them , and they BECOMETH unfruitful. Beloved ones, let us not let the thorns grow, choke us, that we yield no fruit.

Beloved ones, let us THE CARE OF THAT SPIRITUAL WORLD, and THE GOOD FAITH OF RICHES OF GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the OBEDIENCE of ONE THING ENTERING IN , and FREE us, and we BECOMETH FRUITFUL. Beloved ones, let us UNDERSTAND Jesus’s doctrine AMONG THE CARE OF THAT SPIRITUAL WORLD, and THE GOOD FAITH OF RICHES OF GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the OBEDIENCE of ONE THING (THE WORD OF TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL or THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST). Beloved ones, let us consider SPIRITUALLY: “And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.” Mark 4:20 KJV Beloved ones, let us understand CARE OF THAT SPIRITUAL WORLD IN THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, receive THE GOOD FAITH OF RICHES OF GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, and obey by SPEAKING FORTH THE SPIRITUAL GOSPEL OF CHRIST, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred, for these are we which are sown on good ground by JESUS, our SOWER.

This, we heard Jesus said: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU.” John 15:1-3 KJV Beloved ones, if out of THE (STONY or OLD) HEART proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies, we can also consider the opposite to be true: “For out of THE (NEW) HEART proceed righteous thoughts, joy, faithfulness, chastity, gifts, true witness, reverence: these are THE THINGS which SANCTIFY a man: that to eat with wash SPIRITUAL hands, that is, to receive THE SPIRITUAL WORD OF TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL, that is, to receive THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST SANCTIFY a man. For this, we also heard apostle Paul said: “This only would I learn of you, RECEIVED ye THE SPIRIT by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH?” Galatians 3:2 KJV Beloved ones, let us RECEIVE THE SPIRIT, that is, THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAK UNTO US by THE HEARING OF FAITH, that is, THE HEARING OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. For we also heard: “But they have not all obeyed THE GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our REPORT? So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.” Romans 10:16-17 KJV Beloved ones, by hearing THE WORD OF GOD, that is, THE REPORT or THE GOSPEL, FAITH of JESUS CHRIST come, that we believe He loved us and gave Himself for us, that is, THE GRACE OF GOD IN TRUTH.

For out of THE NEW SPIRITUAL HEART proceed righteous thoughts, joy, faithfulness, chastity, gifts, true witness, reverence: these are THE THINGS which SANCTIFY US IN THE NEW SPIRITUAL MAN ( CHRIST): that to receive THE SPIRITUAL GOSPEL OF CHRIST SANCTIFY US IN HIM. For this is confirmed unto us: “who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and PURIFY UNTO HIMSELF a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Titus 2:14 KJV And we also heard: “that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water BY THE WORD,” Ephesians 5:26 KJV Beloved ones, faith of Jesus Christ come, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and PURIFY UNTO HIMSELF a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Beloved ones, we heard: “But THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 KJV How may we understand what apostle Paul said about THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT? Let us hear from him from the beginning: “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Galatians 5:16-24 KJV Beloved ones, let us consider again what apostle Paul said: “This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16 KJV How may we walk in the Spirit? This, we heard our teacher Jesus said: “It is THE SPIRIT that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, they are SPIRIT, and they are life.” John 6:63 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity for Galatians 5:16 KJV This I say then, Walk in THE WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAK UNTO YOU, and ye shall fulfil the OBEDIENCE of the SPIRIT. Then we heard: “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: SO THAT YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD.” Galatians 5:17 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit (OBEDIENCE) against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. How we can DO THE THINGS THAT we WOULD ? Paraphrasing for clarity: the OBEDIENCE of the SPIRIT: so that we can DO THE THINGS THAT we WOULD. Paraphrasing for more clarity: the OBEDIENCE of the THE WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAK UNTO us: so that we can DO THE THINGS THAT we WOULD. Then we heard: “But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.” Galatians 5:18 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: But if ye be led of THE WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAK UNTO YOU, ye are under THE PROMISE. Why I say “THE PROMISE”. For this, we also heard: “For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of PROMISE: but God gave it to Abraham by PROMISE.” Galatians 3:18 KJV And we also heard: “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that THE PROMISE by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.” Galatians 3:22 KJV Then we heard: “Now THE WORKS OF THE FLESH are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:19-23 KJV Beloved ones, apostle Paul compare THE WORKS OF THE FLESH with THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, which are opposite or contrary one to another. For he said: “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” Galatians 5:17 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: the OBEDIENCE of the SPIRIT: so that we can DO THE THINGS THAT we WOULD. Paraphrasing for more clarity: the obedience of the Spirit: so that we can do THE THINGS ( OF THE SPIRIT), that is, THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, THAT we WOULD. Paraphrasing for more clarity: the obedience of the Spirit: so that we can DO the fruit of the Spirit, that is: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE, THAT we would. For we heard: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, THAT THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” Galatians 5:19-21 KJV Beloved ones, the obedience of the Spirit: so that we can do the things ( of the Spirit), that is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: FOR SUCH HERE IS THE PROMISE, THAT we would: INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Then we heard: “And they that are Christ's HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS.” Galatians 5:24 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: And they that are Christ's HAVE OBEYED THE SPIRIT WITH INCLINATION TO THE SPIRIT AND LOVE OF THE SPIRIT. Beloved ones, let us paraphrase what apostle Paul have said Galatians 5:19-23 KJV: “This I say then, Walk in the THE WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAK UNTO YOU, and ye shall fulfil the OBEDIENCE of the SPIRIT. For the OBEDIENCE of the SPIRIT: so that ye can DO THE THINGS THAT ye WOULD. That be ye led of the Spirit, ye are under THE PROMISE. Now the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. That the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: FOR SUCH HERE IS THE PROMISE. And they that are Christ's HAVE OBEYED THE SPIRIT WITH INCLINATION TO THE SPIRIT AND LOVE OF THE SPIRIT.” Beloved ones, let us do the things of the Spirit, that we would: inherit the kingdom of God. Beloved ones, let us do the things of the SPIRITUAL words that Jesus speaks unto us, that we would: inherit the kingdom of God. Beloved ones, let us DO: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, that we would: inherit the kingdom of God. Beloved ones, let us SPEAK THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, that we would: inherit the kingdom of God. Why I say: “THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST” For this, we heard: “For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that THE GOSPEL which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither RECEIVED IT of man, neither was I TAUGHT IT, but by THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.” Galatians 1:10-12 KJV Beloved ones, let us walk in the SPIRITUAL words that Jesus speaks unto us, that is, THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, we shall fulfill the obedience of the Spirit: so that we can do the things of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: for such here is the promise, that we would inherit THE GOODNESS OF GOD. For we that are Christ’shave obeyed the SPIRITUAL words that Jesus speaks unto us with inclination of the Spirit and love of the Spirit. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard: “THE FRUIT of the RIGHTEOUS is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30 KJV How may we understand this proverb? For we heard: “The PROVERBS of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; To perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion.” Proverbs 1:1-4 KJV We perceive a proverb, that we may know wisdom and instruction, that we may perceive the words of understanding, that we may receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, and judgment, and equity, that we may receive subtilty and knowledge and discretion. For we also heard: “To understand a proverb, and THE INTERPRETATION; The WORDS of the wise, and their dark SAYINGS.” Proverbs 1:6 KJV Let us INTERPRET what we have heard: “THE FRUIT of the RIGHTEOUS is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30 KJV How may we know wisdom and instruction? For we heard: “Which things also we speak, not in the words which MAN’s WISDOM teacheth, BUT WHICH THE HOLY GHOST TEACHETH; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” 1 Corinthians 2:13 KJV That we may interpret the proverb rightly, we must NOT interpret in the words which MAN’s WISDOM teacheth, BUT WHICH THE HOLY GHOST TEACHETH; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. That we may know the wisdom of God the Holy Ghost and instruction of the Holy Ghost, that is His teaching. Let us perceive the SPIRITUAL words of understanding by comparing spiritual things with spiritual, that we may receive the SPIRITUAL instruction of wisdom, Justice, and judgment, and equity, that we may receive subtilty ( that is something that is hard to understand), that SPIRITUAL knowledge and SPIRITUAL discretion. Beloved ones, let us consider SPIRITUALLY what we have heard: “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30 KJV What is THE THE FRUIT of THE RIGHTEOUS? That we heard: The fruit of the righteous is A TREE OF LIFE. A TREE OF LIFE, a tree that bears life. This, we heard Jesus said unto His disciples: “IT is THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH; the flesh profiteth nothing: THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.” John 6:63 KJV THE TREE OF LIFE is THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH, that is the Spirit that gives life. THE TREE OF LIFE is THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT Jesus SPEAK UNTO us, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. That we may understand: THE FRUIT of the RIGHTEOUS is THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT Jesus SPEAK UNTO us, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. Selah ( Reflect to pause) Beloved ones, let us consider SPIRITUALLY what we have heard: “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30 KJV What is THE FRUIT ? That we heard: the fruit of the righteous That we understand: The fruit belonging to the righteous, that is THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS ? That we consider SPIRITUALLY: THE RIGHTEOUSNESS, that is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. For we heard: “For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for IT is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For THEREIN is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 KJV Beloved ones,the righteousness of God revealed from JESUS’s FAITH to OUR FAITH. WHERE is the righteousness of God revealed from JESUS’s FAITH to OUR FAITH ? THEREIN is THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST,that is THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT Jesus SPEAK UNTO us, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. Selah ( Reflect to pause) Beloved ones, let us consider SPIRITUALLY what we have heard: “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; AND HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE.” Proverbs 11:30 KJV Beloved ones, for we heard: “but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the power of God, and THE WISDOM OF GOD.” 1 Corinthians 1:24 KJV For CHRIST is HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE. How do CHRIST WINNETH SOULS? This, we heard: “For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for IT is THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For THEREIN is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 KJV Beloved ones, Christ winneth souls by THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Beloved ones, Christ winneth souls by THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH. Beloved ones, Christ winneth souls by THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT He SPEAKS UNTO us, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. Selah ( Reflect to pause) For we heard: “The just shall live by faith.” How may we be THE JUST that shall live by faith? This, we heard: “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.” Galatians 2:20 KJV Beloved ones, CHRIST’s FAITH or JESUS CHRIST’s FAITH or THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, is that He WHO LOVED us, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR us. For this, we also heard: “For THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGETH SALVATION hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR US, that he might REDEEM US from all iniquity, and PURIFY UNTO himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Titus 2:11-14 KJV Beloved ones, For THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGETH SALVATION hath appeared to all men, that is THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Beloved ones, For THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGETH SALVATION hath appeared to all men, that is THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT CHRIST SPEAKS UNTO us, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. Beloved ones, let us BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for IT is THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION to us that believe. For THEREIN is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH. For we shall live by THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED US, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR US, that He might REDEEM US from all iniquity, and PURIFY UNTO himself a peculiar people, zealous of good SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS. To God the Father all the glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard: “And he said unto them, Take heed WHAT YE HEAR: with WHAT measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: AND UNTO YOU THAT HEAR SHALL MORE BE GIVEN.” Mark 4:24 KJV Let us consider again what our Lord Jesus taught: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15 KJV “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Matthew 7:16 KJV “Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.” Matthew 7:17 KJV “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” Matthew 7:18 KJV “Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 7:19 KJV “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20 KJV Why did Jesus talk about FALSE PROPHETS and RAVENING WOLVES then He talked about FRUIT? For we heard Jesus talked about GRAPES OF THORNS, FIGS OF THISTLES and He also talked about a CORRUPT TREE or EVIL FRUIT. For our Lord and teacher Jesus said: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: Be cautious and alert to the dangers of false teachers or false proclaimer of the will of God or those who say that ( a specified thing) will happen in the future, that are false which hide malicious intent, for inwardly they are greedy, violent, and devouring people. Then we heard: “Ye shall know THEM by THEIR FRUITS. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Matthew 7:16 KJV That we perceive THEM are FALSE PROPHETS and RAVENING WOLVES and THEIR FRUITS are that THEY SPEAK FORTH FALSE TEACHING and FALSE will of God and FALSEHOOD about THE FUTURE. What is the answer to the question: Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? No. Men gather NOT or save NOT GRAPES OF THORNS but men save GRAPES OF WHOLENESS. Men gather NOT or save NOT FIGS OF THISTLES but men save FIGS OF PLEASANTNESS or FIGS OF GOOD TESTIMONIES. Then we heard: “Even so every GOOD tree bringeth forth GOOD fruit; but a CORRUPT tree bringeth forth EVIL fruit.” Matthew 7:17 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: All the same every GOOD tree bringeth forth GOOD fruit. Paraphrasing for more clarity: All the same every man placed the GOOD word of God by the Heavenly Father in his or her heart speak forth GOOD teaching or GOOD will of God or GOOD prophecy that are TRUE. Selah ( reflect to pause) but a CORRUPT tree bringeth forth EVIL fruit. Paraphrasing for clarity: but a man placed the CORRUPTED word by THE DEVIL in his or her heart speak forth EVIL TEACHING, EVIL will, or EVIL PROPHECY that are FALSE. Then we heard: “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” Matthew 7:18 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: A GOOD man cannot speak forth EVIL TEACHING, EVIL will, or EVIL PROPHECY that are FALSE, neither can a CORRUPT man speak forth GOOD teaching or GOOD will of God or GOOD prophecy that are TRUE. Why do Jesus speak only A GOOD TREE ? Why NOT many GOOD TREES? This, we heard: “I am THE VINE, ye are THE BRANCHES: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5 KJV Beloved ones, let us abide in Jesus Christ and we in Him, the same bringeth much fruit, that we speak forth THE WORD OF TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL or THE TRUE HOPE. Then we heard Jesus said: “Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 7:19 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: Every man that speak not forth THE WORD OF TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL or TRUE HOPE is hewn down ( is cut down or fell), and cast into the fire ( or helplessness). For we also heard Jesus said: “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” John 15:2 KJV “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6 KJV Beloved ones, let us abide in Jesus, for we shall be gathered or saved as sanctified, that is flourishing; and men (or angels) gather (or save) us and enhance us into the living waters (or living spirits) and we are quenched from helplessness,for we are helped. Next, Jesus said: “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: For this reason by THEIR WORKS OF INIQUITY, that is CONVERSATION OF INIQUITY or WORKS of GOODNESS, that is CONVERSATION OF GOODNESS you shall know THEM. For this, we heard: “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: And to him that ordereth HIS CONVERSATION ARIGHT will I shew THE SALVATION OF GOD.” Psalm 50:23 KJV “among whom also we all had our CONVERSATION in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” Ephesians 2:3 KJV Beloved ones, let us order our conversation aright will He show the salvation of God. Beloved ones, let us converse now in the obedience of the Spirit, fulfilling the desires of the the Holy Spirit and of the spiritual mind, for we are by nature the children of pleasantness, even as others in Christ. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, let us consider what we have heard Jesus have said: “For out of THE HEART proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: these are the things which DEFILE a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.” Matthew 15:19-20 KJV WHAT HEART did Jesus say? This, we heard: “Then came to Jesus SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, which were of Jerusalem, SAYING, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD BY YOUR TRADITION?” Matthew 15:1-3 KJV For we also heard: “Cast away from you all your TRANSGRESSIONS, whereby ye HAVE TRANSGRESSED; and make you A NEW HEART and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?” Ezekiel 18:31 KJV If we have transgressed, let us cast away from us all our TRANSGRESSIONS, that we lose OLD HEART, for the Lord God make us A NEW HEART and a new spirit. For we also heard the Lord God said: “A NEW HEART also will I give you, and A NEW SPIRIT will I put within you: and I will take away THE STONY HEART out of your flesh, and I will give you AN HEART of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26 KJV Beloved ones, let us consider that the Lord God who WILL GIVE us A NEW HEART and a new spirit will He put within us: and He WILL TAKE AWAY THE STONY HEART out of our flesh, and He WILL GIVE us AN HEART of flesh. How will the Lord God TAKE AWAY THE STONY HEART out of our flesh? Previously, we heard: “Then WILL I SPRINKLE CLEAN WATER UPON you, and YE SHALL BE CLEAN: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.” Ezekiel 36:25 KJV WHAT CLEAN WATER will the Lord God SPRINKLE ? This, we heard Jesus said: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. NOW YE ARE CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU.” John 15:1-3 KJV Beloved ones, let us be branch, that be joined in union with Jesus, that bear fruit, that we bear fruit of GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, for He purge our SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS or TRANSGRESSIONS, that we speak forth the word of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. For we heard: “for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye HEARD before IN THE WORD OF THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL; 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:” Colossians 1:5-6 KJV Let us consider again what Jesus said: NOW YE ARE CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU.” John 15:1-3 KJV Paraphrasing for clarity: “Now we are clean through THE WORD (OF THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL) which Jesus have spoken unto us.” Paraphrasing for more clarity: “Now we are clean through THE GRACE OF GOD IN TRUTH which Jesus have spoken unto us.” To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen
