PAUL'S LAST INSTRUCTIONS TO THE ROMAN CHURCH

My Dear Precious Child,
   Just like the Mosaic Law was given to the Jews to identify the devil's temptations so that the people would not yield to them, My letters, warnings and  words through Paul to the churches were given for the same purpose, to alert My children to the evil that had invaded their churches so that, having been alerted to the devil's temptations, the people would work to allow My Spirit to purify them.  I had told them that a little leaven will leaven the whole lump.  In other words, once they allow the devil's works to pollute even one of their group, there is a danger that the rest will become polluted.  You had observed that when demons temp someone to sin by going outside of My will and obeying evil temptations, then the consequences of those sins don't happen immediately or My children would connect their evil actions with the destruction and death in their lives.  The devil waits long enough before causing the consequences of transgressions to happen so that My children will be blind to the connection between their fraternizing with the devil and the consequences which come much later. 
   Through Paul's writings, he alerted the Christians to the leaven that had come into their groups that were already starting to poison the whole group.  He told them that it was time for them to wake up because the time was coming soon for their entire salvation,  He said that darkness was soon to be over and daylight would dawn because he thought that Christ Jesus was coming to earth soon. He encouraged them to arm themselves and said that they would appear in the light of Christ.  His instructions were for them to live decently as people do in the daytime; no drunken orgies, no promiscuity and no unrestrained sexual activities, no fighting among themselves and no jealousy.  He told them to forget about satisfying their bodily cravings and instead to put on the Lord Jesus Christ as their armor. (Romans 13:11-14)
    For the people who were weak in faith, Paul told the believers to welcome them into their congregations without arguments.  He said there were people who eat every kind of meat but there were also people who only ate vegetables.  He said that for whatever they had faith, that other people should not condemn them.  If you eat every kind of meat that has been blessed, don't despise the vegetarians.  Also, if you are a vegetarian, don't condemn the meat eaters.  He said not to condemn anyone who observes feast days if you consider yourself free from those ceremonies.  The people who observe the feast days do so as honoring Me and the people who are free from the feasts, having already had the prophesies fulfilled in the feasts to become real in their lives, they are also honoring Me by being free.  The reason for refusing to condemn others is because Christ died for the dead and for the living.  That is why you must not judge anyone with contempt, as some of My children do.  You must do what your conscience tells you to do.  If your conscience tells you not to eat meat, then it would be a sin if you did.  If your conscience tells you that you are free to eat meat, then it would be contemptible for you not to eat meat that has been blessed.  Whatever every person's conscience tells him or her, do it.  (Romans 14:1-12)
    However, don't pass judgment on each other. Make up your mind to never be a cause for someone to stumble and fall from what his own conscience tells him.  Paul wrote that as far as he was concerned no food is unclean and all food is good to eat.  But if someone thinks that a food is unclean, then it is unclean for him or her.  If he or she eats what the conscience says is prohibited, then guilt and condemnation will curse them.  (Romans 14:13-15)  Don't judge that person for what his or her conscience dictates.  If you do, then you might cause him or her to stumble in faith.
    So if your eating meat or not eating meat upsets your brother or sister in Christ, then you are not being guided by love.  You are not free to eat something if that means the downfall of someone for whom Christ died.  It is under those instructions that Paul wrote that My kingdom of heaven does not consist of meat and drink, but it does consist of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.  If you serve Christ to others with righteousness, peace and joy, then it will please Me and you will be respected by other people.  Adopt every custom that leads to peace and mutual improvement; so don't destroy the unity of your group by arguments over food.  The best thing to do is to abstain from meat and wine and anything else that would cause your brother to trip and fall or become weakened in any way.  Hold on to your own belief as between you and Me and respect a person who does not go against his own conscience.  Anyone who eats in a state of condemnation is not eating in good faith.  Every act done in bad faith is a sin for the person.  (Romans 14:16-23)
     All of My children must put the faith of others above themselves and refuse to condemn other people who are weak in faith if your conscience is free of the limitations of the Law, as Jesus was.  Always help other people to become stronger Christians by not thinking of your own self above their beliefs.  Paul said that Christ who helps us when we are weak will help you to also be tolerant of others who are weak in faith so that you will be united in mind and voice and you will in unity give praise to Christ and to Me.  The only way that Christ could fulfill the promises made to the old covenant patriarchs, as well as to take the Good News to the pagans, is for My mercy to flood into the lives of everyone through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus.
    Holding onto hope, allow Me to bring joy, peace and faith into your life so that your hope will abound.  (Romans 15:1-6) Love the people who are weak in faith that they keep Jewish feasts and dietary restrictions.
    Heed the writings of My Holy Spirit through Paul in His chastening of the early Christians.  Strive for that unity of faith, forgiveness and understanding that Christ Jesus taught to you.  Keep your own body free from yielding to temptations of sexual immorality, jealousy, stiff necked doctrines and arguments over them.  Let every one of your actions be done in love, for love fulfills all of the Jewish Law.(Galatians 5:14)

BENEFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO THE ROMAN CHURCH

My Dear Precious Child,
    The apostle Paul was concerned that the members of the Roman Church would think more highly of their own places in the body of Christ.  He told them to not be taken by their own self importance but to consider the value of the gifts of everyone else which blend together to make one body.  He said if someone's gift is prophesy, let him prophesy; if it's administration, then let him administer kindly; if it's teaching, then let him teach; if it's preaching, then let him give sermons; if it's giving, then let him give freely; to let the officiating be diligent; and if it's doing works of mercy, then let him do so cheerfully.  (Romans 12:3-8)
    Following those words of encouragement, Paul added My instructions which are necessary to keep them on the narrow path that leads to the abundant life and righteousness.  He wrote;
LET YOUR LOVE BE WITHOUT PRETENSE. 
SINCERELY PREFER GOOD OVER EVIL.
LOVE EACH OTHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS SHOULD.
HAVE A HEALTHY RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER.
WORK FOR THE LORD TIRELESSLY, WITH EARNESTNESS OF SPIRIT.
ALWAYS BE HOPEFUL WHICH WILL MAKE YOU CHEERFUL.
SHARE YOUR BOUNTY WITH OTHERS.
BE HOSPITABLE WITH SPECIAL CARE.
BLESS THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU.
NEVER CURSE YOUR PERSECUTORS; INSTEAD BLESS THEM.
REJOICE WITH THOSE WHO REJOICE AND BE SAD WITH THE SORROWFUL.
TREAT EVERYONE WITH EQUAL KINDNESS.
NEVER BE CONDESCENDING; INSTEAD MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE POOR.
NEVER BECOME SELF-SATISFIED WITH YOUR OWN ACTIONS.
NEVER REPAY EVIL WITH EVIL.
ALWAYS OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD.
LIVE AT PEACE WITH EVERYONE.
NEVER SEEK REVENGE; LEAVE THAT UP TO ME.
IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM.
IF YOUR ENEMY IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM SOMETHING TO DRINK.
RESIST EVIL AND CONQUER IT WITH GOOD. (Romans 12:9-21)
    When you do kind actions toward your enemies, you heap red-hot coals on their heads, meaning you are sending My angels to begin to change their thoughts toward you from bad to good.  (Ezekiel 10:2)
   Paul instructed the Roman Christians to obey the laws of their land and to pay their taxes, mirroring their Brother Christ Jesus who told them to give to Caesar what he deserves as a human despot, but to give to Me their worship, their praise, their allegiance, their loyalty, their devotion and their hearts. (Romans 13:1-7; Matthew 22:21)
   He told My children to avoid getting into debt with other people; but what you do owe to everyone as My child is LOVE.  He wrote that you have fulfilled all of the commandments if you love your fellow sojourners on the earth.  He explained that the commandment of not committing adultery, not killing, not stealing, not coveting are all summed up in a single command, that you must love your neighbor as yourself.  He simplified his instructions by saying that love is the only emotion and action that cannot hurt other people and that is why it is the answer to all of the commandments. (Romans 13:8-10)
    Paul's instructions were meant to keep the believers on the straight and narrow path that leads to the abundant life.  He had written the same ones, though in different words, to all of the churches to enable them to live fully in My kingdom of heaven that came upon them when they were born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  My reminders are good wake-up calls to people who are beginning to veer away from My righteousness toward the path of destruction. 
   My Holy Spirit was ministering My loving chastisement through Paul to some of My children who had begun to leave faith in Christ Jesus behind and embrace the Mosaic Law again as manipulated by false prophets.  The devil never stops enticing My children to deny faith in Christ as the way to salvation.  After all, the reason Jesus Christ came to earth was to destroy the works of the devil.  Jesus Christ sent My Holy Spirit to live inside of My children of promise in order for them to allow My Holy Spirit to continue the ministry of Christ in the world by destroying the works of the devil. (I John 3:8)

SAVING UNGODLY PAGANS AND JEWS

My Dear Precious Child,
   In Paul's letter to the early Roman believers he confessed that he was sad and in endless anguish that his own brotherhood, the nation of Israel, had turned from Me and was satisfied with the unbelief that prevailed in their religious practices, which were not spiritual at all.  The Pharisees had watered down the Mosaic Law until it was meaningless, robbing them of truth until their religious practices were rote and unimpressive, even to the worshipers themselves.  Paul said that he would even give himself up to be cut off from Christ in order to help his relatives in Israel, his own flesh and blood.  He said they were adopted sons, given My glory and My covenant, that there were promises made to them, that they descended from patriarchs and that Christ came from their flesh and blood, The Christ whom I have forever blessed. (Romans 9:1-8) He said that they were supposed to be blessed people but instead were cursed by placing their faith in Mosaic Law to save them from the works of the devil. It was never meant for salvation.  It was given by Me to identify the works of the devil so that My children would refust to yield to temptations to do evil. (Romans 3:19-20)
    Paul asked if I had failed to keep My promise to the Jews?  Again he said of course not.  Then he wrote that there is nothing of physical descent that makes you My children.  It is being My children of promise by being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit that brings My children into My family.(Romans 9:6-9)  So does that make Me unjust?  No.  I said that I would have mercy upon whom I will have mercy.  (Romans 9:19-21)  He compares conversion by My Holy Spirit to a pot who doesn't ask a potter why he made it that way.  In other words, you must not question My methods and plans for the salvation of the world.
     He wrote that I patiently put up with people, even those who disappoint Me and make Me sad by their choosing evil over My good.  Under old covenant Mosaic Law, they deserve to be destroyed, but I don't destroy them.  I am the Father of Life. (Romans 9:23-24)  It is their choosing evil over good that allows the devil to destroy their lives because they have chosen the devil as their father instead of Me.  I wanted to reveal My glory for a long time, whether to Jews or pagans who are the called people.  Paul wrote about the prophet Hosea who prophesied that to a nation I never loved that I would say to them that they are My people and they will become My children, speaking of the Gentiles pagans. (Romans 9:16)  Only a small portion of the Jews became My children of promise by being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Spirit.  The rest were blinded to the divinity of Christ Jesus who died and went to hell for their sins.
     It was inconceivable to the Jews that the Gentile pagans, a nation that was not looking for righteousness, found it all the same.  The Gentiles found a salvation that was of faith instead of seeking salvation by good deeds, as did the children of Mosaic Law.  The salvation that the pagans received was of Me and not of humans themselves.  The Jews continued to stumble over the stumbling stone, a rock sent to trip men up, and only those people who believe in Christ have no cause for shame.  (Romans 9:30-33)  Paul wrote that he had nothing but love for the Jews and he prayed that they might be saved.  He understood that the Mosaic Law came to an end with Christ because it was replaced by My new covenant of the Holy Spirit.  The difference in the two covenants is that the covenant of My Holy Spirit is a result of My grace, My free gift, and not from humans themselves being obedient to laws.  The salvation which is of themselves by obeying the Law is impossible because no one can obey all of the Law. 
     Paul's revelation was that My children should not ask who will go to heaven to bring Christ Jesus down again, or who will go down to the underworld to bring Christ up again.  He told them that THE WORD OF FAITH IS IN THEIR MOUTHS AND IN THEIR HEARTS, that when you profess Jesus Christ as Lord and believe in your heart that I raised Him from the dead you will be saved from the devil's works of evil in the world.  It is merely believing from the heart and confessing with your lips that qualifies you to be born of My Spirit and saved from evil.  (Romans 10:5-11)  Everyone who believes in his heart that Christ Jesus rose from the dead will become My child and will be saved from the works of the devil.  As a benefit, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord in dire circumstances will be saved from destruction.  (Romans 10:12-13)
    But people will not call on him for help unless they believe in Him, and they won't believe in Him unless they have heard of Him, and how can they hear if they don't have someone to tell them about Him?  Faith comes by hearing what is told about Christ Jesus in conversation.  What is told about Him comes from My words which are testimonies about His ministry of reconciliation. (Romans 10:14-17)
    In Paul's explanation of the Jews refusing to believe on Christ Jesus he asked if it is possible that the Jews did not hear the gospel being preached?  He wrote that if they heard the gospel, then maybe they didn't understand.  Isaiah spoke for Me when he prophesied that I had been found by people who did not seek for Me and that I was found by people who had not consulted with Me.  Yet, I told the Jews that every day I had stretched out My hand to them but they were disobedient and rebellious.  (Romans 10:20-21)
    Paul also wrote, as led by My Spirit, that I have not rejected My children.  (Romans 11:1-4)  He answered that I would never reject anyone whom I chose years ago.   They have rejected Me.  Even though they killed My prophets and destroyed My altars, I have been patient with them.  A remnant always remains in order that others will be saved.  Once they understand that it is by My grace that they are saved and not by obedience to religious laws, then they will individually believe in faith that I raised Christ Jesus from the dead. 
   Christ Jesus warned the Pharisaical Jews that they would not be saved until they called upon the Person whom they had rejected, meaning Christ Jesus. (Matthew 23:33-37)  So the pagans benefited from the falling away because I personally called Paul to be My apostle to the pagans who had no religious laws with which to contend as a different way to salvation.  The pagans heard and therefore believed.  (Romans 11:12-15)
    Every person comes to Me on his own behalf, Jew and Gentile.  Every Jew whose spiritual eyes are opened will come to Me and call upon Me to be saved, and that person will be saved from the devil's works in the earth. (I John 3:8) Many others will follow their example.  They will be blessed abundantly because they will see the transformation of people and the restoration of families.  They will finally say, "Blessed is Jesus Christ who came in the name of the Lord." (Matthew 23:37-39)

THE LORD IS THE SPIRIT

My Dear Precious Child,
    Included in My corrections to the Roman church in My Instruction Book, through Paul I cautioned them about the curses that come upon My children if they return to the rules and regulations of Mosaic Law in an effort to boost their salvation by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Even though many of My children of promise in the Roman church were born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, because they had remained spiritual babies, like the Corinthians, they were unschooled in the ministry of My Holy Spirit through them.  They stayed ignorant of My mysterious plan which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.  Instead of individually seeking My kingdom and My righteousness for themselves, they waited for someone to come to teach them.  They didn't pay attention to the words of Christ Jesus who said that My Holy Spirit became the private tutor of My children when Jesus came to sit down with Me in My heaven.  (John 16:13)
    Unfortunately, the devil sent false prophets who came into the midst of the Roman church and talked many of My children into going backwards into religious laws instead of progressing forward in faith.  Those false prophets also convinced the converted pagans to incorporate old covenant laws in addition to their faith, which polluted their faith.  The false prophets were convincing when they taught that the believers in Rome needed to cover all bases and incorporate the old covenant of Mosaic Law in with their new faith that they found in My new covenant of the Holy Spirit.  Paul told them that the problem was that they also inherited the curses that the devil gives to his children because he uses the old laws to condemn My children.  He reminded them that the Law became the law of sin and death after the devil started using it to bring guilt into the minds of My children.  What I intended for good, for identifying the devil's work, the devil used to condemn My children.
    In My words of correction to My children in the first church through Paul, I reminded them in extensive writings about the value of their salvation through faith in Christ Jesus' being raised from the dead, their being cleansed by the blood of Christ Jesus and then their being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, resulting in their being filled with My power.  I told them that Jesus had sat down with Me in My heaven and had sent into My children of promise the same power of My Holy Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead.  I reminded them that My Holy Spirit lives inside of them with My mighty power and that they have all of My power, might and ability inside of them in order to allow My Holy Spirit to carry on the ministry of Christ in the world through them by destroying the works of the devil.  Thus they had all of the power of My kingdom of heaven to destroy the works of the devil, which was the reason Christ Jesus came into the world, having been sent there by Me. (I John 3:8)  My Holy Spirit was meant to carry on My ministry through My children of promise, the same ministry that He began through Christ Jesus.  (Romans 8:1-26)
    In an effort to remind My children again about what they possess on the inside of them, I impressed Paul to write in His letter to the believers in Rome that they, and you, have a treasure in human vessels so that the exellence of the power in them might be known to be of Me and not of them. (II Corinthians 4:7)  The apostle Paul said that he prayed in tongues more than any of the believers; so, fortunately he did know the truth about the power of My words spoken through their mouths in My spiritual languages, that My words have the power to change their world and people.
   Paul wrote that My Holy Spirit comes to aid the weakness of believers when they don't know how to pray.  He said that My Spirit prays My words that can never be spoken in their own human languages.  He prays spiritual words that contain the solutions to the pleas of My children and they are expressed by the Holy Spirit according to My will.  (Romans 8:26-27)  No human could ever speak in human languages any words that contain the deep things that My Holy Spirit prays through the mouths of My children in My spiritual languages, commonly called other tongues.  They are languages that are spiritual instead of human. 
    In intercessory prayers My Spirit speaks solutions to earthly problems in My words when My children allow Him to pray through their mouths in the same spiritual language with which I created their world.  It is through those words that My commands are given to the angelic hosts who are the cherubim angels, servants whom I gave to My children who are the inheritors of salvation. (Hebrews 1:14)  They are the angels whom Ezekiel saw in his vision who were dispatched by Me to do My works in the earth in the lives of My children according to the command of the Holy Spirit.  Every place My Holy Spirit goes, My angels are present to do My will.  In Ezekiel it is revealed that My angels appear as winds and fires in the earth.  (Ezekiel 4:5-5 and 13 and 20; Hebrews 1:7-9) My Holy Spirit is the Five Star General and the angels are the privates, the corporals, the lieutenants and the majors of My army against evil.   My angels are obedient to every one of My spiritual words spoken in intercessory prayers through the mouths of My children. (Joel 2:28-32 and Joel 3:9-12)
    It is through My children walking in love and praying intercessory prayers that My Holy Spirit is able to turn everything to good for My children who are in Christ Jesus who are born in My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  The ones who are led by My Spirit, baptized in My Spirit and pray in My Holy Spirit are My true children just as Christ is My oldest Son made in My image.  I wrote through Paul that My true children are led by My Holy Spirit and if they also pray in My Holy Spirit that all things will work together for their good while they live in the earth. (Romans 8:14 + Romans 8:26-27=Romans 8:28)  To be led by My Spirit is to love the unloved, the sinners, the pagans, the Pharisees, the false prophets, the criminals, the immigrants, the strangers, your enemies and your brothers and sisters in Christ.
    With those wonderful promises and revelations, with Me on your side who can be against you?  Nothing can come between you and My love, not death, life, angels, princes, nothing that exists in your world, nothing that is to come, no power, nothing high or deep, no worry or fear, and no created thing can come between you and My love as was made visible in Christ Jesus the Lord.  (Romans 8:35-39)  So when you walk in My Spirit, none of those things can separate other people from My love as exhibited through you.
    In the letter supposedly authored by Peter, the writer said that it is through the  divine power of My Holy Spirit that I have given to My children everything necessary for the abundant life and true devotion by bringing you to intimately know Me.  He said that I have called you into an intimate relationship with Me by My goodness and My glory.  He wrote that it is through My generous gifts of My Spirit to you that I have given to you the guarantee of something very great and wonderful to come in your life.  My Spirit wrote through that writer that through My gifts to you that you are able to share in My divine nature and to escape the corruption that is in the world that is consumed with vice. 
    He wrote that in order to attain a close relationship with Me that you must add goodness to your faith, also add spiritual understanding, self control, patience, devotion, kindness and love, which are the characteristics of My Holy Spirit who lives inside of you and longs to change your body and mind into My image.  He wrote that when you have a generous supply of My characteristics that you will not be unproductive or ineffectual but that you will have the full knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. (II Peter 1:3-8) He was mirroring Christ Jesus who said that My Holy Spirit would change you into My temple of the Holy Spirit in order for you to allow My Spirit to carry on the ministry of Christ in the world through you.  (John 16:12-15)
    You have no need to wait for a reappearance of My Son, for whom the Jews are still looking.  Christ Jesus came to live inside of you in the person of the Holy Spirit with all of My attributes and My power.  We are One, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Give the same honor to My Holy Spirit that you give to Me.  He continued the ministry of Jesus Christ in the world when Jesus laid down His ministry and sat down with Me in My heaven.  The work of Jesus was done and He sent His power source, My Holy Spirit, into My children of promise to create them into My image with the same power that Christ had, but with the added authority to send evil spirits to hell, which was the authority that Jesus Christ retrieved from the devil when He was in hell for the sins of the world.  (Matthew 28:16-20) 
    I said that the entire creation is waiting for My children of promise to realize what they have inside of them, the most magnificent power in the universe, My Holy Spirit.

STOP SLAVERY TO DECADENCE

STOP THE SLAVERY TO DECADENCE
My Dear Precious Child,
   In Paul's revelation that he had relating to the power that My children have inside of them in the person of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote to the Romans that the whole creation is waiting for My children to seek Me and My kingdom until they receive the revelation from Me that they are truly My children, endued with My mighty power from on high, the most mighty power in the universe.  As My children, you need to know that because of My power that is in you, the rest of creation is patiently waiting for you to take your place of honor as My children and exercise your authority in the earth over the devil's decadence in your world. 
   Some of My children are blinded to My power that you have inside of you.  Some of My children are stuck mentally in the wonderful truth of the ministry of Jesus Christ who made it possible for you to come to live with Me in My heaven for eternity, but some of My children have not progressed past that ministry of Christ into celebrating and furthering the ministry of My Spirit in the earth of being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit which causes My kingdom of heaven to become evident in your life while you are still on earth.  Many of My children have not taken to heart the teachings of your brotherly hero Christ Jesus who taught in his parables of the kingdom about you casting the demons who tempt you out of your life and into the lake of fire. (Matthew 13:36-43) So, many of My children who are born of My Spirit are not doing the greater things by the power of My Holy Spirit that Christ Jesus prophesied that you would have the power to do when My Holy Spirit comes to live in you and surround you.  (Hebrews 12:1 and 22-29)
    My children of promise need to allow My Holy Spirit to take authority in their lives and instigate their total freedom from the temptation to sin caused by their obeying the voice of the devil in their thoughts.  Christ Jesus sent His power over the devil to live inside of you, but some of My children wait for Jesus to come back into the earth and save them from the works of the devil when He gave to you the most powerful Being in the universe to live inside of you to defeat every evil demon in your life and in your world.  My Spirit wrote through Paul that the world waits to enjoy the same freedom that some of My children enjoy and experience in their lives by sending the offending demons to hell who tempt and torment them. (Romans 8:20-23) It can easily be done by intercessory prayers or by the anointing of My Spirit which comes when I reveal to you the demons that need to be exorcised from your life and from the earth so that you will not be tempted again by that demon.
    Paul told the Roman believers that the entire creation from then until now have been groaning in one action of giving birth.  He said that those who posses the first fruits of My Holy Spirit by only being born again also groan inwardly as they wait for their bodies to also be set free from decadence.  It is only by the baptism in My Holy Spirit that My children can have the power to set their bodies free from sinning. (Romans 8:20-24) Many of them, including Paul, were looking forward to the return of Christ Jesus for their bodies to be set free.  They are denying the power of My Holy Spirit, even though they know that the miracles that Christ Jesus did was because He was empowered by the baptism of My Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17)  He is the same Holy Spirit who catapulted Christ out of hell and into the earth again.  When He lives in you He longs to clear your world of decadence and it begins with the generational curses in My children of promise.
    Believers were waiting for an external event to happen.  My promise was through Jesus Christ that I would make your spiritual enemies a foot stool for My feet by coming to live inside of My children through the presence of the Holy Spirit and cast all offending demons into hell through the power of My Spirit residing in My own children.  Christ Jesus taught it when He taught the many parables of the kingdom of heaven coming into the earth.  (Matthew 13:36-43)  His promise to My children is still waiting to be fulfilled, waiting for My children to know the power that they have in the presence of My Holy Spirit who lives inside of them.
     Paul told the Corinthians, and you, that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. (I Corinthians 3:16)  He also said that My Spirit is Lord in the earth.  He added that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty from the decadence in the world.  (II Corinthians 3:17-18)  My children grow brighter and brighter as they reflect My image in the world, which is the work of the Lord who is Holy Spirit.

LIVING THE LIFE OF CHRIST

My Dear Precious Child,
   To My children of promise, one of the most wonderful advantages to being a part of My covenant of the Holy Spirit is that there is no condemnation for you because the punishment for your sins has already been served when Jesus Christ went to hell.  My Holy Spirit wrote through Paul that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who are led by My Holy Spirit instead of being bound to the old covenant of laws which brings the devil's condemnation upon them.  Christ Jesus set My children of promise free from the law of sin and death when He came to live inside of them in the person of My Holy Spirit, forming an umbilical cord from Me to them.  Through that invisible umbilical cord comes My personal words which lead them around traps set by the devil instead of their falling for the traps to sin as the evil one tempts in their thoughts.  Because My children who hear from My Spirit are no longer deceived by the temptations, they cast evil tempting thoughts out of their minds and into hell. (Matthew 13:36-43) Those of My children who are led by My Holy Spirit are no longer led by the voices from hell who tempt them to do evil so there is no condemnation for them. (Romans 8:1-4) For those of My children who have reverted back to having faith in Mosaic Law, there is condemnation for them because they are bound to sins.
    Because of prior programming by the devil of your flesh, I did through My new covenant of the Holy Spirit what the Mosaic Law could not do.  The devil had programmed the flesh of all people to engage in actions which would curse them and their families throughout generations. (Romans 8:3) At the beginning of the world and after his deception of Adam and eve, all the devil had to do was feed genes of fear, shame, condemnation, guilt, perversion, murder, abuse and many other evil demons into the first man and his mate and those genes were handed down throughout history through generation after generation.  To My children who were originally created in My image those demonic genes made them become the images of the devil in their thinking and actions.  So when evil tempted them, they obeyed.  Mosaic Law could not stop their actions.  All it did was bring condemnation and guilt upon them as initiated by the devil. 
    In case the first man yielded to evil temptations and allowed the devil to flood the earth with his curses, from the foundation of the world I had a mysterious plan hidden in My mind which worked perfectly.  I sent My Son Jesus in a human body so that He could go to hell for all of the sins of the whole world.  He fulfilled the Law's requirement for being a sinner, even though He never sinned.  He was crucified, went to hell and rose from the dead so that you might be resurrected from the dead to a new life also and enjoy My heaven on earth as well as live with Me in eternity when your earthly body gives up.   (Romans 8:4)  As resurrected people in the earth My children have inherited the same source of power, My Holy Spirit, the same power who empowered and motivated Christ Jesus with My authoritative power over all evil and then raised Him from the dead. (John 14:16-20; John 16:5-16; Romans 8:11) 
    The unspiritual nature of the flesh of all people is only interested in unspiritual things; the new spiritual creation in you is interested only in spiritual things.  The unspiritual flesh is at war with Me and I am at war with the demons who control the unspiritual nature of people, the mind and body which is called the flesh.  There is a constant battle for lordship between the devil who motivates the flesh and My Holy Spirit who motivates your spirit.  In other words we vie for influence over the entire person.  When the unspiritual flesh (body and mind) is in control, then there is no desire to please Me.  But when My children are led by My Holy Spirit they are not subject to any religious laws because they are led by My words instead of by the ineffective religious written Law which the devil uses to condemn people.  For My children in whom My Spirit lives and motivates, you must be determined to be dead to temptations to sin.  To My children who are led and motivated by My Holy Spirit, My powerful life source comes into your mortal, unspiritual bodies through My Spirit who lives in you and changes you day by day, changing you into My image in the world.(Romans 8:5-11)
    Paul made it clear to My children in the church at Rome that because of Christ and My Holy Spirit, it is not necessary for them or for you to obey temptations that come into your unspiritual mind or for you to live an unspiritual life.  If you do choose to live that way, then you are doomed to live a cursed life while in the earth and then to die.  However, if you live motivated by My Holy Spirit, you put to death the misdeeds of your unspiritual flesh and you will live surrounded by My kingdom of heaven while in the earth, and in the world to come you will have eternal life.  (Matthew 10:29-30; Romans 8:12-13) 
    Paul wrote in his letter that everyone who is led and motivated by My Holy Spirit is My child.  He said that the Holy Spirit whom you received is not the spirit of slavery to the devil which leads to fear; instead, you have received My Spirit who makes you My child which allows you to call out to Me as your Father.  My Holy Spirit and your spirit unite to assure you that you are My child.  If you are My child, then you are an heir, as well as coheirs with Christ, heirs to all of the blessings of My kingdom. (Romans 8:14-17)
    Paul spent many pages in his letter trying to convince My children in Rome that they were no longer mere humans but instead they were My children who were empowered in their lives on earth with the supernatural power of My Spirit.  Listen to his words that tell you that My Spirit made you into a new creation with My divine nature in your spirit.  The continuing ministry of My Spirit is to transform your flesh into My image also so that you will become peaceful in every endeavor and be called My children.  (Matthew 5:9)  Then people will see you and know Me, for My kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17)

THE DEVIL'S PERVERSION OF RELIGIOUS LAW
My Dear Precious Child,
     Paul clarified for the Roman converts to Christianity the real reason for the Law as given by Me to Moses.  Because of the entrance into the world of Jesus Christ and the new covenant of the Holy Spirit, it was necessary for the converts of the new covenant to understand why they must put away the old one of Mosaic Law because it was dead to them when My new covenant of the Holy Spirit came into reality.  If they did not become dead to the Law, then they would be back in bondage to the condemnation of the devil if they did not keep every jot and tittle of the old covenant of laws, as was required.
    Paul compared the relationship of the new covenant to the old covenant with a woman who is married to a man and she has legal obligations to her husband while he is living.  She is bound to him.  If she has sexual relations with another man, then she breaks her union with her husband and commits adultery.  But if the first husband dies, then she is free to marry again because her first husband is dead.  Paul said that My children of promise who are born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, because you, through the body of Christ, are dead to religious Mosaic Law, you can give yourself to your new husband, the one who rose from the dead to new life to make you My child.  I often referred to you as the bride of Christ.  Paul used that correlation so that you might understand the dangers of returning to the old covenant and its commandments as a means to salvation. 
    Before you were born of My Spirit your sinful nature was tempted by the demons who were sent from hell and you yielded willingly to them.  Their mission from the devil was to give birth to spiritual, emotional and mental death to you.  Because of Christ Jesus you are free from the Law, thus free from death, free to live in a new spiritual way instead of the old way of condemnation and death.  My personal words to you take the place of the written laws and I give you the power to reject the temptations of the devil. (Romans 7:1-6)
     Paul emphasized that the Law is neither sinful nor was it given by the devil.  Of course not.  It was given by Me to identify for the Jews the temptations and works of the devil.  Their belief was that I was both good and evil, instead of all good. There are many of My children who still entertain that lie in their minds because they don't know Me.  They only know Me through the false prophets who are blinded by the devil to the truth that I am Love.   So, without the Law, the Jews would not have known that sin was the result of yielding to the temptations of the demons so that they would be bound to do the works of the devil instead of being in unity with Me and doing My good works of love in the earth. Without the Law no one would know not to yield to the temptation to covet if they had not heard about it in the Law.  However, if you did yield to a demon and did covet, then the devil used the Law to condemn you.  Without the Law he would not have had a commandment with which to condemn you.  In other words, where there is no Law, there is no condemnation of sin for My children. (Romans 7:7-8)
     In the history of man before there was Mosaic Law, My children worshiped Me, but when the Law came into being the devil condemned people of sin and because of his condemnation and shame people died.  So the commandments that I gave to Moses were meant to bring life to My children by identifying the devil's temptations to sin so that My children could refuse to obey evil temptations, but the devil took advantage of the commandments under the Law to tempt My children; and thus they yielded to the temptations and sinned.  Through the commandments of the Law, death came to My children instead of life coming to them. (Romans 7:9-11)
     The Mosaic Law is sacred, given by Me, and what it commands is sacred, just and good.  But the devil uses those commandments to bring death to My children.  In fact, sin gets its power from the Law.  So you and My other children who are born of My Holy Spirit are free from the condemnation and shame that comes from the devil when you formerly sinned because of My new life that you have inside of you in the Holy Spirit.  (Romans 7:12-13)
     The battles that My children encounter are in endeavoring to refuse to obey the temptations to do the devil's works, which is called sinning.  Even though the Law which was given by Me is spiritual, your flesh was, and sometimes still is, a slave to sin.  Some of that slavery to sin still remains in the bodies and minds of My children until they determine to seek My righteousness and crucify the temptations that come from the devil in their flesh, casting the tempting demons into hell.  The flesh is your body and mind.  My covenant of the Holy Spirit is with your spirit.  The new creation inside of you that was created by My Holy Spirit has a duty to Me to also sanctify your flesh, which means to allow My Spirit to  cleanse your body and mind which is also the temple of My Holy Spirit.  (Matthew 13:36-43) 
    Paul said that his experience was that when he acted against his own will and My will to obey a temptation, then it was the devil using his flesh to spread death and destruction in the world.  He said that his true self, the new creation in Christ Jesus inside of him, is innocent but the devil working in his flesh is guilty.  He knew that there were times when his body did what the Law condemned because he was still a prisoner in some ways to the law of sin and death which lived inside his flesh.  They are generational curses caused by demons who were passed down from parents to children for generations. (Exodus 34:7)  Paul asked who will rescue him from his body which was doomed to death and destruction because it obeys sin.  Then He proclaimed the answer to who had the power to rescue him from death, His rescuer being Christ Jesus who died for his sins and was raised to life by My Holy Spirit.  He said that sometimes his real self, the new creation, serves Me and the real spiritual reason of My giving the Law, but also his flesh, being his unspiritual body and mind, still serves the law of sin and death.  Paul had a problem with the demon of pride, as was his own confession.  Because of his many revelations, he fought constantly the devil's temptation to exalt himself in importance above the other apostles. (II Corinthians 12:5-7)
    In his exhortation and explanation of the battle between the devil ministering to your flesh and My Holy Spirit speaking into your mind, Paul was hoping that his words would cause My children to treasure the gift of My new covenant of the Holy Spirit that I had given to you.  It is only by your treasuring My gift of My Holy Spirit who lives inside of you that will cause you to cease from trying to mix the old covenant of Mosaic Law with My new covenant of the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you.  It is my joy and pleasure to write My words in your heart and in your mind. (Jeremiah 31:33; II Corinthians 4:7)
    My children must determine to win all battles against the demons who tempt your body and mind, that being your flesh.  You must know spiritually that the more battles you win by casting the offending demons into hell, the more your life on earth enjoys the benefits of having My kingdom of heaven in your life.  Jesus Christ made it possible.  (Galatians 5:4)
    Clean out the temple of the Holy Spirit in the world, remembering that My temple in the earth is your body and the body of all believers in Christ Jesus.  You are responsible for cleaning My house in your own life by the power of My Holy Spirit in you.  Challenge other people to clean My house in themselves so that they will live a life of heaven on earth and I will be glorified in them.  (I Corinthians 3:16; II Chronicles 29:16-18)  It's called seeking My righteousness. (Matthew 6:33)

THE BENEFITS OF HOLINESS

My Dear Precious Child,
    In Paul's letter to the believers in Rome, he repeated many truths to them in order to make sure that they remembered his teachings.  He had called some believers in Corinth "babies", that they were still drinking spiritual milk.  If the Romans had not been mature enough spiritually to search the scriptures for themselves relating to their marvelous experiences of being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit in order to receive confirmation by the scriptures and My Spirit, then they would need an in depth review of the magnificent event in their lives in order to become established in My love and in My joy and peace.  They should have been walking in the glory of My love, joy and peace as they increased in the glory upon glory that comes from My Holy Spirit's personal revelations to them.  Many were not.
   Not only did Paul review the glories granted to My children because of their being new creations in Christ Jesus, but he also reviewed the works of the devil, called sins, to which some of the Roman believers had returned.  He asked them if it was necessary to remain sinning so that My wonderful work of grace would have greater importance.  His own answer to that question was "of course not" because they were supposed to be dead to sin, so how could they enjoy living in it?  He explained being "baptized in Christ Jesus" by saying that because Christ lived in them, they were with Him in His death.  That means you, too, because you were with Christ Jesus when He was sent into the tomb that you joined with Him in His death.  Also, when He was raised from the dead by the power of My Holy Spirit, you were also raised from the dead to a new life.  Therefore, you should be dead to the devil's temptations to do his will in your life but alive to Me and My personal words to you.  (Romans 6:1-4)
    The same truth applies to you that Paul was reiterating to the Romans.  Since you were united with Christ Jesus in his death and His visit to hell, you were also united with Him in His resurrection, leaving behind in hell all of the devil's works.  Your sinful body that so willingly formerly yielded to the devil's temptations to sin, that body should be dead to sin's temptations.  Paul told the Romans that they were crucified with Christ, however they were still alive; but they were alive to My words of life instead of being alive to the devil's temptations which bring death.  (Romans 6: 5-11)
    Therefore, you must consider yourself dead to the devil's temptations to sin by not letting the temptation to sin conquer your mind and lead you to yield to doing evil which will curse your life.  Bodily passions will curse your life on earth if you yield to them.  My Spirit said through Paul that If you yield to any temptation of the devil, you let a part of your body turn into a weapon fighting against you and on the side of the devil.  Instead,  consider yourself resurrected to live My life of goodness in the earth instead of your yielding to temptations of the devil and your body being resurrected to do the devil's will in the earth.  You must conquer the bodily passions and make every part of your body -- which is the temple of My Holy Spirit -- to become a weapon fighting on My side instead of on the side of evil.  No longer let sin dominate your body by letting the temptations of the devil lead you to sin.  No longer let sin dominate your life since you are living by My grace and not by the dictates of religious Law which the devil uses to tempt you. (Romans 6:12-14)
     So since you are now living by My grace, it does not mean that you are free to obey the dictates of the devil by yielding to his temptations.  You know that to whomever you agree to obey, you become bound to that deity as a servant.  Jesus told you that you cannot be a servant to the devil as well as being a child of Mine, raised to life with My Holy Spirit living inside of your body.  In the past you were a slave to the devil's temptations, obeying his every evil suggestion.  You have been freed from your unity with the demons from hell, and you have become alive to Me, made righteous by being born again and baptized in My Holy Spirit. (Romans 6:15-19)  Paul put that truth in simple language by saying that in the past you put your body in service to vice and immorality, so now you must put your body in service to Me by walking in righteousness and spreading My righteousness in your earth. 
    The rewards that you got from the devil when you allowed him to constantly use your body to spread his evil in the earth were experiences that made you ashamed and condemned, as was the devil's evil way.  He tempted you to do evil and then made you ashamed and condemned for doing the very things that he tempted you to do.  Now that you are alive to Me and deemed dead to sin, which is yielding to the devil's temptations, you have the power of My Holy Spirit to refuse the evil temptations and only yield to My words which admonish you to do kind and good deeds in the earth. 
     Paul gave to the Romans this truth:  The wages paid by the devil for doing his will is death; the gift given to you by Me is eternal life, the life that was in Christ Jesus that made Him My Son.  You have My new creation inside of you, a new person created by My Holy Spirit, and you have become My child with all of the power of My Holy Spirit.  He also gives you the power to refuse the temptations of bodily passions with which the devil tempts you. (Romans 6:20-23)
    Remember that Peter wrote that My children who taste the freedom purchased by Me and yet return to yielding to the devil's temptations are like the dog who returns to eat his own vomit.  The devil's rewards are death but My rewards are love, joy and peace, which are My righteousness in the Holy Spirit. (II Peter 2:20-22; Romans 14:17)

THE GIFT OF SALVATION

My Dear Precious Child,
   My grace is never more evident than in your salvation.  Because of faith, which is believing in Me and the Lord Jesus Christ, My children are designated as being righteous and at peace with Me.  Paul, in his letter to the Romans, in order to convince the believers that they had no need to unite the Mosaic Law into their unity with Me, he reminded them of the glory which they had already enjoyed in their being born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit. (II Corinthians 3:18)  He wanted to encourage them that they could look forward to more of My glory upon glory becoming reality in their lives.  He wrote that a glorious benefit of walking in the earth as My child is that that even in suffering against temptations, patience is produced in you. (Romans 5:3)  Patience produces perseverance.  Perseverance brings hope.  Hope is not deceptive because My love has been poured into your heart by My Holy Spirit which is My gift to you, just like He was with My children in the first church in Rome. 
   My grace is also evident in the fact that it was when you were deep in sins that Christ died for you.  Paul's letter to the Romans is My letter to you, also.  My message to you is, Pay attention to this:  CHRIST DIED FOR YOU AND WENT TO HELL FOR YOU.
   It is not easy to die for even a good man, but what proves My love for you is that Christ died for you when you were steeped in sins.  He died to make you My righteousness; and so, of course, his death would also save you from the anger that I have for the devil.  My anger is for the devil because of his tormenting of My children by his works of death and destruction.  When the act of Christ dying for the sins of the world took place, you were reconciled to Me then, but when you were born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit you became saved from the works of the devil by the resurrected life of My Son Jesus Christ.  It is in your being filled with My Holy Spirit that completes your reconciliation with Me because you become My Own Child with My eternal life inside of you.  (Romans 5:1-11)
    Paul reminded the Romans again of what he had taught them in the past, that sin from the devil came into the world at the permission of one man, Adam, and so death has spread through the whole human race because everyone yields to the devil's temptations to do his evil works.  So sin was in the world long before Mosaic Law was given.  Since there were no laws to determine someone was sinning, no one could be accused of sinning.  However, death still reigned over Adam and his descendants from Adam to Moses, even though the sins of people were not a matter of breaking a law.  It was through one man's fall from his place of being loved by Me and having authority in the earth through his being in unity with Me, and so many died.   And, it is thrilling that through one man, Jesus Christ, My divine grace came into the lives of so many people as a free gift, never deserved, never earned, never merited, but as a free gift from Me.
    Through Adam came condemnation for all mankind but through Jesus Christ came acquittal, a verdict of not guilty.  Where one minute My children were deemed guilty, after being born of My Holy Spirit My Children are deemed not guilty, but instead righteous because of becoming new creations.  (Romans 5:12-18)  That gift of My salvation cannot be earned by anyone.  It is a free gift from Me to My children.  (Romans 5:19-21)  Where sin abounds, My grace does much more abound.
    Paul's thinking was that it is good for My children to be reminded over and over about My grace, which is My favor for My children of promise who do nothing to warrant My forgiveness, My grace and My love toward them.  Salvation is a gift which cannot be deserved, bought, merited or earned.  It is a gift from My mercy and love to My children whom I created to become My images in the earth. 
    The first man Adam did not take My advice to refuse to allow the devil to trick him into allowing the devil and his demons access to the world which I created for My children to be a reflection of My heaven.  Adam allowed evil to flood into his world and pollute it with death and destruction.  Yet, Jesus Christ even died for Adam who sinned when he allowed the demons to flood the earth.  My gift of grace is sufficient to even forgive Adam and Eve, which means man and woman.
    The people in the Roman church needed to be reminded of the real salvation which is in Christ Jesus and My Holy Spirit so that they would abandon their retreat back into Mosaic Law which depends upon complete obedient to the Law in order to obtain salvation from the works of the devil.  There is no power, other than My Holy Spirit, that makes My children able to follow My every word of admonition, every word of guidance, every word of correction, and every word of wisdom and knowledge relating to your becoming blessed in every area of life.   Only the words of My Holy Spirit can keep you from evil and keep you in the stream of My river of life where My blessings flow.  And it is free, free of working for it, free of earning it, free of any demanded obedience to it.  It is called grace, that being My divine favor toward you as My gift of love and complete forgiveness. 
    The only person who ever earned salvation is Jesus Christ by His being crucified, going to hell, being resurrected from the dead and coming to live inside of you in the person of the Holy Spirit who raised Him from the dead and made Him alive again, even His body which had died.  When He lives in you in the person of the Holy Spirit, He is My free gift to you of being saved from the evil works of the devil.  Salvation is a gift that cannot be earned, deserved or merited.  It is free for you; but My salvation cost Jesus His life on earth so that you would have favor with Me and have the power to defeat evil in the earth instead of yielding to it. 
     I never take back My gifts.  However, very often, as in Paul's letter to the different churches, My children give My gift of salvation back to Me by going back to either idol worship or embracing Mosaic Law as a means to salvation.  In doing so, if they continue in the blasphemy they separate themselves completely from My grace through salvation.
    My children of promise must move forward into more and more glory by seeking My kingdom and My righteousness instead of retreating backward into ineffective religious rules, regulations or idol worship.  Just like the real value of the Law was to reveal the devil's tactics, but was ignored by My children, I included the letters from the apostles in My Instruction Book to identify how the devil sabotaged My children in the first churches by tempting them into leaving the glory of My salvation and returning to ineffective religious practices.  You must be a watchman or you will be deceived and do the same thing.  You must always depend upon the discernment of My Holy Spirit to identify evil temptations and send them to hell.  Discernment is a gift of the Holy Spirit which gives you the power to exorcize the demons from the earth, sending them to hell. (Matthew 13:36-43) It is the greater works of which your Savior Christ Jesus spoke.  (John 14:12)      
    Your Father of Gifted Salvation 

SALVATION BY FAITH

My Dear Precious Child,
    In the apostle Paul's letter to the Christians in Rome, his main theme of the letter is faith in Jesus Christ and faith in His being raised from hell after being crucified and serving the punishment required by religious Law for breaking the requirements of the Law.  The punishment from the devil was His being sent to hell, but My plan was for Jesus Christ to go to hell for the sins of the whole world so that every man is just, clean and not guilty before Christ and Me because the requirement of the Law of being sent to hell has already happened with Christ Jesus.  He never sinned but went to hell voluntarily for the sins of all humanity.  My justice for the whole world was met in Him. 
    Because of the method of His cleansing of My children by their accepting the sacrifice of Christ Jesus into their lives, then they are clean, white as snow, all thanks to Christ Jesus who served their punishment.  After My children have been cleaned up, then My Holy Spirit can come to live in their bodies because they are clean enough so that they can become My temple of the Holy Spirit in the earth.  Without the sacrifice of Jesus and the acceptance of His sacrifice as payment for your sins, there could be no indwelling of My Holy Spirit because there would not have been complete cleansing of any bodies in the earth because I cannot live in darkness.  (Romans 3:21-26)  My children must be born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit in order for My kingdom of heaven to become resident in their lives in the earth.  They become My much loved children in the earth, as it was between Adam and Me before he allowed the devil entrance into the earth to curse all of the earth, all people and the earth itself.
    Centuries before My new covenant of the Holy Spirit began to be reality in the world and Christ Jesus paid for the sins of the whole world, Abraham believed what I said to him and so it was enough to label him as righteous.  The only thing he did was to believe My promise to him.  Abraham did not obey any religious Law in order to receive My promise to him because the Law had not been given.  All he had to do was believe My promise to him would become reality. That is what faith is, believing My promise to you that I will come and live in you and I will be your Father and you will be My child.  Abraham became the ancestor of all uncircumcised believers because they are all made righteous by believing My promise to them, not by obeying Laws.  When people put their faith in Me, just as Abraham did, then those people have believed that I bring the dead to life and I call into being what does not even exist in the natural world.  (Romans 4:13-17)
    My promise to Abraham that he would inherit the world was not made because of anyone obeying any laws, but it was because of righteousness which consists of faith, which is believing Me. (Romans 4:13)  If inheriting the world can only be done by people who obey religious Law, then faith is pointless and My words are powerless and worthless.  Laws involve punishment for breaking laws, but where there are no laws then there is no sin held against anyone; so there is no punishment.  (Romans 4:14)
    Though all odds were against him, Abraham continued to believe Me, believing that he would have many descendants even though he was 100 and his wife was older than 100.  Once I promised it, Abraham refused to doubt it.  He drew faith from Me and was convinced that what I promised I had the power to bring into reality.  That is why it is said that Abraham's faith justified him.  My promise to My children does not refer only to Abraham.  If you believe that I raised Jesus from the dead, then your faith is justified, too.   In other words, your faith guarantees your inheriting My power over all evil; and, as a result, you also inherit the earth.  I promised that My meek children will inherit the earth and be blessed. 
   No one could ever obey all of the Mosaic Law.  Jesus Christ, Himself, did not obey all of them.  In fact, He broke many of them.  Because of his breaking the religious Law in order to heal people, meet their needs and perform miracles, he was hated by the Jews who incorporated the religious leaders into their plan to report him to the Roman rulers so that He would be crucified for breaking the Law.  In reality He was sent to hell by Me in order to serve the punishment for the sins of the whole world.  I didn't leave him there long.  He had the assignment from Me to retrieve from the devil the authority to the earth that Adam had given to him.  After My Holy Spirit catapulted Him out of hell back into the earth, Christ Jesus professed that all authority in heaven and earth had been given to Him. (Matthew 28:18)  Since He has already sat down with Me in My heaven, He sent that authority to earth in the person of the Holy Spirit to live in My children of promise.  Authority to the earth was taken away from the devil by Jesus Christ when he was in hell.  Then He rose from the dead and sent My Godly authority to live in My children, all authority over the evil in the earth.     
   The name for that is SALVATION from the works of the devil. 
   I said that the reason Jesus Christ came to earth was to destroy the works of the devil.  (I John 3:8)  Now My children have the power of My Holy Spirit to destroy the works of the devil also.
   Don't waste My power in you.   Use it for your good and the good of mankind.
   Your Mighty Father of Power 

CORRECTIONS FOR THE ROMAN

My Dear Precious Child,
    The born again, baptized in the Holy Spirit people in the church in Rome were not immune to Paul's corrections because they had also allowed false prophets, or false apostles as he called them, to invade the church with all of their heresies and lies.  The Jewish converts willingly returned to putting their trust in ineffective  rules and regulations of the Law.  The pagan converts in Rome had begun incorporating human knowledge into their born of the Spirit conversions and limited human knowledge watered down the real Gospel of Jesus Christ.  The danger of that watered-down gospel was that the miracles performed by the Holy Spirit were explained away with human logic, which denied My supernatural power.  
   In the beginning of Paul's letter to the Romans he chastised both the pagan converts and the Jewish converts, telling them that My anger was reserved for  the devil for his mission to lead My children astray, and that My anger would be inherited by the Christian converts if they returned to either worshiping idols or binding themselves again to the religious Law of the Jews.  My anger would not be directly at My children, but it would fall upon the people who were bound to the devil and his works in the earth.  If the devil became their lord by their doing the will of the devil, then My judgment upon the converts would be a fulfillment of the scripture that says to whatever you are bound on earth you are also bound in the heavens. (Matthew16:19) If a person is bound to the devil by devotion to his evil works, then that person inherits My judgment that I placed on the devil.  If a person is bound to Me by devotion to My good works, then that person is bound to My goodness, My kindness, My love and My blessings in My heaven.
     His spiritual logic was convincing because of Paul's knowledge from My Holy Spirit of the spiritual dimension around them which gave him insight and understanding.  After using logic relating to the lack of spiritual insight among the Jews, Paul told the converts that, because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, all of their sins were forgiven; but then some people in their midst were teaching that they might as well go ahead and sin, since they were already forgiven by Me.  They decided that since Jesus was soon coming back to earth, they might as well enjoy the fleshly enjoyment of sin. (Romans 3:7-8)  The converts had forgotten that binding themselves to the works of the devil would bring curses into their lives.  They forgot that the wages of sin is death and just because they were forgiven by Me did not mean that there were not destructive consequences to their yielding to the temptations of the devil and thus sinning. (Romans 6:23) 
    Curses of destruction and death are the result of doing the will of the devil.  The consequences often do not show up immediately or you and My other children would be able to readily connect your sins or transgressions with a destructive event in their lives.  The devil arranges the consequences to occur much later so as not to be connected to your yielding to the lusts of the flesh, the deceitfulness of riches, your fretting and worrying, your following false prophets, your binding yourself to the teachings of the hypocritical Pharisees or your other particular transgressions or sins of cooperating with evil.
    Paul reminded the Romans that the Mosaic laws at the time they were given by me were not given to become the power to save all of My children from the consequences of their sins.  The Law had no power to do that.  They were given by Me to identify the devil's temptations so that My children would refuse to participate with the devil in his sins.  How could they resist him if they didn't recognize him by his works?  (Romans 3:19-20)  My judgment on the devil was made obvious through the Law when I identified his works as being evil.  My prophesies relating to salvation are obvious outside of the Mosaic Law since it is belief in the Lord Jesus Christ that creates the faith that is the power over the works of the devil in the lives of My children.  Faith in Him allows you to be reconciled to Me so that you will have My power of the Holy Spirit over the works of the devil for both the Jews and the pagans.  I justify and make My children powerful over evil works by the indwelling of My Holy Spirit to everyone who believes in Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:27-31)
   So now under the covenant of the Spirit, it is My words of power that justify people as being My children with authority over evil, which has nothing to do with religious Law.  I am the God of the Jew and the Greek, the religious people and the pagans, when they individually are reconciled to Me and bind themselves to Me through the Holy Spirit creating a new creature in them.  When My children hear My voice, all of My words have value by continuing to identify sins for what they are, the works of the devil which need to be identified as the works of evil to My children and the demons need to be exorcised and sent to hell by the authoritative power of My Holy Spirit.  The entire ministry of Christ Jesus and My Holy Spirit were prophesied in the Law but were hidden from people because of the veil of unbelief that is over their minds until it is removed by Christ Jesus when My children are born of My Holy Spirit.  When the veil is removed, then My children can see the value in the religious Law was neither to condemn My children, as the Pharisees used it, nor was it to tempt My children to do evil works, as used by the devil.  The Law, as given by Me, was to identify the works of the devil and to prophesy My workable plan for salvation for My children and their world by the sacrifice of Christ for the forgiveness of their sins so that they would receive the authoritative power of My Holy Spirit to cast the demons out of their lives and their world, casting them into hell.  (Romans 3:27-31; Matthew 13:36-43)
    My children need to act like My children, My own sons and daughters, and you need to step up to your responsibilities to cast out of the earth and into hell the demonic spirits who cause all offenses in the earth.  I said that when you do cast out all of the earth all causes of offense you will shine like the sun in My kingdom of heaven in the earth.

CORRECTION FOR THE ROMANS

My Dear Precious Child,
    Paul always referred to the life, the ministry, the death and the resurrection of Christ Jesus as the only Good News.  It is Good News because the lives of My children who live in the world are filled with suffering and pain because of the evil that is in the world.  Yet, there were prophesies through the prophets that there would be a better event coming when I came to earth to live inside of My children, giving them the power of My Holy Spirit to bring goodness into their lives with the promise that death would be overcome and they would live with Me eternally.  Yes, that is Good News instead of the prevailing thought that life in the earth is only sin and death.
    As he always wrote, Paul told them that he never failed to mention the believers in his prayers where he ministered.  He encouraged all of the churches that he would be coming to bring the real Good News to them again.  His confession was that he was never ashamed of the Gospel of Christ because it is My power unto salvation, to the Jews first but also to the Greek pagans.  He wrote that faith always should lead to more faith because an upright man finds a consistent good life through faith.
    Paul was angry at the depravity and lack of piety of people and so he felt My anger that is aimed at the devil and his demons, whom I threw out of My heaven for their rebellion, was shared by the people who do the devil's will.  The demons' endeavors to seek vengeance on My children in order to cause grief in Me is what caused Paul to point the finger of judgment at the cause behind sin, which is the devil.  He was also perplexed at people, that they did not see My works of goodness in the world in nature.  He said that humans have no excuse for not seeing Me in the good things in the earth.  He did not understand how people could make idols out of other men, birds, reptiles and four legged animals instead of worshiping Me as the only True God as revealed in nature.  (Romans 1:18-27) 
    After Paul's magnificent conversion in his meeting with the resurrected Christ Jesus on the road to Damascus, he began to see spiritual things clearly and laid aside his unbelief and his persecution and killing of believers in Christ Jesus.  So he was including himself in his being perplexed about people not recognizing My majesty in nature.  He wrote that because people did not recognize My marvelous works in creating the earth, they yielded to the devil and began to be depraved, rotten, filled with greed and malice, addicted to envy, murder, wrangling, treachery and spite.  He included libel, slander, rudeness, arrogance, boasting, sin and rebellion to parents as the results of the devil's works in people, identifying them as sin, saying that people were void of honor, love and pity.  Paul said that humans who do such things are subject to My judgment which has already been My judgment placed on the devil.  People who are bound to the devil by doing his will  receive My judgment because of their unity with the devil instead of their being in unity with Me.  It is judgment by association.  (Romans 1:28-32)
   But Paul made it clear to the Romans that if they judged other people that they condemn themselves also because they do the same things for which they judge other people. He told the Romans not to abuse My abundant goodness, patience and toleration, making sure that the people to whom he wrote the letter knew that it is My goodness that brings a person to repentance.  He knew that they would inherit the My judgment for the devil if they continued to do the devil's will; because when they did his will, they worshiped him.  He reminded the Romans that pain and suffering will come upon everyone who does evil, the Jew and the pagan Greeks.  He also reminded them that honor and peace comes upon everyone who does good, Jews and Greeks as well, because I have no favorites.
   In Paul's reference to the religious laws of Moses, he told them that it is not in just listening to the reading of the Law which made Jews holy, but it was keeping the Law which made them holy because the Law was given to identify the devil and his demons as the instigators of evil.   He told the Romans that there are people who never heard of the religious Law but still they have an instinct for doing good works which comes from keeping the Law, and so they do what is good.  They can claim that the Law is written on their hearts or they have a conscience that spurs them to only do good things.
   Then he contrasted the Jews who trust in the religious Law as being a way to salvation, pretending that they are a guide for the blind, a beacon to the people in darkness, claiming to teach the ignorant and instruct the people in darkness. Paul asked them why don't they teach themselves because they preach against stealing but they steal, they forbid adultery yet they commit adultery, they despise idols yet they rob their own temples.  He said that by boasting about their Law and then disobeying it, they are bringing My name into contempt to other people.  It was already written in scripture that it was their fault that My name is blasphemed among pagans. 
   Paul launched into the real reason for his letter to them which was about circumcision.  He told them that it's okay to be circumcised if they obey the Law; but if they break the Law they might as well have stayed uncircumcised.  He was referring to hypocrisy.  Jesus Christ said that no person can obey all of the Law.  He said that a man who is not circumcised yet he keeps the religious Law, even though he has not been circumcised he is a living condemnation of the way the others disobey the Law in spite of being circumcised.  (Romans 2:25-27)  Paul said that circumcision according to the Law is merely a physical operation.   He told the Jews in Rome that real circumcision is of the heart when a person turns away from religious Laws and embraces Christ Jesus who removes the demonic veil over their minds that separates them from Me. 
   Circumcision is not physical but is spiritual.  (Romans 2:29) A Jew who is uncircumcised physically but who has been born of My Holy Spirit will be praised by Me because the demonic veil that separated us has been removed from his mind by Christ Jesus and He will be able to have true communion with Me, a one-on-one relationship as Father and child, eager to hear My personal instructions of guidance to him or her. 
    In Paul explaining that truth, he was countering against the apostles who had convinced some born again pagans that they needed to be circumcised according to old covenant Law in addition to being born of My Holy Spirit.  There was no need, because physical circumcision was merely a religious ceremony prophesying the circumcision of the mind when the veil of the devil is removed from the mind of a person by Christ Jesus when a person is born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  As Paul said in a letter to another church, if a person goes back to religious Law after he or she is born of My Holy Spirit, he or she is returning to his own vomit.  When a person becomes born again in Christ Jesus and baptized in My Holy Spirit, he regurgitates the rules and regulations that promised to make him or her holy because keeping all of the rules and regulations of the Law is impossible.  In returning to the old Law after tasting My freedom from the curses of the Law, those people are making the sacrifice of Jesus Christ of no effect in his or her life, a useless event instead of it being the greatest event in the history of the world because My Son died for the sins of the whole world so that I could come to live in humans in the person of My Holy Spirit.  (Acts 1:1-10; Acts 2:1-4 and 16-36)
   Paul was trying to entice the people who had been deceived by false prophets to return to the real Good News that had made them joyful, peaceful and filled with love when they were born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  
His admonitions rescued some people but others continued to try to mix light and darkness and darkness won in their lives.  My Holy Spirit through Paul was trying to rescue the perishing, but some people refused to be rescued.
   There are many people in your world who are trying to mix light and darkness.  Light has the power to win over darkness, but very often My children choose darkness because darkness is familiar to them.  The darkness of sin produced garbage in their lives but it is familiar garbage to them.  The valuable gold that I offer is unfamiliar to them so they go back to the familiar garbage in the pigpen of life.
    The devil only has death and destruction for his children.  For My children who choose My light over darkness, I said that I am able to do in their lives super abundantly more, far over and above all that they dare ask or think or imagine, infinitely more than their highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams, according to the power of My Holy Spirit in their lives.  (Ephesians 3:20) That is what I do for My children.

DECEPTION REVEALED BY PAUL

My Dear Precious Child,
   Paul asked the Corinthians in his second letter to them to allow him to be a little foolish in his correlations about Christ being the groom and the believers being the virgin brides of Christ.  He said just like the serpent, the devil, seduced Eve at the very beginning of the world, that evil serpent also corrupted the ideals of the believers in Corinth and turned them away from complete devotion to Christ.  He again chastised them for welcoming with open arms a newcomer who came into their midst preaching a different Jesus, offering a new spirit different from the one they had received of the Holy Spirit, teaching a new gospel different than the real Gospel and they fell right into the arms of the deceiver.  He said that those arch-apostles had nothing more than Paul had; and, in fact, they neither offered salvation through the real Jesus Christ nor did they offer a power that even compared to the power of My Holy Spirit. (II Corinthians 11:1-6).
    Counterfeit apostles is what he labeled the men who had led the Corinthian believers astray by leading them away from Christ and into old covenant rules and regulations as a way to salvation.  He said they were dishonest workmen disguised as apostles of Christ.  He said it should have been apparent to the Corinthians because they knew that the devil disguises himself as an angel of light so it is no surprise that the devil's human servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.  Paul declared that those deceivers will come to the end that they deserve.   Paul knew that the false prophets/apostles were sent by the politicians -- those being the Pharisees, Sadducees and scribes -- and the religious leaders -- those being the priests, high priests and elders of the temple -- to woo the believers in Jesus Christ into obedience to Mosaic Law in order to stop the Good News of Jesus Christ from being spread.   He knew that the new wine of My Holy Spirit poured into old wine skins will not produce My salvation and My power in the earth.  
    In order to distance himself from the false prophets, Paul named the distresses he had endured, his being in prison five times, whipped more times almost to death, he received 39 lashes five times from the Jews, beaten with sticks three times, stoned once, shipwrecked three times, lost in an open sea for a day and night, constantly traveling, escaped danger from his own people as well as pagans, experienced danger at sea and from his so called brothers.  He had been hungry, thirsty, uncloaked in the cold, starved and escaped from a king.   After he wrote about his distresses, then he stopped boasting about his perils.  (II Corinthians 11:24-28)
   In that second letter he told them about his visions and revelations, saying that he knew a man who went to the third heaven, whether in the body or out of the body, he didn't know.  He said that he went to paradise where he saw and heard things which cannot be spoken in human languages.  Paul was talking about himself, but he refused to boast that it happened to him or someone might think he was better than other humans.  Because of the revelations that he had, Paul said that the devil had given him a thorn in his flesh, a demon from hell, to keep him from being proud of himself when he had done nothing, because the visions and revelations were gifts from Me.  He wrote to them that he had asked Me three times to remove the demon from him, but My reply was that My grace was enough for him, that My power is best in his weakness.  Paul told them that when he was weak, then I can become strong in him.  (II Corinthians 12:1-10)
    His plans were to visit the Corinthians a third time.  He wrote in his letter that he was afraid that he would find wrangling, jealousy, tempers roused, backbiting, gossip, obstinate people, disorder, and that he would be grieved over all those who had sinned before and still had not repented of the impurities, the fornication and the debauchery that they had committed.  He was afraid that the deceived sinners had not turned from their wicked ways and returned to Jesus Christ.  (II Corinthians 12:20-21)  He said if that was what he found, then he would have no mercy in his further criticism of them. (II Corinthians 13:2)  It was a matter of life or death. 
    He wrote to them that they needed to examine themselves to make sure that they were still in the Christian faith.  He said for them to test themselves to see if Jesus Christ was really inside of them. (II Corinthians 13:5-6)  Paul prayed while he was gone that they had done nothing wrong and were innocent of the accusations he had heard.  His prayers were that they were made perfect, having grown up in Christ into a perfect person, so mature in wisdom and knowledge that they were eating adult spiritual food instead of still being babies on breast milk.
    Paul wrote that he was writing again to them with stern words so that when he came to be with them that he would not have to be so strict because his anointing from Me was for building them up, not tearing them down and destroying them. (II Corinthians 13:10)
   Paul was grieved at the level of spiritual  infancy of the Corinthians as evidenced by their bitterness and arguing.  He had written to the Ephesians not to grieve My Holy Spirit by becoming bitter, arguing among themselves, holding grudges, losing their tempers and seeking vengeance against each other.  He told the Ephesians to repent and be kind to each other, to forgive each other as Christ forgave them.  Paul was praying that they had returned to the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ instead of continuing in the heresies of the false prophets/apostles.
   The same demonic spirit had invaded the church at Corinth that had invaded the Ephesian church, causing My children to leave the spiritual luxuries of My kingdom of heaven that they had inherited in their lives when they were born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  They had fallen for the words of the false prophets that tickled their ears, the same ones that Jesus Christ warned them about.  (Matthew 7:15; Matthew 24:11; Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:26) Instead of continuing to seek My righteousness after they inherited My kingdom of heaven, they believed lies about some earthly kingdom that sounded easier than seeking the narrow path that leads to their having the abundant life while in the earth. (Matthew 6:33) Some of them had departed from the faith and had returned to bondage to the old covenant rules and regulations which caused strife among them. 
    Paul was justified in his grief.  His grief reflected the grief of My Holy Spirit that some of My children had so quickly left the gospel of faith in Jesus Christ.  Their story is included in My Instruction Book so that My children will be alerted to the works of the devil and learn to discern the spirits who speak to them.  I said that the path is narrow that leads to the abundant life and few find it because of false prophets sent from the devil to bring My children back into bondage to him.  (Matthew 7:13-15)
    My desire for My children is that they will listen to the voice of My Holy Spirit.  He is My voice in your mind.  If you hear His words and heed them, you will not be deceived like the Corinthians, some of which went right back into bondage to the devil again by either trying to mix the old and new covenant or they returned to worshiping idols.
    I want you free, completely liberated from the devil's works in your life on earth. You have a perfect Guide, a perfect Protector, a perfect Tutor, a perfect Advocate, a perfect Savior.  Jesus Christ came to earth to destroy the works of the devil. (I John 3:7-8) He sent My Holy Spirit into My children to take His place in My ministry of salvation.  Listen to Him.

FIRM CORRECTION BRINGS RESULTS

My Dear Precious One,
  In Paul's second letter to the Christians in Corinth, he truly had conflicting emotions.  His first letter contained many, many stern chastisements relating to the believers in the church there because of their believing false prophets and some people even returned to worshiping idols.  His complaints were the most complaints that he had for any of the churches that he established.  
   However, in his second letter Paul was almost apologetic to them for being so stern in the first letter.  He explained that he had been treated so badly in his missionary trip to Asia in which he barely escaped with his life so his disgust for the people in the Corinthian church for their leaving the truth of the Good News of the Gospel and returning to their old lives of pagan and religious rituals was more disappointing than he could take.  He stressed, though, in the second letter that his sternness in the first letter was justified in order to impress upon them the importance of repenting and returning to their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ which had enriched their lives so much, making them victorious over evil.  He was grieved that some of them had left the Truth and settled for lies.
    In defense of himself, Paul told the believers in Corinth to please keep a place in their hearts for Timothy and him.  He wrote that they had not injured anyone in the first letter or ruined anyone or exploited anyone.  He was pleased that they did not blame anyone for the stern rebuke because they were still firmly planted in his heart.  He told them, "Together we live and together we die."  He expressed his pride in them because they had corrected some of the problems so his joy was overflowing.  He wrote that even if they were distressed by the rebukes in the first letter, he did not regret his sternness because their suffering led to their repentance.  (II Corinthians 7:8-9)  He said that their suffering was the kind that I approve, which meant that they changed for the better because of his complaints and he wrote to them no more complaints in his second letter.  Then he told them that to suffer as the world knows suffering brings death.  Even though his writing to them was stern, they were still eager to see him after justice was done by them in correcting some of their mistakes.  (II Corinthians 7:11-12) 
    Even though Paul worked to promote his ministry, to all of the churches that he established in Europe he appealed to them to be generous in their giving to others.  He reminded them that Jesus had been so very rich in heaven yet he came to earth and became poor for their sake, to make them rich out of His own poverty.  (II Corinthians 8:9-15)  He told them not to make things difficult for themselves in their giving but, instead, to give out of their surplus in order to meet the needs of other churches.  He encouraged them to be cheerful givers, writing that when they supplied generously the needs of the saints that it resulted in more thanksgivings to Me for meeting the needs of the poor and those people in the ministry. (I Corinthians 9:13-14)
    Paul appealed to them by the gentleness and patience of Christ relating to other things.  He identified himself as the man who was so humble when he was with them, but he became a bully when he was distanced from them.  He said that he did not want to have to bully them again when he came face to face with them if he observed them eating food sacrificed to idols and if he observed them celebrating feasts in order to receive My favor when they had already become the new creatures that the feasts prophesied My children becoming new creatures in Christ.  He said that they, even though they lived in the flesh, the muscles that they fought with were not flesh.  He reminded them that their weapons of warfare are mighty and strong, through the power of My Holy Spirit in them, in order to demolish human fortresses that come against them in the form of temptations.  He named their enemies as human wisdom which is arrogant and resists My spiritual knowledge.  He said that part of the warfare of My children is that they must capture every negative thought and cast it out, bringing every thought into obedience to Christ when they are empowered to punish every disobedient thought.
    Tempting, evil thoughts are the strongholds of the devil.  Once you have established your obedience to Me, you are powerfully prepared by the power of My Holy Spirit to punish any disobedient thought that exalts itself against My wisdom and knowledge.  (II Corinthians 10:1-6)
   In his humility, Paul said that he was not boasting, but instead he was humbled by his own writings.   He knew that they came from Me, knowing that his discerning of the works of evil for the people in the Corinthian church in the first letter did the work in them of causing repentance to take place. 
    Paul wrote that if anyone wants to boast, that he or she should only boast in the things that I have done for him or her.  (II Corinthians 10:17-18)  All good and perfect gifts come from Me. (James 1:17)

PURITY OF THE GOSPEL

My Dear Precious Child,
    You have My very nature inside of you in the person of My Holy Spirit.   He is the Spirit of Truth, the instigator of the new covenant of the Holy Spirit and the revealer of My wisdom and knowledge.  Yet, because of Paul's difficulties in his mission trips to Asia, he was ready to shed his human body and take on his new body, his celestial body.  He longed to be with Jesus Christ in My heaven with Me in reality instead of merely by faith. so he wrote in his second letter to the Corinthians that he was ready to be out of his human body and in heaven with Me.(II Corinthians 5:1-10)
    Paul wrote in his second letter that the love of Christ overwhelmed him and Timothy when they reflected on the truth that Christ died for everyone and so every person would be dead if Jesus Christ had not been obedient to Me.   He stated that the reason Christ died for all people is so that all people would live for Him, no longer living by the dictates of their flesh where the devil works.  Because Christ died and was raised to life for you, you must refuse to return to live the old life again because everyone who is in Christ is a new creation, old things are gone and all things become new.  (II Corinthians 5:14-17) Returning to the old religious laws as taught by false prophets is like a dog returning to eat his own vomit. (II Peter 2:19-22)   Therefore, because you are not judged according to the flesh by Me, you must not judge other people by the standards of the flesh if they are ruled by their demonic temptations.
   My work in you, because I reconciled you to Myself in Christ, I also gave to you the responsibility of reconciling the world to Me.  Because I, in Christ, reconciled the world to Myself, not holding any of the sins of men against them, I have given to you the responsibility of telling the news to people that they are reconciled to Me.  The Good News is that all people are reconciled to Me and that they should choose to enjoy and grow in that reconciliation.   I made Jesus Christ, who knew no sin, to become sin so that you could become My goodness through the power of My Holy Spirit.  (II Corinthians 5:18-21) Jesus Christ paid for the sins of the whole world and so they are reconciled to Me.  Many people choose to be born of My Spirit by accepting My Holy Spirit into their lives to create a new person;  many people do not. 
   Paul's experiences showed that you prove that are My children by your purity, your spiritual knowledge, your patience, your kindness, your spirit of holiness, by your unaffected love, by your words of truth, by the power of the Holy Spirit and by being armed with My righteousness.  (II Corinthians 6:6-7)  In other words, the fruit of the Holy Spirit displayed through you is the identification to the world and to the heavens that you are My child.(Galatians 5:22-23)
   He cautioned the church in Corinth again in his second letter about the false prophets who come to lead them away from the true gospel.  He told them not to become bound together as a team with unbelievers or even with those people who veer away from the truth.  He said that virtue is no companion with crime and he said that light and darkness have nothing in common.  As a warning against the people who had returned to idolatry, Paul said that you, being My temple of the Holy Spirit in the earth, have no common ground with idols; and that is what you are, My temple of the Holy Spirit in the earth.  He quoted the prophesy of Isaiah saying that I would make My home within you so that I would be your God and you would be My people.  Through Isaiah I said that you should come away from wickedness and that you should touch nothing that is unclean, and I will welcome you into My family and be your Father and you will be My sons and daughters. (Isaiah 52:11; Isaiah 43:6; II Corinthians 6:14-18)  Jesus Christ died so that you could be cleansed of all the works of the devil and be reconciled to Me.  That is Good News.(I John 3:8)
    Paul was enamored with the truth of the promise that I would be your Father and you would be My child and so he challenged the people in the Corinthian church, and you, that all of you should wash off all the demonic activity that soils either your body or your spirit; and you should strive to reach the perfection of holiness in the awe of My promise of receiving all of My inheritance that I set aside for you and all of My children. (II Corinthians 7:1)
    The apostle Paul was adamant about the people in the church at Corinth getting rid of all of the leaven of the false prophets and the idol worship to which some of the Corinthians had returned because that leaven of wickedness can poison the whole church.  Even in your day, you must be attentive to the voice of My Holy Spirit and His words of discerning of spirits, refusing to join light with darkness.
    When you hear My voice spoken through the Holy Spirit in your thoughts, don't harden your hearts to My warnings like the people who wandered 40 years in the wilderness and still perished because they did not take My advice to stop complaining and to stop building idols to worship when they had Me, their God of Goodness who freed them from bondage to the pagans in Egypt. (Hebrews 3:8) They even desired to go back into cruel bondage in Egypt.  Many of My children who listen to false prophets do the same thing, they choose to go back to religious rules and regulations that brought death to their ancestors and to them.  They even make idols of political and religious people whose desires are for their own political and religious attainment instead of their being self sacrificing like My Son Jesus Christ. (Mark 8:15 and 38)
    Listen to the voice of My Holy Spirit.  He is your protector, your counselor and your guide in the earth because He only speaks to you what I tell Him to speak.  Jesus Christ sent My inheritance of My Holy Spirit to you.  Treasure Him and His words. (II Corinthians 4:7)
