My Dear Precious Child,
Paul felt that women must not dress in order to call attention to themselves, much like the religious children of the descendants of Hagan required, and still require, women to hide their hair, their skin and their physical attributes. Paul was not as stringent, but he advised Timothy to tell the women in the church to dress modestly, without braided hair, gold, jewelry or expensive clothes. Instead of adornment, he wrote that women must show their religious preferences to be good works that are proper for women.
As was popular in Jewish religious groups, he held onto the religious law that women should not teach men, nor should women tell men what to do. His thinking was that Adam was created first and Eve later, so therefore women should not speak in an assembly but should be quiet and respectful. He wrote that Adam did not lead Eve astray, but it was Eve who led Adam astray and fell into sin. He wrote that, however, women shall be saved by childbearing, provided she leads a modest life and is constant in faith, love and holiness, (I Timothy 3:8-15) That Jewish tradition followed Paul into the body of Christ, in which many traditions hung onto him as being practical. He forgot that it was Mary Magdala and another Mary to whom Jesus first appeared after his resurrection, suggesting that in Christ there are no males or females, which Paul had previously proclaimed to the Galatians that in Christ there are no male or females, no Greek or Jew, that you are all one in Christ Jesus. Paul wrote earlier in the letter to Timothy that Eve was deceived but Adam disobeyed My commandment that I gave personally gave to him before I created Eve by taking the female part of Adam out of him and created Eve. (I Timothy 2:14; Genesis 2:5-23)
One of the curses of the devil that was prevalent even in religious beliefs at the time, and still is, that men would rule over women and that she would desire a husband to rule over her. (Genesis 3:16) It was a curse that came from the devil after Adam allowed the devil and his demons to enter the earth and become lord of it. After Christ's resurrection, it was when Christ Jesus first appeared to the two women named Mary that the curse was wiped out in My eyes and males and females became one in Christ, on equal footing in their relationship with Me. Jesus Christ chose to appear to the women first because they were waiting for Him at the tomb.
Also as part of the practical rules that Paul wrote to Timothy was that the president of a group of believers was a noble work and that impeccable character is required of the president. He must be only once married, temperate, discreet, courteous, hospitable, a good teacher, one who manages his family well, a man who brings his children up to obey him, not a drinker, not hot-tempered, but instead to be kind and peaceable. He must not be a lover of money, must be a man who manages his family well, and his children must be well behaved. He wrote that a man is not a good candidate if he cannot manage his entire family. The president of a group should not be a new convert or pride will turn his head and then he would be condemned by the devil. People outside the church should also speak well of him so that he never gets a bad reputation and falls into the devil's trap.
He wrote to Timothy also that in the same way deacons must be respectable men whose word can be trusted, they must be moderate in the amount of wine they drink and with no squalid greed for money. He added that the men who want to be deacons must be conscientious believers in the mystery of the faith. They must be examined first and only admitted to be deacons if there is nothing against them. He wrote that in the same way women must be respectable, not gossips but must be sober and reliable. Deacons must only have been married once and must be men who manage their families well. Paul proclaimed to Timothy that the men who carry out their duties as demons will earn a high standing for themselves and will be rewarded for their work for the faith of Christ Jesus. He reiterated to Timothy that in case he was delayed from coming to them, he wanted Timothy to know how people should behave in My family, that is in Me, the Living God who holds all truth and keeps it safe.
Paul wrote that the mystery of the faith to the believers in the church where Timothy lived was very deep indeed. He wrote the facts in which they believed : 1.that Christ was made visible in the flesh, 2. that He was attested to by the Holy Spirit, 3. that Christ was seen by angels, 4. that He was proclaimed to the pagans, 5. that Christ was believed in by people in the world, and 6. then He was taken up in glory. (I Timothy 3:14-16)
Paul's serious talk with Timothy in his letter writing was full of instructions to "do this" and "don't do that." He knew how to identify the devil's works and he wanted to save his followers from having to experience the consequences of falling for the devil's temptations and thus inheriting his consequences instead of their doing My will in the earth and inheriting My kingdom of heaven in their lives.
Listen to My Holy Spirit. He knows how to lead you around the traps set for you by the devil, many about which Paul warned Timothy in his letter to him.

PAUL'S FIRST LETTER TO TIMOTHY
My Dear Precious Child,
In Paul's first letter that he wrote to Timothy, he told Timothy that he wished that he had not scurried off so quickly, that he wished that Timothy had stayed to help Paul deal with the believers who were backsliding. He wanted help with the people who had welcomed strange doctrines, myths and genealogies to supplant the faith that Paul had preached to them. He said that the entrance into their minds of doctrines, myths and genealogies helped the devil in raising doubts in the minds of the believers instead of their allowing faith to further My plans which are accomplished by the Holy Spirit. He wrote that the only purpose of the instructions he was giving to Timothy is that there should always be love coming out of a pure heart, a clear conscience and sincere faith. Paul was concerned about the believers who had gone off of the straight course and taken a path that leads to empty speculations that come from hearing false doctrine. He said that the false prophets claimed to be doctors of the Law but they understood neither the arguments that they were using nor the opinions that they were upholding. (Timothy 1:3-7)
Because the spiritual wanderers had run back to the Law and embraced it, Paul explained the merits of the Law and the real merits of My grace. He wrote to Timothy that they knew that the Law is good, but that it is for criminals, revolutionaries, the irreligious, the sacrilegious and the irreverent. He told Timothy that the Law is for people who kill their parents, for those who are murderers, for those who are immoral with women, with boys or with men, for liars and perjurers, and for everything else that is contrary to the sound teaching that goes to My Good News, about whom he was writing the letter. He assured Timothy that he was granted the anointing to teach the gospel that was revealed to him. (Timothy 1:-8-11)
He told Timothy in his first letter to him that he was grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ who had given him strength and who judged him faithful enough to be called into his service, even though he used to be a blasphemer and did everything imaginable to hurt and discredit the faith. He was grateful for My mercy toward him and told Timothy that until he became a believer he was innocent and the Lord Jesus filled him with the faith and love that is in Christ Jesus. He said that a popular saying was that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, and He saved him, being the greatest sinner. He said that since mercy had been shown to him, then nobody should doubt that Jesus came into the world to save all sinners because of his being the worst of them and he was changed from death to life. Paul knew that his testimony of complete redemption would be encouragement to other people who were ruled by the devil. Since My mercy and forgiveness had been shown to him, that was why Jesus Christ wanted to make Paul the greatest evidence and the greatest patience for all of the later people who were going to have to trust in Him and to come to eternal life. He proclaimed that I, the eternal King, the undying invisible and only God, would be honored and glorified forever and ever through his ministry.
His first writing to Timothy included the disappointment that many had left their congregation and he asked Timothy to remember the words that were once spoken over him by the prophets, the words encouraging him to take them to heart and fight like a good soldier with faith and a good conscience for their weapons. He said that some people put their conscience aside and the consequence is that their faith was wrecked. Paul even mentioned two men whom he had turned over to the devil so that they would be taught not to blaspheme.
The first piece of advice that he gave to Timothy was that he should pray for everyone, those prayers being petitions, intercessions and thanksgivings, especially for kings and others in authority so that people may be able to live reverent lives in peace and quiet. He said that to do it is pleasing to Me because I want everyone to be saved and brought to a knowledge of the truth. He proclaimed that there is only one God and only one mediator between mankind and Me, Himself being a man, Christ Jesus, who sacrificed Himself and became a ransom for all of mankind. He wrote that Christ is the evidence of prayers sent at the appointed time. Paul was delighted to be an apostle of it, a teacher of faith and truth to the pagans.
In all of Paul's writings to the churches, his proclamations of My glory, My honor, My wisdom, My knowledge and My plan for the salvation of the pagans was the central theme of the written exhortations. That was a central theme of all of the writings because Paul had been called and anointed by Me for that ministry, one which had escaped the knowledge of the men of old who were counting on salvation to only be for the Jews. Even though prophesies said that salvation would be for the whole world, the Jews felt that it primarily belonged to them because of their covenant with Me. The Jews broke their covenant with Me over and over, so I took salvation to the Gentile pagans through Paul. There was great distrust and criticism of Paul from the Jews because of his calling to take the Good News to the pagans. Paul had to battle with the devil, who hated that he was equipping the pagan believers with My Holy Spirit, but Paul also had a disagreement with the believing Jews who doubted his calling.
My words always persist. Paul's praying in tongues more than anyone allowed Me to protect him and guide him to areas of safety when he was ministering in remote areas. You are the eventual recipients of Paul's ministering to the Gentile pagans. That's why I want his words of warning to be of dire importance to you, so that you will not leave the narrow path that leads to life.

PAUL'S CLAIM TO FAME
My Dear Precious Child,
In Paul's letter to the Romans, besides the chastisement that I had for them, he wrote that they had good intentions, that they had been perfectly instructed, but they needed their memories refreshed about their glorious salvation, the power that they had in the Holy Spirit and about Paul's own position in the body of Christ. He wrote that his only claim to fame was that he was chosen to take the Good News from Me to the pagans, so that they would be reborn as new creations and made holy by the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:14-17)
He had great joy for what Christ had done for the many pagans using what Paul had preached and done by the power of signs and wonders by the power of My Holy Spirit. He said that he had preached the Good News to his upmost capacity and had made it an unbroken rule to never preach where someone else had preached the name of Christ. His reason was that he didn't want to build upon the conversion foundations that were laid by someone else. His motivation was to fulfill the scripture that says that the people who had never been told about Christ would see Him and those who had never heard about Him would understand, speaking of Paul's mission. (Isaiah 52:15)
In his letter Paul asked the believers in Rome by the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of the Holy Spirit to pray for him that I would give him help from his many dangers that came upon him in his ministry. He asked that they would pray that he would escape the believers in Jerusalem who did not understand that he was called by Me to take the Good News to the unbelieving pagans. They had opposed him for including the Gentile pagans in My family. He had also opposed the Jewish believers when they tried to put the believers in Rome under Jewish religious Law such as insisting on circumcision for them. (Romans 15:30-32) Paul's desire was to go to Rome for a good, and much deserved, rest with the believers there.
In his epilogue Paul warned the believers in Rome to be on guard against anybody who encouraged trouble between them and also anyone who put difficulties in the way of the doctrine of the Good News of Christ Jesus that they had been taught. He complimented them that their faith In Christ was famous everywhere and that made him very happy that his work among them was being rewarded. He challenged them to become wise in what is good, and innocent in what is bad. He promised that I would crush satan under their feet. As they grew in the knowledge of the power of the Holy Spirit inside of them, they would have revealed to them that they had the authoritative power of My Holy Spirit to cast the demons out of their lives and into hell. (Romans 16:17-20; Matthew 13:36-42)
His parting words in his letter were that they would glory only in Me, saying that I give to them the power to live according to the Good News that he preached in which he proclaimed Jesus Christ and the revelation of the mystery kept secret from the foundation of the world. The mystery was made so clear then so that it would be broadcast to pagans everywhere to bring all of them into the obedience of faith, the mystery being that pagans would also be included in My kingdom of heaven. It was predicted in scriptures and is part of My eternal will, that I would live in My children and write My words in their minds and in their hearts; yes, that even the pagans would be able to become My children by believing in the Good News of the resurrection of Christ. Paul proclaimed that Christ is wisdom just as I am wisdom. He instructed them to give glory to Me through Jesus Christ forever and ever.
After his chastening of them and his loving instructions to them, Paul's love and his appreciation of the many believers in Rome were apparent. They needed the criticism and corrections in order to stop yielding to the devil's temptations of allowing their fleshly passions to take over their lives where My Holy Spirit had previously been Lord.
Take heed in your mind of My Spirit's warnings through Paul. Remember that the devil goes back and forth in the earth seeking whom he may devour. (I Peter 5:8) There are believers whom he can easily devour through temptations and he may gain access to their lives through their permission. Keep up your guard.
Not only does My Holy Spirit personally tutor you, reveal My wisdom and knowledge to you, create a new being within you, glorify Me and reveal My truth, but He also discerns evil for you and gives you the power to cast all tempting demons into hell. He carries on the ministry of Christ in the world.

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)

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.

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.
Your Father of Perfect Plans
