BLESSINGS FROM HAVING CONTROL OF YOUR TONGUE

My Dear Precious Child, In James's letter to all of the churches, James wrote valuable spiritual advice including restraining your tongue. He said that not many of the spiritual people at that time should be teachers because teachers are called to a stricter code. In other words, they must do what they teach, becoming doers of My word instead of merely professing My word. James confessed that everyone falls short in many respects in regard to the tongue. In the letter to the churches James wrote that if a person is faultless in speech then he can control his entire body. He compared that to putting a bit in the mouth of a horse to make it obey you. That makes the rest of the horse's body follow. The body follows where the mouth goes. He also wrote that it's the same truth with ships no matter how large they are. Even if they are driven by strong winds they are still directed by very small rudders on whichever course the steersman's impulse chooses. James related the two examples to a person's tongue, writing that it's a small member of your body but it has great influences in your present and future life. (James 3:1-5) To further magnify the truth of the power of your words, James wrote that only a very small spark can set a huge forest fire ablaze that destroys the same thing. So is the tongue, it's a small flame but among the members of your body it's an entire universe of malice and evil deeds. In fact, the tongue defiles your entire body and can defile your entire life. Its flaming words set the course of your life from birth and its fire is kindled in hell, used by the devil to do his will in your life in the form of allowing him to order curses and evil events to plague your life. (James 3:5-6) James wrote that every bird and animal can be tamed and they have been tamed by mankind, but the tongue cannot be tamed by the flesh of humans. He wrote that the tongue of people is evil, full of deadly poison. You use your tongue to praise Me as your Father; then you use it to curse other people who are made in My image. In other words, blessings and curses come out of the same mouth. IT SHOULD NOT BE SO. Does a spring gush forth both fresh water and foul water from the same spigot? He wrote emphatically that a fig tree cannot produce both olives and figs from itself; so no more can a poisonous source bring fresh water. (James 3:7-12) In his wise instructions relating to the power of your words, James wrote in his letter if anyone is wise with understanding that he or she should practice controlling his tongue with good sense. However, he wrote that if you nurse bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart that you should at least stop speaking arrogant words against the Truth. He stressed in his letter that words that are arrogant and jealous do not come from My heaven. Instead, they come from hell. The tongue is like a kind of an animal, even a demonic and cunning one. In fact, James wrote that where there are jealousy and strife that there are every demon from hell. (James 3:16) My wisdom from My Holy Spirit is contrasted to the devil's words by first of all My words being innocent and then also peaceable, lenient, docile, sympathetic with others and My words produce kindly deeds of impartiality and sincerity. If you only speak those words that come from the Holy Spirit, there will be a harvest in your earthly life for you of prosperity in every area because you have sown peace in your present and future life. (James 3:13-18) James' letter not only summarized My truths taught through Christ Jesus and His disciples in their letters, but he encapsulated those truths in minute form with very little embellishment, endevoring not to be verbose like Paul was. Paul was a man of many words and James was a man of few words. However, they both spoke and wrote My Truth which brings liberty to all of My children if you allow the Truths to take root in your life and control your fleshly members, especially your tongue.

BLESSINGS FROM THE WORKS OF FAITH

My Dear Precious Child, One of the apostle James most staunch admonitions via the Holy Spirit is for My children not to show favoritism toward anyone. He wrote that if a person comes into your church with gold rings on his or her fingers wearing fancy clothes, and at the same time a poor person comes in in shabby clothes that you must not pay more attention to the beautifully dressed person and invite him or her to take a seat in the very front of the church. He admonished you not to pay more attention to the wealthy person than to the poor person. He wrote that if you do favor the rich person that you have discriminated against the poor person in your heart. In other words, you have become a judge by handing down favoritism to the rich person, which is not My will. (James 2:1-4) James admonished all readers of his letter to listen to his words, writing that I chose those people who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and heirs of M;y kingdom which I promised to those who love me. Yet, My children often treat the poor people as a second class citizen. He wrote that if the rich people accept personal attention that they are, in essence, exploiting you. They are the ones who take you to court and blaspheme My noble name, James wrote, speaking of the Pharisees. (James 2:5-7) He went on to write that you are acting righteously if you fulfill the scriptures in which Christ told you to love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:39; Romans 13:9) However, if you show favoritism toward the privileged people then you commit sin and you are convicted by the law as a transgressor. He reminded you that anyone who falls into sin on one point of the law, even if he keeps the rest of the law, that person has become guilty on all counts. My words which say not to commit adultery also say not to kill. So if you commit adultery but do not murder anyone, you are still a transgressor of the entire law. (James 2:8:11) In further explaining that truth, James wrote to all of the people in the churches, including you, that when you willingly yield to one demon that you have yielded to all demons because you have placed yourself under the devil's domination because you have obeyed him instead of obeying Me. Whomever you obey becomes your master. If you obey the devil, you do not become judged by Me. You become judged by the devil, who is a cruel taskmaster. The clear and concise admonition under James is for you to always SPEAK and ACT as people whose future judgment is under My new covenant law of freedom. The people who do not show mercy to the poor and underprivileged do not inherit My mercy because they have judged other people and so they are judged by their own judgment. Mercy trumps over judgment. The people who sow mercy to the poor in the earth inherit My mercy because they are dispensing My mercy in the earth and in doing so they are in the position of receiving My inheritance for them. (James 2:12-13) James asked this question of believers: What good is it to profess faith in Christ Jesus without doing what He said to do, which is called the works of your faith of sharing your bounty with the poor? That kind of faith which withholds goods from the poor has no power to save you from the works of the devil. James wrote in more clear terms that if a person has no clothes to wear and no food to eat, and you wish that person good luck, encouraging him or her to keep warm and eat well, but you do not endeavor to meet the person's bodily needs, what good is that to the ministry of My Good News? That is what faith without works is. It has no works of improving the lives of other people behind it. (James 2;14-17) The apostle James went on to write in his letter that you're powerless if you profess faith but you don't practice the workings of faith which are to follow the guidance of Christ Jesus. He wrote that it is useless to tell a poor person about your faith without your showing the workings of your faith in your actions. James said he always showed the faith that preceded his own works of love. He asked if the readers of his letter believe that I am One with Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit? If you do, you are right and he wrote that even the demons from hell believe that and shudder at My power. (James 2:18-20) So talking about your faith without meeting the needs of people is dead faith. James used Abraham as an example of doing the workings of his faith when he offered his own son on the altar. That act was proof that his faith assisted his works and implemented his works of intending to sacrifice his son. Abraham believed Me and it was credited as his being righteous. It was the works of his faith that made him righteous, not merely his faith. James also used the prostitute Rahab to illustrate his point. He wrote that she harbored My messengers in her home and then she sent them out so that they would not be apprehended. In other words, she put action to her faith in Me. (James 2:24-26) James emphasized again in his letter that faith without the actions spurred by faith is dead. In his letter to all believers, James' teachings were a synopsis of all of the teachings of Jesus Christ, My Son, who was the image of My love. Heed those words through My Son and through the disciples of My Son and you will have the abundant life in the earth. Your Father of Power-Filled Words

BLESSINGS FROM ENDURING TRIALS OF FAITH

My Dear Precious Child In James' letter to all of the churches he was very emphatic in saying that no believer should say that when he or she is tempted, tried or tested that it's from Me. In Paul's writings he insinuated that I was the originator of the testing of your faith, suggesting in many of his writings that when I discipline My children that I use earthly burdens to teach things. That had been an old Jewish belief since I created the world and so many Jewish believer hung on to that error. Paul, having been a Pharisee, seemed to hang on to that blasphemous error for a while until he later had revelation of the part that demons play in cursing the lives of My children. When James wrote his informative letter to the churches, one of his first stern writings was that I certainly neither use bad things to test My children nor do I ever test them. I live inside of My children in the person of the Holy Spirit and I know the level of their faith, so why would I need to test their faith? James answered that question when he wrote that there are passions from hell that tempt, test and try My children in order to attempt to steal My children away from Me and engage them in sabotaging their freedom from the works of the devil. (James 1:12-15) He even wrote that the readers of his letter should not make the mistake of saying that bad events come from Me when he explained the origin of sin. He wrote to always keep that in mind, that it's demonic passions and not Me. (verse 19) Then James in his letter launched into numerous instructions relating to the thoughts, attitudes and actions of My children. First he wrote for them to be quick to hear the arguments of other people, then to be slow to speak and definitely be slow to engage in anger because a person's anger does not fulfill My righteousness. So he wrote that people must strip away everything that is filthy and excessive, meaning thoughts, attitudes and actions, and instead to humbly welcome the word that had taken root in you with the power to save you from the works of the devil. He wrote that the people must act on these valuable words. However, he wrote that if all you do is just listen to them and not do them, that you are deceiving yourself. (James 1:19-22) He wrote that anyone who listens to My words but does not practice them is like a man who looks into a mirror and sees the face that he was born with. Then he goes and promptly forgets what he looks like. Contrasting that man with the scriptures, James wrote that the person who looks into My new covenant of freedom from evil works and does not forget it but instead he practices My words, that person will be blessed abundantly in everything that he does. (James 1:23-25) Another advice that James gave to all believers is that they must control their tongue because if they don't they are deceived when they think that they are devoted to Me. He wrote that that person's worship is worthless and he or she might just as well not worship Me. (James 1:26) Then James wrote that looking after orphans and widows in their distress, mirroring the instructions of Paul and all of the apostles in their dealings with the churches is an important form of worship of Me. Plus, he wrote that keeping a person's self from yielding to the temptations of the world makes for perfect worship without demonic stains before Me, your God and Father. James' concise, right-to-the-truth teachings and advice are the Gospel in simple terms. (James 1:27) Your Father of Valuable and Workable Instructions

BLESSINGS FLOW FROM KIND AND ENCOURAGING WORDS

My Dear Precious Child, James was in agreement with Paul in most things but one difference was in his truth relating to being disciplined by Me. In this area of truth James' insight was more in direct line to Christ Jesus. When writing his letter to the Hebrews Paul included some doctrines that indicated that he considered the disciplines that come from Me to be more closely related to human fathers rather than to the relationship with Me which is always based on love and administered in love. Jesus Christ said that He disciplined His disciples with His words, not with vengeance and fleshly punitive ways. When He said for My children not to be vengeful, but instead to allow Me to execute vengeance against their enemies, He was referring to the demons which were influencing the people, not referring to his being vengeful against the people themselves. (Romans 12:19-21) It is assumed in Paul's discussion in his letter to the Hebrews that he believed that I execute discipline against My children in line of punishing them in the flesh so that they will be obedient to Me. I had the book of James placed immediately after the book of Hebrews in My Instruction Book to you in order to correct that erroneous inference from Paul. James was the brother of Jesus and he more closely observed Christ Jesus' method of disciple-ing His disciples than Paul did. James began his letter to all believers everywhere by writing that you should count it all joy when you are involved in any kind of trial from the devil, knowing that when your faith is tested by the devil that when you refuse his temptations to leave My family in disgust and you have built up your endurance for his next test of your faith. In fact, James wrote that when the time comes that your endurance pays off in your own defense of not yielding to the devil's depression and self-pity, that you have proved to the devil that you are mature because you are lacking nothing as far as receiving your inheritance from Me. James wrote that if you lack wisdom relating to the trial, the testing or the temptation that you must ask Me for My wisdom so that we will have a teaching moment between us and I will reveal to you what was going on behind the scenes of earth, looking into the devil's kingdom in order for you to begin to know your enemies, who are the devil and his demons, the spiritual beings who are the behind every evil act in the earth. Do I allow the devil to tempt or try you in order to teach you a lesson? Absolutely not. When you yield to evil you have done it as an act of your own will. I have nothing to do with it. James makes that truth clear in his letter to all believers. He wrote that if you lack wisdom about anything that you must ask in faith for wisdom from Me, never doubting, because a doubter is tossed about by every wind of doctrine that is taught to people by the devil and his demons through false prophets. When your mind is filled with doubt, you will not receive My wisdom because the demon of doubt has blocked the door to your mind and you can't receive My wisdom. (James 1:5-7) James compared the inability of a rich man to receive My wisdom with the spiritual ability of a person in humble circumstances to receive My wisdom. He wrote that the rich man will disappear like a flower in the field when the sun comes up and parches his meadow. The flowers will droop and the meadow's beauty is gone. James wrote that the rich man's resources will eventually dry up amid his many endeavors to maintain his fortune and he will come seeking for Me. James clearly revealed the rewards of a person who endures to the end of a trial because he wrote that that person will receive My crown of life once he has proved himself in the trial not to yield to the devil's personality and evil temptations by joining with him and responding with evil, which causes your own defeat if you yield. I have promised the crown of life to those who love Me and those people who resist the devil's temptation until he gives up on your yielding to the devil and acting like his child. Then James wrote a definite truth that must be elaborated by My children. He wrote that NO PERSON WHEN HE IS TEMPTED SHOULD SAY THAT HE HAS BEEN TEMPTED BY ME. (JAMES 1:13) He went on to write that I am not evil so I cannot tempt or try anyone. He went on to write that every person who is tempted or tried is done so by his own evil passions that are originated by demons. Once the person allows the demons to be conceived in his or her mind by incubating the evil thought in his mind, it gives birth to sin. He went on further to write that eventually sin will lead to death. That command is a strong, concise command by Me, giving you the wisdom that you must never blame Me for the devil's work in your life. (James 1: 14-15) Then James went on with more affirmation of the fact that evil comes from the devil and good comes from Me. He wrote that you must make no mistake about the truth that he was writing; that being this, "EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT COMES FROM ME, THE FATHER OF LIGHT, WHO CANNOT CHANGE AND DOES NOT HAVE THE HABIT OF TURNING INTO EVIL ON ONE HAND AND GOOD ON THE OTHER HAND," like was previously taught by many false prophets. The apostle John said it more concisely. He wrote this about My character: "GOD IS LIGHT AND IN HIM THERE IS NO DARKNESS." In his Instruction Book John wrote that that truth came directly from Christ Jesus by revelation. James went on to write in his letter to all believers that My will is to birth people as My children with My WORDS SPOKEN IN TRUTH so that you will be the first fruit of My new creation. Then James gave a firm command for you to always keep that truth in your mind. (James 1:16-19) Yet, some of My children still cling to the lie from hell that I maim on one hand and heal on the other, like some multiple personality/schizophrenic humans. They don't know Me. They only know Me by the hearing of the ear from some indoctrinated religious teachers who also are repeating erroneous teachings that they heard from their teachers. Somewhere down the line historically the devil was at the base of that lie. Job was cursed in his life when he had that lie ingrained in his view of Me. Only when Job knew Me face to face as Love, that is when all of his curses went away and My inheritance was poured into his life. (Job 42:2-5) Every person is a Job. The demons from hell spent the lifetime of every person convincing him through religion and politics that I am both evil and good. Only when My Holy Spirit comes to live inside of people are they enlightened to know Me as Love. James corrected many of the misconceptions of other teachers, even some that Paul had not yet had My Holy Spirit reveal to him about My discipline being by My words. The word discipline comes from the word disciple. Christ Jesus never exacted stern fleshly punishment on his disciples. He guided and taught them by His words. Like James said, go and do likewise.

BLESSINGS FROM OBEYING GOD

My Dear Precious Child, In Paul's informative letter to the Hebrew believers he was determined to spur some of them away from elementary teachings such as faith, the laying on of hands, the difference between water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism, your inheritance from Me, the judgment of demons and other simple foundation topics, encouraging them to go on to other teachings that would increase their faith until it is steadfast and immovable, which is the product of My Holy Spirit's power. He laid the groundwork in the first chapter of Hebrews by contrasting My angels, who are gifts that I give to My children in the earth and not to be worshiped, contrasting the angels to My Son Christ Jesus who is to be worshiped. Yet, he told the Hebrews not to neglect the great salvation that comes from the ministry of Christ Jesus who died for the sins of My children. My angels help Me through My Holy Spirit in facilitating the ministry of Christ Jesus just like they did when He walked in the earth. Paul wanted the Hebrews to be convinced about the ministering of My serving angels and My warring angels who battle against the demons who curse the earth and My children. (Ezekiel chapters 10 and 8) Paul was very insistent that believers become acquainted with the servants whom I have gifted to them. (Hebrews 1:7,14 and 2:1-3) Paul knew that the more the Hebrews knew about the spiritual dimensions around them that their faith would increase. Paul also wanted you and the Hebrew children to be informed by revelation the difference between hope and faith to which he referred in his letter as My promise and My oath. He wanted you to also know that My promises in the scriptures give you hope that I will grant your answers to prayers and the solution to your problems. However, mere hope does not cause you to inherit My magnificent gifts, it's faith that causes you to inherit them. Paul wrote that faith is the substance of things that you hope for, the evidence of things that you do not see with your natural eyes. So faith comes from three things that happened to the Jews who were in the upper room when My Holy Spirit baptized all of the people in that upper room on the day of Pentecost. All of the people began to prophesy, which means to speak for Me, in earthly languages that they had never spoken before, and that supernatural event gave to the people who spoke those languages insight into Me and My blessings. So the supernatural event is the oath in which I swear to you that increases the hope and makes it faith, which causes My children to inherit My blessings. (Acts 2:1-4) In the prophet Joel's prophesy from Me, he saw an image in his mind of what was going to happen that fateful day of Pentecost in the future. (Acts 2:17-21; Joel 3:1-5) Joel had prophesied that on that great day in the future that Holy Spirit baptized people would dream dreams, see visions and prophesy for Me, which means they will speak for Me. It is on those supernatural occasions that faith is multiplied in the minds of My children because it is through dreams, visions or My words through your mouth or in your mind that have formed an image of My supernatural events which are in the works for you. It is then that you have seen images of what I either am doing for you or images of what I will do for you. When you see those images in your mind, then supernatural faith is multiplied because you have seen things of substance in your human mind to match the things of substance that I am showing you that I am doing for you already in the spiritual dimension which surrounds you. So when My Holy Spirit gives you a dream, a vision or a personal word of prophesy, it is through one of those things that I take an oath by which nothing can rob you of your faith because of the substantial image that is then shown in your mind. (Hebrews 6:13-19) So My gifts of dreams, visions or personal words to you are what are called My oaths which produce the images in your mind of what I am doing to fulfill your needs, wants or desires, according to My will. Four times Paul wrote in his letter saying that if you hear His voice, don't harden your heart, like the Jews did in the rebellion. In other words, when you have heard My voice, had a vision or a dream and faith is high in you, don't listen to anyone or anything that will take away that faith. The devil will send someone to rob you of your faith, but you must be steadfast in the oath that I swore to you or showed you in a dream, vision or prophesy that would soon happen. If you hold firm to the promise and the oath, then you will inherit My gifts for you of answered prayers or solutions to problems. Those supernatural events of dreams, visions or prophesies are the substance of what you had hoped for, the visual evidence of things that I was producing to build faith in you for the answer to your prayers.(Hebrews 13:9) The good works that influence the appearance of the answers to your prayers are simple. I said that you must be steadfast in your faith by not allowing any false prophets to engage you in doctrines that will rob you of faith. I also said that you must be kind, hospitable, generous, to visit prisoners who are in chains for believing in Me, to refuse to love money, to refuse to be adulterous, to continue in doing good deeds, to be obedient to civil laws and to pray for your spiritual leaders, praying that they will act righteously in every respect. Paul then wrote that I, the God of peace who brought Christ Jesus up from the dead by the blood of the new and eternal covenant, will furnish you all that is good so that you may do My will in your life on earth. (Hebrews 12:9-23) Paul encouraged the Hebrew believers by telling them that Paul's companion Timothy had been released from prison. He concluded the letter with a prayer for them. (Hebrews 13:20-22) Paul's revelation on the ministry of My angels in your life on earth is one of the things that he encouraged you to seek to know so that your faith will increase.

BLESSINGS FROM SHOWING CHRISTIAN LOVE

My Dear Precious Child, My children must become knowledgeable about the spiritual dimension around them called the New Heavenly Jerusalem, My Kingdom of God, which includes a myriad of angelic servants, plus the spirits of the holy men who had prophesied the coming of My new covenant and then died but were resurrected with Christ Jesus, also the spirits of the firstborn just people who had believed in the ministry of Christ Jesus, also Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, also Me, the God who is the redeemer of all, and lastly the sprinkled blood of Jesus which speaks more eloquently than the blood of Abel, who was the first man killed. (Hebrews 12:22-24) After becoming enlightened about My Kingdom of God which lives inside of you and surrounds you, there are valuable instructions in the letter to the Hebrew believers relating to how to treat people in your earthly dimension, mainly that you treat your spiritual brothers and sisters with My love, which is resident inside of you in the person of the Holy Spirit.(John 14:17; Galatians 5:22; I Corinthians 3:16; II Corinthians 3:17) Also I told you through Paul in his letter to always be hospitable to strangers because you might be entertaining angels without knowing it. (Hebrews 13:2) He reminded them to not forget the prisoners as if you were sharing their chains, and not to forget the people who are ill treated by others because you may be one of them in the future. Paul also encouraged marriage and said to keep the marriage bed undefiled because the fornicators and adulterers are judged by their actions. Also he cautioned the believers not to love money but instead to be content with what you have because I have said that I will never desert you nor will I forsake you. He wrote that you, as well as the Hebrew believers, must always proclaim that I am your helper and that you will not be afraid because what can men do to you? (Hebrews 13:6-1-5) Paul in his letter encouraged the Hebrew believers to remember their Christian leaders who spoke My word to them, considering how they lived their lives by imitating their faith. He professed that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Adding to that admonition Paul wrote that the believers must be careful not to be manipulated by strange teachings. He wrote that it's good to have your heart strengthened by My grace and not by certain "holy foods," as was claimed by the Jews, which are useless to those who eat them as a standard of righteous living. He reminded the Hebrews that they had an altar from which the priests who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat, only the High Priest does. He also wrote that the bodies of the animals whose blood was brought into the sanctuary by the High Priest as a sin offering were burned outside of the camp; therefore Christ Jesus died outside of the gate to sanctify people by His own blood. So, therefore, you must go to Him outside of the camp, bearing the insult that He bore. He wrote that Jerusalem was no lasting earthly city but there was a City which welcomed them, that being My New Jerusalem. It is through Christ Jesus that believers are continually offering sacrifices of praise by the fruit of their lips which acknowledge My name as the One and Only True God. In every letter written by Paul one of the prevailing topics is your actions toward other people, mainly those of the household of faith. It may seem to you unnecessary that anyone would need to encourage believers how to treat their fellow believers; but you must remember that there were some believers who had been tossed about by winds of doctrines to believe it necessary to return to the Law, its circumcision and its restrictions of certain foods and drinks in order to become righteous in My eyes. Paul's teachings stressed that belief in Christ Jesus is all that is necessary for entering into My kingdom of God, stressing that it's not meat and drink; but, instead, it's righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:10; Hebrews 13:9-15) Any other addition is blasphemy. Don't believe any doctrine that complicates My New Covenant with the world. (Romans 10:13) Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved from the devil's works in the earth. Your Father of Uncomplicated Faith

BLESSINGS IN HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPIRITUAL REALM

My Dear Precious Child, In Paul's magnificently informative letter to the Hebrew believers He included never before written descriptions of the spiritual dimension that exists around you, information regarding the angels that I gave to you to serve believers in your lives on earth. He had written in the first portion of the letter about the ministry of My angels that I give to My children who inherit salvation. He identified them as "winds" and flames of "fire", describing the cherubim and the seraphim angels who were given to the Hebrew believers when they were gathered in the upper room waiting for My "Promise' to be revealed to them. Little did they know that My promise would include My giving to each person who becomes born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit the gift of spiritual servants who are to aid them in their lives on earth, which increases their power over evil in the earth. My angels who appear in the earth as winds and flames of fire are servants to My children and they are not to be worshiped but instead are to be appreciated as My gifts to them to help them. (ACTS 2:1-4) Anyone who was present in the upper room when My new covenant of the Holy Spirit began, they realized as they read Paul's letter to the Hebrews that what I had done on that glorious occasion of Pentecost was that My heaven came into the earth as had been prophesied and as Jesus Christ had encouraged the disciples to pray, that My kingdom of heaven had come into the earth so that My will could finally be done in the earth. (Matthew 6:10) Their experience on the day of Pentecost had given My power to them when My Holy Spirit came into them and surrounded them. Like I told you years ago, the more you know about the spiritual dimension around you, the more faith you will have because spiritual faith increases as My words are revealed to our human mind. Later in the letter Paul wrote about the other spiritual beings who came into the earthly dimension that day in order to help provide POWER to My children of promise. (Hebrews 12:1-2) After Paul wrote to the Hebrews that they were surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, having identified some of them as angels and some identified as the champions of faith whom he had identified in the same letter as not having inherited My promise while they were in the flesh but they had been made perfect in My heaven and were also part of the spiritual cloud of witnesses, called My kingdom of heaven, that surrounds every one of My born again believers in Christ Jesus. He wrote that because believers in Christ Jesus are surrounded by this magnificent and powerful cloud of witnesses, then they must certainly lay aside or cast out of themselves every encumbrance of sin, speaking about demons who cause people to sin, and he challenged them that they must persevere in running the race that laid ahead of them, keeping their eyes on Christ Jesus who inspires and perfects their own faith because He endured the cross, not even recognifing the shame of being crucified. Christ Jesus had taken His seat at My right hand of the throne, remembering that He did not even grow sad about sinners nor did He abandon the struggle. Paul wrote that in their own struggles against the demons that caused them to sin, they had not yet resisted sin to the point of sweating blood like Jesus had. He wrote to the believers that they had forgotten the words of the prophet which said for them not to disdain My disciplne or lose heart when I reprimand them, because I train you because I love you and I correct you when you are taking a wrong path in order for Me to lead you back onto the right path. (Hebrews 11:5-6) Later in the letter to the Hebrews Paul wrote more about the wonderful cloud of witnesses who surround you in the spiritual dimension. He named the wonderful crowd of witnesses by whom they had become surrounded, and he compared them to the occurrence of the Israelites when Moses, on the mountain of Sinai, received the Mosaic law when My voice spoke the commandments and Moses received them with fear and trembling. Instead of the fear and trembling that were caused by that occurrence, Paul wrote that when My new covenant of the Holy Spirit began that the obedient Jews in the upper room at Jerusalem had approached Mount Zion, My city called the heavenly Jerusalem, which includes (1.) My myriads of angels, of which Paul had previously written earlier in the letter, and they had approached (2.) the assembly of the first born who had been resurrected from the dead along with Jesus and entered with Him into heaven, also (3.) they were surrounded by the spirits of firstborn believers who had died in their flesh but were also resurrected into heaven, and (4.) I am in that crowd of witnesses and also (5.) Jesus who mediated the new covenant, and (6.) the sprinkled blood of Jesus, which speaks more eloquently than the blood of Abel. That description by Paul includes all of the spiritual beings who are present in My kingdom of heaven which comes to live in you and surround you, your having been already resurrected from the dead. When it happened the first time on the day of the first Pentecost, the people were so joyful that they were accused of being drunk with wine. (Acts 2:12-13) The same scenario happens when My children become born again and baptized in My Holy Spirit. They become surrounded by My heaven because the partition between heaven and earth has been removed, as previously demonstrated when the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom. (Matthew 27:21) Paul wrote that the Hebrews must endure their own trials as having been disciplined by Me. He was still not privy to the truth that bad things in the life of humans come from the demons whom Adam allowed to flood the earth with their curses. Paul' s writings contained truths, but his revelation about the source of the discipline was not correct at that time. James later wrote a more truth-filled letter in which he wrote that when bad things come upon a person that the person should never say that those bad things come from Me because I am not evil, therefore I cannot bring evil upon anyone. (James 1:13-18) James knew that the trials of life come from the person's own evil desires, which come from the demons who try the faith of a person in order to rob the person of all of his or her promises from Me. Paul even compared My training of My children to the discipline of human fathers, saying that My training is the same or similar. However, Jesus had said that His disciples were disciplined by His words, not by bad things coming into their lives from Me because I have no evil deeds with which to discipline My children. I discipline My children the way that Christ Jesus discipled His own disciples, with My words. My trainining is different than discipline. Discipline infers that a disobedience has occurred. Training is My one-on-one personal guidance that leads to behavior which will avoid the pitfalls that the devil puts in the paths of My children. Referring to training, Paul wrote to the Hebrews that they must strengthen their drooping hands and their weak knees, making straight their paths so that their limbs will be healed instead of dislocated. (Hebrews 12:12) In his letter to the Hebrews, Paul wrote that My children must strive for peace with all people and to be holy, without which no one can see Me in the flesh. He instructed them not to fall away from my grace so that no bitter root springs up from which many people had become polluted. He challenged the Hebrews not to be like Esau who had sold his birthright for a meal, which meant that he had no chance to change his course, even though he sought his blessings with tears. (Hebrews 12:14-17) Paul also, for the fourth time in his letter, again warned the Jews not to refuse to hear My voice, just like the Israelites did not escape evil events when they refused to listen to Me when I spoke to them on earth. Consider how many evil events will come upon you if you refuse to hear My voice when I speak to you from heaven. My voice shook the earth when I spoke to Moses, and I will shake things that can be shaken from you so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain, meaning I will shake the demons loose from your body and mind. Since you have received an unshakable kingdom, you must hold fast to My grace through which you offer acceptable worship to Me in reverence and awe, for I am a CONSUMING FIRE, eager to consume all evil and send the demons into the lake of fire which I prepared for them from the foundation of the earth. (Hebrews 12:25-29; Matthew 13:36-42) Paul's efforts described the presence of My kingdom of heaven in your life on earth that persists as long as My will is done in your life, and he cautioned you to keep peace with everyone and to hear My voice and then obey it so that My kingdom of God will prevail in your life. Your Father of a Plan of Certainty and Stability.
