BLESSINGS ONLY WITH LEGITIMATE ACCUSATIONS

My Dear Precious Child, In Paul's letter to Timothy, whom he had placed in charge of the church at Ephesus, Paul wrote that Timothy should not pay any attention to an accusation against a church leader unless there were two or three witnesses who confirmed the same accusation. If there were two or three legitimate accusers of the leader of the same sin, then Paul wrote that that church leader was to be publicly reprimanded so that the rest of the people will fear himself or herself offending in the same way. In Paul's letter he amplified that instruction in front of Me, Christ Jesus and the chosen angels by adding that he charged Timothy to hold fast to that mode of punishment, following that rule without prejudice, acting without favor to anyone. He also added to that strict requirement to never lay hands of anyone hastily because you may be sharing in the misdeeds of that person, taking on by osmosis the demons who are causing him or her to sin. In other words, Paul said to keep yourself pure. (I Timothy 5:19-22) In Timothy's case, Paul told him to stop drinking only water but instead to drink a little wine for his stomach because of his frequent digestive problems. (I Timothy 5:23) Referring back to his strong admonition about church leaders and their possible sins, Paul wrote that some sins are flagrant and worthy of judgment, while the sins of other people might appear much later. Similarly, he wrote that some good deeds stand out from the rest, but not even inconspicuous good deeds can be hidden forever from view. (I Timothy 5:24-25) Paul told Timothy in his letter to him that every worker/slave must regard his or her master worthy of full respect; otherwise My name and the church's teachings suffer much abuse in the opinions of outsiders. He also wrote that slaves whose brothers were in the church must not take liberties with them on that account but should be impartial with everyone. Those brothers must perform their laborious tasks even more faithfully, since those bosses/masters who profit from the work of the workers/slaves are believers and beloved brothers. He wrote that Timothy should not teach any other way by not holding to the teaching and sound doctrines of Christ Jesus and to teach any other way would be conceited and ignorant, a sick man in his passions for controversy and differing political beliefs. He explained that truth by saying that the bickering of people, the people who are envious, are slanderous, those who sow dissension and other evil suspicions have twisted minds and have lost all sense of the truth. (I Timothy 6:3-4)) In his first letter to Timothy Paul wrote that people who practic and teach such sins only value religion for their own gain. He wrote that there is great gain in My perfect practice of real religion, providing a person is content with the sufficiency. He wrote that we bring nothing into the world and that we don't have the power to take anything out of it. He wrote that food and clothing are sufficient gifts to make people happy, but the people who desire to be rich have already fallen into temptation and they will drag more people down to destruction and ruin. He repeated a sound truth, that the love of money is at the root of all evil and that some people have strayed from the faith because of it and have come to great pain and lack because of the love of money. (I Timothy 6:5-10) Because Paul's belief in the soon second coming to earth of Christ Jesus in flesh had taken a back seat because of it having not yet happened, so he began to teach people about allowing Me to grow up in them into My image in the earth by having the mind of Christ also, so that My will would be done in earth as it is in heaven, as Jesus had taught them to pray. (Matthew 6:10) It was apparent to Paul that maybe there would be no other second coming of Jesus to earth because it had already happened on the day of Pentecost when My Holy Spirit entered into the lives of My children. He knew that by the power of My Holy Spirit in them that I would be able to, through My authority in My children, cue My angels with their fire to do what John the Baptist had prophesied, with His winnowing fan in His hand He would clear the earth of the demons, gather My childen under My protective wing and send the demons into the eternal, unquenchable fire. (Luke 13:34; Matthew 13:36-42) Your Father of Great Mercy and Truth
