YOU CAN NEVER BE HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, AND PERFECT IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH!! SO JUST STOP IT!!!

...But if you think you will never be Righteous, Holy, and Perfect in HIS, The LORD Jesus Christ of Nazereths' Strength, then you are calling him a liar. HIS Strength can NOT be LORD of your life if YOU are.

YOU must Die, in order to LIVE. Have you started Dying?

The fervent Prayer of a RIGHTEOUS man availeth MUCH. Which means that if you are NOT righteous, your prayers availeth little to nothing.

"But i though JESUS was our righteousness?"

HE IS!! so if YOU are not righteous, and become MORE so, then MAYBE, Just MAYBE you have NOT died to self, and YOU still sit on the throne of your spirit, quenching HIS, and HE is not LORD. And HIS throne, the one that is RIGHTFULLY HIS the MERCY SEAT OF YOUR HEART THAT IS RESERVED FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, is usurped, by YOU, Anti-christ, Man of Iniquity, sitting in the temple of GOD thinking himself to BE God.

Things to think about.

I LOVE you, and May Jesus Bless you and give you More Mercy and Grace to KNOW HIM MORE. NEVER stop seeking the KING.

Revelation 22:11
"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."

Daniel 12:10
"Many shall purify themselves(by dying in HIS death), and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand."(parenthesis mine)

1 Corinthians 3:16
"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?"

1 Corinthians 6:19
"What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?"

Romans 8:9
"You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ."

James 4:5
"Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?"

WHO IS LORD OF YOURL LIFE? WHO IS SITTING IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD CLAIMING TO BE GOD? IS IT JESUS? OR IS IT YOU?

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God"

Dear Deadflesh: What you have just said is true. God bless you. Keep up

threads like this and you will communicate from God's Word well. Take

care. In Erie PA Scott R. Harrington PS "But when the kindness and love

of God our Savior toward men appeared, not by works of righteousness

which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the

washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured

out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been

justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of

eternal life. This is a faithful saying and these things I want you to affirm

constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to

maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. But

avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the

law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the

first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and

sinning, being self-condemned." St. Titus 3:4-11 NKJV New King James

IT sure is and the SPIRIT leads to put to DEATH the deeds of the FLESH and those IN the SPIRIT

WILL NOT gratify the DEEDS of the FLESH.

So that means those who gratify the deeds of the FLESH must not be walking in the spirit.

Since we're in Romans
Chptr 12
1I plead to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that all of you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2And be not conformed to this world: but be all of you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that all of you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith

I don't think l can do anything in my strength, that's foolishness but when I read "present myself as a living sacrifice" I know only He can help me accomplish that to the desire He seeks, my willingness to conform is the renewing of my mind to start with for sanctification to have effect, when i firest encountered His love for me and read the bible i was appalled that alot of things He doesnt like i was doing, yikes,
hope that come out right, sometimes things gets lost between the heart speaking when it comes out my mouth lol wouldn't be the first time .

I don't think it can just happen because I just believe in Jesus and continue ignoring what I need help with to be but by the renewing of my mind tested thru trial and tribulation that perfects the work He does in us, still a ways to go I'm not perfect, just mindful that how I once thought acted in my walk to how different today that it was and is all His doing that has done it

Paul ended different to when he started, more mellow and loving I reckon lolz as did all the apostles from starting their walk to how they actually finished it on His glory.

Romans 8
Life in the Spirit
1There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.a 2For the law of the Spirit of life has set youb free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,c he condemned sin in the flesh, 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For 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. 6For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. 8Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9You, 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. 10But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11If 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.


QUESTION: what spirit did you receive when, while you were dead in trespasses and sins God drew you to Christ and justified (not guilty) you?

Romans 8:15
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!”

You do realise that the False prophet, Jezebel, and Whore of Babylon are the SAME right?
ALL = False Church who wont repent.
They are all of the same spirit yes, but the False Prophet will be the last leader of this kingdom of darkness.

I see a difference. That verse was talking especially about him - The false prophet.

He will be different than all the other leaders before him. He is chosen by Satan to carry out his plan. He is a man whom Satan gives all his powers to, and guides him to decieve the nations, including christians.

This man who is yet to come, will actually think he is God with all this power he has. With his love for this power that he thinks is his alone, and hatred for holiness, he has one purpose in mind...To kill and destroy all christians and anyone else that stands up to him.

Daniel 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people;

Daniel 7:21 Behold, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

This is Satans idea of course as he is still wrath with the woman (Gods church) right up till the very end.

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

So we should be warning our fellow brethren, and anyone we can, christian or not that;

There is a wicked leader coming who will try and force us to take his mark and he will come claiming peace....but this peace is only for a short time and is false. He will come with a bang and with power and the whole world will marvel at him and he will show signs and wonders (miracles) and solve the world's problems with his smooth words and new laws.....but he has only one purpose in mind, to destroy us and he will start with the christians and will corner them into thinking they have no choice otherwise they will loose their homes, their children etc, but be strong because God warned us in the scriptures that he is coming and to be prepared and that God will be with us to give a little strength and our reward is just around the corner, so endure to the end and put this scripture now into action because Christ taught us this scripture;

Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

and this is not just talking about who you worship in the spirit but also about our physical lives, just like Jesus and the appostles and how they were killed because they chose to obey God even to death and not deny his name. The same will be for us. We cannot accept that mark no matter what or we will share in the wrath of God in the pouring out of the plagues during the 7 trumpets on Babylon.

And if we take the mark, then it means that we havn't bothered to read Gods word carefully and heed his warnings and instructions for the correct road to everlasting life, or we've been decieved through a strange doctrine that says, don't worry you'll be fine, God wont let that happen to you because your flesh is important to him and he wouldn't want you to die for his name sake or step up to the challenge because you'll probably be whisked away before any of that happens.

Thankyou, I read what you wrote and I dont agree fully. This mark is physical and is the trap he sets. We cant buy anything without this mark on us as it represents our I.D and bank account, so to say that it's the work of our hands is not correct. Sureley you can see that they are doing away with cash, and the credit/debit card system has faults as people can still do fraud. But now dead bodies and imposters, and felons can be tracked and identified and controlled better, and little children who get lost can be traced now....the world is going to love it.....

Maybe it will become more clear to you as the time nears and dont just trust what I say, but search the scriptures for yourself and look around what's going on in the world today and you will see so clear.

If you want i can send you some links, sermons, books that talk about the very same thing.
[/QUOTE]I got my information re the false prophet through reading the scriptures when I was only 13. I saw the truth opened right in front of me then, straight from the bible. Of course I have learn't more since then and still learning, but have been watching what's going on with world politics even up until now and it only confirms the truth of what I first read and believed with prophecy becoming more clearer.

yeah its ADAM.

the Church that never walks in covenant with JESUS. if JESUS is the LAST adam, and we are to be ONE WITH HIM. then those who never seek after that are apart of the Bablyon Whore Church(never become his true bride) so they never become his TRUE body, and never be come his true righteousness, and ONENESS IN HIM. the babylon whore is the FIRST adam.

Adam. they STAY the first adam. False. Flesh. Carnal. Jezebel spirit = Antichrist spirit. the spirit manifests i nthe carnal. its US sitting on the throne of our heart. CLAIMING to be GOD.

you will NEVER learn spiritual thigns by watchign carnal thigns my dear dear friend. And Honeslty i dont know all to much, i have soem light, adn am currently learning, thanks to what the LORD showed me, and what the LORD led me to that HE showed othrs. here with soem links let me try to spell it out.

Cherub = symbol of the church

Isaiah went to the king of tyre and called him a gardian cherub...because the king of tyre had been circumsied...but then RAISED hismelf to be LIKE GOD. He made an allusion to the king of TYRE beign the FIRST ADAM...with the knowledge of GOOD and EVIL claiming himself to BE GOD. In stead of allowing GOD to be god, adn us realyign o nthe SPIRIT(tree of Life) Right? Right! So GOd throguh Isaiah was talkign to the FLESH nature...ADAM in the man. Whci of course is controlled by Satan...but he was not callign SATAN a guardian cherub, that was spiritual language for ADAM...which is the flesh nature.

ok soo

Cherub = (Blessing) Christians----> CHERUBIMS BY ROY RICHMOND

Flesh nature/sin = First adam(ironically called lucifer...ONLY ONCE) ----> http://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/30643-rod-gods-anger.html

Anti-christ/ false Prophet/ Babylon Church system = First ADAM. Livign creature. NOT the LAST Adam. they are NOT spiritual, but Carnal. they never forsook ALL for CHRIST. they stayed in the flesh. they STAYED with the nature of SATAN.

I dotn have all this properly worked out in a form that can be udnerstood cohesivly...hahah i jump around allot and have run on sentances that bore soem people...but im workign on it. But There are many spiritual picturs in the bible...you knwo this, wake up knows this...but i think you guys got caught up in the carnal, shortly after you found these thigns out...forsake the carnal...its a trap and deception. SATAN wants your eyes OFF of JESUS. our hearts need to be on HIM not anythig nelse...satan almsot got me off of HIM too, but The LORD graced me with a mother who told me to make "keep me from all deception" my daily prayer... we were warned to NOT be deiceved...meanign its possible to be. anyway...

The false prophet is the false chruch. it IS Adam. NON sanctified and non coveantn walking Faux-church. they think that they are QUEEN allready. but they are not, they are carnal. They have time At this moment to Repent, and buy GOLD refined in the fire...but a time coems when its too late, adn they harden there hearts. If the MARK is phsycial NO ONE who has ever read revealtion will take it. But if the MArk is SPIRITUAL then MANY will be decieed into taking it..and thats what Revealtion says will ahppen, the false chruch will deacieve MANY into taking the MARK.

and if the MARK is works done our of unrighteousness(works of hands) its the way of CAIN, the way of Ballam. its ADAM. "you surely will not die"

Except at the END the tinly little serpent, is a full grown dragon. and the lie isnt a little lie like in the garden its a HUGE FLOOD I would allued to the post i made about the flood, but its quoted in the ROD of GOds anger post above, if you want to read it.

Anyway male/female its used interchangelbly to confound the wise.
Jezebel/Antichrist/Whore of babylon/False prophet/2nd beast/"lucifer"/cain/tree of the knowledge of GOOD and evil its FRIST adam. HE will not get off the throne of his heart, and give FULL reign to JESUS. he will not become a WIFE to JESUS, and submitt, and be ONE BODY. instead he is decieved to work, and think in the carnal which is the MARK of the beast. and Imamge of HIM SELF...like Nebuchadnezzar. he built an immage, works of his hands, of his Own idea of GOd...HIMSELF. and GOD made that KING of BABYLON into a BEAST. See it? I pray MANY see it, but if i keep doign these impromptu rants hahah no one will read the stuff i post!! haha But truly, there are others who ave seen this. and GOD leads me to these these people AFTER he shows me somthing personaly. as to confirm it. Anyway. I know this is allot. read THIS a few tiems and then check out the links afew times. I KNOW God gave this to me. its nothing of anythign i did. Anyway, look it over. Jesus Bless you.

not dying and fear.

You cant have your mind set on SPIRIT if you are a CARNAL mind. If you ARE focused on the SPIRIT becasue OF JESUS then great.

But if you are FORCING in the flesh a man made form of "peace", because you belive you MUST be in peace, and its NOT the peace of the LORD... then that is works. Jesus ssid LIFE is only in death. and PEACE is only in HIS SPIRIT.

So if YOU know this and thats where you are, great. many , many are not.

God promised us a NEW heart of FLESH, instead of a heart of Stone. Whos Flesh? Jesus.
God promised us a NEW Spirit. Whos spirit? Jesus
God promised us a NEW MIND . Whos mind the Mind of CHRIST Jesus.

Those are PROMISES. If we take the FATHER up on his promise, then our heart DOES NOT condmen us anylonger ...IF, IF we have HIM as our heart, HIS flesh replaces our stone, hardened heart. And the SPIRIT brings LIFE, and PEACE. Does not NOW mean you get to STOP denying self, and dying to self and allowing CHRIST to CRUCIFY YOU. The mind of Christ is set on the Spirit of CHRIST. its ALL suposed to be HIM. and HE said you cant have life unless you Die to it.(hate it)

We are to be conformed to HIS imamge COMPLETELY we cant do that without compelte submission Kathy. COMPLETE. IF you have done that im so very happy, becasue it IS where we all should be. But MANY have not. Many are not even walking IN the promises JESUS gave us. MANY do not even know what PEACE means. They think its just "i know where im goign when i die" But if you arent walkign in holyness, and allowing ALL of you, to be conformed to ALL of HIM, then you have a FALSE security, and its Carnal. its a CARNAL understadning and FALSE and doesnt please GOD.

okay robbie.
we know each other pretty well.

let's share John 10 brother.
peace.
love you

John 10
I Am the Good Shepherd
1“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

7So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”

19There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. 20Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?” 21Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

You can choose to give in to temptation, or you can resist temptation.

Sometimes we need the Lord's help, but giving in to temptation never turns out well.

Right HIS BLOOD is the only way to be acceptable to THE FATHER.

But does that mean NOW we get to NOT obey JESUS who is LORD? does that mean now we are lord of out lives?
