The cursed thing

True...however you really do have much to say about the "unrighteous mammon and sin" that I was wondering if you can go into the same level of detail in terms of "righteousness and obedience."

Do not take me wrong...I really am enjoying reading your recent works here...you provide some very strong detail to elements I have received revelation from the Lord Yahshua on.

Tatwo...:)

Sure, I have written several posts about the imputed Righteousness of God, and how we are made righteous by our Maker.

Here is a thread I wrote on the seal of God, which is the seal of the righteousness of the faith.

We read in Revelation 7:2-3 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.”

We see a sign of this also in Ezekiel 9:4“And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.”

Before God pours out His wrath upon the world, He will “seal”His servants in their forehead. 
 

So what is being sealed, and how is it sealed? The what is shown in many ways, and the first signs of it are shown in the sign of circumcision, which Paul said was the seal of the righteousness of the faith.

But it is also shown here in Exodus 13:9And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.”

And the sign of it is also shown here in Deuteronomy 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.”

Notice God said this outward expression was to be for “a sign,”meaning it would signify the greater spiritual meaning to come in Christ.

But we see it is Gods words, even the law and testimony, that is being bound and sealed in the hearts and minds of Gods disciples as shown here in 
Isaiah 8:16
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.”

God writing and sealing His words on the hearts and minds of His elect was also prophesied to come in the new covenant, shown here in Jeremiah ….31:31-34“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

It is also confirmed here in Hebrews 8:7-12 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”

So now that we know it is the law and the testimony of God, or the words of God that are being written on the hearts and minds of Gods elect, so how is it sealed?

We are given the answer here in 
 

2 Corinthians 1:22
Who hath also “sealed us,” and given the earnest of “the Spirit”in our hearts.
 

Ephesians 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were “sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,”
 

Ephesians 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are “sealed”unto the day of redemption.

So those who are chosen by God have His words written on their hearts and minds by way of Gods Spirit. 

They have the Fathers 2 heavenly witnesses dwelling in themselves, which is God’s Word and Spirit.

John said He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself”

This is the New Covenant God said He would make with His people, not written on stone or on paper, but God writing His words upon our hearts and minds by the Spirit of the Living God.

Peace and God bless.
