Bond Servant      “Worth Considering”     10/24/21     From   Ken Smith <><   Kona, HI

A dear Brother of mine, now 90,   Kennedy Brown,  ©August 28, 2020 sent me a Kendal Book he is writing that I thought to send along some of his thoughts today.  “Almost repugnant to today’s culture is the ascribed identity of bond-servant or more graphically, slave. Yet, 28 times in the New King James Translation this identity is valid, even in most instances embraced as an agreed lifestyle and relationship.   In the progress of my spiritual growth, I have been challenged by most of the authors of the New Testament (Messianic Writings) professing the relationship of bond-servant.  As you will read, the motivation to a bond-servant confession can have a mixed genesis. The dynamic between son (daughter), bond-servant and Father are all an ingredient of the ultimate relationship with the Divine.“

“The Message on the Door”  A consideration of Deu 15:12-18, especially vs16 &17 and Matt 26:19     Two servants stand at the Master’s door each for six years has passed through this doorway in bondage to the Master.  Soon one will step over that threshold “free.” The other chooses to remain at the Master’s side—  The portal where they stand, will be marked with the servant’s blood—  visible testimony of his decision. A message on the door to be read by all.  “Bond-servant” it says, an identity he would thereafter embrace— The shed blood from his pierced earlobe forever closing “freedom’s” door.  Messiah too left a message written in His blood on the cross on which He was nailed. Bond-servant, it clearly said—”not My will, Father, but Thine be done.” The shed blood of Messiah made the cross on which He hung a door. A door that anyone who elects to pass thorough must declare themselves Bondservant— the world’s “freedom” no longer a choice.  The true freedom of Bond-servant calls one to the Master’s side, there to remain—  back turned to Babylon’s beckoning.  A message on that door forever written in Messiah’s blood.   

“Six Years in the Master’s House The six years is a metaphor describing some point in every blood-bought servant’s relationship with God. It is a spiritualizing of Deuteronomy 12:15-17–The Law Concerning Bond Servants. Poem two in the Bond-servant trilogy.  Six years ago I entered service in the Master’s house.  I answered an invitation from His Son.  He offered to extinguish a debt I could never pay.  In return I said I would be a faithful servant.  My debt was erased, forgiven, I rejoiced in serving.  And now six years have passed—do I seek freedom to do my will? What have I learned of the Master? What have the years in His service shown me?
Have I ever known want during my years of serving? Has the Master ever rejected, belittled or condemned my failures? Has He ever asked me to do anything for which He did not equip me?   The answer to each of these questions is the same, “No”. I have learned well the lessons of His love.  But yet that door to independence beckons, entices, whispers.  Does my knowledge of Master now suggest I know better? Is fear of my being obedient to His direction justified by my six years experience in the Master’s house? My relationship with Master over these six years is positive, affirming,  ever increasing in intimacy.  Still, do I claim my right to freedom from my servant hood, Or, do I make that irreversible choice of Bond-servant, Forever closing the door to leaning to my own understanding? Do I fear the totality of commitment to permanently place myself in the Master’s hands? We each must face our own six year decision at some point in our servant relationship with the Master.  May the gift of faith propel you into the seventh year where the security of Bond-servant overflows and washes away every lingering doubt.  Page 4 or 8   

My thoughts,   Seems to me that the world seeks,  demands a top down authority run by fear of one kind or another.   “But God has not given us a spirit of fear but of Love, Power and a Sound Mind.”   And the Kingdom of God has established a bottom up authority which is run by love.   And I have been invited to change citizenship by my Creator.   By choice I may elect to become a Citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven if I accept the commandments concerning Jesus as LORD.   And then the world only become my spiritual gym where I can learn to gain spiritual muscles rather then be flattened out by gravity.  Jesus once said, “He that endures to the end, shall be saved.”  Matt.10:22 & Matt. 24:13   So #1, There is an end, #2.  There is spiritual growth available in this world that requires endurance until death.   #3.  It will not be over at death or what I prefer to call graduation as all souls are eternal.  It then becomes a simple matter of receiving a new body or not and the placement thereof.   No toilets or jails in Heaven as there will no longer be any waste produced.

So the authority of the church is Created to be lovingly supportive because it is needed and wanted and, in faith, freely embraced as from our Creator by those who want to spiritually prosper and grow in faith and walk in love towards our Creator and our fellow man.   Eph.4:11-16.

CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST   “WORTH CONSIDERING”     10/7/21, Ken Smith

If you study the New Testament you will find the Early Church was much different than that of our church today.   The Early Church evangelized on Saturday Mornings at the local Synagogue and met again Saturday evenings at House Churches for Teaching, the Lord Supper, Agape Meal and the ministry of the Holy Spirit in power confirming the Word of God that was taught.  Perhaps if we would return to the traditions of the Earl Church as a forum gathering of interaction in God’s Truth we would get the same powerful results.  The Holy Spirit is still here to confirm the Word of God in power.   Paul in 2 Tim.3:5 tells us that if there is no obvious power after a message, don’t waste your time, go somewhere else..  Go where you can experience the Holy Spirit in love, holiness & power.   In Matt.15:6,  Jesus tells us about the same thing.

There is but one Church of Christ Jesus.   If we are truly a member of HIS Church then there is no need to join a denomination or anything else.   If we walk together in God’s Truth and Unity, we would match our LORD’s prayer in John 17:20-24 for unity just fine.   But if a house is a divided house it can not stand.  So membership in the LORD’s Eternal Church is really by coming into the Unity of the Faith and the Bond of Peace,  it is not in becoming organized.   If the deep roots of God’s Truth were shared and believed then the Holy Spirit would confirm with signs following and we would be so busy in the Kingdom that we would have little time for organization.   The Early Church used their gifts and offerings for evangelism and to help the poor.   There is no  mention of tithing in the New Testament or in building anything for that matter.   The Early Church had no overhead as the churches we  have.   They had no physical maintenance stewardship needing constant funding.   All of the house churches were on their own as were the Elders.   But God saw to it that all of the needs were met very nicely.   So here,  we are about working together in God’s Loving Truth to build a little fire in the Holy Spirit and hope it will get big enough to dry out some big wet logs like Saul was before he became Paul.  The Western World is starved for the very truth of God and seems to be getting fed very low cal diet of religious traditions

So how to share God’s basic vision of the Kingdom across to get folks so that they are willing to sell all that they have so to buy the treasure in the field.   Or to spend all they have on Holy Spirit oil so as to have a good light going when the LORD returns.   For lack of a vision the people perish. Folks all around us are being taught to love this world and be comfortable in it, rather than seek the King of the Kingdom of God and HIS Righteousness.  And this is even being taught in our so called religious theater gathering called churches,   Give to GET….  Not give as guided by the Holy Spirit or out of a great love for Jesus and HIS Kingdom.   Or for a Jesus love for the souls of man.   And this is what God does honors

If your traditional church dumps the vain traditions that make the Word of God ineffective that would cause more to be interested and want to find out what you are doing.  At this point in life I am drawn to experience the Church of Jesus rather than to continue to only play church without the power of God to help those in need.

For many years now I have tried to change negative religious traditional theater structures already in existence as in denominations and have not been successful.   One of the reason that the Pilgrims worked so well in the 70’s was there were no traditions to change.   So it was the New Testament, new wine in a new wine skin.   And once people saw that the Holy Spirit was active in power to confirm,  it drew all kinds of people to Jesus.  Therefore I have concluded that perhaps only by starting  as a new ministry with only the New Testament Traditions in focus could we again find the fire for us here.  Once the fire of the Holy Spirit is going it will draw all to Jesus.  And there can be no competition or compromise with the Holy Spirit as to the Pure Truth of God.  It would make the John 17 Unity easy and ministries would merge easily together when walking out the simple New Testament Truths that Jesus gave us.  There is power in unity,  But Holy Spirit Power is only made available in supporting GOD’S TRUTH.   2 Tim.3:5   The Holy Spirit will not support or confirm any of the vain traditions of the church.   God will not compromise HIS TRUTH.  He will not support what we think is good unless HE feels the same way about it.   We can join and compromise with all of those vain traditions and yet it will again only be a waste of time,  Matt.15:6.

A definition of insanity: To do the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.  Until we sort the Good Godly Traditions from the Bad Religious Traditions I don’t feel we will experience the power of a New Testament Church like in the Book of Acts.  I will be putting together a teaching on Basic Good Church Traditions from the New Testament very soon now.

WORD OF GOD,   WORTH CONSIDERING   10/5/21   By Ken Smith<><

Have you ever wondered why there is little or no power of the Holy Spirit in the Church today?  Often folks are sick for years and die early and ahead of the time given by God.  ( 120 Yrs.  Gen.6:3. ) Have you ever wondered why all of the Christian Churches seem to be in competition with each other rather than supportive of Jesus in unity?   Are you one of those souls who has a compartment for religious stuff and another for daily living?   And have pretty much given up on the church as we know it.   It is a nice place to have friends and be social but is it really doing what is was created to do.  Is it really helping us to become like Jesus and lift HIM up or is it just a comfortable place to go and to mostly be told that along with the Biblical history that we are really OK as per the traditions of the church and not to expect too much.   But really, is the church following in the traditions of Jesus and the Early Church of Power that we see in Acts.  With the church I attended for the first 13 years of being a “weedy” Christian I was told that, “The Book of Acts can not be used for doctrine.”  It is a book of History…. ?????   Wondered about that, but they did seems to know a lot more than I did at the time,  1955-68.

So what does the Bible, in context, have to say about all this?   In 2 Tim.3:5, Apostle Paul was rather blunt in a prophesy concerning our day.  Should read from the beginning of the chapter but I will only quote the verse, “For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].”   And again in Eph.4:14  Paul warns us to not be children, “So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of [b] unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.” Good to read Eph. 4:11-16 to get a picture of what the Church of Jesus is to really look like.   And our Lord Jesus also taught on the subject in Matt.15:6.  “So for the sake of your tradition (the rules handed down by your forefathers), you have set aside the Word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect] .”  WOW!!!  “MAKING IT WORTHLESS.”  In John 5:38, Jesus said these words, “And you have not His word (His thought) living in your hearts, because you do not believe and adhere to and trust in and rely on Him Whom He has sent. [That is why you do not keep His message living in you, because you do not believe in the Messenger Whom He has sent.]”  The writer of Hebrews, in Hebrews 4:12, had this to say about the Word of GOD, “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.”

So, any deviation from God’s Truth (WORD) and the power of the Holy Spirit will not flow.   If what we do is to work, what is done, can not contain any vain traditions or we will again be playing church and remain at square one.   2 Tim.3:5   The Holy Spirit can only confirm the Word of God as shared in faithful truth and substance as when it was given.   It is my feeling that the primitive Early Church was on track as per Acts 2:41-43,  5:12-16   I believe this Power is still there for us today, John 17: 20-24,  if we will allow ourselves to return to the Early Church truth, unity,  and love in simplicity,  humility and obedience.   I don’t believe we can make a bridge between Acts that works if we allow ourselves to be manipulated by the vanity of the religious theater church of today and to lift them up rather than Jesus.  Seems to me we will need a new wine and wineskin in the Holy Spirit to see Hawaii come under conviction for sin and to repent and find our way into the power of the Holy Spirit and to only lift up Jesus.   If what caused Hawaii to be lost in the first place is rebuilt, will it not only fall apart once again?  We would like to join with anyone and any church that understands this message.  We need to quit justifying our lack of Power in the Holy Spirit.  If we were keeping the commandment of Jesus and walking in the Truth that HE gave us we would be enjoy writing another chapter in the Book of Acts.  John 17:20-24 and Matt. 28:18-20, “Jesus approached and, [a] breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.   19 Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them [b] into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  20 Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you [c] all the days ([d] perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. [e] Amen (so let it be).”  So we do have the power till HE returns and we are to teach and observe all that HE commanded.  Obviously we have not learned to be obedient in doing that.

Jesus made of himself no reputation and we are to follow HIS example to be on track.   When we are to saturate ourselves with God’s Truth and walk it out in humility.  And then the Holy Spirit will confirm God’s Truth with power to lift Jesus up and draw all to HIM.  Eph. 4:11-16.  The Church will not go home until completed without spot, wrinkle or blemish in humility and obedience.  The Church will become a match for Jesus at the Union, Rev.19.  and in faith as per faith,  Heb.11 For it is not by might nor by power but by my Spirit…. according to our Creator God.

U.S. Condemns China’s Mass Incursions Into Taiwan’s Defense Zone
The United States has expressed concern about the unprecedented appearance of Chinese military aircraft in Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ). The self-governing island said a total of 39 Chinese military aircraft entered the ADIZ, airspace dedicated to responding to hostile aircraft. That was one more than the 38 planes the Taiwanese military spotted on Friday.

Iran FM demands US unfreeze $10 billion in order to restart nuclear talks.   Iran said it has told the United States that it will only consider returning to nuclear talks if the State Department releases $10 billion of Tehran’s frozen funds as a sign of goodwill, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said Saturday.    (By the way, the Qur’an teaches that a Muslim does not need to keep his word with a non-believer.   So any agreement the U.S. makes with Iran is really, morally,  worthless.)

Bible 101 “WORTH CONSIDERING”   10/2/21    From Ken Smith<><   www.trinity-aloha.org

Aloha Saints, Family and Friends,  beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16
Seems the church today is mostly about physical political stuff.   Seems like it would be better just to focus on becoming a light house and lifting up Jesus.  A house church gathering with only a few would be a good start and simply teach about God’s Love, holiness & Power in Basic Bible.  Jesus said, “Religious traditions have made the Word of God, ineffective.”  We now mostly have a “form of godliness with little or no power”, 2 Tim. 3:5 as Paul wrote..     Most folks have had some kind of a religious experience that has caused them to be discouraged about God.   We need to help start a spiritual fire in the Holy Spirit that is like Jesus.   If HE be lifted up,  He will draw folks, seeking light, to HIM,  Eph.4:11-16.   But seems that the obsession with the religious junk of the past that accomplishes little, may be totally a waste of time. We may be trying to graft a living olive branch onto a dead stump.   The world needs to see Jesus in HIS Church,  alive, well and doing what HE did while on earth,  to sit up and take notice and to be drawn to HIM.   We need to take time to learn how to do this.

CHRISTIAN   DOCTRINE 101

The Early church has a very wise saying:
In Essentials, UNITY…. In all else, LOVE

Genesis: The Prophets of God have given us the understanding  from our Creator that HE lives in a totally different dimension than the small time capsule that we find ourselves living in today.  We find that our Creator God had no beginning of life nor end and that HIS dimension is without limits in power or time.  And further that HE has a vision and plan in operation to make a holy family,  Man in HIS Image and Likeness was created potentially to eventually to become an eternal family of righteousness and power.   Adam was the fist to have that potential opportunity and was created as the 1st of his kind with a  freewill in a temporary time dimension on earth in Eden.  We are told by the prophet Moses that Adam made the choice to allow lucifer to guide him rather than the Creator and lost the spiritual life and authority that he had been given.  The Holy Bible is a collection of 66 prophetical notes preserved to help us know how our Creator God has set in motion a plan of redemption for those who are interested.  Adam was created eternal but his body became temporary due to Adam’s pride and rebellion.  And as the children of Adam we all have eternal souls but it is up to our Creator to replace our temporary body or not.  This is based upon our life choices and how we respond to HIS offered salvation requiring faith, love, humility & obedience through Christ Jesus as LORD.  The Creator is not going to allow the earthly corruption & rebellion of man loose in HIS eternal universe.

There are basics of the Christian faith, which are essential for salvation and upon which all Christians must agree.

The Deity of Christ Jesus, LORD:    (John 1:1, John 20:28, Heb. 1:8 9), the Creator God Himself (Col. 1:16. Compare Gen. 1:1). Who “laid the foundation of the earth” (Heb. 1:10 12. Compare Psalms 102:24 27).   (The first to make it through in becoming in the Image of God.)

The Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14, Mt. 1:23, Luke 1:27).   (Needed to bypass the Adamic contamination.)

The Blood Atonement (Acts 20:28, Rom. 3:25, Rom. 5:9, Eph. 1:7).   (To impress on man the results and impact of pride and rebellion or sin as we call it.)

The Bodily Resurrection (Luke 24:36 46, 1 Cor. 15:1 4, 1 Cor. 15:14 15).   (To provide the proof and means for the option for redemption.  In Adam all died, In Jesus shall all be made alive.

The Second Advent of Christ Jesus to set up His Kingdom on Earth and in Eternity (Isa. 9:6,7)

The inerrancy of the Holy Scriptures themselves (Psalms 12:6 7, Rom. 15:4, 2Tim. 3:16 17, 2Pet. 1:20). This is a reference to people who claim to have revelations apart from the Holy Scriptures and which can not be supported by Holy Scripture.  (That earth time is temporary and one day will be no more. ) That only what our Creator God has spoken will be unchanged for eternity.   So among ourselves, we may vigorously debate other items, such as the merits or means of baptism, the validity of various Bible translations, the authority of the Presbytery, etc. Such quests for truth in love are totally acceptable within the confines of Christianity because our salvation does not rest upon these issues.

The Following Positions of doctrines are also considered of importance
God is manifested in a Trinity of, God the Father, God the Word and God the Holy Spirit similar to water as liquid, solid and vapor. This essence of God’s nature is found in 1 Jn.5:7. Love, Holiness, and Power may be seen in these three manifestations of God as in the Evangelical, Sacramental and Charismatic expressions of faith.  But without the balance of each other they tend to become indulgent, sanctimonious and perhaps even a carnival. For more on God’s authority and nature: www.Trinity-Aloha.org   Goto:   “Keys To The Kingdom”

The Word of God became flesh and was born of a virgin. Under God’s judgment of sin, Jesus died in our place and was raised from the dead by the power of God for our justification and He shall come again as Jesus the Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords and His reign shall be forever, Isa.9:6.  Disciples may also be filled with the Holy Spirit and learn to enjoy the fruit, gifts, and ministries of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can give the power to live a holy life and to minister the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven to those who truly walk in faith and love and make Jesus Christ the King of Kings in their lives. Roman chapters 8-12 are supported here. Events are closing for the final judgment in the history of mankind. Those who have yielded to Jesus as Lord will become His brethren in the eternal family of God. Those who reject the Lordship and forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ and have lived egocentric lives will be separated from God’s presence, creation and light and exiled into isolation and outer darkness for eternity. God will not force anyone to come under the authority of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Free will is most precious in God’s creation and God has made all souls eternal. The choice in this temporary time dimension is to learn to want to live with Him in light. To reject His right to be God and King in our lives is to be removed from His presence and His future creation. Jude 11-25

An expanded Christian confession of faith:
I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord, Master, and Savior. By faith in Christ Jesus, I am forgiven, cleansed, healed and made a citizen of His eternal kingdom. Jesus Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law of sin, sickness, weakness and eternal death through His death on the cross for me. I believe in the Trinity of one God: Almighty Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Creator, Word of God made flesh, The Word of God who was begotten as the second Adam. He was born of a virgin, died for my sins, rose for my justification and is coming again soon, in great glory, to establish His Kingdom on earth. I believe in the new birth from above, the baptism in water, and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. I confess that the blood of Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all my sin and I am now made the righteousness of God in and through Christ Jesus. I confess that I can do all things through Christ who is my strength as I abide in Him. I confess that this world is not my home. I confess that I am a pilgrim in a foreign land and I look for that certain return of my Lord Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. I confess that there is but one holy universal and apostolic Church of Jesus Christ and all those who are born from above are brethren and citizens of His kingdom. I believe that the Church of Jesus Christ is being perfected by the Holy Spirit through the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers and other ministries of His Church until all the faithful come into the unity of the faith and the bond of peace and are changed into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ,    ( Eph. 4:11 – 16 ).

Marriage 9/23/21

Marriage (2)    “Worth Considering”   9/23/21,   by Ken Smith<><
So let’s again look through the scriptures for the context of the Unity of Marriage.

Gen 1:26,   “God said, Let Us [Father, Word, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.  A long way to go in getting to Jesus.
Jesus was the 1st of man to reach and obtain the vision of the WORD of GOD in Gen.1:26.

Notice here that God is in 3 persons, Obviously the Word of God, speaking to create mankind but man limited to earth in a temporary dimension of Time and that this was the beginning of a very special but limited process.

Gen.2:7, “Then the Lord God formed man from the [a] dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.   Same as in John 20:22 where Jesus restored the Holy Spirit (Breath of Life) that had been lost with Adam’s rebellion.  Jn. 3.  And HIS disciples received eternal life.

Gen.2:18,  Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.  (So God gave Adam someone to talk to and to help him that was complementary, that is a nice word for the original concept of woman’s creation.  And if a woman applies this to the wrong Adam she reaps much pain from the association.  A woman sometimes marries a man believing she can “fix” him,  this usually is negative as well.   But also obvious is that Adam needed help but not a mother.  Gen.2:24, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.  (Must have been a Moses moment as GOD had said nothing about Fathers, Mother or children in this story of the Creation.)

So then the Pride and Rebellion at the tree of knowledge and the fall of the human race.  When Adam and Eve lost their GOD connection of life through the Holy Spirit and we were born dead, spiritually.

Gen.3:16-17, “16 To the woman He said, I will greatly multiply your grief and your suffering in pregnancy and the pangs of childbearing; with spasms of distress you will bring forth children. Yet your desire and craving will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.  17 And to Adam He said, Because you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it, the ground is under a curse because of you; in sorrow and toil shall you eat [of the fruits] of it all the days of your life.  (So we were born into a cursed world but have the option through Christ Jesus to find our way back into the forgiveness and grace of GOD and elect to go through the process of Sanctification (To be made Holy or to be put back on track..)  But some of us are foolish and only a few are wise, Matt.25:1-13.

Proverbs 31:10-31,   Husband is a Judge at the Gate and safely trusts her (11) And the wife has even the freedom to buy and sell land (16) and run the whole farm.  What a beautiful example of unity.

1 Cor.14:34-36, Only a Righteous man can Roll Model for another man to become righteous.  As it is also very difficult for a righteous  man to teach a mature woman how to become virtuous.

Key Verses:
Eph.4:22-33,  Wives, be subject (be submissive and adapt yourselves) to your own husbands as [a service] to the Lord.  23 For the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the church, Himself the Savior of [His] body.  24 As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.  25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her,  26 So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word,  27 That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless].  28 Even so husbands should love their wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.  29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and carefully protects and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,  30 Because we are members (parts) of His body.  31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.  32 This mystery is very great, but I speak concerning [the relation of] Christ and the church.  33 However, let each man of you [without exception] love his wife as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [[a] that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and [b] that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly].

The ideal is for a marriage to show Christ and the Church to the world.   Men should love their wives as Jesus does HIS Church.  And women should love their husbands as though they were Jesus.  Complete unity is the ultimate destiny of a Godly Marriage.

 1 Cor. 7 and 1 Pet.3 cover much of the rest.  The ideal is for post puberty youth to find God’s mate for themselves and as virgins and to marry early so that sex become a strong loving cement in the marriage.  And that the families on both sides do what they can to spiritually and physically help the marriage to bloom into a vision of the world seeing Christ and HIS Church in perfect unity.  Today we are seeing about 51% of Christian marriages ending in divorce.   And most of our children are living together with no thought of the Godly warnings concerning fornication and adultery.  We seem to be ending the “Age of the Gentiles” Luke 21 and getting ready for the rapture.  And we must also realize that divorce is not an unpardonable sin. Our U.S. culture is not very supportive of a Christian Marriage.  And yet this is the strongest building block for a nation.  

Psalm 127:4-5, “As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city’s] gate.    So children are always a blessing from the LORD.

Every time a society replaces lifelong, monogamous marriage with sexual immorality, that society collapses to the lowest state of functioning within just three generations.  Written by a non-Christian anthropologist who was born in 1865.  The so-called radically anti-family, anti-faith  “Equality Act” bill (S 788) would FORCE pastors to “wed” same-gender couples in their churches, house boys and girls together overnight on mission trips and other church functions, and allow drag queen Sunday School teachers. The alternative would be to face crippling lawsuits or even arrest.  This bill is now headed towards becoming law.  Pray for a national revival of the true faith, once delivered.  And that the Equality Act S-788  will not pass to become law.

Light through Works

Light though Works,    “Worth Considering”   9/21/21   by Ken Smith<><
Light is a word use 329 time in the AMP with 102 times in the New Testament.  In the Gospels it is used 49 times and most of the time it is use to note God’s Loving Truth in a world of darkness.  It is very interesting to me how Jesus use the word light in Matt.25:1-12.  that the 5 virgins without light were excluded   from the Kingdom.  Virgin would indicate forgiven?  But then without oil or light?   I had to ask a young lady to leave our farm all though she was a Christian she was not an example in her work of light.  It made it difficult for me to have others carry their responsibilities and her not.  So rather than part of the cure in light, she was part of the problem in her darkness.  So people really see more of Jesus through what we do than by what we say.   It was by seeing Jesus in Floyd in 1955 lit up in the Love of God that got me into the kingdom, rather than all the words.  Floyd was the custodian for a church on 5 acres of ground in Long Beach and I saw Jesus in Floyd by the way that he took on the responsibility for that Church.  So in what we do in our work, as unto the LORD, is really where the world watches Christians for the witness of God’s Truth & Light.  So how you approach your work, your attitude, your forgiveness, your separation from the world.  In my work in an engineering office in Long Beach, I never had to opportunity to talk much to the other men working there except on the projects.   But as they would pass nudes from desk to desk I made it a habit not to look at them.  That alone was a major witness in the office and at breaks got to talk about Jesus and find brothers in the LORD.  But later as I settled into be a church Christian I learned that it was OK not to be so much in the light and my light started to dim down.  And eventually could say Jesus was LORD but without Him being really lord most of the time.  It was like departing from the Biblical definition of what it was to be a Christian into making my own definition apart from the Bible.  So I settled into being, “generally” a Christian by my standards rather than by Jesus standards.

But after 13 years of up and down, trying to be a Christian and next day, not.   I learned about being baptized in the Holy Spirit and that experience totally changed the direction of my life.  If you will note the disciples received their salvation after the resurrection of Jesus in the “Upper Room” Matt.20:22 and then later they were empowered at Pentecost Acts 1:8.   Same thing happened to the believers in Samaria (Acts 8:14-17) and Paul (Acts 9:3-18.)   Salvation is much different than being filled with the Holy Spirit like Jesus taught in Luke 11:9-13.  Notice in 11:11 is a son doing the asking of the Father.  So like Paul asked the disciples of Apollos in Acts 19:2,   “…. Have you received the Holy Spirit since ye believed?”  Do you really have Holy Spirit oil like in Rev.3:18 (eye salve = Holy Spirit oil) Our Heavenly Father want to fill you with the oil of the Holy Spirit for power to BE a witness of Christ Jesus but must wait on your willingness to become truly obedient. Acts 5:32, 1 John 3:24, “All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan, live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them. [They let Christ be a home to them and they are the home of Christ.] And by this we know and understand and have the proof that He [really] lives and makes His home in us: by the [Holy] Spirit Whom He has given us.”  So as we obey the LORD as per HIS commandments we can be filled with Holy Spirit Power to represent HIM on earth and do what HE did.   Jesus taught this in John 14:12, “I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.”  No power where you go to church?   2 Tim. 3:5

During the feast of Tabernacles in Yeshua’s (Jesus’) day, the temple priests would set up four great lampstands with golden lampholders, which they would light with the aid of enormous ladders in the Temple courtyard. The lighting of these lamps began the celebration of the “Great Hosannah” (Hoshannah Rabbah, in Hebrew). The celebration went on in to the wee hours — with music and dancing and rejoicing, while the beautiful lights lit up the night. Jerusalem was a breathtaking, illuminated city on a hill.

The following morning the Jewish people would recite the prayer for the eighth day of the feast — “Be thou praised, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who makest light and causes darkness, who makest peace and createst all: the light of the world as the treasure of life…” Yeshua said, “I am the Light of the world.”.

God is Light, He loves light, He creates light, He sheds light, He desires light. Lamps with oil produce light, both for those who carry them and for those who see the light bearers. “You are the light of the world”, He said. So the Lord also expects light from and His people. The light of God in our lives comes from His Holy Spirit, and oil has always been associated with the Spirit’s ministry in the lives of believers. Burning oil produces light. If we are spiritual “virgins” because we are betrothed to one Heavenly Husband, we ought to bear His light in this dark world. Yet He has told us that some virgins will not have the wisdom to do it, so it is a warning to us; a warning not to quench the Spirit, but be filled with Him and be the light of the world.


Some of us, though virgins, have been walking in darkness. This could change. The choice to light our lamps belongs to us. The gift of the Holy Spirit has been given to all true virgins. The wise among us will “buy oil” and maintain our lamps thoroughly filled. To “buy oil” means to “spend time” with the One who supplies it, asking Him to fill us up, and to clean out the impurities in our “lamps”. You know what this means for you personally, and I know what it means for me.  We ought to think about the joy of the wedding, and prepare our hearts with His light… illuminated beautifully for all the world to see, and to be ready! At midnight, when the Bridegroom suddenly appears, our joy will be unspeakable.   Blessings,   George

ACTS, DOCTRINE ALIVE

Aloha Saints, Family and Friends,  beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16

ACTS  –  LIVING TRUTH AND DOCTRINE    “WORTH CONSIDERING”    9/17/21

Upon me finding Jesus as LORD and HIM finding me to save me in April 28 1955, I started attending a Grace Brethren Church.  As I look back now, I am very thankful as it kept me spiritually alive but sorry to say it was a small box with very little power of the Holy Spirit and not much freedom.   One of the first things I was taught was that the Book of Acts could not be used for Doctrine as it was only history.  Not even written by one of the apostles.  That upon the death of John the days of the supernatural were over and now we were saved as we made Jesus our Savior and came to church.  That was OK by me at the time as I had a lot of other stuff on my plate in providing a living for 4 and soon 5.   But I was an evangelical Christian and really tried to get everyone saved and become a member of our Church.

But that was a long long time ago and here I am at nearly 89 with a much different approach to the New Testament and especially the Book of Acts.   In fact I see a lot of God’s Truth in the Book of Acts that we need to really feed on.  Not much in the Bible concerning Luke as a physical but seems he followed the Disciples around and certain became attached to Apostle Paul.

So this evening we are going to as a gathering work together chapter by chapter going through Acts to look for living truth from God.   The first doctrine that is really clear is that you can be a Christian and not yet filled or empowered by the Holy Spirit.   The disciple became Christians when 40 days before they had the Holy Spirit restored to them in the ‘Upper Room.”  John 20:22.  So Christ Jesus restored the spiritual life that had been lost with Adam, Gen.2:7 as the spirit of life.  That is why in John 3:7, Jesus tells Nicodemus that he needed to be born again.   And in the Lord’s resurrection HE made that possible.   But even after being born again, Rom.10:9-10 the Holy Spirit has a further ministry of giving power: Acts 1:8. to become like Jesus.  Acts 1:8.

Next doctrine of interest to me is in Acts 1:11 which gives us a hint of the pre-tribulation Rapture as Jesus appears to be alone and not with the army of Rev. 19.   “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.  ( Meaning no horse nor army as in the 2nd Advent at Armageddon. )

Next thing, seems to me, is Peter wanting to run things.  They are told to wait for the Holy Spirit and after they receive power then “ye shall be my witnesses” Acts 1:8,  Speak,  Luke 12:12,  guide,  John 14:26.    So Peter set about to restore the 12 with drawing lots without being told or guided by the Holy Spirit as yet the Holy Spirit had not been given and so Matthias who was never heard from again.   Later it seems to me that Jesus selected Paul to fit that vacancy.  The twelve Apostles are the 12 foundations of New Jerusalem and are seated as 12 of the Elders before the throne of Christ Jesus.   It seems to me that Paul’s name must be among them.  So in this sense Acts is also a History of what happened in reality.  Not that all done was according to the will of GOD.  Like the fight between Barnabas and Paul,  Acts 15:39, Gal.2:13  so Acts is also a history of what was done as not always guided by the Holy Spirit.

Now that is just what I see as doctrine in the 1st Chapter of the Book of Acts of 28 chapters.  In tonight’s gathering I would like to see if we all can read, understand and extract the Pure Truth of God from this wonderful little book of anointed history written by Luke, the physician.

REFORMATION

/0 Comments/in /by 
"REFORMATION"  ++++  TIDAL WAVE of "CHANGE" in THE CHURCH by Andrew Strom   0/16/21    "WORTH CONSIDERING" from Ken Smith,        This article is about why any coming Revival must also be a "Great Reformation" as much as anything else. Many Christians take the attitude that the structures and message and model and the entire approach of modern Christianity is "mostly fine" - and just needs a little 'tweaking' here and there. I completely  disagree with this. I believe God has plans for a large-scale overhaul - at least as big as the largest Reformations in history.    Below are some questions that I feel need addressing:    Does it matter that virtually nothing we do today was done like that in the original church? Our structures, our preaching, our priorities, our systems, our training, our GOSPEL - none of them seem to bear more than a passing resemblance to the Bible. In every way we are UTTERLY DIFFERENT from the church founded by Jesus and the apostles. When you take these issues one by one they may seem insignificant. But when you add them all up - can anyone tell me why we don't just call ourselves a DIFFERENT RELIGION and be  done with it? I mean, we are virtually nothing like them, are we?    We talk a lot about "getting back to the book of Acts" today. But what if it involves removing all this junk? Who's going to take out the garbage? Is anybody really prepared to pay that kind of price?  The rejection? The bitterness? The hatred?    Revival is one thing. "Reformation" is quite another. You can get killed with Reformation. Go ask Martin Luther.    One thing I am convinced of. There needs to be a large "ground-swell" of ordinary people desperate for 'CHANGE' for Reformation to succeed. And I'm not sure that we see that yet. There is certainly the beginnings of it. But I don't think it is enough. And I don't know what will bring the breakthrough. There needs to be a widespread sense of desperation. I think it is growing, but I don't know how long  it will take. And I, for one, am not about to sustain a one-man crusade to keep the pot stirring until then. A 'groundswell' is God's business - not mine.    But I am truly convinced that there must be 'Reformation' along with the coming Revival. There must be a new wineskin, otherwise we will just find ourselves with another 3-year Revival, like so many that  have gone before. Old wineskins leak. That is the lesson of history.  They cannot preserve a Revival. As an historian I can tell you that the most long-lasting moves of God ALWAYS had a strong element of 'Reformation' about them. If a 'new wineskin' was created then sometimes they were able to last for an entire generation. Glory to God! Can you imagine that?    I am convinced that for the last 500 years, since the Great Reformation, God has used each wave of Revival to restore the church more and more to its original state. The first things He restored were 'justification by faith' and the 'priesthood of all believers'. Then in later moves of God we see the teaching of the  'new birth' and 'baptism by immersion' and 'holiness' being restored. Huge movements burst forth, evangelizing the earth and restoring lost Biblical truths. Just over the last century alone, the original  "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" and all the gifts have finally been restored to the church. And since the 1960's virtually every Revival that has occurred around the world has been a full-on Holy Spirit- filled Revival full of healings and miracles from God.    ll the pieces are in place for a last great push - a full return to the simplicity, the purity and the power of the early church. Despite all the advances, we have never seen an actual 'Book of Acts' church  in all her raw beauty, holiness and power. Remember, Jesus is returning for a church that is "without spot or wrinkle or any such thing". I am praying that this coming Revival will see the end of the 'Reformation' process that has been ongoing now for 500 years. I pray that this will be the one that sees the final abandonment of all that is of 'Religion' - and a return to the pristine purity of the original.    When this process is complete, I believe that ONLY THEN can Jesus return for His beautiful Bride.    But all the timing is God's. And much preparation of HEART is needed, along with structural change. In fact, as I have always emphasized, it is the HEART issues that are the most important things.    As I said, all the pieces are now in place. Will you pray with me for one last great Revival and Reformation, my friends?    God bless you all.  Kindest regards in Christ,    Andrew Strom.

CHURCH OF CHRIST JESUS

/0 Comments/in /by
Aloha Saints,  Family and  Friends,   Beloved of Jesus and me,    John 3:16,   12:24-26,   17:20-24

CHURCH?   SEEMS WE MAY BE GOING HOME SOON.      “WORTH CONSIDERING   Ken<><      9/11/21

It is an extremely difficult awareness of 9/11 those many years ago, that we are reminded of today.  But even a deeper horror for the lives lost that day is how many of them had used their freewill to the point of making peace with God through Christ Jesus as LORD?  How many would be thankful on the other side that they were ready to go in that time of last moments?

The Bible clearly teaches that each of us is born with a freewill and an eternal soul.   Our life on planet earth in this temporary dimension of time is given us to learn how to use our Freewill in righteousness and to learn to love God, ourselves and each other.  And to accept and submit to Christ Jesus as both LORD & SAVIOR.  Otherwise we will not be invited into the Loving Righteous Kingdom of God and enjoy a brand new eternal body to house our Eternal soul.   If any soul rejects Gods salvation and the righteousness provided by Christ Jesus, there is only eternal night with total recall of opportunities missed and a soul with no body,  which  means no possibility of any kind of communications.  Jude mentioned it as being a wandering star for whom the midst of darkness is reserved for eternity.  Jude 13:   “Wild waves of the sea, flinging up the foam of their own shame and disgrace; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of eternal darkness has been reserved forever.  The whole little letter is packed with Gods Truth.

JESUS DID NOT DIE SO THAT WE COULD COME TO CHURCH.
JESUS DIED SO THAT WE WOULD BECOME HIS CHURCH !!!!

As far as the Church goes,  of Christ Jesus, what we have now is not that Church.  What we have now is a very poor imitation of the meaning of the word,  CHURCH.  The True CHURCH of Christ Jesus WILL BE powerful in the HOLY SPIRIT in perfect unity and obedience.  You can read a lot in the New Testament of what the real Church will look like when completed.  What we mostly have today is mostly a play church that Paul prophesies about in 2 Tim.3:1-5:   “But understand this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].  2 For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.  3 [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.  4 [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.5 For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].”   And in most so called traditional theater churches today we find the same stuff if we look in the dark corners.  So here are some scriptures to consider in looking for the Real Church of Christ Jesus.
1 Cor. 12:5-31   Many parts yet working together as one body.
John 17:              The prayer of Jesus for the unity of faith, love and truth in HIS CHURCH
Eph. 4:11-16,      The True Church is fitly joined and compacted by living stones, compacted..
2 Peter 3:14        “We are to be ready at HIS return with out spot, blemish or moral conflicts.”
Rev. 12:11,      “In the resurrection, Jesus uses the CHURCH to boot lucifer out of the heavens to bring                                      glory   to His name through HIS Church”
Eph. 4:1,         The Church is perfected by Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and                                                                 Teachers,   So far we are yet lacking in some of the Elders that we need.
1 Cor.14:23-33 The TRUE CHURCH is the people, not the steeple. It is the orderly assemble  of the                                         people      in Love, Holiness & Power coming together to minister to one another in the Holy                      Spirit.  Notice the Acts 2:42-42, The progression..  Last thing mentioned was “Great and Mighty                         Signs were done by the apostles. When was the last time you experienced that happening?

If further interested in the Biblical Progression of a gathering goto:   “www.Trinity-Aloha.org” and then to the link:   “Keys To The Kingdom” And then to “Early Church” & “House Church.”

The concept that we can agree to dis-agree is wrong.  If we are truly wanting to know any truth about God to facilitate HIS Kingdom HE is honor bound to share that truth with us.  But we need to knock, seek and ask and we will surely be held responsible for what we know is God’s Truth.

Think about it, have you ever been to a wedding where the bride came directly in being dirty after working on a farm or in a garden all day?  So from where we are now, denominations will need to go as there is but ONE CHURCH of Christ Jesus as LORD.   Need to find Unity in love.   And that church must become fully submitted to the Commandments in loving humility and obedience that Jesus set before her when here.   All of the non-Biblical traditions will need to be trashed.

First thing in the 1st Resurrection is to receive a new Eternal Body like Jesus.   Second thing to happen is the wages, gifts and rewards that were done in life out of love for HIM.  1 Cor.3:11-15.   Then the 3rd thing to happen, Rev. 12:11 Where the Church with Michael and the Angels of God boot lucifer and his fallen ones out of the heavens, Ezek 28:18 and all this by Mid-Trib. 3 ½ years after the Rapture.   Then as the Heavens are purged of the darkness, we are to become the Church/Bride/Body/Rod of Iron joined to Christ Jesus for Eternity.  Fitly joined to Him for HIS plans for God’s Universe.   4th we then return with Jesus to help clean up the mess after Jesus destroys the army’s of the world gathered for Armageddon.  5th There is the thousand year Kingdom of Christ Jesus with the curse of Adam lifted so like the Garden of Eden.  6th an opportunity of those folks to choose light or darkness with the last war.  7th God destroys the army’s and has a 2nd Resurrection and all dead stand before God for the final judgment.   And then, a brand new earth and the heavens (solar system) wherein dwells Righteousness.  And all who live there will want to be there and serve willingly in love.   No death, no time, no jails, no police, no trash, no toilets, the former things are all passed away.  Too much to give you all the scriptures on two pages but have attached a 11 page paper for more details if interested.

AUTHORITY 9/9/21

/0 Comments/in /by
Aloha Saints,  Family & Friends,  beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16

AUTHORITY (A KINGDOM, NOT A DEMOCRACY.)  WORTH CONSIDERING,  9/9/2021

In the beginning, Adam had difficulty with authority, in fact most of the Bible is the story about what happens when we violate God’s loving Authority (Sowing & Reaping.)  Rom.8.   The difficulty is that the GOD kind of authority is from the bottom up and not the top down unless there is no room left for repentance.

Our Creator is seeking to gather a family who wants to be loving and obedient in humility and righteousness by choice.  There will be no police or jails in the new Kingdom that HE is building.  There will be no waste nor toilets nor a constant war with dirt and decease and bugs.  God’s sustaining energy will be pure, the life sustained by HIS energy will be pure and have no waste.

But In our creation it was needed for us to feel independent so that our freewill would not be manipulated.  As love is invalid without freewill.  And as God is Love to become like HIM we have to learn how to love.    So we could look at a tree and seek who made it or we could cut it down and make it into an idol or anything that we wanted to.  We can seek, ask & knock and find out about GOD or not.  We can be self centered and try to be the master of our own destiny or yield our rights to God in Christ Jesus as Lord and have the help of the Holy Spirit in finding out about our Creator.  We can in pride become an atheist or an agnostic or join a cult or find our Creator and allow HIM to change us into HIS image and likeness (Gen.1:26) if we want to.  We are free to allow our eternal soul to be swallowed up in darkness or in light, the choice is totally ours.

In the creation of an eternal heavenly family our Creator has allowed us a life time to learn how to use our freewill to serve ourselves or to serve HIM.  But upon our death that choice becomes eternal.  So the Bible was given to us through God’s Prophets to share the vision of what our Loving Creator has invited us to enjoy, if we want to.  But HE has also allowed lucifer, (god of this world) to also try to manipulate us to stay as a part of  the kingdom of this world.   As the children of Adam and Noah we have grown up in a dark world filled with wars, hate, lust, bitterness, unforgiveness, debts and a lot of other junk like the movies that we may find entertaining.  And there are many hooks to try to keep us attached to this world.  Problem is, this world will be terminated along with lucifer in judgment and us with it if we don’t use this opportunity of life to change our citizenship.   We need to renounce our Citizenship to this world, and make a whole hearted application to the Kingdom of God if we believe in the invitation to live with our Creator God.  1 John 2:15-17, “  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

And It is not about keeping the LAW, it is about having a living relationship with the Holy Spirit through Christ Jesus as LORD.  Last night, the Holy Spirit, told me to write on Authority today ????  So I set down about 30 minutes ago and started writing and this is what happened and what  I am sending you today.  It is like the Book of Hebrew that notes that Israel never kept the Sabbath,  never found the true meaning of resting in the Lord.   Heb.4:6.   Also Paul in Romans 14:4-6.    One of the main issues with the Jews was with Jesus not keeping the Sabbath.   Jesus walked, healed and harvested grain to eat on the Sabbath.   He taught that the Sabbath was made for man and not man the Sabbath.   It was to be a day set aside to help us secure communications with our Creator.   As Christians we are to be walking in this level of contact 24/7 of each and every day.   In obedience to the Holy Spirit any and every day could be a day not to work or to work.  It is not about work.   It is about learning to be sensitive and obedient to the Holy Spirit.   Read Hebrews 4,  the whole chapter….  It is about the Sabbath and learning to walk in the Spirit so that we don’t fulfill the lusts of the flesh.   We really don’t know who wrote the Book of Hebrews but it sure is top drawer with me as to spiritual information.   If my little  farm is being guided by the Holy Sprite it will be a big help to the Kingdom of God.   But if it is just me wanting to make a name for myself and set up my own little kingdom, it will come to nothing.  So the Sabbath Rest is us really about learning to walk in the Spirit and to cease from our own efforts to build stuff for our own little egos.  “Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it.”  If it is not the Holy Spirit guiding me/us, it will all come to nothing.

If you need some help with any questions, please feel free to get back to me.   It will not be a bother.  I write this “Worth Considering” blog in hope to help you find the Kingdom of God and come in out of the rain and get warmed up by the fires of GOD.

In world events it is looking much like we are at the end of the age of the Gentiles, Luke 21 and getting very close to the Rapture, 1 Cor.15:42-58,    1 Thess.4:13- 5:11 Read whole chapters….

Worthy Brief – September 9, 2021 is well “WORTH CONSIDERING.”   REALLY !!!!
Worthy Brief <worthybrief@worthynetwork.com&gt;
“The first month of the Jewish year begins with Passover. Two thousand years ago, the new age began with the crucifixion of Yeshua (Jesus) on the Cross on Passover! Next, Messiah rose from the dead precisely on day of the celebration of first fruits. Then, fifty days later, the Feast of Shavout (Pentecost) began the celebration of the harvest season. This day marked the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the beginnings of the first harvest right here in Jerusalem as three thousand souls came into the kingdom!

Now, here we are, in the midst of the summer harvest — the harvest of souls, awaiting the great sound of the trumpet! When the trumpet sounds — it shall be the beginning of a new age when “this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality!”

So as we celebrate Rosh Ha Shana or Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets), it’s a reminder that this age is soon coming to a close — that the summer will soon end and there will be no more days to work. Let’s take heed the sound of the shofar and rise to this awesome occasion!”
