For the last nines of posting on this blog there is one thing that stands out with that of my sister blog which has a link to this one and so forth back again. It is that GOD by His Spirit has raised those of faith to a higher level of understanding of Him and His ways, one could say that those of this caliber are looking into the face of GOD as Jesus and then Paul did. My next area is sons of GOD and then sons of light.
Sons of GOD,
Hosea 1:10 of 10-11 "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, "'You are not My people (in Isaiah 65:1, Hosea 1:9),'"it shall be said to them (in Isaiah 63:16, 64:8), "'Children of the living God.'" And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel."
John 1:12 of 9-13 "The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming (and indeed has come) into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him. But to all who did (do) receive Him, who believed in(to, as in being married to, agree with) His name, He gave the right to become children of God, (these are they) who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God."
Romans 8:14 of 12-17 with 2Corinthians 6:18 "So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with Him (as He also suffered) in order that we may also be glorified with Him."
2Corinthians 6:18 of 14-18 "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God (our body have) with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said (in Exodus 29:45, Leviticus 26:12 and Jeremiah 31:1 , Ezekiel 37:27; Revelation 2:1), "'I will make My dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. (by Isaiah in 52:11; Revelation 1:15f) "'Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the LORD, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, (in 2Samuel 7:14, 1Chronicles 17:13, Isaiah 43:6 and Hosea 1:10) "'and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.'"
Galatians 4:7 of 1-7 "I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son, born of woman, born under the Law, to redeem those who were under the Law (speaking of Israel only), so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son (Christ) into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God."
Philippians 2:15 of 12-13, 14-18 "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, (in Matthew 5:14-16) holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me."
1John 3:1 of 1-3 "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; (Amen) and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when HE appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as HE is. Everyone who thus hopes in Him purifies himself as HE is pure."
Sons of Light,
Matthew 5:14 of 14-16 (Jesus is speaking) "'You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.'"
Luke 16:8 of 1-9 (Jesus is speaking) "He also said to the disciples, 'There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. And he called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' And the manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.' So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' He said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.'"
John 12:36 of 27-43 (Jesus is speaking) "'Now is My soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.' Then a voice came from heaven: "'I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.'" The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." Jesus answered, 'This voice has come for your sake, not Mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.' He said this to show by what kind of death He was going to die. So the crowd answered Him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" So Jesus said to them, 'The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.' When Jesus had said these things, He departed and hid Himself from them. Though He had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe Him, (look again at Deuteronomy 18:15-22) so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah (in 53:1) might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said (in 6:10), "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them." Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke of Him. Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in Him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God."
Ephesians 5:8 of 6-14 "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon (the enmity remains within) the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the LORD. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the LORD. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. For when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says (in Psalm 68:18), "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
1Thessalonians 5:5 of 1-11 "Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath (having set us free from enmity within us), but to (having) obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with Him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing."
