Above founds on very, very faulty premise and understanding. "Morning" figuratively introduces and welcomes every creature into Heaven. It is the first domain and comprises the first category of all created beings in Heaven. That is how come there are "sons of the morning" and "morning stars" in Heaven. Stars are angels; Lucifer, as a created angel, remains a morning star in Heaven until kicked out. Isaiah 14:12-9 prophesies about Lucifer cast down from Heaven. Our Christ Jesus, who is better than angels, is "Son of the Morning" because of His excellent name (Heb. 1:4). Like Christ Jesus who is Son of the Morning, all sons of God are new creatures called "sons of the morning". Christ Jesus, the Son of the Morning, can also be referred to as the "Morning Star" because in/of Him are the "morning stars"... angels of God. The Lord Jesus Christ calls Himself as both man (root of David) and Morning Star (Angel) in Rev. 22:16. Remember that Jesus Christ walks in the midst of stars (angels) and candlelights (churches of men). Saints who overcome Jezebel, and do not subscribe to her doctrine of fornication and idolatory, will be given the "morning star" (heavenly gift of an angel; Rev. 2:28; also read vs. 18-29). They will be as sons of God will angels in Heaven.

Gal. 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. The Christ > the gift of Grace > the Law. In the sequence above, whosoever stagnates with the Law and is justified by the Law is as if fallen from Grace and with no effect of the Christ (Anointing). That is the message of Gal. 5:4! Whosoever has the Christ (Anointing) is in liberty and in him/her is Grace made manifest and the Law established. Let us have the glorious anointing of the Christ, having fellowship with the Holy Ghost and with Son of God.

Traditions and doctrine of the Christ do not imitate traditions/doctrine of men (including Jews and Gentiles). If anything, it is the reverse.

The Lord Jesus Christ was teaching about the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom interphases both heaven and earth; by the Kingdom, heavenly things can be done on earth and vice versa. On the realm of the earth, all things are naturally and spiritually bound in/to whom it is bound. There is absolute liberty in Heaven. The Kingdom, straddling both realms, allow for things to be bound or loosed. In the Kingdom, saints can agree about any thing and faithfully ask the Lord for such a thing. It will definitely be done for them because the Lord is in them in the Kingdom. The Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost! Let us ask and seek for the Holy Ghost that, by Him, we can bind and loose as are done on earth and in Heaven. By Him, we experience both realms.

For charity shall cover the multitude of sins Love is the ultimate commandment to bring about the righteousness of God. If sin is unrighteousness, it means that love is the opposite. Righteousness displaces unrighteousness: therefore, love displaces/replaces sin (unrighteousness). A greater (fervent) measure of love correspondingly displaces/displaces the multitude of sins. Luke 7:47-48 is a classic scripture that supports. It declares: 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. Stewards of the manifold grace of God By the Spirit, we receive various gifts from God. Faith, grace and glory, together with their derivatives, are freely given to believers. Any gift remains dormant until exercised with/by love. That is how come faith is dead (dormant) if not accompanied by work. The recommended work is love. Grace/salvation, also a gift from God, is exercised with/by love. Your supply of grace/salvation remains dormant if you do not love. God has ordained that His gift exercises and establishes the preordained work that we must do. Both the gift and the work are interdependent in order to establish perfection: preordained work exercises the gift even as the gift establishes the work. Think of it in this way: a gift of a car remains to be admired but does not take the recipient to a desired destination without being driven. Grace/salvation remains a gift most beautiful and good, but must be exercised (or put to perfect use) by love for desired results. We become good stewards of the gift of grace when we minister grace to the brethren. Fervent love, which encapsulates all preordained works of God, is the way by which grace can be ministered. Let us become good stewards of whatsoever gift has been supplied us.

The Fear of the LORD is more than just having reverence for God. The Fear of God is a spirit. It brings about a spiritual state of absolute liberty and safety in God. In that spiritual state, there are no desolation, anguish, destruction or stress. Psalms 91 describes this spiritual state.

Psalm 5:5 is very plain and easy to understand. It is consistent with the character of God testified about in various other scriptures. Yes, God hates workers of iniquities. 4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 7 But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. So, what does He do with those workers of iniquity that He hates? He warns that their reward is death. His goodness gives them enough time and spiritual material to repent. His grace prepares them unto the knowledge and salvation of God. Then the saved launches in His glorious Spirit unto eternal life. John 3:16 does not suggest or imply that God does not hate sinners (workers of iniquity). In deed, it supports #2-4 above, providing spiritual materials necessary for the sinner (worker of iniquity that God hates) to repent and thereby become loved. It is common to find many believers interpret John 3:16 in isolation of related scriptures, especially John 3:14, 15 and 17 that declare: 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. The way (manner) that God loved the world (full of sinners He hates) was by sending His begotten Son to the world. God

Grace and peace from God and from the Christ unto all! After his first round of affliction through Satan, Job had the following to say: Job 1:21 And said, naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. Again, while lamenting his birth and predicament, Job had the following to say: Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. Do above statements by Job show weaknesses pertaining to the faith of God or were they righteous statements by a righteous man?

Grace and peace from God and from the Christ unto all! Paul is saying a woman (married female) shall receive eternal salvation in "bearing fruit" or "fruitfulness" (a child is a fruit) if they (husband and wife) continue in faith and love and holiness and temperance (mastery of the power of Christ or self-control in the mastery of the power of Christ). Faith, charity, holiness (godliness) and temperance are all keys of the kingdom of God or preliminary fruit that a person brings forth while the course of the seed develops unto the fullness of fruit. Eternal salvation is a gift during the growth of the seed, which is the living and powerful word of the kingdom of God.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not Want It is very easy to concentrate on the "I shall not want" part and relating it to material gains while ignoring its precursor "The Lord is my shepherd." What shall the sheep not lack? Those things listed sequentially in the Psalms 23. Those to whom the Lord IS a shepherd do not lack anything in the economy of His kingdom because they eat at the Lord's table. And the economy of God is different from that of the world; the latter shall pass away but the former is everlasting. So, it is possible for one to have Him as a Shepherd and lack in this economy... for though such one is poor, yet very rich in Christ. Setting a Table in the Presence of Enemies In context, we can see what the good Shepherd does up to preparing a table: He takes the sheep to lie down (to eat and flourish) in green pastures - salvation He leads besides the still waters - drink of the Spirit In salvation and the Spirit, He restores the soul of sheep He also leads the saved sheep to walk the path of righteousness, just like the Shepherd In walking the path of righteousness the sheep fears no evil. Even if the path goes through the depth covered with death, the sheep cannot fear because the Shepherd, who has overcome Death and all evil, is leading the way in the Spirit. The Shepherds rod (righteousness) and His staff (supplies) comforts the sheep. The path of righteousness traversing through plains and valleys lead to the Kingdom of God. In the King's presence, the Shepherd prepares (spreads out) a table so that the sheep can eat and feast with the King... in the presence of enemies for them to see that the sheep eats at the King's table. It is not a small thing to eat at the King's table. After eating, He anoints (empowers) the sheep with oil (six kinds listed in scriptures which are of gladness, for strength, to make the face shine - glory, of joy, for light, and for healing). After the sheep has received salvation, partake of the Spirit, is restored, walks the path of righteousness, obtained righteousness and comforting supplies, eat at the King's table, become anointed - the sheep lacks nothing good at all because all goodness and all mercy follow the sheep around all the days of his/her life. All because of the GOOD SHEPHERD. Grace and peace from our God and from the Shepherd unto all. Amen!

Grace and peace from God and from the Lord to all! Mat. 3:11 and Luk 3:16, using the KJV, reads "...he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire." It is very important to note both agencies (so to speak) used for baptism by our Lord Jesus Christ. From above scripture, we see there are two distinct agencies: The Holy Ghost and Fire. Both can also be personified. Assuming we know who the Holy Ghost is and also who He ministers to (those who are saved), we can also learn from scripture (Heb. 1:7 & 14; also inferred in Acts 2:3) who is meant by fire. From the scriptures, we see clearly that angels are spirits that minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation (those who shall be saved and made subject to the everlasting Salvation of God; for as long as He remains the Salvation of God forever, we shall remain heirs of salvation forever) and they are made flames of fire.

Let us be careful not to add or subtract from what is already written about sin and divorce. The precursor to remission of all sins, including divorce, is repentance. It (repentance) is the "preparation" unto (leading to) the remission of sins. Later is by the Holy Ghost because He has power over all flesh; former is by the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ because faith is in the Blood. Repentance also implies turning away completely from what had been the sin and from its origin. It is best we see it in that light. Grace and peace from God and from our Lord Jesus Christ unto all!

No one goes into a strong man's territory to sack the strong man without first binding him. Here is the light of Christ: He was obedient to God through death that the power of God may raise Him unto the right hand of God. In being raised, He was given power over all: flesh, principalities, powers, angels, death, things in past, present and worlds to come ... that at His name EVERY knee MUST bow and EVERY tongue must confess that He is Lord. By your own admission, you want to be set free - and deliverance is the will of God for you. Also, the righteousness of Christ in above coupled with all power given to Him sacks any unclean spirit and binds them until the Day of the Lord. Even as you have willingly come forth for deliverance, so shall it be unto you by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and no other power, past, incantations, spirits must utter a word or lift a finger against you - as you have desired. In the name of Jesus Christ, such as troubles you go away. May the Blood of Jesus Christ sprinkle over you that you are purged clean of sins and iniquities - both in your heart and flesh! Grace and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ unto you and all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

The subject of divorce and its correct interpretation from the light of the word of our Lord turns out to be very emotional or difficult for most folks. Where interpretations are a dime-a-dozen based on feelings, we must resort to what our Lord Jesus teaches. And He is very explicit about divorce; Moses is also understood to have commanded divorce because of disobedience of his subjects. It was not ordained from the begining. Marriage is the union of a man and woman in the flesh...a reconciliation of two carnal natures into one. It is anti-reconciliatory when broken, hence, hated by God....for Christ reconciles (read Ephesians 2 for basis) and does not put assunder. As hard as it may be for those who are divorced, the teaching of Jesus Christ cannot be controverted or spun to massage human feelings and sensitivities: Divorce is an act of unrighteousness, period. And it is not that such sin in the flesh cannot be forgiven and cleansed; it can be. Let whosoever is divorced know to keep his or her spirit undefiled. For as Paul taught, it better that the flesh is handed over to Satan for destruction and the spirit saved. But we have the Blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse us of all unrighteousness; we also believe in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ by whom righteousness comes. And His righteousness is greater than the unrighteousness of divorce. Even more, rather than judge any one who is divorced unto condemnation, we have the very word of Jesus Christ, which is the life giving and powerful word of God to declare life unto the divorced: Mat. 5:32: But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.Here is an irony and the gospel: The very of word that speaks against divorce can give life and power to the divorced. Let us believe every word He speaks about divorce to receive the life and power from our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace and peace from God and from His Christ unto all!

There is a standard with which to "discern" a spiritual gift. It is found 1 Cor. 12: 1-6. All spiritual gifts must be given by the Spirit (vs. 4) All spiritual gifts must be administered by our Lord Jesus Christ (vs. 5) All spiritual gifts must be operated (worked out) by God our Father (vs. 6). Is "martrydom" given by the Spirit? Is "martyrdom" administered by our Lord Jesus Christ?? Is "martyrdom" worked out by God??? If it were the case(s), why then would God avenge the blood of martyrs? Rather, God commanded in Exd 20:13 "Thou shalt not kill." WE ARE MADE TO PARTAKE IN THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST There is marked difference between being MADE to be something and being given same thing; heirs of salvation are made to partake in the sufferings of Christ unto death...but not gifted to martyrdom. Our Lord Jesus Christ was made a little lower than angels for the "suffering of death"; He was made that way and not given a spiritual gift of suffering of death. Sufferings of Christ were unto a certain type of glory called salvation. That is why is written in Hbr 2:10 : For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. We are also made to conform to the sufferings of Christ, even suffering unto His death: Phl 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being MADE conformable unto his death;Again it is written in Rom 8:18: For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST" AND "MARTYRDOM" There should be no mistaking the "sufferings of Christ" unto glory for "martyrdom" that does not glorify. A man is justified by the righteousness of faith through the resurrection of Christ and not through martyrdom. For there is no work of man, even martyrdom, that counts toward salvation that is of the glory of God. As it is written in Romans 10:4: For Christ is the end of the law of righteousness to every one that believethTherefore, of what use is a spiritual gift of "martyrdom" when Christ is the end (all-in-all goal) of the law of righteousness? None whatsoever! For Christ resurrected after death on behalf of sins of the world that He might be justified (declared righteous) in that resurrection. But a martyr's death is not on behalf of (or for the sins of) the murderer but both against the martyr and the commandment of God against killing. Some, like Apostle Paul and others were/are empowered to intercede on behalf of the Church for the sufferings of Christ, see Col 1:24: Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: Yeah, it is the sufferings of Christ as an intercesion for the sins yet present in the Church...that saints may be raised up in Him unto righteousness and ultimately unto the salvation of God. Grace and peace from God and from our Lord Jesus Christ unto all!
