The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 15.9 wisdom

We are looking into the Spirit indwelling our spirit as believers, which sets Christ ones apart from the rest of the world. This morning while looking at my Face book account I stated this to a post, Christianity is a living relationship with the Holy Creator resident within His people not just among them. Each individual expresses the Creators likeness and are One with Him. While Islam and other such religions are religions of death, because they depend on the workings of man by his flesh, in does and do not's of religious bondage's. Today I will look at our deepest desires being satisfied by Spiritual Fullness.

Spiritual Fullness, that satisfies our deepest needs:

The Overflowing of the Cup,

Psalm 23:5 of 4-6 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever."

Fullness of Blessing,

Malachi 3:10 of 8-15 with Matthew 5:6 "Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me. But you say, 'How have we robbed You?' In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe (Romans 12:1-3) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house. And thereby put Me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that [it] he will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the LORD of hosts. Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the LORD of hosts. 'Your words have been hard against Me,' says the LORD. But you say, "How have we spoken against you?" You have said, "It is vain to serve GOD. What is the profit of our keeping His charge or of walking as in mourning before the LORD of hosts? And now we call the arrogant blessed. Evildoers not only prosper but they put God to the test and they escape."



Matthew 5:6 (Jesus is speaking) "'Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.'"

Fullness of Joy,

John 15:11 of  1-11 and Romans 15:29 (Jesus is speaking) "'I am the true Vine (Psalm 80:8 of 8-11; Isaiah 5:1 of 1-2; Ezekiel 19:10-11 of 1-14), and My Father is the vine-dresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit HE takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit HE prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (Deuteronomy 18:18-20 of 15-22) By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples (one who learns and has divine understanding). As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Abide in My (His) love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My (His) love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His Love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.'"

Romans 15:29 of 14-21, 22-29 "I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another. But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of GOD, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by His Holy Spirit. In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of GOD—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation, but as it is written (by Isaiah in 52:15 of 13-15), "Those who have never been told of Him will see, and those who have never heard will understand."
This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you. But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you, I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. For they were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected, I will leave for Spain by way of you. I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ."

Fullness of GOD,

Ephesians 5:18 of 15-24 "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the LORD God is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be (being) filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the LORD with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to GOD the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the LORD. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, His body, and is Himself its Savior. Now as the church (as Christ is the husband of His Church) submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands."



Fullness of Wisdom,

Colossians 1:9 of 9-14, 15 "And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding (the hidden question of Matthew 11:29 of 28-30), so as to walk in a manner worthy of the LORD, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of GOD. May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image (a shadow) of the invisible GOD, the firstborn (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7, 18-22) of all creation."


Fullness of Christ,

John 1:16 of 14-18 "The Word (of Promise in Genesis 1:26-31, 3:15) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about Him, and cried out, "This was He of Whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because He was before me.'") For of His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the (Mosaic) Law was given through Moses; grace and truth are realized through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen GOD; the only GOD, Who is at the Father's side, He has made Him known."

Ephesians 1:22-23 of 3-14, 15-2:10 "Blessed be GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as HE chose us in Him before the foundation (Genesis 2) of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love HE predestined (in Genesis 1:26-31) us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His (plan and purpose) Will, to the praise of His glorious grace, with which HEe has blessed us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which HE lavishes upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of His Will, according to His purpose, which HE set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth. In Him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him Who works all things according to the counsel of His will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, Who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of His glory.
For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the GOD of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which HE has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His great might that HE worked in Christ when HE raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. For HE put all things under His feet and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in All. And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked (labored), following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But GOD, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which HE loves us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages HE might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."




Ephesians 4:13 of 7-16 "For grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore HE said (by David in Psalm 68:18; as seen in Matthew 27:51-54), "When He ascended on high He led a host of captives, and He gave gifts to men (this being in Acts 2)." (In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that He had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? He Who descended is the one Who also ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. Ephesians 1:22-23) And He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of (religions) doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. But rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him Who is the head (again we have Matthew 11:29 of 28-30), into Christ, from Whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."







Colossians 1:19 of 13-20; 2:9 "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image (shadow) of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. And HE is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of GOD was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross."

Colossians 2:9 of 6-7, 8-15 "Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the LORD, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world (in mans religions), and not according to Christ. For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in Him, Who is the head of all rule and authority. In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh (the foreskin, seed covering of our heart), by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism (into His bodily water and blood in His death), in (through) which you were also raised with Him through faith in the powerful working of GOD, Who raised Him from the dead. And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your (hearts) flesh, GOD made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt (in the law of sin and death) that stood against us with its legal demands. This HE set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him."

The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 15.8 wisdom

By way of reminder we are looking into the "revelation" of verse 3 of Ephesians 3's mystery and the workings of GOD restored to the human heart as the anointing. Paul makes reference of this in his letters to Timothy as a means of telling Timothy to allow GOD by His anointing to capitalize on the Messiah in him. For anywhere we find the reference to the anointing it is always a reference to the Messiah-Christ. This understood our next subject is the dwelling of Christ within all who will receive Him, that is to say receive the Spirit of GOD as Jesus Himself did at His baptism by John. And simultaneously the heaven opened and John with Jesus heard the Father bear witness of this transformation of Jesus to being the anointed Spirit or Messiah-Christ now in man's flesh again. Now it do well to understand that where we find law used it makes reference to the universal of  Genesis 3 in the knowledge of the tree of good and evil, this law being sin and death. While the Jew (who lives among the Hebrews) is under both this law and the curse of the Law of Moses.


Christ's Indwelling: 

Revealed in the Coming of the Holy Spirit,

John 14:20 of 18-24 (Jesus is speaking) "'I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. Whoever has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.' Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered him, 'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and WE (Elohim) will come to him and make Our home with him. Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not Mine but the Father's Who sent Me.'" (Deuteronomy 16:18-20 of 15-22)


Demonstrates to the World Christ's Mission,




John 17:23 of 20-24 and Romans 8:10 (Jesus is speaking) "'I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word, that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. The glory that You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one even as We are One, I in them and You in Me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You love Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, may be with Me where I am, to see My glory that You have given Me because You loved Me (in them) before the foundation of the world.'"





Romans 8:10 of 8, 9-11, 12-17 "Those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD.
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of GOD dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. For if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit (signifying mans spirit now) is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of Him (GOD) Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, HE Who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.
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 universal law and for the Jew the Mosaic Law) 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) in order that we may also be glorified with Him."

The old life dies that the New may Live,


Galatians 2:20 of 15-21 "We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the Law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the Law (in mortal man) no one will be justified. For if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the Law, (Paul here makes use of both laws that separate all from GOD) so that I might live to GOD. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me. And the Life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of GOD, for if righteousness were through the law (this being both laws), then Christ died for no purpose."

Obtained by Faith,

Ephesians 3:17-19 of 14-19, 20-21 "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named (Christ), that according to the riches of His glory HE may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of GOD.
Now to Him Who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. The Amen."

A Glorious Mystery,

Colossians 1:27 of 2, 3-8, 9-15, 16-20, 21-23, 24-29 "To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from GOD our Father.
We always thank GOD, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of GOD in truth, just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of GOD's will (plan and purpose) in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the LORD, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of GOD. May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, by Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn (Genesis 2 restored) of all creation.
For by Him (the unknown Christ of Genesis 2) all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. And HE is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And HE is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the (separated) dead, that in everything HE might be preeminent. For in Him (Christ in Jesus) all the fullness of GOD was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to (GOD) Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.
And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, HE has now reconciled in His body of flesh (in which the universal law dwells) by His death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before Him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of His body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from GOD that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to His saints. To them GOD chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature (perfect) in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all His energy that HE powerfully works within me."

Obedience is Essential,

1John 3:24 of 4-10, 11-12, 13-22, 23-24 "Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that He appeared in order to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen Him or known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as He is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the (universal of sin and death under the influence of) devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works (universal law) of the devil. No one born of GOD makes a practice of sinning, for GOD's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.
Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of (the universal law of sin and) death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before Him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and HE knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before GOD; and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do what pleases Him.
And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus, the Christ and love one another, just as HE has commanded us. Whoever keeps His commandments abides in GOD, and GOD in him. And by this we know that HE abides in us, by the Spirit Whom HE has given us."

Possible to All,  

Revelation 3:20 of 14, 15-22 (Jesus is speaking) "And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: 'The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of GOD's creation.
I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm (Strong's 1828 Bible Dictionary states this for G5513: "metaphorically of the condition of the soul wretchedly [to bring a state of ruin, one in disabled state] fluctuating between a torpor and a fervor of love"), and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also conquered and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"

The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 15.7 wisdom

We are looking into the mystical working of GOD, Who is Spirit, in the person of the Holt Spirit as the anointing of Messiah-Christ that is our seal after redemption. This being the indwelling of John 17 in the LORD's high priestly prayer. This is also seen in many of the old testaments prophesies, often in veiled language. This out look leads to such things as our spiritual fullness and the fullness of Christ, with Christ's indwelling.


Dwelling in Believers, the Spirit's Indwelling,

Ezekiel 36:27 of 22-32 "Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: "'It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. And I will vindicate the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when through you I vindicate My holiness before their eyes. I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land (this began in 1947 and continues still). I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness's, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes and be careful to obey My rules. You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be My people, and I will be your GOD. And I will deliver you from all your uncleanness's. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you. I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations. Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations. It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord GOD; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.'"




John 14:17 of 15-17 (Jesus is speaking) "'If you love Me, you will keep My commandments (Deuteronomy 18:18-20 of 15-22). And I will ask the Father, and HE will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for HE dwells with you and will be in you.'"


Romans 8:9 of 9-11 "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of GOD dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the (your) spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, HE Who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."


1Corinthians 3:16 of 16-17; 6:19, 2Timothy 1:14 "Do you not know that you are GOD's temple and that GOD's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys GOD's temple, GOD will destroy him. For GOD's temple is holy, and you are that temple."



1Corinthians 6:19 of 12-20 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything. "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food"—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the LORD, and the LORD for the body. And GOD raised the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two will become one flesh (in Genesis 224)." For he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, Whom you have from GOD? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify GOD in your body."

2Timothy 1:14 of 8-14 "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our LORD, nor of me His prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of GOD, Who saved (rescued by redemption's redeeming) us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace, which HE gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, Who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know Whom I have believed, and I am convinced that HE is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me. Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. By the Holy Spirit Who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you."


1John 2:27 of 25, 26-27, 28-29 "And this is the promise that HE made to us—eternal life.
I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. But the anointing (Messiah-Christ) that you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. For His anointing (Spirit of Truth-Christ) teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as [it] HE has taught you, abide in Him.
And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when HE appears we may have confidence and not shrink from Him in shame at His coming. If you know that HE is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him."

The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 15.6 wisdom

I am looking into the revelation of Ephesians 3:3 and how it pertains to the working of the Holy Spirit...ie. the Spirit of GOD that is known as the Christ. Who made Jesus an uncommon man being the Christ one, again. Jesus, called the second Adam. Because of the Christ-Messiah within Him, that being the portion of the first Adam sacrificed by Adam when he ate of the forbidden tree that would cause man to become as god. When this man was already as GOD because he walked with Him in spirit and truth and shared His wisdom already, as seen in Genesis 2.


The General Work of the Holy Spirit,

Zechariah 4:6 of 1-7 "And the angel who talked with me came again and woke me, like a man who is awakened out of his sleep. And he said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it, and seven lamps on it, with seven lips on each of the lamps that are on the top of it. And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left." And I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord." Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.' Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of  'Grace, grace to it!'"


Matthew 12:28 of 25-30 "Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. Whoever is not with Me is against Me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.'"


John 15:26 of 26-27 (Jesus is speaking) "'But when the Helper comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, Who proceeds from the Father, HE will bear witness about Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.'"


John 16:8 of 5-11 (Jesus is speaking) "'But now I am going to Him Who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, "Where are you going?" But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. And when HE comes, HE will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe (do not receive Me) in Me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see Me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.'"


Romans 8:11 and 26 of 9-11; 26-27 "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, HE Who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you."

Romans 8:26-27 "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And HE Who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."

2Corinthians 3:6 of 4-6 "Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward GOD. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from GOD, Who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."


1Peter 3:18 of 13-22 "Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the LORD as Holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that HE might bring us to GOD, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the {spirit} Spirit, in which HE went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison (Matthew 27:51-54 bears witness to this), because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of GOD, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to Him."


2Peter 1:21 of 19-21 "And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from GOD as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."


Revelation 22:17 of 16, 17 "'I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.'
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price."

The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 15.5 wisdom

While reading a study that i have been sharing for many years now, today's subject was taken in part from Romans 1:17 and the last portion of this verse which states this, "The righteous shall live by faith." (in the ESV and the ASB) here is the KJV  "The just shall live by faith." Our topics are coming to us through Ephesians 3:3's revelation of wisdom. All having to do with GOD's Wisdom being our wisdom by His Spirit within us. This being fact and truth I will continue with His Holy Spirit by way of some general references of His Works.


The Holy Spirit, a few select passages,

John 14:16-28 of 15-17, 18-24, 25-31 (Jesus is speaking) "'If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.  And I will ask the Father, and HE will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for HE dwells with you and will be in you.
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. Whoever has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.'" Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "LORD, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered him, 'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come into him and make our home within him. Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not Mine but the Father's Who sent Me (Deuteronomy 18:18-20 of 15-22). These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, HE will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; My peace (our wrath of enmity, hostilities and strife being removed) I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard Me say to you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on Me, for I do as the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.'"

Acts 2:1-4, 5-13, 14-21, 22-28, 29-36, 37-42, 43-47 "When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, which filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided into tongues as of fire (Luke 12:49) appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God." And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others mockingly said, "They are filled with new wine."
But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour (9am) of the day. But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel (in 2:28-32): "'And in the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on My male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy (teach, tutor and train by reprove, rebuke and exhort edification of 2Timothy 4:1-5). And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.'"
"Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by GOD (Deuteronomy 18:15-22 a testing to Him) with mighty works and wonders and signs that GOD did (performed) through Him in your midst, as you yourselves know— this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of GOD, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. GOD raised Him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it. For David says concerning Him (in Psalm 16:8-11, by His Spirit states this), "'I saw the LORD always before Me, for HE is at My right hand that I may not be shaken; therefore My heart was glad, and My tongue rejoiced; My flesh also will dwell in hope. For You will not abandon My soul to Hades, or let Your Holy One see corruption. You have made known to Me the paths of life; You will make Me full of gladness with Your presence.'"
"Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that HE was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh (as Jesus) see corruption. This Jesus, GOD raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. Being therefore exalted at the right hand of GOD, and having received from the Father the (His) promise of the Holy Spirit, HE has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says (in Psalm 110:1), "'The LORD said to my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool."' Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that GOD has made Him both LORD and Christ, this Jesus Whom you crucified."
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" To this Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to Himself." And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, "Escape yourselves from this crooked generation (Deuteronomy 32:5's record of witness against them)." So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising GOD and having favor with all the people. And the LORD added to their number day by day those who were being saved."


Romans 8:1-8, 9-11, 12-17, 18-25, 26-27, 28-30, 31-39 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ, Jesus (in mans flesh, condemned the universal) law of sin and death. For God has done what the (Mosaic) Law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the (Mosaic) Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the {His} Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to GOD, for it does not submit to GOD or GOD's law; indeed, it cannot. For those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD.
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of GOD dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ (Galatians 2:20-21, 5:24) does not belong to Him. For if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, (the spirit of this man is influenced by) the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of Him (GOD) Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, HE Who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit Who (that) dwells in you.
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 (again Galatians 2:20 comes into play). 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!" For 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, (for this reason we carry the Father's name as Christ ones) provided we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of GOD. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him Who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of GOD. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved (rescued from wrath's destruction). Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. For HE searches our hearts and knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the (plan and purpose) will of GOD.
And we know that for those who love GOD all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose (Will). For those whom HE foreknew HE also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom HE predestined HE also called, and those whom HE called HE justifies, and those whom HE justifies HE also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He Who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will HE not also with Him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is GOD Who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, Who was raised—Who is at the right hand (the position of power with authority) of GOD, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written (by David in Psalm 44:22), "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loves us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of GOD in Christ Jesus our LORD."

The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 15.4 wisdom

There are many things that the spirit of man as Christ within us reveals to those who are His, just as the first man known as Adam exhibited before woman was taken from his side, making woman who was a part of mans being from before the foundations of the world were laid in Genesis 2. We are still in the wisdom of GOD and discovering that all of mans ways are known to GOD along with the secret things of mans heart are also known.


All the Ways of Men are Known to GOD, 

Job 34:21 of 21-30 "For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and HE sees all his steps. There is no gloom or deep darkness where evildoers may hide themselves. For God has no need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment. He shatters the mighty without investigation and sets others in their place. Thus, knowing their works, HE overturns them in the night, and they are crushed. He strikes them for their wickedness in a place for all to see, because they turned aside from following Him and had no regard for any of His ways, so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him, and HE heard the cry of the afflicted— When HE is quiet, who can condemn? When HE hides His face, who can behold Him, whether it be a nation or a man?— that a godless man should not reign, that he should not ensnare the people."

Psalm 1:6 of 4-6 "The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish."

Sin and Shin.
Psalm 119:168 of 161-168 "Princes persecute me without cause, but my heart stands in awe of Your words. I rejoice at Your word like one who finds great spoil. I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love Your law. Seven times a day I praise You for Your righteous rules. Great peace have those who love Your law; nothing can make them stumble. I hope for Your salvation, O LORD, and I do Your commandments. My soul keeps Your testimonies; I love them exceedingly. I keep yYur precepts and testimonies, for all my ways are before You."

Psalm 139:3 of 1-6 "O LORD, You have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it."

Psalm 142:3 of 1-4 "With my voice I cry out to the LORD; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD. I pour out my complaint before Him; I tell my trouble before Him. When my spirit faints within me, You know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul."


Proverbs 5:21 of 15-23 "Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and HE ponders all his paths. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray."


Jeremiah 16:17 of 16-18 "Behold, I am sending for many fishers, declares the LORD, and they shall catch them. And afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from Me, nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes. But first I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled My inheritance with their abominations."

Jeremiah 32:19 of 16-25 "After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying: "Ah, Lord GOD! It is You Who have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for You. You show steadfast love to thousands, but You repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty GOD, Whose name is the LORD of hosts, great in counsel and mighty in deed, Whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. You have shown signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, and have made a name for Yourself, as at this day. You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and outstretched arm, and with great terror. And You gave them this land, which You swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. And they entered and took possession of it. But they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They did nothing of all You commanded them to do. Therefore You have made all this disaster come upon them. Behold, the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and because of sword and famine and pestilence the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You spoke has come to pass, and behold, You see it. Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, 'Buy the field for money and get witnesses—though the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.'"


The Secrets of the Heart are read by Christ, 

Proverbs 15:11 of 7-17 "The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to Him. The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but HE loves him who pursues righteousness. There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; whoever hates reproof will die. Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more the hearts of the children of man! A scoffer does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise. A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed. The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly. All the days of the afflicted are evil, but the cheerful of heart has a continual feast. Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it."

Jeremiah 20:12 of 7-13 "O LORD, You have deceived me, and I was deceived; You are stronger than I, and You have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me. For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, "Violence and destruction!" For the word of the LORD has become for me a reproach and derision all day long. If I say, "I will not mention Him, or speak any more in His name," there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot. For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! "Denounce Him! Let us denounce Him!" say all my close friends, watching for my fall. "Perhaps he will be deceived; then we can overcome him and take our revenge on him." But the LORD is within me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. O LORD of hosts, Who tests the righteous, Who sees the heart and the mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You have I committed my cause. Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD! For HE has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers."






Matthew 12:25 of 15-21, 22-24, 25-30, 31-32 "Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed Him, and HE healed them all and ordered them not to make Him known. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah in 42:1-3, "'Behold, My servant whom I have chosen, My beloved with Whom My soul is well pleased. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets; a bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not quench, until He brings justice to victory; and in His name the Gentiles will hope.'"
Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to Him, and He healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, "Can this be the Son of David?" But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons."
Knowing their thoughts, He said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if it is by the Spirit of GOD that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of GOD has come upon you. Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless He first binds the strong man? Then indeed He may plunder his house. Whoever is not with Me is against Me, and whoever does not gather with Me scatters.
Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.'"


Matthew 22:18 of 15-22 "Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle Him in His words. And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, 'Why put Me to the test, you hypocrites? Show Me the coin for the tax.' And they brought Him a denarius. And Jesus said to them, 'Whose likeness and inscription is this?' They said, "Caesar's." Then He said to them, 'Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to GOD the things that are GOD's.' When they heard it, they marveled. And they left Him and went away."


Mark 2:8 of 1-12 "When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that He was at home. And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And He was preaching the word to them. And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
Mar 2:4 And when they could not get near Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.' Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, "Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Immediately Jesus, perceiving in His spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, 'Why do you question these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your bed and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins'—He said to the paralytic—'I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.' And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"




Luke 11:17 of 14-23 and 16:15 "Now Jesus was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons," while others, to test Him, kept seeking from Him a sign from heaven. But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if it is by the finger of GOD that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of GOD has come upon you. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, He takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. Whoever is not with Me is against Me, and whoever does not gather with Me scatters.'"

Luke 16:15 of 14-15 "The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him. And Jesus said to them, 'You are those who justify yourselves before men, but GOD knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.'"


John 2:25 of 23-25 with Acts 15:8 "Now when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs that He was doing. But Jesus on His part did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for He Himself knew what was in man."

Acts 15:8 of 6-11 "The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And GOD, Who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as HE did to us, and HE made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will."

The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 15.3 wisdom

We are looking into the "wisdom" of the ages all rolled up into one and the same Spirit being....HE being GOD, LORD God, Jesus and Messiah/Christ all with other titles as revealed to the people of the old testament under the title of Yehovah/Jehovah/Joshua in His many forms. This fact alone causes many hardship as they want to compartmentalize Him, this being the action of limited mindsets through the tree of knowledge that causes disrepair. Then I want to look at men's hearts being searched to discover the secrets of the heart in man, this may require another blog posting as it looks lengthy.


Wisdom, Christ's wisdom,

Isaiah 11:2 of 1-5 "There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. And His delight will be in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what His eyes see, or decide disputes by what His ears hear, but with righteousness He will judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He will kill the wicked. Righteousness will be the belt of His waist, and faithfulness the belt of His loins."

Matthew 13:54 of 53-58 "When Jesus had finished these parables, He went away from there, and coming to His hometown He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, 'A prophet (Deuteronomy 18:18-20 of 15-22) is not without honor except in His hometown and in His own household.' And He did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief."

Luke 2:40 of 36-38, 39-40 "There was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of Him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the grace of God was upon him."

1Corinthians 1:24 of 18-25 "The word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written (by Isaiah in 29:14 of the LORD), 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.' (by Job in 12:17 and by Isaiah in 19:11f) "Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know GOD through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of GOD and the wisdom of GOD. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

Colossians 2:3 of 1-5, 6-7 "For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of GOD's mystery, which is Christ, in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible (religious, political, financial) arguments. For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith [in] of Christ.
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the LORD, so walk [in] by Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in [the] His faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."


Man's Heart Searched by Jehovah,

1Chronicles 28:9 of 8, 9-10 and Psalm 44:21 "Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever. "And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek Him, HE will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, HE will cast you off forever. Be careful now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it."




Psalm 44:21 of 20-26 "If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, would not God discover this? For HE knows the secrets of the heart. Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. Awake! Why are you sleeping, O LORD? Rouse Yourself! Do not reject us forever! Why do You hide Your face? Why do You forget our affliction and oppression? For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly clings to the ground. Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of Your steadfast love!"


Jeremiah 17:10 of 9-11 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 'I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.' Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by justice; in the midst of his days they will leave him, and at his end he will be a fool."



Jeremiah 23:24 of 23-24 "Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD."


Amos 9:3 of 1-4 "I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said: 'Strike the capitals until the thresholds shake, and shatter them on the heads of all the people; and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword; not one of them shall flee away; not one of them shall escape. If they dig into Sheol, from there shall My hand take them; if they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down. If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, from there I will search them out and take them; and if they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them. And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them; and I will fix My eyes upon them for evil and not for good.'"





Zephaniah 1:12 of 7-13 "Be silent before the Lord GOD! For the day of the LORD is near; the LORD has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated His guests. And on the day of the LORD's sacrifice— 'I will punish the officials and the king's sons and all who array themselves in foreign attire. On that day I will punish everyone who leaps over the threshold, and those who fill their master's house with violence and fraud. "'On that day,'" declares the LORD, 'a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second Quarter, a loud crash from the hills. Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! For all the traders are no more; all who weigh out silver are cut off. At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, 'The LORD will not do good, nor will He do ill.' Their goods shall be plundered, and their houses laid waste. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them.'"


Romans 8:27 of 25, 26-27, 28-30 "But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And HE Who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the spirit (in all men), because HE the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of GOD.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His (name and) purpose. For those whom HE foreknew HE also predestined to be conformed to the image (shadow, one in whom the likeness of any one is seen) of His Son, in order that HE might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom HE predestined HE also called (afore times began), and those whom HE called HE also justified, and those whom HE justified HE also glorified."
